Originally posted by suityou01 View PostI am very worried by the state of the world we live in. This copilot has grieving family too. Should we not wait until the investigation concludes before hurling accusations?
For all we know, he was having a delusional episode and there is some previously unknown medical history or congenital condition that was missed.
Reading around the web I can find really out there, tin foil hat shit: like
- the LHC at CERN. Switched off around the time the plane flew over (some nonsense about generating black holes and it's being covered up)
- ley lines (I shit: you not)
- apparently the New World Order/Illuminati wanted somebody on the plane bumped off so used remote mind control on the co-pilot. Then had a squad standing by near the mountain to remove the flight data recorder before the cavalry arrived.
Being mentally ill, outwardly functional and, therefore,being able to cover it up is also a theory, but more one I can relate to.+50 Xeno Geek Points

And ,of course, we only have the word of the French investigators and Lufthansa to go on. All I'm saying is that deliberate crashing of the plane is currently most likely (remember the voice recorder data is in the public domain and cannot, ultimately, be suppressed).

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostIt's a strange one.
Assuming the guy was mentally ill, he may or may not also have been evil.
As most people aren't evil, the balance of probability is that he did what he did because of mental illness.
If he had had a physical illness that caused the plane to crash, no one would be calling him a murderer. AFAIK, no-one called the Glasgow bin lorry driver a murderer.
If the doctor had informed his employer, and he had been grounded, then it would not encourage other people with depression to seek help - crashing a plane full of people is not a foreseeable outcome for most people with depression unless he had actually expressed that sort of intent.Comment

In terms of what can/should be learned from this, I think as a passenger I'd sooner go back to a scenario where it is easier to gain access to the cockpit. Yes there is the terrorist angle and you can argue that this is more likely than a single rogue pilot, but look at it another way: supposing even with a rule that 2 people have to be on the flight deck at all times, how difficult would it really be for a rogue pilot or flight crew member to incapacitate the other person and lock themselves in the cockpit with complete security to do as they want. Balance that against 100+ passengers who want to survive and let them get into the cockpit to fight back and try to regain control of the aircraft.
I'm not saying either situation is ideal, but the idea of me sitting in a passenger seat and being separated from the cockpit by a locked grenade proof door worries me more than the odd terrorist who would have to fight their way through the passengers to get to the flight deck. In that situation I'd like to have some chance of survival and feel like I have at least a slight chance of taking action to rectify the situation. The people on that flight had zero chance of survival once the door was locked behind the pilot and that has to change.Comment
