Authorities are saying it appears that the pilot deliberately crashed the aircraft.

What is that all about ?

Pilot locked out and plane deliberately dived into mountains by co-pilot!

Wow those poor people must have gone though 8 minutes of pure terror as they tried in vain to open the cockpit door.

Tragedy of the highest order.

Yes I suppose if it were terrorism the plane would have been crashed into an urban area. Thankful for small mercies.

Not sure what to think on this to be honest, its truly shocking news and feel awful for the passengers.

Although they would of gone through the worst emotions imaginable they would not of known a thing about impact it would of been instant.

Hopefully they will get to the bottom of this and bring some closure for the relatives

This also happened a few years back. A Japanese pilot got himself into severe debt thought gambling. He locked his co-pilot out, disconnected the black boxes and nose dived into a lake. The investigators took ages to figure it out as they put all their efforts into mechanical thinking it impossible that a pilot could do such a thing.

Sheer utter cowardice. And correct it's not suicide, it is mass murder.

You can hack a plane today! Putting that software in makes no difference whatsoever.

Fly by wire basically means all the components the pilot uses just go to a computer that then moves whatever flap as the joystick indicated etc etc.

The plane in reality is being flown by the computer all the time.

Who knows its early days in the investigations and we don't really know what his mental state it but what we do know is the are 100's of people who won't see their loved ones come home alive. Including the co-pilots family they will have to forever live with the fact that their son did this and I feel for them.

They think that is impossible, given the actions. He needed to make several turns of controls to send the plane into a steady downward trajectory, apparently, as well as consciously locking the door and overriding the pilot's repeated attempts to gain access to the cockpit

No one is jumping to conclusions. The experts say the plane couldn't make some of the moves it made without being done manually. The co pilot locked the pilot out. The intercom recordings have been listened to and the pilot is desperately trying to get back in the cockpit. The recordings show that the co pilot was breathing normally right up until impact.

They were also quick to say the co pilot was alone in the cockpit, ruling out being forced or the plane being taken over by a terrorist/madman.

Before they knew the suspected outcome of this, the parents of the co pilot were travelling with the victims families.

But why shouldn't they? They are still parents of a victim of the crash. Even if the guy did do it on purpose, his parents aren't to blame.

Approximately in 4 people suffer from mental health issues. Just because someone suffers with depression doesn't mean that they will commit suicide and certainly not in such horrific circumstances. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation?

"WTF what was he thinking...fair enough kill yourself by all means if you feel that you can't carry on but to kill a plane load of people as well is just wrong.

But if he was feeling suicidal will he have rational thoughts?

Like I said above I can't give you an answer as his mental health status If any is undisclosed who knows what the fuck went on.

I didn't ask you his mental health history as that would have been stupid as you don't know him....I was asking as a general question"

Every person who commits suicide has a different level of rationality some are fully aware of their actions and intent when carrying out the act and do think rationally to a point.

"Media going mad overhere as sure they must be everywhere and at this moment the common theme is that the co-pilot appeared to have deliberately locked out the pilot.

German tv says he has suffered from depression for a few years! Why didn't the airline pick up on this ?? X

Approximately in 4 people suffer from mental health issues. Just because someone suffers with depression doesn't mean that they will commit suicide and certainly not in such horrific circumstances. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

And ruling certain professions out for those experiencing mental health issues can be seen as essential.

Common sense is a wonderful thing "

So what would be an acceptable level of depression for someone to be able to fly? And what other jobs should depressed people be banned from?

I repeat that depression does not eqaute to suicidal.

I'm not making excuses for the co-pilot but stigmatising all people with mental health issues with uninformed kneejerk comments doesn;t really help.

I used to listen to the tommy boyd show on talk radio and there was a pilot on there who was obviously d*unk and afterwards tommy said it was enough to put anyone off flying and he thought it was funny and made a joke about it and not long after I heard in the news that airline pilots suffered from stress and a lot were heavy drinkers also I met a pilot on another site who had been drinking when he met me and when he got to my house, which doesn't usualy happen as its in the daytime although he did come by taxi.

Stressful jobs lead to mental health issues and I reckon drinking slightly more than average is par for the course!

There's a great big jump to flying your plane into a mountain though!

Also rational thinking yeah I'm thinking rationally now coz I'm thinking about watching corrie or going into my shed and having a cigar and a glass of wine while fucking around with homemade diesel .. That's naughty i know

Now if I was thinking about going out into my shed and setting with my glass of wine and setting off my homemade nuclear bomb... That's irrational.

Ones an act of a brain that's had some outside influence of alcohol.

Ones the act of a brain that's gone dollally and is no longer thinking rationally.

Ps it's also why they don't let people build nuclear bombs in their shed

Well there we go....conclusive proof!! One pilot on some random show and a guy who perhaps needed a bit of Dutch courage to fuck someone!

It's sad, I feel for the families of all those involved

Rational suicide seems to be in the news too with the Clark Carlyle story too, and I don't understand the rationale of harming so many others (if suicide was the case) in order to end their own life. The reason given seems to be that the sufferers seem to think that it would be better for everyone if they were not alive. There must be a thought process in that decision making, i don't think it's an impulsive call. At the end of it all one person's thinking has killed many and hurt a lot more, it's very sad.

I think rational suicide is more like people going to dignitas in Switzerland with terminal illnesses.

I guess there's some rationality to it.

Flying your plane and passengers into a mountain is irrational in my rational thinking mind, which means to me the guy was obviously nuts!

Rational enough to wait until the cockpit was empty, switch the temporary cabin door lock on. Appear normal enough to fool his work colleagues that he was fine.

If this pilot had left before or after when he did this person would have guided the plane into

A town ?

A village ?

A city ?

Or maybe a field ?

The mountain just happened to be the point that he could carry this act out.

He waited to kill... This was some irrational act

I'm convinced if the pilot had not left him alone during this flight, he would have waited for another day, and its entirely possible he did just that.

I'm struggling to understand this, this irrational person didn't make one mistake during his act, he had it all covered, for me it comes across as though he had rehearsed this in his mind.

Whether it was rational not rational it still doesn't make the event right. I doubt anyone could of foreseen this or changed the course of events but 149 people died at the hands of someone who was in a trusted position to help fly the plane.

There are still unanswered questions regarding the reasons behind the co-pilot's break from flying, his relatively low number of flying hours and of course, if this could have been prevented. In Germany, many people seem to believe that this could not have been prevented once the co-pilot was behind the controls - as people said above, if not on this occasion the co-pilot would have found another opportunity .

What may remain unsolved are the genuine reasons behind the action. We may learn of undiagnosed (or extremely well covered) mental health issues, we may hear that he was a true psychopath with no empathy for others, we may hear variations on a theme.

What really went on in his head as he heard the pilot was trying to break down the door, when he heard screaming people who realised the imminent disaster, we will never know.

I do feel for everybody, including the co-pilot's parents.

A psychopath won't kill themselves: they value themselves too highly. More likely a severe depression causing an act like this where self destruction is of paramount importance, possibly combined with a _iew that the others are better off not living in such a terrible world

I agree with the latter part of your statement re the belief about being better off not being in this world can be a reason for such acts - although of course, we don 't know. It seems that everybody who knew him has nothing but positive things to say about him and his love for flying.

I'm sure they will delve deeply into his whole life: the truth may be hidden in the break he had from flying. Let's hope they get to the bottom of it
