So this came out today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32062278
The Pilot was allegedly locked out of the cockpit and made a desperate attempt to get back in.. while the plane was nosediving into a mountain. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for the passengers watching all this happen.
Suicide is a documented cause of air traffic disasters but it doesn't ease the shock much (if it was indeed suicide and not some act of 'terrorism' on behalf of the co-pilot). I'm sure these pilots go through regular psych evaluations but I might be wrong. Does anyone know otherwise?
