    Yeah, sure, the knee jerks.

    I'm sure the Germans will dig deeply into his b/g, friends, colleagues, internet browsing, cellphone contacts, etc. We'll see if this is terrorism, Muslim or not. And of course the NSA has all the guy's data.
    Are you claiming it never crossed your mind that the pilot may be Muslim?

    Dude apparently didn't say a word while locked up and until impact... blackbox says he was breathing normally, wouldn't respond to the commander trying to get in.

    Sounds like murder-suicide, tbh...

    what crosses my mind is my business.

    The Germans do have terrorist problems so I'm sure to be a pilot, the b/g checks are thorough, ongoing.

    My guess is the guy had a really, really bad setback, or was gay and somebody was threatening to out him. There's plenty of info now out there on the guy, and much more to come.

    The only possible FLAG was that he was on the quiet side, DISAFFECTED SICKO LONER ALERT!, but seemed to have plenty of friends.

    That's fine, just don't call it a knee jerk reaction when other people's first thoughts are whether or not the pilot was Muslim. I'd be shocked to hear that wasn't someone's first thought.

    it seems weird that they can be so sure about his breathing . Microphones usually don't pick up the sound of normal breathing which is essentially silent. Not arguing, just observing.

    $100M plane dependent on its most unreliable component.

    These planes can open the pit door from outside with a security code in case somebody is alone in the cabin and is sick, etc. But the door won't open for 30 secs and the person inside the cabin can push a "Block" button to prevent the door from opening. Which is probably what this guy did, repeatedly. There's no question he was alive, breathing and knew what he was doing.

    That's why in the US there's a regulation that if one of the two pilots leave the cabin, one of the crew has to go in the cabin, so there's always two people inside. But it's apparently different in Europe.

    But it is reasonable to wonder if something that looks like terrorism was done by Muslim terrorists.
    Looks more like an act of some crazy dude rather than "terrorism".

    If it was organized terrorism, one of the major groups would have claimed responsibility by now.

    In 1995 I was a foreign exchange student in Geisenheim, Germany, which is 65 miles south of Montabaur, where the co-pilot that deliberately crashed the plane was born and raised. One day we took a river boat cruise up the Rhein to Koblenz, which is a mere 16 miles away from Montabaur. If only I had traveled to Montabaur and strangled 7 year old Andreas Lubitz to death, I could've prevented this terrible tragedy.

    Several airlines (Air Berlin, Easyjet, Norwegian Air Shuttle and Icelandair) already changed their rules today. Lufthansa to follow...

    About terrorist speculation: German authorities already checked the pilots background - even before the voice recorder analysis came out - nothing was found. And the psychological tests/checks during pilot training are of the hardest worldwide! So it seems the was somewhat spontaneous...

    also, if it was organized terrorism and their pilot had control of the plane, I would think he'd try to crash into some area more populated.

    Just because Roberston is a head doesn't mean it's not a reasonable question to ask.
    If someone said it could have been a Christian that brought down the plane he would have been furious about it. He said it like every Muslin is obviously a terrorist. 1.5 billion people who are Muslim aren't terrorists. a few dumb-asses with radical interpretations of their religion shouldn't automatically turn every one of them in to terrorist. Thats just stupid.

    He didn't differentiate he just said Muslim. Muslin terrorist or radical Muslim have a different meaning in my opinion, at least,. He made it sound like every Muslin was associated with terrorism.

    since he isn't a muslin, this isn't considered a terrorist attack

    See Waco...

    Right-wing Chistian Nutjobs, sounds familiar.
