He wanted to go down in spectacular fashion and be remembered
Airbus crash pilot Andreas Lubitz had been planning a spectacular gesture to make everyone "remember" who he was, it was claimed on Friday night.

An ex-girlfriend of the Germanwings pilot who crashed his plane in the French Alps, killing all 149 others on board, described him as "tormented" and able to hide secrets.

Maria, 26 (not her real name), told Bild newspaper that when she heard about the crash she remembered that he had said he was going do something "that would change the system" and "make everyone remember" him.

She added: "It didn't make sense at the time but now it all does."

Maria, who is thought to have met Lubitz at work, said he would wake up at night screaming in terror: "We're going down."

     Airbus - again. - (mmoffitt) - (71)
         It was an old plane -- 24 yo. - (a6l6e6x) - (3)
             That's not old. My airplane is 55 years old! -NT - (mmoffitt) - (2)
                 Yeah, but you don't go up to 40 K feet. - (a6l6e6x) - (1)
                     Well, if you're going to pick nits. ;0) - (mmoffitt)
         And Boeings never crash? - (pwhysall) - (36)
             Sure, but for fatal crashes Airbus wins! - (mmoffitt) - (35)
                 Mein Gott - (malraux)
                 What a massive margin of victory - (pwhysall) - (33)
                     Give Airbus a few more years, it'll be larger. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (32)
                         Will it double? - (pwhysall) - (31)
                             Will it matter? - (mmoffitt) - (30)
                                 Two. Millionths. Of. A. Percent. - (pwhysall) - (29)
                                     before or after you mined a nostril? -NT - (boxley) - (28)
                                         FOUR millionths of a percent! -NT - (pwhysall) - (27)
                                             thats not much of a booger :-) -NT - (boxley)
                                             Numbers-porn; you're usually not so easily deflected to the simplistic ploy. - (Ashton) - (25)
                                                 Hardware can't guarantee that one knows what the other is doing. - (Another Scott) - (14)
                                                     especially when one pilot is locked out the cockpit and the other has no response -NT - (boxley)
                                                     Coupled controls *do* help, though. - (mmoffitt) - (6)
                                                         [citation needed] - (pwhysall) - (5)
                                                             Read with comprehension much? - (mmoffitt) - (4)
                                                                 Just answer the question. - (pwhysall) - (3)
                                                                     Okay. I'll play. - (mmoffitt) - (2)
                                                                         Assertion. - (pwhysall) - (1)
                                                                             You brought up a question *I* did NOT make a comment about. -NT - (mmoffitt)
                                                     'The side stick vs yoke issue is red herring, IMO.' [Fail] - (Ashton) - (5)
                                                         Flying - no. - (Another Scott) - (4)
                                                             And doing that makes *all* the planes safer -NT - (drook)
                                                             Nobody's ever claimed that! - (mmoffitt) - (2)
                                                                 You did read the rest of my post, right? - (Another Scott) - (1)
                                                                     So coupling the controls was too expensive? - (mmoffitt)
                                                 Appealing to facts not in evidence - (pwhysall) - (9)
                                                     You're in-lurve with modrin TLAs like "CRM"--as if That 'cooks the rice' - (Ashton) - (8)
                                                         Thought experiment - (drook) - (2)
                                                             Excellent point; shall need some pondering.. - (Ashton) - (1)
                                                                 Look at the latest research on self-driving cars - (drook)
                                                         OH NOES A MODERN TLA! IT MUST BE SHIT AND RUBBISH - (pwhysall) - (3)
                                                             Yep, two Boeings wrecked by a European. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1)
                                                                 And this is why you fail. -NT - (pwhysall)
                                                             (The CRM idea isn't bollocks, of course) But as a deflection of this issue: - (Ashton)
                                                         Dupe - (pwhysall)
         Horrible image. - (mmoffitt)
         Pilot error indeed - (malraux) - (28)
             Guess he couldn't live with the fact he wasn't flying a Boeing -NT - (drook) - (26)
                 Errg. - (Another Scott) - (25)
                     an assumption is being made that he was unwilling to open he door, he may have been incapacitated -NT - (boxley) - (14)
                         The autopilot was set to an altitude of 100ft while the pilot was out. -NT - (malraux) - (1)
                             Re: The autopilot was set to an altitude of 100ft while the pilot was out. - (Nightowl)
                         That's possible, but unlikely here imo. - (mmoffitt) - (11)
                             from the latest news it appears that it was deliberate -NT - (boxley) - (10)
                                 Re: from the latest news it appears that it was deliberate - (Nightowl) - (9)
                                     I don't know how Europe does it. - (mmoffitt) - (8)
                                         His response was definitely career ending. -NT - (malraux) - (3)
                                             And an affirmation of the physician's finding. -NT - (mmoffitt)
                                             He wanted to go down in spectacular fashion and be remembered - (Nightowl)
                                             Ignore...dupe post. Sorry. -NT - (Nightowl)
                                         Doesn't matter much - (scoenye) - (3)
                                             Excellent points. - (Another Scott) - (1)
                                                 Share your unrealistic hopes.. because one. must. - (Ashton)
                                             Flying amortization -vs- Student Loans - (Ashton)
                     Could be you win the thread - (rcareaga) - (9)
                         That and being deemed unfit to fly. - (Nightowl)
                         There are more differences between how the Europeans do it and we than I realized. - (mmoffitt) - (7)
                             blame it on the nazis - (crazy) - (1)
                                 That's a tough one -NT - (drook)
                             NYT sez that.. some slack is cut though, even here. - (Ashton)
                             Zero tolerance is superficially appealing... - (pwhysall) - (3)
                                 This. - (Another Scott) - (2)
                                     Alternates for pilots? - (Ashton) - (1)
                                         Well said. People do need alternatives rather than being kicked to the curb... -NT - (Another Scott)
             Eerie earlier crash. - (Another Scott)

I've never been so insulted in all my week!
