    They did on an earlier account I read. But they now seem to have pulled it out. His name May have been Rich or Richard. That much I did find.

    He was a sick person hell bent on suicide. He succeeded at the age of 29, I feel bad for his family and wonder what demons drove him to do this.

    If you listen to the radio exchange between the ATC and the "pilot" is pretty clear he's not a terrorist. On fact, he's rather casual as he talks to the ATC considering he's gonna drive it into the ground in a few minutes.. The ATC was calling him by name, Rich or Richard while communicating with him and trying to talk him into landing.

    It has been released to the public.

    Anyone that takes their own life is definitely sick but least he didn't take out any innocent people on his way out which he could have easily done, planes can be replaced.

    For a non-pilot, this mechanic pulled off some pretty impressive maneuvers. I guess playing video flight games will teach you something.

    It's simple: They don't release the names of dead people so the family doesn't hear about it on TV. No conspiracy involved.
