No-one seems to know whether the co pilot wanted to commit suicide and take the whole lot with him or whether he had a heart attack and couldn't do anything. All that was heard before the pounding on the door, was the co pilot breathing.

Jenny it was not a heart attack, the co pilot was suffering from depression and had a sick note not to fly on that day, if you read back the thread the account is all there
