Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I expected to find something like this caused the recent plane crash. Sounds like terrorism. I waiting for the information about his motives at this point. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32063587 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I expected to find something like this caused the recent plane crash. Sounds like terrorism. I waiting for the information about his motives at this point. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32063587 I seem to recall a heartwarming story, from a few days ago of a pilot of an Air Alaskan flight abandoning the cockpit to propose to his flight attendant girlfriend in the cabin. I suspect the FAA will not allow stuff like that to go on, given what may have happened on the flight that crashed into the Alps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) You have the let the pilot leave to go to the bathroom. It appears universal background checks need to be performed on flight crew members. Currently they are killing many more people than legal gun owners.

Merlot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 10-4 on the bathroom break, but maybe a highly skilled, severely background checked sky marshal to sit in the cockpit while a pilot takes a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Maybe a good idea, but the ones on the flights are supposed to be under cover. It would blow their cover to enter the cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 good point VJP on the undercover aspect. Tough situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 We may see an armed guard at every cockpit door soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 can't wait for our flight to Florida in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would blow their cover to enter the cockpit. A male attendant could do the baby sitting. Edited March 26, 2015 by Papist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Did any of you consider he wasn't a terrorist? That he may have been a victim?...did he have family...was there people that he loved and had used against him...think about it wife couple of babies...what would you do to save your family...scary isn't it?

Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I considered it, but until more info comes out, I'm not even assuming it was terrorism. But if he was forced to do it by terrorists, it's still terrorism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I don't think it was terrorism. He made no political statement, knowing his conversation was being recorded, and he could have waited to hit any number of major cities on the planned route. I think this was murder suicide.

Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Why the need to kill innocents when taken your own life though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Why the need to kill innocents when taken your own life though? My guess is that he was taking the same psychotropic drugs for depression that pretty much every school shooter to-date was also taking. It effects people in ways we cannot comprehend and that make little sense in terms of the violent actions they often under-take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I would hope he would have been taken out of the cockpit if that be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogaard Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Why the need to kill innocents when taken your own life though? Because some people are just crazy. This is not the first time something like this has happened, unfortunately. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/26/pilots-crashing-on-purpose_n_6948448.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I would hope he would have been taken out of the cockpit if that be the case. You would be surprised at the rate of depression in society today, and how many people are operating in a psychotropic haze. It is endemic.

Mr VJP Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I guess this is proof a person doesn't need an "assault rifle" to kill lots of people if they want to. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Field_Ager Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) New development here. Still somewhat speculative, but I guess this will be confirmed or not as the investigation continues. If it is true, we can except a serious German crack-down given the anti-Islamic sentiment there in recent times. The co-pilot of the Germanwings Airbus was a convert to Islam According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz. Translation from German:All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of "radical", ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder. As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he - as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York - received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.Converts are the most important weapon of Islam. Because their resume do not suggests that they often are particularly violent Muslims. Thus Germany now has its own 9/11, but in a reduced form http://speisa.com/modules/articles/index.php/item.1086/the-co-pilot-of-the-germanwings-airbus-was-a-convert-to-islam.html Edited March 27, 2015 by Papist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
