Maybe the idea was that he could end his life, without risking crashing the plane? Why he chose this method specifically will, unfortunately, never be answered.

I imagine it’s more like an intrusive thought when he was vulnerable. He was likely having a bad time, feeling desperate and suicidal with no help. Then the thought came that he could just open the door, so he did. No planning, no consideration, no real thought once triggered. Other people just weren’t relevant

Arguably if you have the wherewithal to consider other people, there’s at least a sliver of something to live for

If someone's so traumatised as to end their life this way, they're probably not very concerned about the consequences. Not excusing this, it's still terrible, just trying to explain it for myself.

And furthermore, this makes the other person a suspect in your death. Just a super shitty way to do it all around.

If you think that's even a glimmer of a concern in the mind of a suicidal person, I urge you to think further about it. If anything, this man knew he wasn't condemning the student as well.

I understand.

As a country. Metal health in America is bullshit. Other countries take it way more seriously.
