I saw some reenactment show a long time ago about a pilot on (I think) a UPS plane who was going to kill himself like that so his family would get the insurance money. He was one of 3 crew members and his plan was to murder the other two and then crash the plane. The other two crew members were able to stop him.Suicide by pilot is an aviation event in which a pilot deliberately crashes or attempts to crash an aircraft as a suicide act, with or without the intention of causing harm to passengers on board or people on the ground. If others are killed, it may be considered a type of murder–suicide.[1] It is suspected to have been a possible cause in several commercial flight crashes and has been confirmed as the cause in other instances.
OMG, I just realized that a lot of plane crashes may have been murder suicides but the airlines will never tell us that if they don't have to.
