Sorry, but LOL Smile | :) . Pilot was not drugged. CVR audio clearly shows he was belligerent to the captain earlier in the flight as well. Refused to open the door. Manually turned on the override lock and manually pushed the "crash button". Controlled decent rules out mechanical failure. CVR would also pick up any cockpit alarms from a mechanical failure.

One thing I will admit, is I was thinking the co-pilot was going to be a certain religion which is yet TBD. All that has been revealed so far is that he is a German national.

Pilot suicide, while extremely rare has happened quite a few times before. I want to say 4 or 5 times.

Also, the CVR seems to show that the co-pilot was alone (i.e. no hijacker pointing a gun to his head).

But at least this scumbag POS had the decency to crash the plane in a recoverable area and not play "Where's Waldo?" like the MH370 guy.

Check out CNN.com... front page has an 80 pt font saying it was suicide.
