Malfunctions of planes and aircraft are an unfortunate but all-too-common reality in the world today. While most of these accidents are not intentional, some are done on purpose. This seems to be the case in a recent case. BBC New is reporting that a recent crash of an aircraft in Connecticut was intentional. The news has people looking into the incident to see if it was really true.
The incident took place on Wednesday. BBC News reports that a Jordanian flight student has purposefully crashed an aircraft. The accident left the student dead and injured his instructors as well. The student has been identified as Feras Freitekh and was 28 years old. Officials believe the incident was suicide.
BBC News is also reporting that the student had an altercation with his instructor before the crash took place. The instructor has told authorities that she was unable to regain control of the student and the aircraft after the argument took place. Thankfully, no one else was hurt in the crash, but the plane nearly collided with some civilians. The instructors have been hospitalized because of their injuries and are all expected to fully recover,
The news has many people concerned as to why and how the incident occurred. There has not been much information released, but people are looking into what factors may have caused the student’s meltdown and his emotional state at the time of the incident.
The safety of people and students are always going to be a concern for people in all professions. Unfortunately, a young man lost his life in this situation. In the future, hopefully, this situation can be a learning experience for this institution and at other ones across the country. As the story develops, the nation will continue to pay close attention.
