The most recent of course was the horrible crash of Germanwings 9525 in March 2015, where the first officer, Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit, then reset the autopilot altitude to 100 feet sending the plane crashing into the French Alps. When it happens it is shocking and deeply troubling for the traveling public. The pilot theory pins the probable blame on 53-year old captain Zaharie Shah. Anyone who tells you they do know is, frankly, making it up. The simple, short answer as to which is true: we don't know. Under that scenario, the pilots tried to get back to safety in Malaysia, but became incapacitated and the plane flew on or that the pilots are heroes, and knowing they were doomed, set a course to avoid ground casualties and died after the plane crashed. The second view, and the one to which I subscribe, is that there was some form of mechanical fault. The first suggests that the captain hijacked the plane and flew it with all 238 other people on board to their deaths by crashing in the southern Indian Ocean.
