Can I get a why did he try that up in here?
According to the off-duty pilot that tried to crash the plane, it was the shrooms he ate a week or so beforehand that made him want to do it.
Now, I don't know if You've ever tried psilocybin before, but that's not how any of that works.
Not that that necessarily changes the "that's not how any of that works" part, but it wasn't "a week or so."
Everyone thats been to DARE classes knows that mushrooms stay in your system forever.
Could precipitate a psychotic episode.
Damn strong shrooms if they lasted a week.
That's not how psychosis works.
He hadn't slept for 40hrs. Sleep deprivation to that extent is much more likely than the mushroom to be the "cause".
Besides the shrooms and sleep deprivation; many pilots do not report depression or seek therapy out of fear of being grounded. This, obviously, can lead to severe mental health problems. Not sure if that was a factor in this case, however.
I've heard this as well. Even seeking therapy will get your license taken away. Admitting to smoking weed even once in your life will get your license taken away. Those kinds of regulations lead to pilots hiding their substance abuse and mental health issues. They can't get help for the little issues, so they become big issues.
Smoking weed even once, lmao thats ridiculous...
He was in some altered mental state. When he was eventually removed from the cockpit, he told a flight attendant to cuff him to a chair, "or it's going to be bad."
Here's a summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIbKwr8WKRI
I assumed suicide since pilot suicide is an oddly common phenomenon.
