This should be tagged suicide. This was no accident. No one wants to die of dehydration and starvation like they do, legally, to the elderly in hospice care.

Nah, he just took a bad loop. 90 year old semi-famous astronauts are probably going to be bigger thrillseekers than your average geriatric.

This actually looks very similar to some other cases of pilots getting too many Gs when doing loops or other stunts and falling unconscious. I don't think it was suicide, it was just a 90-year-old man getting knocked out by extreme G-forces and crashing.

Hell of a way to go out! I mean, can you think of a cooler way for a 90 year old man to go out with style?

People suggesting suicide are idiotic. This man achieved more than 99.99% of people will ever be able to. Also he most likely still had a few years ahead of him.

However, this also makes me wonder how a 90 year old person, regardless of their fitness and life achievements, was still allowed to fly.

If it started out as suicide, it looks like he changed his mind, he tried really hard to pull up in the end
