The terrorists announced several years ago that they were looking specifically for believers in their religion who were of Western origin, who looked, acted, and talked like citizens of Western countries.
This guy was just nuts.
An Air Force A-10 pilot was depressed and despondent over his girlfriend back 20 years ago so he went on a little ride from Davis-Monthan to Colorado where he ran the plane into a nice ridge.
He finally got the attention he wanted. Nice spectacular demise.
That’s what this kid did too.
Poached from a comment here at FR:
Translation from PINews hat tip: FreeRepublic
The West German politicians knew from the beginning that this was not a technical defect , but a deliberately induced guided suicide (for whatever reason) . Because otherwise is not to explain why France has chased 3 interceptor behind the Boeing . They had scared of an attack on a nuclear power plant. Merkel and FRG leaders went on the Ars.h Grundeis that this was an Islamic attack , so the comic reactions of Merkel and FRG politicians . The political elite BRD was in total panic , and was afraid of the consequences !!! Now it will continue as before , Islam = peace , Islam is part of Germany , the Islamization does not occur. But I did not stop an Islam do not rule out anyway, now more than ever! I believe that nothing more !
7 nuclear facilities within a few minutes of flight
Compare with
Fighter jets were scrambled to keep the nuclear plants safe from a plane that did NOT respond to Marseille ATC.

No link, but also read a comment suggesting the pilot did NOT leave the cockpit once from the flight inbound to Barcelona-El Prat. Can't find any information on the crew/plane prior to boarding for GermanWings 9525 Barcelona-El Prat.
