Suicide by pilot

Okay kiddo, so you know that when we fly on an airplane, there's someone called a pilot who drives the plane, right?

Well, sometimes, very sadly, a pilot can feel so, so unhappy and upset that they decide they don't want to be alive anymore. And sometimes, they make the very, very wrong decision to crash the plane on purpose, as a way to end their own life.

Now, it's really important to remember that this is an extremely rare thing. Most pilots love their jobs and their passengers and would never ever do something like this. And if you ever hear about someone thinking of doing something like this, that's a cue to tell a grown-up who can help them get the support they need.

Plus, all airplanes have safety features and procedures in place to keep everyone on board safe, so even if something like this did happen, there are things that can be done to help keep everyone as safe as possible.

Overall, it's really important to remember that life can be hard sometimes, but there are always people who care and want to help.
