In reply to the discussion: I deleted a thread yesterday because I was catching flack. Gonna post again though. [View all]crimycarny
(1,781 posts)61. Why would a terrorism strike or suicide be "unplanned"
it's like saying "Hey, look a lightning bolt! Let me rush over so it will hit me".
It's just ludicrous. I feel for the families of all killed, and the parents/family of the helicopter pilot have their pain made worse by anonymous internet sleuths, who have zero clue, speculating about intentional acts on the part of the pilot.

Given that the NTSB briefing talked about the heli's black box, I think that poster was incorrect.

Is it possible that he was having sex with a blow-up doll at the time of impact? (Just asking questions.)

Am open to any topic unless it gets too MTGreen-ish. Your topic seems more like tossing around

There could be other reasons he responded. I don't find his answering alone to be determinative.

It could have just presented itself as an opportunity not did not have to be planned out, no?
