Underneath of here is a pilots take on this...

Funny, a part of it very much mimic MY thoughts on the subject...

See, I AM a ski instructor. I haven't worked as it for years now, except teaching the odd friend and family... But part of me will always be a ski instructor, no matter what career I have.

I take people up mountains, and bring them down safely. That is my creed, that is my honour.

AND THIS IS WHAT I CAN'T GET ABOUT THIS PILOT!!!

If you want to take your own life, by all means... Who am I to judge all in all...

If you want to do it in an airplane... Again, by all means, just rent a plane and go fly yourself...

But how the **** can someone bring down an airplane with 150+ people on it, because HE wants to die?

I have tried to wrap my head around this, but I still don't get it. Terrorists blowing themselves up I can GET, not agree with of course, but GET on some level... But this just... I have no words.

I can only view it from my own perspective... It would be like ME wanting to kill myself... And how I do it is by taking a skiing group who trust my ability to an extreme risk avalanche area...

I just... I have no words. The thought is so far beyond me that I don't even know how to handle the thought... How can someone hate himself so much that he kills not just himself, but his HONOUR, his creed? This is a hatred or bitterness that goes to levels I may not be built to understand.

Not in my wildest nightmares would I even have been able to conceive the idea of me willingly risking other people's lives, people who trust me, people who I have made into a large part of my life to serve...

I. just. don't. get. it.
