    You read German, I don't, so not sure if this is the article in question.

    Knew it wouldn't be too long of a wait until someone tied the expected Islamic reference to the tragic tale...

    Basically the article states that a lot of speculation and innuendo are making the rounds . . . some Facebook entries say that he converted to Islam and died for Allah, another suggests a laser beam from a failed American air force test brought him down.

    It goes into detail regarding medical possibilities and the procedures allowed under German law - he last undertook a psych eval in 2010.
    Nothing has been found in his apartment as yet to point to any 'reasons' . . .

    The article ends with both 'sides' playing the Islam card to their advantage . . . one side saying he died for Islam to put fear in the hearts of westerners, the other side ants to use his being an Islamic fanatic to stiffen the resolve of westerners not to kowtow to Islam

    In other words - nothing concrete yet

    DÜSSELDORF, Germany (AFP) – The co-pilot thought to have deliberately crashed his Germanwings jet into the French Alps, killing all 150 aboard, kept secret the fact that he was written off sick on the day, German prosecutors said Friday.

    Searches of his homes had netted "medical documents that suggest an existing illness and appropriate medical treatment", including "torn-up and current sick leave notes, among them one covering the day of the crash," they said.

    This "backs up the suspicion" that Andreas Lubitz – who reportedly suffered from severe depression – "hid his illness from his employer and his colleagues", said prosecutors in the western city of Duesseldorf in a statement.

    They said that "interviews on this subject and the evaluation of medical records will take several more days" and that the outcome would be made public "once reliable evidence is available".

    Authorities did not find a "suicide note or a confession", or any evidence that the co-pilot's actions may have been motivated by "a political or religious background".

    Officers had on Thursday combed through a flat Lubitz kept in Duesseldorf as well as the house where he lived with his parents in the small western town of Montabaur.

    Or ban crew from making requests to fly together in case they're planning a suicide pact?

    Not a bad idea.

    Much safer than the chance we take every time we drive or ride on any Thai road.
    Yeah, we hear that one repeated endlessly...

    However, this will give a whole bunch of nutters the idea for them to try the same thing...

    When this tread started a few people moaning about Airbus,computers,fly by wire not safe don't trust them better give pilot more control.
    Now its pilots don't trust them manic depressives.
    Not sure which i prefer in charge of the flight controls but one things for sure,the computer not likely going to kill us on purpose.
    Unless its programmed to do so.
    Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what to do, whereas priests... more drink!

    As pure speculation, it would be interesting if one of those finds is a prescription for an ssri, which do have a reputation for making some people violently suicidal during the first few weeks they are taken. paroxetine and Donald Schell come to mind.

    Quite- depending on which sector of the loonysphere you subscribe to, Lubitz was either a converted Moslem terrorist om a jihad mission, or a homicidal Zionist driven by hatred for gentiles, Germans in particular.

    "Quite remarkably, Zionist parasitic opportunists like Pamela Geller are trying to capitalise on this tragedy and deflect from the fact Lubitz is undoubtedly a Jewish surname, by preposterously claiming the man was driven by Islam. They’ve even created fake Facebook fan pages (with 1-2 likes) complete with Islamic writing to con gullible Tea Party types into believing their lies."

    Of course, what they both lack is evidence. But they both share a common hatred - "lib'ruls". They have plenty in common, besides lunacy.

    So the co pilot was a Jew then, guess that explains why they've been at pains to not disclose his religion.

    I disregarded the Jihadi rumors after reports of the voice recorder had him silent and breathing normally. Have you ever heard of a Jihadi NOT screaming Allah Hu Akbar right before they die?

    Cant you guys just shut the fuck up about Jews and Muslims .
    Maybe its beyond your comprehension , but it could be possible that this story is NOT region related .
    This could possibly be a unique story that doesnt involve either Jews or Muslims

    Most experts in the aviation industry have been writing that Malaysian 370 was most likely a pilot suicide, so Germanwings may already be a copycat nutter.
    The National Geographic air disaster show made well before this latest crash ends with a scenario of the Captain locking the co-pilot out, and is identical to what happened in Germanwings.
