In a shocking incident, a small plane piloted by a 66-year-old man named Liu plummeted into Beijing's tallest skyscraper, the CITIC Tower, last Friday. The crash resulted in Liu's death and injuries to 13 others. Authorities reported that Liu was a divorced freelancer residing alone in Beijing, suffering from chronic insomnia and anxiety, and had expressed intentions of ending his life in his diary. The investigation concluded this incident as a case of public safety endangerment due to personal reasons. In the aftermath, aviation firms were instructed to suspend light aircraft operations, and social media platforms removed content related to the skyscraper. The CITIC Tower, also known as China Zun, is situated near the Communist Party's headquarters, a location that has been considered a lucky charm by locals. However, the crash led to the removal of unrelated photos and memes from Chinese social media platforms. Liu had obtained his sport pilot's license in 2021 and his private pilot's license in 2024, piloting a two-seat, single-engine Aurora SA60L manufactured by Sunward Aircraft for touring, aerial photography, and recreational aviation purposes. This tragic event raises concerns about mental health issues among pilots and the need for stronger safety measures in the aviation industry.
