Airbus A320 Crashes in Alps

[eaterfan]

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. With the number of pilots/co-pilots and the stress of the job/crazy hours. The rate of suicide in planes is incredibly small. I know they have fairly recently cut back on how much pilots/crews can fly but before that it was nuts.

if you want to take yourself out, that's your prerogative. but to take 149 other people with you? man, that really, really sucks. what an evil guy.

debris field in a very treacherous area. recovery efforts are going to be terribly difficult on this one. reports are there were two infants on board.

 

Just wondering, and not picking a fight.. why the specific mention of infants?

[yk9001]

This will happen to the Rams stadium if they build it

There are no screams of Allahu Akbar on the flight recorder so you can rule out severe mental illness.

[Hollyw00d]

[Hollyw00d]

IF you really want to die, just take yourself out.  why make so many others go with you

My pharmacist's daughter is a junior in college this year, and is studying abroad this semester in Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

He and his wife were reluctant to le her go due to the craziness n the world lately.

 

1. She arrived in Denmark the day of the Paris terrorist attacks

2. She was in Copenhagen the day of those terrorist attacks

3. She was on the same flight last Saturday returning from Spring Break in Spain

 

He and his wife are going there to visit her this weekend, and staying for a week.

 

P.S. they are jewish

Germanwings pilot ordered jet down to 100 feet, trackers say

[Hollyw00d]

No special reason.

There are reports circulating that the co-pilot was a Muslim convert.

 

Yeah, I know. Gateway Pundit is a conservative site, so it's probably a pack of lies.

[Hollyw00d]

Its at least half as reliable as Brian williams

[fan_since79]

The German news source they cited is apparently an anti-Islamic blog, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

At some point we'll find out. The German authorities would not cover that up if it were true. They don't care about offending members of a certain "peaceful" religion.

[arch stanton]

Yeah, Islam is the only answer. I can't think of a single incident in the past 500 years where a non-Muslim did something sinister. Germans in particular are devout peaceniks.

Prosecutors: Evidence Germanwings co-pilot hid illness

 

 

German news media painted a picture of a man with a history of depression who had received psychological treatment, and who may have been set off by a falling out with his girlfriend.

I get the sense that the Germans (Lufthansa) and French (Airbus) are extremely quick to come to the "suicide" conclusion.

[Hollyw00d]

Well yeah this is obviously Allah's fault

[Schildog]

Thanks for bringing that into the scope fan since

We get it. Some Muslim dude stole your first love, was picked over you for your dream job, and is probably a Red Sox fan.

At least you were able to see through that one. Why was the far right so hopeful that it was Muslim extremists?
