The accident happened because a piece on the airplane wasn’t put back on the right way. The company that made the plane didn’t teach the workers well enough or check their work carefully. Also, the people in charge of making sure planes are safe didn’t do a good job checking on things.

And the whistleblower trying to warn people about this and other issues was potentially executed by the company.

I see this conspiracy theory hasn’t died yet

This is one of two. As theories go conspiracy is pretty plausible in this case. Unless you’re just naive about how the world works.

There's supposedly video evidence of him parking his truck and nobody approaching it at all until people were there discovering the body. He had his personal firearm in his hand, ballistics suggest the bullet came from his gun, and it followed a path that made sense with him holding it and using it on himself.

But hey I guess they did some kind of mind control on him.

> There's supposedly video evidence

That statement is so weak it's better at inflaming the conspiracy theory than quelling it.

I hadn't watched the footage personally. Many other have and that was their conclusion.

The coroner's report also sure sounds like a suicide. Gunshot to the right temple, very close range, from the victim's gun. No evidence of any struggle or forced entry. No evidence of anyone being with him. A note with only his fingerprints in what seems to be his handwriting.

Obviously there's no possibile way a mentally unstable person under a lot of continued stress would ever take their own life, just never happens. The only way people die are because corporations have them executed.

Is there even a single shred of evidence suggesting someone else pulled the trigger?
