Video: What Happened to the Passengers on Missing Plane MH370 Before it Crashed? With William Langewiesche

[This is fascinating and weird. At the end they ask why the pilot flew so long before the plane crashed into the sea. I checked here on a website that deals with airline pilots and discusses this topix of hypoxia (dying from decompression) at length along with tables: https://www.theairlinepilots.com/forumarchive/aeromedical/decompressionandhypoxia.php  It turns out that at 40,000 feet you will die in 15-20 seconds. So it's very quick. Down at ground level you'll take 10 minutes to be brain dead. So why did the plane fly until it ran out of fuel? Well, maybe the pilot just took off his own mask and he died in 20 seconds? That would be quick and easy and much better than diving down. In another show this guy told Megyn that when planes crash, that 90% of pilots end up screaming. It is extremely unpleasant. They know this from cockpit voice recorders. So why not just kill yourself pleasantly and then the plane flies by itself until it runs out of fuel. So this plane may have been filled with everyone being dead … and it flies on until it runs out of fuel and crashes. That is actually not an unpleasant way to die. They discuss the German pilot who flew the plane straight into a mountain. I think there was a lot of cloud cover so nobody saw it coming – except for the pilot who knew. So that's a really quick death carried out by a pilot. It might be that this pilot planned all along to die from hypoxia because that is a quick and relatively pleasant death. That could be the simple answer as to why he did all this. He can only do this on a plane, so he chose to kill everyone because he wanted to die a relatively easy death. That seems to me to be the clincher. Jan]
