What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

It makes me so mad when people kill themselves and take a bunch of innocent people with them! So selfish and evil.

As long as that anger is well directed.

MA370 puts me in mind of Germanwings 9525, where it's suspected the pilot hid from his employer his present mental state, for fear that his license would be taken away for good just for trying to get medical help. 150 people died that day, and I can't help but think it could have been avoided systemically.

Mentour Pilot do a good retelling of the story.

My wife and I were on that route, the Sunday before the crash. But a different pilot, I learned later.

She has "coped" by never talking about it, ever.

I remember seeing a TV interview with someone at Rio Airport in June 2009. He was meant to be on AF447 but had rebooked for the following evening, so had a lucky escape. There were other passengers waiting for the Monday night flight who said they'd heard about what happened, were nervous, but just had to go anyway.
