Maybe the guy just needed a cigarette.

kilgore,
actually that was the case. mr. dziekanski had quit smoking the day prior to the incident. even with cigarettes the effects of withdrawal can be quite severe for some people: it places the body into a state of extreme stress which leads to a mental imbalance. it seems that this, along with being detained whilst unable to communicate, led to the obvious distress seen in the tape. the guy just needed a smoke and a translator, instead overzealous cops took his life. sad.
