Suicide is difficult with two or three others in the cockpit.

I think getting into a twenty four year old airplane with 58,300 flight hours in 46,700 flights is probably as close to suicide as you can get.

The numbers are literally terrifying. How do you gauge metal fatigue with that sort of quarter century abuse?

That plane has been subjected to more than fifty thousand hours of high frequency vibration. Hot and cold. Pressurized and none pressurized.

It was a disaster waiting to happen.
