I’m only familiar with one time that happened, Fedex Flight 705. In 1994, a DC-10 flight engineer decided he was going to provide for his family by dying on the job in a plane crash. His method of making this happen? Attack the flight crew with a guitar case full of hammers. He was not successful; he’s currently serving two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, charged with attempted murder and attempted air piracy. The three flight crew members he attacked survived with extreme injuries, the aircraft was repaired and only recently retired.
