I'd like to know why he did it.

Extremism or mental illness. In either case we will never know the real reason he did it. . .

I'm thinking mental illness, perhaps.  If it were some sort of extremism, it kind of defeats the purpose not to let people know why you did what you did.  You would also think that some group would have claimed responsibility for it by now if it were related to any of them.

Religious extremism takes many forms, and this guy may have been one of those "lone wolves" that supported one of those groups from afar.

Moreover, they likely have not dug into his life very far at all as of yet. . . Who knows what they will find when they do?

True.

They didn't know until this morning that he did it on purpose.  I guess time will tell.

I just saw a news piece that showed authorities confiscating his computers and other items, as well as boxes of personal items today.

Within a week we will know if there were others involved and/or if he was sick.

(CNN)Latest developments:

• 5:32 p.m. ET: Transponder data shows that the autopilot on Germanwings Flight 9525 was reprogrammed by someone in the cockpit to change the plane's altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data.

How would transponder data show that the autopilot was reprogrammed?  The flight data recorder would know that, but I didn't think they had that yet.

From what I gather from the news, the authorities knew far more about what was going on and had happened than they let on.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

Apparently it seems the co-pilot was indeed sick and had been undergoing treatment for quite some time, and the doctor(s) had written notes indicating he was unfit for duty; all of which he never turned over to his employer nor informed them of. . .

They're not saying what the "condition" or "Malady" was, but the media is insinuating it was likely severe depression. . .

I can't stand these motherfuckers who want to kill themselves, but just have the need to take others - in this case a lot of them - with them when they go.  :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah. They're the scum of the earth. Suicide is a selfish act, but mass murder in the process of it is well beyond that!  :mad:

They have found over 400 body parts, but nobody intact. . .  :mad:

Yep.  That's gonna' happen on a high speed impact like that.  Stardust doesn't hold up too well under those conditions.
