if one of the pilots were responsible for this, it makes me sick to my stomach.  not joking.

and in what could be the final ending of this story and a plot twist to end all plot twists... the 53 year old pilot was apparently a very big supporter of a malaysian politician named Anwar Ibrahim, who was put in jail for sodomy the day before this flight took off. it seems he was very upset at this ruling and there are rumors that his wife and three children moved out of the house the day of or day before the flight. wow!

When we heard about the sodomy, we all just thought it was a coincidence.

it would make me feel a lot better knowing some butthurt pilot just went nuts and flew this thing into the ocean than it was a terrorist thing or mechanical issues.

Seriously though, I bet it was a suicide (and homicide, obviously)

No way. The faith that your pilot wants to stay alive as much as you do is a crucial component of flying comfort.

The obvious question, then, is what was the other pilot doing?

In the example everyone keeps citing, the other pilot left the cockpit and was locked out by suicide pilot.

The rumoured run up to 45k then a rapid descent to 23k would chill some rough riders out
