If the Air India crash was pilot murder-suicide like it appears to have been, that would make murder-suicide the probable cause of 781 deaths since 2014, likely more than any other cause in airline accidents. Weird to think that might be the most salient issue in aviation safety.

After reading the prelim report and knowing a good bit about that plane, I’d say the chance of murder-suicide is 90%. It’s nearly impossible to operate those fuel cutoff switches without intending to do so. And cutting fuel at that altitude == gooey kablooey. Any pilot would know that.
