He was a homosexual. His lover was also mentally deficient, and later killed himself.

Could be it wasn’t the engineer’s fault anymore than it was the airline pilots’ fault on 9/11. Anyone have any idea how accesible the engineer compartments are to the other passengers? His text messaging could very easily have been used by somebody else while he was lying on the floor.
Unlikely. If you yahoo search the engineer's background, you'll find that he was carrying a lot of 'baggage'. Or as someone else put it, his worries were comparable to that of a fat mouse in a house of hungry cats.
Concerned about losing his job due to a string of thefts he had committed and been caught. His H-IV positive partner recently committed suicide. The sister of said partner was convinced that her brother was not suicidal and was dropping hints that she was 'off'd' by someone (i.e., the engineer)... Just an all-around unseemly story. He may have just 'snapped'. Very tragic for very many people.
