I'm taking the comments made by his allegedly 'ex' girlfriend with a very large pinch of salt. Methinks she is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame a tad too much.
@rantanplane. No, I disagree with the use of the word 'deliberate'. That implies intent. We do not know (nor does anyone else, for that matter, at this moment in time) whether he did this with intent and full knowledge of his actions OR if he did it while affected by (a) drug side-effects (b) some physical illness, mini-stroke whatever etc.
Do you actually know the girl in question and so have something to lend support to what you say you "methinks", or are you just assigning her an inflated penchant for attention-seeking based on your own prejudices and therefore not something you think, but merely feel? You seem completely comfortable implying what her intent is (attention-seeking and media vanity that would lead her to embellish and perhaps lie), and then in practically the same breath take to task someone about the relationship between "deliberate" and "intent" with regards to the pilot.
You can be assured that both the criminal and accident investigators are NOT going to take her statements "with a grain of salt" as you do, and will interview and pin down anyone else as well who had any interaction with this guy that might lend insight into his mindset and later actions. If there is evidence that points to this possibly being a premeditated, criminal act, it's their job to take relevant statements and facts seriously, and the are very good at separating the relevant from the attention-seekers. But they don't just blow them off based on a feeling.
