Sounds more like "spectacular suicide" than a prank to me. He had probably decided to kill himself and wanted to go out in a blaze of glory rather than jumping off a bridge or eating a shotgun shell etc.

No one tries to loop-the-loop a passenger plane and thinks they're likely to survive.

They were there so fast BECAUSE of that... The regulations on what happens in these situations were completely rewritten after 9/11.

Tthat's like saying, isn't it weird that you don't see Presidents rolling down the street in a limo with the roof off like Kennedy did anymore... well DUHH.

Obviously after a major tragedy they make major changes to the security.
