A PILOT left a chilling internet suicide note blasting the American tax system today before flying his plane into a government office block as revenge, US investigators suspect.
Joseph Stack, 53, torched his own home in Austin, Texas, yesterday then flew the four-seater aircraft into a seven-storey office block nearby.
The software engineer had earlier left a note on the on the internet blasting the government and in particular the Internal Revenue Service who are responsible for tax collection.
He wrote: "Violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer."
Initially two employees were sent to hospital and another remained unaccounted for. But the whole building - which houses 190 IRS employees - had not been searched fully as flames ripped through the building. The pilot died in the incident.
His chilling six-page suicide note emerged on the internet after the incident and detailed his constant complaints against the IRS and letters to government officials he claimed were ignored.
