> Local Authorities are investigating whether one of the pilots stabbed the other one and are also looking into the possibility that one of the pilots attempted suicide by crashing the aircraft. A suicide while taking hundreds of others with you too is a bit of a weird use of the word "suicide" though: it'd be not unlike saying "the person attempted suicide by detonating a bomb in a crowded market" .

Cabin crew got the cockpit door open, there were off duty pilots on board, and they landed without a rudder. What a crazy story. The speculation and astroturfing has been interesting as well. There were reports that the crew were Ukrainian and Russian. Some comments on the avherald post are "must be Boeing's fault" (which I'm sure pleases Simon, the AirIndia truther).
