Wow, this is f*cked up. Reports say the German plane out of Barcelona that crashed.

Apparently the co-pilot suspect had a good record and no terror ties.

If it were terror-related, I think the co-pilot would want it to be known. The modus operandi for these animals is to kill for their cause. They always want credit and publicity.

Maybe or maybe not. It's still too early to dismiss outside influences and such.

True point. I don't dismiss anything like this. They usually like to go out in a "blaze of glory though." Sick twists.

That they decide to kill themselves and in the process take out 150 complete strangers with them? Basically the same as a suicide bomber

Apparently sick enough to take a six month break from flight training due to psychological problems.

So it was just a matter of time anyway.

Now it's looking like the co-pilot had some sort of medical issue and tore up a work excuse he had been given.

Not even a work excuse. It said, "unfit to work" and it was dated the day of the crash and in his waste basket.

so, depression and flying.
