>Michael David Crawford wrote about airplane software and computers and safety but was arrested by the police because he wrote it at Grove Beach McDonalds and was charged with being a nuisance.

This reads like he was arrested for writing about airplane software, when it appears he was arrested for having a schizophrenic episode in a McDonald's and was likely asked to leave and refused.

>Soon after these plans like Flight 370 started to happen. He was the first one to discover the bugs in Boeing's software and never got credit for it, just a year in jail with time served.

How exactly did he get the software in the first place?
