An Italian pilot threatened to crash his passenger jet if his wife left him, but was stopped minutes before taking off by police.

When his wife threatened to leave, the unnamed Italian pilot, in his 40s, sent a text saying he would kill himself along with the 200 passengers on his Rome-Japan flight, The Timesreported. However, the man's wife alerted officers at Fiumicino airport, who were able to replace the pilot without the passengers' knowledge.

The incident occured in January last year - two months before German pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed Germanwings A320 into the Alps - and was kept secret until now.

I will never understand human emotion. "Oh no, my wife is leaving me. Quick! Lets kill me and 200 other innocent people!" Because.... logic.

Idiot

Some people have a breaking point much lower than others. Problem is, you don't really know until you have been there and done that.
