Not the first time it's happened. Pretty much the same scenario here:

EgyptAir Flight 990 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just read that the pilot who crashed the plane told his girlfriend a day before the crash that "I'm planning a heinous act that will be remembered forever."

If he somehow survived the crash, if his girlfriend testified that he told her that, that would earn him 149 life sentences in prison.

He didn't do a very good job. Terrible? Sure. Remembered forever? Doubtful.

"he didn't do a very good job"? How can you even say that? He'll be remembered forever by 149 families for their rest of their existence, and the airline of the plane he crashed has already instituted new changes for the door mechanism, so he'll be remembered for that too.

Well for starters, once the media isn't shoving a topic down Americas throat the story tends to disappear. Second, 9/11, Flight 370, Flight 800, etc etc... Also, how often do you associate technological advances with the heinous acts that inspired their creation?

He'll be remembered by several nervous flyers in the future if nothing else.

Well I clearly remember the creation of a sub-branch of the Department of Homeland Security in response to the dearth of safety measures enforced prior to 9/11, and everybody knows the name of the agency now: the TSA.

I am unfamiliar with those other two off the top of my head.
