Airbrush Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Much has been said about the Germanwings co-pilot who coaxed the pilot out of the cockpit, so he could lock the door and crash the plane. What about his mental state? How often does a pilot, or bus driver, intentionally kill themselves AND their passengers? It seems like a severe hatred of other people, including himself. News report stated Andreas told his girl friend (or x girl friend?) that he was going to do something that will be remembered that will "change the system". What can this possibly mean? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/world/europe/germanwings-copilot-andreas-lubitz.html?_r=0 Edited March 30, 2015 by Airbrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take for example EgyptAir flight 990 that crashed in international waters by a relief pilot as an act of revenge (one of the versions). I guess, if a person is already in a state of mind where he/she doesn't care about his own life anymore, why would he/she care about some random people? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/mar/16/duncancampbell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
