• CNN: Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz declared unfit to work, officials say

  "Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was hiding an illness from his employers and had been declared unfit to work by a doctor, according to German authorities investigating what could have prompted the seemingly competent and stable pilot to steer his jetliner into a French mountain.

  Investigators found a letter saying that Lubitz, 27, wasn't fit to do his job in the waste bin of his Dusseldorf, Germany, apartment, city prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said Friday. The note, Kumpa said, had been "slashed."

That report wasn’t “based” on a radical mosque being in Bremen, it cited one of his friends. Problem was, it did not name the friend, the friend’s relationship to him, or who spoke to the friend and reported that information, so until there’s something better than that there is no reason to assume anything yet; it could be made up.

A second unrelated report on the radical mosque was just mentioned on the thread in conjunction with that original one but it was noted there was no connection known; there is more than one mosque in the area in any case and if he was a convert it is certainly not known which he may have attended.

Another person on said thread mentioned hearing a French official say he was a recent convert to sufi islam but that freeper may be full of it.

Another person claims the girlfriend is muslim.

And another person says all he heard was the girlfriend was from another country.

So, nothing solid at all on his religion, if any. But nothing disputing the allegation either, such as confirmation that he is some other religion and therefore not a muslim convert. Of course these days there’s a lot of Europeans with no religious affiliation.

The only solid fact concerning possible motives is the torn up doctor’s report.

Some people just want to go out in a bang.....the creep ‘murdered’ 150 or so people. He had other options if he really wanted to leave this world. He's a murderer...and he knew exactly what he was doing.

I'm so tired of attorneys and medical people always looking for a reason people do what they do. The guy did this deliberately and it's just too hard for people to wrap their heads around... so finding some “other” reason that he was an outright murderer helps them to grasp what they cannot otherwise.

No matter what "motive" they "excuse" his actions with....the truth is he had this planned and carried it out....and I don't care what his background is...he's a murderer.

They need to bring back flight engineers. At least if they had one, he could have bopped the co-pilot and took over until the pilot came back in or he could let him in.

Lie.

I keep seeing “Comments” at MSM news websites that the pilot was a recent convert to Islam. One of the Comments specifically referenced the pilot's Facebook page.

That FACEBOOK page was a FAN page, not the (co)pilot's facebook page.

It fooled me at first, until someone brought my attention to the fact.

Maybe the mental illness he had was islam.
