There are two reasons why he might have hit the fence.

The Russians, either moved the fence, or modified a navigation beacon to erroneously lead the pilot to the fence.

AND...

Who said he shot himself?

and were there black helicopters and did the fuel tank contain nanoprobes?

The knee-jerk TSA reaction will probably include preventing pilots from having access to the aircraft without a complete background check and psychological exam prior to each flight...
TSA was too busy patting down old ladies on wheelchairs and little kids...!!

No one should have access to any cabin at any time; on the ground or in the air. And yes that includes pilots and air crew.

I find this a sad story.

Girlfriend troubles.

The guy decides to call it quits.

But before/during killing himself he decides that he's always wondered what it was like to go four wheeling in an RJ (or immitate a James Bond movie)- and could at least check that off from his bucket list before departing.

...or maybe he was mad at the company too and knew that it's expensive to fix dents on an RJ (or maybe hoped the whole thing would have burned up.)

???

You forgot the part where he kills her girlfriend and he becomes a fugitive searched by the police.

I think he meant for the aircraft to explode and burn him in it.

Further up the thread, you and I both discussed conspiracy theories, or have the mind probes gotten to you?
