Because when somebody is mentally ill they do not think properly.

Not in control of his actions.

More victims of the bogus "War on Terror".

Do you know any one that has suffered from depression?

If mental illness did not have such a stigma attached to it, is their more of a chance he could have received medical help?

Is blaming and accusing people or compassion and help more likely to avoid a repeat in the future?

None of that has anything to do with what you wrote, which was he was a victim [of the war on terror].

Okay so it's looking like a suicide but what I find strange is that the co-pilot kept quiet the whole time he was alone in the cockpit. You would have thought that he would have responded to the radio even if he ignored requests - almost all suicides leave a note to say why they are doing it and I would have thought that he would have done that over the radio. keeping totally silent is strange.

Don't be silly now, doors were reinforced and made that they could not be forced because of "the war on Terror".

Before the pilot could have forced the door without problem.

people with clinical depression still make a lot of very rational decisions - they are not raging crazy

most of their suicides result from not wanting to be a burden to others - mostly family

and they usually not kill other people in the process

but the victims in this case are the 149 other passengers and crew - not that guy that crashed the plane.

He did receive medical help, but outside of his profession.

From reading the main pilots forum, it's clear that much of that industry just doesn't get it. Anything irrational goes against the grain of being a pilot, and thinking like a pilot. People try to discuss mental health issues, but they're shouted down as being full of shit.
