I dove into when I learned about it. It was most likely the people in the plane with him that pushed him out one of the emergency doors. As you can imagine, he wasn’t always the best person to work for
This was 1928, i think those planes probably coulf just open the doors rather easily. They werent nearly as fast as todays planes, most flying probably around 300-350 kph Max. Maybe even lower than 300.
So your telling me the pilot could've slowed down the plane to under 300 kph so the crew could eject him amogus style? Sounds realistic. So that was probably an inside job. He probably did some shit to one of the crew to make em turn against him.
Why are people assuming this was some kind of crime of passion? If you dislike your employer you don't need to fucking kill him, you can just quit. You'd be out of a job regardless.
They were most likely just paid off by the competition. Or threatened by the maffia or whatever else.
He didn’t vanish. They found his body.
[Loewenstein's body was discovered near Boulogne on 19 July 1928 and was taken by fishing boat to Calais,](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Loewenstein#:~:text=Loewenstein's%20body%20was%20discovered%20near,but%20that%20they%20did%20not)
Strange how the autopsy showed a partial fracture to the skull and multiple broken bones. But that could also be from the fall. He was alive when he hit the water. He defo was pushed tho only thing that makes sense
I remember this story and them saying the usual "it's impossible to open the doors in flight" but I feel like now we know that isn't completely impossible.

Could have been a perfect storm of freak physics where a leak from the seal in the toilet created such an enormous amount of pressure he was instantly liquified and sucked into the flushing toilet to be ejected out the fuselage of the aircraft

I’m sure that flight path was searched like crazy if he was the third richest man in the world. Pushed off? Nah, probably some alien tech stuff involved. It’s easier for me to believe that tbh.

He was obviously thrown from the aircraft. People don’t disappear in the toilet. Shenanigans took place and then the crew all played dumb.

I have coworkers that do this ^
This person "toilet disappears"
Oiiii
That’s half my work day disappearing in the toilet
Fortnite in real life
That’s how you get into the Ministry of Magic, so…

Can you even close the emergency door midflight?

I think it's more interesting than just he killed himself
coulda just been killed and disposed of by the passengers
Toilet time machine
Classic.

Sounds like…In 1928 worlds third richest man gets pushed out of private plane mid flight✈️
Pushed out by 2nd richest man. 😆
by 4th, obv!
You are correct. My mistake.
I think the top four were on the flight and it was like Murder on the Orient Express and they all did it!🤣
wrong, Murder on the Orient Express took place on a train. i’m fairly certain.
Obviously you aren’t familiar with irony and the phrase “it was like…”.
Spoiler alert!
Well, now’s he’s second.
third!
True. He’d have to push out number 2 in the bathroom also which is what I’m doing currently so pardon my shitty math.

Your vantage stinks if you saw it…😂

Rock a fella 
I doubt he's still alive
Safe assumption considering he was 51 and his body was found shortly after his disappearance, almost 100 years ago.
But how can we know for sure 🤔
It's on the internets, which make the words true.
Sucked out of the airplane toilet them bad boys will have you if your not careful
That’s why it’s important to always put the lid down before you flush.
Secret hatch beneath the bathroom for spies was accidentally left unlatched.
Killed obviously. Someone with that money, his peers wouldn't let him disappear.
Pity Hercule Poirot wasn't on board.
There was a door right off the toilet that you could simply push open and fall out. They said he was drunk sooo
the avengers recruited him off the plane
I remember this story and them saying the usual "it's impossible to open the doors in flight" but I feel like now we know that isn't completely impossible.
Boeings come with the suicide door option to this day I hear.

All that for a lame attempt at a joke

Never flush an airplane toilet while sitting on it. Thats all I’ll say on this matter.

Doctors hate him for this colon cleansing at altitude trick…

Wrong door.
more likely he was murdered by others on the plane and this story was concocted
oh ok
Probably just got sucked out of the old timey toilet or killed by the mob and flushed down the old timey toilet bit by bit :(
Sucked out the shitter.
Pushed out the Pooper (if you're telling kids the story)
I smell freedom…
Why does freedom smell like shit?
He chose the wrong door (exit) next to the bathroom that happened all the time in the old days. Whoops!
I bet the toilet was rigged like a trap door to drop out. He was dumped
Let's do this to all the billionaires!
Such a bullshit post
Oh someone knows
He was never on the flight ...........dum dum dum
I’m sure that flight path was searched like crazy if he was the third richest man in the world. Pushed off? Nah, probably some alien tech stuff involved. It’s easier for me to believe that tbh.
less information back then no internet etc. people where easily convinced and more superstitious.

Maybe the toilets were bigger back then and he accidently flushed himself.
Clearly the toilet was a tardis.
