      Re: Headline News Thread

      OK, I'm done until further notice. Some nutter who was clearly an airport or airline employee hijacked a commercial plane, somehow got through the necessary procedures to get in the air, and then went nuts?

      It all makes total sense...

        It's so comical (yes, tragic, too, but look at it from our eyes).
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Yes, it was a Horizon Q.

            I'm guessing it was a mechanic. They would know how to start the engines and taxi. Taking a plane off is easy. Landing is the hard part.

              Oh, I agree, which is why if this person isn't an airport employee, I'd be shocked. They know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to follow-through.

              Anyone can fly - I did a "discovery" flight when I was 16. Landing is ultimately all about well-timed drag (while coordinating with other aircraft on the same approach).

              Why am I telling a UND Av grad this? I'll shut-up now.

                Looks like I was right. 29 year old mechanic.

                  So what does 2018 have to do with it? It’s been no more random than the average year.

                      The radio exchange is eerie. Really eerie. He knew what he was doing, and just didn't care.

                        News reports I saw weren’t confirming whether he was a mechanic or not, just “ground service employee” aka a ramper.

                          That's what I've seen. Someone who kind of takes on many little jobs.
