CB Fry Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 Not necessarily. Plenty of terrorist organisations don't claim responsibility and like to keep us guessing. Do you have any examples of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 Not necessarily. Plenty of terrorist organisations don't claim responsibility and like to keep us guessing. Still not much of a real terrorist action though is it, action of a whacko yes but there are better things to do with an A320 than just piledrive it into the Alps, if you're going to do it for some weird cause or other then do it well. The lack of any evident motive tells us that it was not a classic premeditated terrorist action. As I said earlier, Lyon, Turin and Marseille were at hand. Just a seriously deranged person no doubt.

Odd state of mind mind that thinks its okay to kill 150 people but draws the line at crashing into Marseille though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that he didn't think at all, which is why I said it's not really the action of a motivated terrorist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 yeah imagine what he could have done if he was really going for it! I am still troubled by that fleeting report that jets were overhead, about 180k from Orange to the crash zone, what about 12 minutes for a Mirage at Mach 1, now I don't want to get all Pap about this but did the French know what was going down? At what height would a satellite phone function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 Do you have any examples of this? You know as well as I do that not all terrorist organisations fess up to all attacks. It makes things harder for the investigators for a start. I really don't have time to find examples just to satisfy you and if you don't agree we shall just have to agree to differ.

Plastic Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 This is so horrible. I was listening to the reports on the radio on my way home. Kill yourself if you like, but don't take others with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 Do you have any examples of this? Just hypothetically but if say they wanted to use the same modus operandi for future attacks or maybe have been using it in past attacks it would surely make sense not to make known this differing approach to terrorism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 27 March, 2015 Share Posted 27 March, 2015 Suspect the bloke suffered from a long-standing mental illness, had a chronic fit of depressive psychosis and his head went. Literally stopped caring about anything and everything in life in an instant. Like turning into a robot with someone else at the controls, and the concept of rational thought disappearing entirely. The mistake he made was thinking he could handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Posted 27 March, 2015 Share Posted 27 March, 2015 Bin Laden never confessed to being behind 9/11 as far as I know. He did, at least twice, in December 2001 and October 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 28 March, 2015 Share Posted 28 March, 2015 Spoke to a conspiracy theorist enthusiast in the pub last night who says that that he may have been brainwashed! It appears that he had a major depressive period earlier in his training. Was later cleared as fit to fly. Clearly not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 5 April, 2015 Share Posted 5 April, 2015 Mental health experts say that it was aggression — not just depression — that would have driven 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz to deliberately crash a Germanwings airliner into a mountainside, the copilot breathing evenly as passengers screamed and the plane's frantic captain pounded helplessly on the cockpit door. Unless investigators recognize the toxic role of aggression and hostility in some patients' depression, they say, such troubled individuals will continue to elude detection — to the public's peril. We need to stop talking as if this was a suicidal guy.... This was a murderous guy who probably had elements of a mood disorder and personality disorders. - Dr. Jeff Victoroff, neuropsychiatrist at USC's Keck School of Medicine Lubitz's history of depression, acknowledged by his employer in the days after the March 24 crash of the Airbus A320 with 150 people aboard, left many mental health professionals in the United States openly skeptical that Lubitz's psychological troubles stopped there. In the parade of garden-variety depressives they see, psychiatrists and psychologists often hear about the physical symptoms of mental distress: sleep problems, stomachaches, even changes in vision. They routinely see sadness, guilt and hostility. http://www.latimes.com/world/europe/la-fg-pilot-depression-20150405-story.html#page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
