SO many facets to this story.
But the most important one, to me, is Suicide/Depression.
No one seems to be mentioning the reason why he did this.
One of the articles did, and the recorded conversations between the control tower and the "pilots" alluded to that. He was an airport worker who got into an empty plane and somehow was able to take off. It's a miracle no other planes ended up involved either on the runway or in the air. The guy knew what he knew from video games. Can you believe it? Even more unbelievable is the fact that he could even do what he did with so called airport security.
I’ve seen a lot of interviews.
IMO.....it would be nice to have someone from a
Suicide Prevention Organization to come on to talk about the
reason why he did this. The HOW he did this is important for
our safety, but it’s imperative we still talk about the reason why.

What makes you think that SPO would know why this particular man chose to do this, unless he left his written plan?I think the man himself already answered the question. He said he had a screw loose. Knowing the exact detail of everything in his life now is not going to change things. Dead is dead. People do suicidal things all the time, and each one is a separate case. The point is he should NEVER have been able to take a Horizon plane and become airborn in the first place. They need to review every detail of how this transpired and make sure the circumstances are never right for this to happen again. Many others could have succumbed as well. Sea Tac Airport has some explaining to do.
