Well, maybe, but still you cause some problems for the living humans even without crashing a plane full of people. Take the usual example of jumping in front of a train: First you create not a minor but a huge inconvenience for the passengers commuting to whatever place they need to be. Secondly you create a horrible psychological trauma for the train driver which, if the person driving the train is an average decent human being, this person will feel a lot of psychological distress just thinking about it. Although what happened here is a lot more terrible, still suicide can affect other people in harmful ways...
What load crap he intended to do exactly what he did KILLING everyone on board!!! Like a high before you die for psycho!! Drs had concerns worries rightfully so.there are specific clauses drs, mental health have to.IF Patient is talking suicide threatening suicide, threatening harm to others they obligated to report it!! Especially if your pilot, cop even dr for God sake!! USA no dam different idiot's always got take tragedy make it political bs!! It was news story in USA pilot suicides on rise wtf..how sure is anyone about all airplane tragedies huh??? There not accidental in foreign countries when passenger planes shot down are they! We had 9/11 they trained in USA ffs!! Call it whatever this azzhat was terrorist premeditated murderer suicide psycho. People KILLING children husband kills wife n children, mom kills baby thank God no one claims live in the perfect world right now 2020 it's hell on earth!!
Imagine the despair of looking to your side window and watching the Alps getting closer while the captain, locked outside, violently tries try breach into the cockpit. This is too much.
I can't believe the press called this a suicide. This was a mass murder. The co-pilot's depression and mental state was debated over and over again but what wasn't talked about was his unbelievable hatred and desire to kill 150 innocent victims. That's what drove this man...not his depression and a desire to kill himself. If he wanted to off himself, there were plenty of other ways to do it without harming others. His first and primary motivation was murder on a mass scale. I hope he's burning in Hell!
I could not agree more, if he was suicidal then take your own life. Rent a small plane and fly it into a mountain if need be. Taking 149 innocent lives with you is mass murder, what a narcissistic psycopathic asshole. My death will be remembered, everyone will feel my pain, what a miserable piece of shit !
I think you can see it both ways. A person that tries to commit suicide don't care about others in this moment. For example, they don't think about the relatives that they leave behind and are suffering through this act. I don't think, that he gained any pleasure out of taking the souls on board with him; in his mind it was just him and his reasons caused by the depressions and just wanted to go out with a bang.
Crazy to think he was probably at the aircraft door welcoming passengers onto the plane, seeing all the children board and he still did it. Pure evil at it's worse
@Attempt suicide Suicide is not the solution to anything. enjoy this beautiful gift of life. Worlds is now recovering and nothing but Happy days are ahead.
there were tons of german students on that plane going for a class vacation before their final exams just imagine going back to school an realizing half of your class mates are dead
Truth what are you even talking about? My point was what a weird situation it would be to loose tons of people you used to know from one day to another
Imagine the fear that the captain would have felt as he realized there was nothing he could do to stop this from happening. Its so scary to think about
Not just the captain. If you were a passenger on the plane watching this play out, you know EXACTLY what is happening. The plane is getting low and lower, the captain is unable to enter the cockpit. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or neurosurgeon to figure this out.
@@jamesp9226 people in the back of the plane didn't have much going on, they don't know. Because they are separated by about 30-40 feet of first class that is separated from coach section... First class seen it first hand. People sitting by the wings and more back were confused .
@@dylansterio3227 because airlines started first class in the 80's . This was 2015. They make half their money selling first class tickets . An air line would be a complete fool to build a plane and have all seats be "economy" . Not only they are not making as much money per flight, they are also losing long term flyers, business people, wealthy people, etc.
@@thomasnoctor3602 i mean he knew he was killing over 100 people, but he didn't crash the plane for that. he crashed the plane to kill himself he probably didnt want do kill them
@@maximbalmos4908 There's a picture of him sitting on the Golden Gate Bridge on his social media account..........Ample opportunity or wait until he gets home. He's a mass murderer.
Depression brings a pessimistic, nihilistic perspective over one's life or life in general. It isn't by itself characterized by the intention to do massive harm to others. This guy planned it out and didn't abandon his plan while greeting people entering the plane and talking to the captain for half the flight. He was devoid of empathy and respect for anyone's life, including his own.
@@MAX-tw3qz I don't know what his situation was, but it cannot have been just depression, because depression doesn't make somebody plan a massacre. He must have had other problems that deleted his empathy. That's my point.
This is the type of guy you spit on their grave. The fact he decided to take others with him make any sympathy of him being depressed and suicidal null and void.
@@aceclover758 People that commit suicide have spent time in depression which is another self-centered place There are different types of depression, so we don't know what he was suffering from. I am not saying depressed people realize how self-centered they have become but most of their day is filled with thoughts of feeling sad and things that brought it on. I am sure you know how they struggle every day just to function in their daily living. But it still remains every day is about them. Most will seek help and with therapy, they can live a normal life. I have never heard of anyone being so selfish as this guy. That's not to say, other people that have taken other people out when they kill them self because they do but nothing like this. He's a mass murderer in my book.
To me this is the most disturbing aviation crash. Being there and watching the captain become increasingly frantic and desperate as he realizes they’re descending at an alarming speed is the most harrowing situation I can imagine. It’s a scene that gives me chills.
@@mohdshahrilsalleh3657 the captain first tried to get into the cabin at 10:34 but it was locked. The plane crashed into the mountain at 10:41. Seven minutes.
Imagine seeing the captain of your airplane, smashing an ax at the cockpit door while yelling to be let in?! Just horrific. May all the innocent souls rest in peace.💗🌹
You can be sure he would've attacked that fucker with the axe if he had to to save the passengers. I know for sure If I was captain and I gained entry, that person has just forfeit their right to life for even attempting this.
@@lukej452 Yeah, that's not something the other pilot was afraid of, since he had planned to kill himself and everyone else on board anyway. His co-worker threatening him with an ax would've been nothing. Would've been nice if that had been possible, though, so that the pilot could kill or knock out his co-pilot and save himself and everyone else.
Imagine looking out of the Windows after watching your pilot failing to regain entry into the cockpit.. I can only imagine the terror of seeing your plan heading towards a mountain and there's nothing you can do about it 😞 The world can be beautiful but my goodness does it also have it's horrors too
Forget confidentiality. Anyone who suffers from these types of illnesses and holds a job that is in control of another person's life should be made clear to all authorities. That law of confidentiality killed them.
HIPAA needs to end, along with the IHDP (International Health Data Protection) laws in Europe. They have only been misused to cover up crimes (like this one here), obstructing parents from having proper oversight of their minor children's best welfare; and (at the other end of the spectrum) preventing family members from advocating for their elderly parents (and grandparents, etc.) who have been mentally incapacitated due to dementia and Alzheimers. We personally lived through the last scenario; and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
abj5791 this identical problem happens here with EVERY MASS SHOOTING they ALL ARE ON MEDICATION, but after the fact ,we find ‘doctor/patient confidentiality!!
Sorry - I get you're angry - but this is a terrible idea. Think of all the innocent vulnerable mentally ill people whose lives will be affected by everybody automatically assuming they're going to commit a mass murder or do something tragic. You can't trust everyone to act right with that information. The death toll would be even higher if you take those millions of people's privacy away. There's a reason confidentiality is cherished and you're not seeing the bigger picture trying to solve this individual case. These were his actions, not a symptom of illness.
I would imagine the panic he felt was like falling right into the middle of a pond filled with alligators. U know what's gonna happen to u and there's absolutely nothing u can do about it. Once that cockpit door was locked the captain had no chance. It's not the weak cockpit doors that were on planes pre 9/11. This was an act of sheer sociopathic cowardice by the copilot.
@@sebis888 yes you do idiot, the free democratic party. Almost Every civilized country has a democratic party put in place. And dont call Americans stupid when you are simply making that comment based on baseless stereotypes.
As soon as the Captain heard 'terrain' he knew it was over, he stood at that door listening to the warnings....and couldn't do a damn thing to save himself or the passengers.
I remember watching this on the news and bawling my eyes out. I was just the same age of those students on that plane, imagine the parents waiting for their kids to arrive home.
@@aafsterlife9647 Yeah, there were 16 students returning from a student exchange and two of their teachers, all from the same school. They had been chosen by chance to take part in the exchange since there weren't enough places for the number of students that had applied. There were also two babies, both with their respective parents, and a just married couple. These things help us realize that these people weren't just numbers.
@@m.o.5017 Horrible, horrible, horrible. We had a crash in Islamabad in 2010, that one in the hills too, which had a whole Model United Nations team on it... around 15 teenagers, if I remember correctly. All bright, exceptional kids with great futures ahead of them. Plane crashes are just traumatic at a level of their own, I think, but it hits particularly hard when you hear of the loss of young life.
That wouldn't have worked in the A320. As soon as it enters an overspeed condition it will automatically pitch up even if you have the stick all the way forward
Can you imagine being one of those passengers on that doomed flight as you're sitting in your seat planning your day's events, thinking about how great life is, sipping on your coffee, and looking forward to seeing your loved one after your flight lands, then suddenly, you notice the pilot trying to enter the cockpit, noticing things outside your window getting closer, then glancing at your pilot and seeing the fear in his eyes as he tries in vain to open the cockpit door as the ground gets closer and closer. You realize as unbelievable as it seems, everyone is seconds away from life as you once knew it, you're about to die in a very violent crash and there isn't a damn thing you or anyone can do. God that has got to be a sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach. You see the horrified looks on passengers faces, the screaming is probably deafening, the panic is immense and you know that it is going to hurt like hell for that first nanosecond as the plane hits the terrain at over 400mph. The sheer magnitude of it all, trying to understand what it must have been like to be one of those unfortunate passengers must have been absolute horror during their final moments.
"thinking about how great life is, sipping on your coffee, and looking forward to seeing your loved one after your flight lands" so you seem to agree with the dude.
Can you imagine being one of those passengers on that doomed flight as you're sitting in your seat planning your day's events, thinking about how great life is, sipping on your coffee, and then you begin to feel a sharp pain in your chest. A few minutes later you drop dead from a massive coronary. Death is Death. None of us have a promise that we going beyond tomorrow, yet we all seem to act like we do.
Mike Miller Believe me. Hell is not in any word a nice place. Anything done here in the physical realm to him is a baby's punch to what happens in the pits of Tartarus.
If there truly was a hell, and it was eternal, I wouldn’t wish it on ANYONE., not even Hitler and the like. What’s 80 years on earth compared to eternity? (I don’t believe in the afterlife)
@JOE SIX PACK Yes. It was discovered on the black box voice recorder that on their first leg that day he'd hinted to the pilot about going to the bathroom. Unfortunately, he got his wish on their second leg.
I heard they discovered that on a separate occasion he also practiced setting the altitude level to 100ft when the captain was out of the cockpit. Really tragic.
He did a wrong thing, but thats not how depression works. Not everyone is depressed, and if youve never been thru depression, you cant really talk. Depression is a serious mental illnes, and if he also had psychotic side in it, its very bad. When you cross the line that you are so depressed that all you want is to die, you dont understand, care and think about others. Its sad but thats how it works. He never should have been a active pilot with such a serious disorder.
Tera Baap no one should be treated so bad emotionally that they will get depressed. Its pretty rare to be so badly depressed that suicide is a option, but it still happens. Mental health unfortunaty is not taken as seriously as it should
Tera Baap competely wrong. Thats the biggest issue with dealing mental stuff. People think that depressed people choosed the disorder, or that they are thinking about it or such. People who are deeply depressed, dont infact think anything about the stuff they are dealing with. They are in so bad emotional pain, anxiety and such that its usually not in their control anymore. When you have crossed the line where you are at serious suicide risk, they need someone to take care of them. Mental institutes are there for a reason. Psychotic depression however, is far more worse than depression itself. Usually the person whos dealing with it, loses the control of whats real and whats not. I mean, they can still behave normally in public, and its hard for people to notice that, but inside the persons head, he can be in totally different world. Its hard to explain to someone who doesnt have the experience in dealing with people who has, or had such things.
@Tera Baap There is so much wrong with this. First of all, I do realize there are many people who seek attention when they suffer from self-diagnosed depression, and that they think everyone should feel bad for them and pity them. But when you're officially diagnosed, and been living with it for years and tried medicine, therapy, exercise, and nothing works, it's not for attention. Mental illness, especially in young adults and teens, is not taken seriously enough. It is a serious problem that leads to suicide, broken families, and broken relationships. Turning a blind eye to someone who is evidently suffering is cruel, because in the end, even if it wasn't real, at least you can say you cared enough to check and make sure they got help. Telling someone who has clinical depression to "toughen up" is so wrong, and so detrimental to their health. This is why people are afraid to talk about it and get help, because people like you seem to think it's a "phase" and they just don't want to be happy or some BS like that. Do some actual research and talk to people with moderate to severe depression and then tell me if it's just a phase. Tell me that they're just seeking attention. Tell me that they don't wish they had normal up and down days like other people. Tell me they don't want to be happy. Tell me they don't try to hide it if only to spare others from looking down on them and prevent themselves from being a burden. Sincerely, someone with a years-long battle with depression, who has tried almost every "trick" in the book and then some for some semblance or normalcy, who hides it from their friends and family because they don't want to be a burden. Edit: Also, telling them their problems don't exist is disgusting. When you have *actual* depression, a lot of times there is no reason to feel hopeless, and that's one of the most frustrating parts. You wish you knew, you wish there actually was something that you could fix. So when there isn't, it's crushing and makes you feel even worse for having depression, and it's a vicious cycle that oftentimes needs intervention to help break it. I can't even begin to say how much your comment disgusts me. As someone who has lost friends to suicide and almost lost a couple from their attempts, it makes me feel sorry for the ones who have to interact with you. I sincerely hope you never say things like this to people who are truly suffering from a debilitating mental illness.
This is actually one of the biggest tragedys of ur time. You board a plane giving ur live to the Pilots thinking they will fly safely to ur target. But not this time...
@@anitaadams2422 Think of all the flights that do land safely on a daily basis... you'll have faith in flying then. In events like these, it's about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, much like all other accidents.
I was actually skiing in the French Alps that week and remember in the bar that evening people were horrified and it put such a downer on things. I feel such anger that so many beautiful lives were destroyed for nothing!! And that pilot, a lovely young guy with two small children, hammering at the door for a futile ten minutes knowing he will be obliterrated it’s just unbearable!
The fact that you can't listen to these videos and have to pay attention to read them is brilliant. They draw you in so much and the tension is built masterfully.
Even if there's no bird strikes, no terrorist attacks, nothing wrong with the plane mechanics, nothing wrong with the weather, there's still a chance of human insanity. Life is tough!
That's what is making me not want to fly anymore. Most of these crashes were human caused at some point in the process: manufacturing, maintenance, pilots, highjackers. You can't sufficiently plan for that.
I will never forget that day, I was living in Spain. We were all just completely shocked when it was determined that the co-pilot (first officer) had deliberately crashed the aircraft. Onboard there were a huge number of high school students from one school, who were returning home from an exchange program in Spain. Those poor kids and all the other passengers and crew, the terror they must have experienced in those final minutes, knowing it was going to be the end of their lives. Such an evil act, it still haunts me.
He didnt want to do it, but he felt it, as once suicide is done, you could have comfort in the afterlife. Depression is a complex problem the changes the reality of a oneself. I give empathy for all. He isnt evil; he's just a man with a few screws loose
@@dariootero5579no, in this case, you cannot say this man wasn’t evil. Okay, he was depressed, and yes, those people deserve the help and empathy they need. Still, this man chose to take others, innocent people who did not chose death that day, into his grave. That is evil right there. This man is a murderer, a maniac, a psychopath. Not ‘just a few screws loose’. This man deserves no empathy.
@@aviationfreak4life95 oh please do You still don't understand? An act of killing deos not always mean the person is evil itself. I understand him as I felt deppressed too.
@@dariootero5579 So you choose the side of a murderer?? Murder is ALWAYS an active decision, depression is NO excuse. You're telling me all depressed people have the urge to kill people?? Are you delusional or just denying the facts. This man was evil, killing innocent children en women (and men of course), there are no excuses. The fact that you have sympathy for this man makes me question your empathy towards victims. Get it checked out man, that's no healthy behavior.
This must be an absolutely horrible experience... seeing the ground, the mountains, the roads getting smowly closer and closer... seeing how death is approaching and just waiting for the plane to collide with the mountain and die... you know you can’t do anything... you’re helpless, knowing in less than 10 minutes, you’ll will be dead, you won’t be here on earth anymore, everything you’ve known will be gone... Seeing others panicking too and waiting for their deaths...
Yeah it’s pretty sad. Even the captain tried his best to enter and save the plane. But it just wasn’t possible. And by the Time the passengers saw the mountains getting closer and closer they just felt helpless waiting to die. Just gives me chills thinking about that 😢
@@joegresh "Mental breakdown" in an aircraft with 150 people on board? Notice that when a 15yr old has a mental breakdown he breaks something, but no harm done. This is WAY different.
I’m struggling to get my head around the fact that the co-pilot had already tried to crash the plane on the previous leg. He should have been detained and relieved of his duties on landing in Barcelona.
By crashing the plane they mean his initial plan was to crash it on the DUS-BCN leg, however the captain never left the cockpit during that leg so he ended up doing it on the return, he didn't behave abnormally, he just tried to get the captain to go to the toilet
mrojas700 understood. Such a massive tragedy and completely unnecessary. I will never understand why suicidal pilots feel the need to take colleagues and passengers with them.😢
@@EricJ0hansson the "keys" should be number based. All kept on the hush, individual numbers per different ranks. Would require some hacking or talking for the numbers to ever get out. The captain would have admin key and always be able to do whatever he pleases with regards to entering the cockpit or cabin.
@uwais msnn That sounds like a lot of work to make it safe and practical, with all the different personnel for each flight etc. And finger print scanners can have a hard reading many peoples fingers. I've had a hard time using any. Many construction workers have a hard time using them, and so on. And I feel there needs to be an analogue solution too, otherwise if the power goes out the door can't be opened. At least not from the outside. And having keys, and especially "admin" keys for pilots, sounds like a very easy way for a hijacker to get in. Just get a hold of one and you're good to go. In short, I don't know what would be the best solution. I would think that a pilot locking the other one out to crash the plane is less likely than someone trying to hijack it. But having at least two people in the cockpit at all times feels like it would help.
His parents really pissed me off, I think on the first anniversary of this tragic crash, taking out a memorial notice in their German paper, with his picture, claiming he was a victim too. There isn't much that can stop us loving our children, it's part of being human, but another part of being human is to realise that sometimes one has to suffer one's own loss privately, if only to prevent further pain to the families of the true victims of the one we loved and lost, but who did something terrible and unforgivable.
PG trojka He wasn’t a terrorist. Not every mass murderer is a “terrorist”. A terrorist is doing their killing in service of a political or religious cause, for strategic reasons. This guy had no cause. He was just a psychopath who had his heart set on killing himself in a plane crash, and the 150 innocent souls on board with him were just tragically unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time- Onboard the plane he was going to use.
"since doctros in Germany could be prosecuted for breaking the first officer's confidentiality, they refused to talk to investigators" ! isn't it an absurd paradox!?!
Just shows how pathetic Germany have become "oooo cant hurt a murderers dead man's feelings!!" Grow a fucking spine and and stop pandering to psychotic murdering killers. To the People who passed that law should be locked up and accountable as well. Weasels.
This is so near to me. The majority of the passengers were people who lived a few kilometers away. We had two people transfer into our class because they lost their friends and could not go to school anymore. It still haunts me to remember the time when this happened. The whole city was shocked and everything was so weird.
@@андрейвасилюк-ф1ц i Will find the body, make him live again, put it in a multipla, with an boku no piko episode, this Will make him feel a pain greatest than hell (if it exist)
Jotaro Kujo You need to f*cking calm down. I’ve news for ya, you’re NOT achieving anything from insulting that psychopath. It’s too late now, he was suicidal and the doctors are guilty.
There was 16 schoolchildren and 2 teachers onboard. I was supposed to go to Barcelona on a school trip last year but it was cancelled due to covid so i felt uneasy to say the least while watching this
How could he possibly do that after seeing the children and baby on board. Was he hurting that much that he didn't even care to think about them? Just seems so unbelievably selfish.
Many suffer from depression, myself included over certain periods of my life. Suicide is one thing but to calmly kill all these people.....that is as evil as it gets
perhaps you are not also psychotic - the combination of depression and psychosis is lethal. Psychosis leads to delusional thinking ... and at times a lack of awareness of one's behaviour.
No. Many get depressed from time to time. Then there's us who suffer from depression 24/7/365. I've been on meds since I was in my 20's. I'm 57 now. There's a huge difference between suffering once in a while cuse you lost your job or your spouse left you and suffering from it everyday of your life.
Just because you share the same illness in name does not mean you share the same illness. Depression is different for everyone. What's important is that he wouldn't have done this without the mental issues he had. He didn't kill them because of hate but because of apathy
@@mach6893 Terrorism is politically motivated. There is no political message associated with this incident; it was just a murder-suicide. Thus it is not classified as terrorism.
This is the worst crash ever I have seen, involving the Airbus A320. The actions of Andreas Lubitz was not just commiting suicide, it was also mass murder as well. Those innocent people shall rest in peace.
Lubitz's parents were invited to the memorial ceremony held for the victims after the crash. To their credit, they declined to attend. I can only imagine how awkward that would have been for all.
I don’t feel any remorse, or sympathy for the co-pilot. What he did was pure evil. If you wanted to commit suicide find another way, to take innocent lives away. Yes, I understand he has a depression disease, seriously. My heart goes out to the captain, and the other lives on that plane. R.I.P. He has to answer to the Higher Power, if he’s their.
'if you wanted to commit suicide, find another way.' no. if someone wants to commit suicide, they deserve to know that there is a better way than ending it all. they deserve the right treatment, even if that requires drastic measures like banning them from their occupation in case they are too far gone and cannot think rationally on their own. I understand your lack of sympathy, though. this was inexcusable.
@variety addict there's a difference between depression and being a cold blood murderer. Putting every person with mental illness in a box saying they're all "prone to snap" is just plain ignorance, do you even read about said diseases? That's not how they work. Not every person with that is a bad person, do not associate them with those evil murderers, they're just trying to live normally. People who want to kill themselves won't kill others like this monster did, don't compare both. He could have had depression but on top of that, he was an evil person and chose to use it badly. Most clinically depressed people I know are all amazing people, they just have an illness, none of them are "bad" or "prone to snap". Read about medication and treatments too.
@@lan12121 I would never judge a person for committing suicide. Of course it would be better if they didn't choose to end their own life, but I understand that such intense emotional pain can become unbearable and if someone does take that route, I won't judge them. However, taking innocent people with them is something I will judge them for nine ways til Sunday. The only way I would not judge them is if they have fits in which they lose contact with reality or have a warped model of the world, like Andrea Yates did. And it doesn't sound like that was the case for this guy. I've had depression and at my lowest I remember casually thinking what if I don't get out of the way of this car that's coming towards me? In that case the car was going at a very low speed, because those streets were narrow, but I thought what if, and my immediate next thought was, no, I would be destroying that driver's life if I were to do that, and there's no reason to fuck someone up just because they had the misfortune of crossing paths with me.
He will have to answer to God. There are many mentally ill people in this world who don't murder other people. This man was a psychopath pure and simple
Spooky. I recall a pilot demonstrated what happened on a simulator. He was visibly shaken. Even as simulated flight, the "pull up" alarm was almost impossible for him to ignore.
exactly. I had the chance to try a real plane similator in montreal's based CAE and it was scary seeing the landscape getting closer and closer even though it wasn't for real
I remember it too, it scared me a bit, because I want to be a pilot. I'm not scared of the plane, actually, quite the opposite, it would be the other person flying it and whether they are a good person or not. Rest in Peace, GW9525.
In memory of the passengers and crew of Germanwings flight 9525 except the first officer 🥺😥. What a horrible thing to see the captain trying to break through the door. As a passenger seeing this and deciding that it's all over for everyone here because of a psycho. Can't even imagine a situation like this.
Absolutely heartbreaking. All of those innocent lives, senselessly lost, on account of one person's personal mental health issues. I cried watching this, because this was preventable and did not have to happen. RIP to all of the innocent souls who perished; and I am sorry Father, because I just cannot forgive the co-pilot for his reprehensible actions.
I was actually just about to say this,a simple emergency code that a pilot puts in to open the door would have fixed this problem but we can’t hold it against this flight as the plane was quite old but in the future a keypad may save lives at a very small cost.
Bathrooms inside the cockpit? Last thing a crew member on the flight deck wants to experience is a colleague dropping a massive high-fiber deuce three feet away from him.
I sympathize with people who suffer from depression so deeply... but hurting others intentionally ..especially like this.. is inexcusable and honestly very terrifying!
I remember seeing this on the news and when it was reported that it was a deliberate act by the co-pilot I couldn’t believe it. I never thought something like that could happen. Shows how wrong I was unfortunately.
It's funny how an improvement can be a good thing and a bad thing. It's good that the cockpit door is enforced, in which things like highjackers can never happen again. However, if someone's already in the cockpit, there's nothing you can do
Sign Out you make an excellent point. In business we call this, the law of unintended consequences. The enforcement of the door was created post 911 as memory serves. But an unintended consequence of enforcing that door, was a perfect example of what happened here.
@@Kruzeda Yes, I have noticed this when flying. If one of the pilots goes to the toilet, usually a cabin crew member enters the cockpit until they return.
Actually, this could have been a lot worse, he could have crashed the plane into a highly populated area. By the time the military would have responded, it would have happened.
Andreas Lubitz is a mass murderer! He killed 149 innocent people and I hope he will burn in hell forever! God bless the victims and their families! Amen!
Why did he have to include so many innocent people in his suicide!!!! It makes no sense. He died a mass murderer. My heart goes out to the family’s of the passengers & crew.
@Denise Gregory, couldn´t agree more! I guess if he already had to go to hell, he was too chicken to go by himself! Of course by doing THAT he made matters for himself even worse!!...The only good thing about murderers like him is, (suicide murderers, as I call it) that we definitely won´t ever have to deal with him again! If HE had survived, while others would have died, that would been even worse!
Or he wanted to prolong the satisfaction and the fact that in the time it actually took to crash, NO ONE could stop him. It's one thing to just crash a plane in a split second with NO warning. Death is quick and no one "sees it coming"--it's another to be him doing it over several minutes time, smirking as the captain is frantically trying to get in the door bcuz he now KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS what u are trying to actually do. He can't stop u and he was the ONLY person standing in ur way. It's PREMEDITATED MURDER and SUICIDE---PERIOD!😠 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
What you failed to mention here in an already tragic event is that 16 teenage students and two teachers were onboard, returning from a school exchange.I know the mother of one of the boys from that school. Her son was luckily not onboard but he and the rest of the teachers and pupils at that school suffered for a long time after the crash. The Co-Pilot's family rejected the findings of the investigation outright.
Richard Barboza Just what I thought when it happened. Egotistical selfish gutless guttersnipe. Pig of a man that wanted fame, well he got anonymity. If a person has a psychotic illness and is responsible for other people's lives it should be instant red flag, they don't have to say why just that they aren't fit for duty.
You think it's as easy as stick a toilet near the front of the plane? A lot of mechanics go in place and that would distraught the technology at the front
I suffer from Depression and Anxiety. I guess both are general. Certainly not Psychotic. I always think to myself, if you are that depressed just take yourself out, why hurt others? I am not advocating suicide either. Anyways I love your videos, and I tell my friends and family about them. In spite of all of these things that can and do go wrong, I still love flying. I also love to skydive. Your videos move me. Your videos give all of us the information and perspective we didn't have until you came along. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these videos, and I hope your channel grows and grows!!
I believe there may have been other mental illness involved, such as schizophrenia. Depression would not lead someone to commit this sort of mass murder, but what if the co-pilot was hearing voices in his head, etc,
He might have felt more powerful being in control of so much. He could also have thought that he was doing them a favor taking them from this cruel world which is arguable. If you know the powers of deep depression you know that you simply don't want to live anymore and after years of it beating on him he just stopped and likely figured go out doing what he enjoyed. Who knows what tricks his mind played what it believed
What is the point of having a code to enter into a keypad to enter the cockpit if the guy in the cockpit can disable the code? Also, if the solution implemented by several airlines is to keep two crew in the cockpit at all times, what happens if one of them kills or overpowers the other? Finally, regarding the doctors: shouldn't doctor-patient confidentiality end when the person in question is dead, and there is a criminal investigation into that person?
The point is that in the event of a hostile takeover, you do not know if the code has been compromised (by, for example, torturing the crew for information), so they can essentially bunker up in the cockpit indefinately and safely land. It sounds stupid at first, but really, nobody thinks about a member of the crew deciding to crash the plane, until it happens. Reevaluation of proceedures usually follows cause and effect rules, I am certain that in the future, something like what you described will happen and there will be another rule change, nothing is ever 100% air tight tho, as messed up as that sounds, but you can not prepare for any and all eventualities. You could require 5 people to be in the cockpit at all times and it still wouldn't guarantee 100% safety
@@YoutubSUCKZ I know the video highlights Germany specifically, but it's not only Germany... many other countries have this too... I'm a medical student, and the first thing they teach you in one subject is to never breach doctor-patient confidentiality, or even discuss their cases in public, no matter what; if you breach that - even for a good cause, you'll be prosecuted.
I've seen this tragedy first covered on the news way back, then on various channels here on YT. It always makes me extremely sad 😢 It's just horrific. RIP to the captain, FA's and passengers. I can't imagine the fear and despair they all must have felt.
I'm 25, i was 14 when i first traveled by plane and since then i've flown at least 50 times in commercial planes. I never had any particular fear of flying ,only a rush of adrenaline that made any flight unique , but i have to say that since i started watching your videos i think i'm developing a little bit of fear which for me is huge and amazing. Very realistic, atmospheric and informative rapresentations. Keep up the amazing work even if i hope that you soon run out of material to make new videos ;) Chapeau!
Tough luck Viktor. I'm sorry, but when other innocent lives are at stake, if you are suicidal you shouldn't be in that industry. It's that simple to be honest
The gutless weasel couldn't even hand fly the aircraft into the mountain, he had to let the autopilot do it. What an utter failure as a human being. I hope he rots in hell.
I think I may have read that the Airbus is so smart it has fail-safe software to prevent and override what the computer would perceive as pilot error but the psycho figured a way to get around it using the autopilot.
Heidi Dietrich airbus planes have different modes of law: normal law, alternate law and alternate law 2. The aircraft behaves differently depending on which law it’s operating in. Look up Air France 447, thé aircraft was in alternate law because bad weather degraded important instruments
@@heididietrich9800 (read "law" he talks about as "operating mode", each having different levels of automatization/safety systems from all of them down to full manual)
Imagine the poor unsuspecting souls in the cabin go through as they see their death getting closer. This has to be one of the most tragic plane crashes, it's one thing to die because of technical glitches, wheather conditions but crashing a perfectly fine machine is plain murder.
I love how this video takes you into the cockpit ie when adjusting the speed and altitude to show you all the details and how nasty the guy was. The horror must have been unimaginable at the back. I hate plane travel already due to nasty bumps and category 9 turbulence but this takes the biscuit.
@@jgsh8062 He also asked the captain if he wanted to go on a toilet break, but the captain didn't leave the cockpit. It seems innocent enough to not report it.
I don t think he did. I think he did a simulation run through, to make sure he knew what he was doing. That's pilot training for you. Very thorough. p.s. epic tradgedy, the mind literally boggles.
Joanna, a virus can't be as effective, so local authorities have to impose it upon you. There must be other technologies, but virus looks natural, where you can't make legal claim or blame others. Stay safe & healthy.
@SlypherSpoons He was coward because he was afraid of getting his shit together and leading a proper living. Instead, he chose the easiest solution to his problems, which was to just set the altitude to 100 ft.
Psychosis: "Possible symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, talking incoherently and agitation. The person with the condition usually isn't aware of his or her behaviour". The blame should be laid directly on the doctors who treated him - they were too busy protecting their own butts to report to the airline that he was psychotic.
I attempted suicide in the past. Let me tell you, people REALLY underestimate how powerful depression is. No matter how much you think you can understand, you simply can’t unless you have been there yourself. Depression makes you do really stupid things, no matter how illogical something is, if you think it can make you feel better, even for a second, you want to do it. That’s why so many depressed people turn to alcohol or drugs, etc, despite the fact they know it’ll worsen them. However, still, when I was depressed, I never thought about killing anyone else. This may have been a suicide, but I think it would be more accurate to call it a mass murder, because that is what it is.
Thank you for putting it so eloquently. And you're right, nobody can judge unless they've walked a mile in our shoes. I too never thought of taking anyone else with me but I did very risky things, things I would never normally have done so yes, unfortunately it is murder.
I thought all DOCTORS knew that a patient's right to confidentiality ends where another's person right to safety begins; MEANING that this PILOT'S right to confidentiality ended where it came into conflict with the safety of other people (the passengers)!!! Like WTF is wrong with those doctors...
The doctors can be prosecuted for breaching Doctor-Patient confidentiality and can most likely lose their medical license, in the process.. This applies to every patient that is treated by them, criminal or not.
@@s0hail99 I thought that confidentiality ended when the person dies? Like how we all knew my grandpa was sick but we never knew it was terminal cancer until after he passed.
@@randommadness1021 I'm really sorry for your loss. But in this case, if the doctor breeches the confidentiality, the pilot's family can still sue the doctor and the doc risk losing their license.
This is so scary. A few people from my school were supposed to take this plane and return from their exchange... However last minuted they got moved to an aircraft departing 30 minutes later. No one got hold of them and everyone thought they were on the plane which crashed...
Perhaps if one of the pilots has to leave the cabin, then a member of the crew should go into the cabin, until the pilot comes back. This should help out in preventing a deranged pilot from trying to crash a plane. This would of not happened years ago when you also had a flight engineer in the cabin?
This is the new policy in place now after this accident. Someone from the crew has to get in. Then again, who doesnt say that copilot and crew member, both of them , dont have it planned? You never know.
@@visiteurvisiteur7301 true, also i think this is the first accident ever where copilot wanted to kill himself and everyone else... at the end its the game of probabilities, you are never safe.
scrmepal We have have been doing this in the US for two decades. There must be at least two crew members on the flight deck at all times. In non critical phases of flight there can be one pilot and one flight attendant on the flight deck. The most senior flight attendant will enter and one of the pilots will leave the flight deck. The remaining pilot will be supervised by the flight attendant. The pilot will return to the flight deck. The flight attendant or the other pilot will then leave the flight deck. Generally both pilots will use the lavatory and get coffee right after one another. A second flight attendant will block the aisle with a cart.
@@entropy22 The same thing happened with EgyptAir Flight 990 in October 1999. The cockpit voice recorder, the flight data recorder, and the subsequent NTSB investigation told the whole sad story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990
i remember when this came in news in 2015. Heart goes out to all the passengers who were deliberately killed in this gruesome act of violence. If he wanted to die.. he should have just jumped from a cliff to end his miserable life. Why punish innocent people on board. Also, those doctors who knew his medical condition but remained silent need to be prosecuted as well.
The doctors swear an oath to keep privacy on their patients, if you have to blame it on someone then go for the employing company...I am tested for drugs every couple months and I do a worthless manual job while these people are not given accurate medical evaluation (by the company) being responsible for lives? Or, even easier (and as a matter of fact they went for it), the protocol in the manning of the cockpit were faulty and needed to be revised...
@@HistorianTrevi - In the US, patient confidentiality can legitimately be broken if the doctor believes the patient is an immediate threat to himself or other people.
@@HistorianTrevi fucking manual jobs at the airport won't hire you to work a register if you have marijuana in your system... But if your crazy.... Here is a plane with 150 souls on board.
Disgusting. They need better mental health checks before clearing someone to fly an airliner. The doctor who confirmed depression but did not contact Lufthansa needs to be stripped of his/her medical license and confidentiality laws need to be changed.
I don't know if I'd be so sure about that. First of all, you can't just punish a doctor for following the current laws and procedures. Also, people would be a lot less likely to talk to someone without strict confidentially rules, especially if it could be shared with their employer. Generally, medical professionals only share this kind information when someone specifically threatens someone else. Who knows, maybe there should be more exceptions to confidentially when someone has a job with a large potential for damage, but it's a delicate balance and I don't really think it's fair to try to shame his doctors.
The desire to change things after every tragedy is not always warranted. Sometimes shit just isn't preventable. People like this co pilot surely aren't common.
There are depressed people all over the world struggling with their everyday lives but they don't hurt anybody. And then there are these people! RIP to all that died. 🤔
Did WHO save some people? The captain was unable to save anybody. The asshole FO intentionally drove the plane into the side of a mountain at 350 knots. Nobody survived.
I live in Barcelona. By that time I used to fly regularly with Germanwings to Germany, as all those poor passengers. My condolences to their families. I still think often about this, since it shocked me profoundly.
"In the weeks before the BEA's preliminary report, the investigation into Lubitz found he had been treated for suicidal tendencies prior to his training as a commercial pilot and *had been temporarily denied a US pilot's license because of these treatments for depression."* Copy that. U.S. DENIED his flying license. Germany's laws forbade them from doing that.
so theres a very reponsability for germanwing to permit a sociopath with huge depression problems be a copilot, but nobody talks about, who is in prison for that several deaths, nobody
I'm a Psychiatrist and if my patient told me anything that could endanger anyone's life, I have to involve the police immediately. German laws are not right in this respect.
I hate this German action and also how this accident was handled later. There is not much open, official information as we hear/read in other accidents. Also what happened for the insurance claims ? Surely the families have been compensated -- who and how the insurance company paid for a suicidal negligence of the pilot ? Was suicide clause acceptable by the insurance companies ? End of the day, a law was circumvented and broken --as no one would pay money from their pockets!! Did the German government just print the currency notes and distribute as compensation ?
One of the saddest, most tragic of the watched 'Air Disasters ' series. It's almost incomprehensible to hear the pounding of the ax on the cockpit door, the pilot's desperate cries ignored and the screams of him and the passengers as they realized the horror that they were now unwittingly trapped inside. One of the families I remember speaking was the brother of one of the victims. She, her husband and infant daughter were on that ill fated flight, just 3 of the victims of that murderous bastard. The code of silence was deafening, it was their protection from prosecution but it reflected more on his being protected.😥🤬
People! Please stop asking for a review of Lion Air 610! The investigation into why that plane crashed is not nearly complete! It will take months until the investigation is completed and the known reason why the plane crashed is published. The correct information is not available yet!!!
I'll never understand why some people that commit suicide, find it necessary to take people with them. It's a selfish and cowardly act. My heart goes out to the 149 people that lost their lives.
Narcissism, mostly. Some people want to go out with a bang, even in suicide attempts. Unfortunately, he decided to literally and metaphorically went out with a bang.
I don't care about patient confidentiality rules, if I were the shrink/doctor, I will let the company's know about this issue. That doctor also held the victims blood..
they would lose their license. it is not the same as if the psycho told his doctor that indeed, a hundred percent, he is planning to crash the plane, ont his and that date. you have no idea how difficult it is to fight the confidentiality rule. no idea.
Some professions should be excluded, like pilots for instance. I mean, the confidentiality rule should not apply here. At the end you are responsible for other lives!!
The doctor's role is treatment and no pilot is going to someone who is going to make them lose their job. Idiots like you hold many more victims blood.

Well, maybe, but still you cause some problems for the living humans even without crashing a plane full of people. Take the usual example of jumping in front of a train: First you create not a minor but a huge inconvenience for the passengers commuting to whatever place they need to be. Secondly you create a horrible psychological trauma for the train driver which, if the person driving the train is an average decent human being, this person will feel a lot of psychological distress just thinking about it. Although what happened here is a lot more terrible, still suicide can affect other people in harmful ways...
True....
What load crap he intended to do exactly what he did KILLING everyone on board!!! Like a high before you die for psycho!! Drs had concerns worries rightfully so.there are specific clauses drs, mental health have to.IF Patient is talking suicide threatening suicide, threatening harm to others they obligated to report it!!

@@jamesadcock5235 ok james.
Heartbreaking. Those poor people were in a real life nightmare. This one was especially tough to stomach.
I can't believe the press called this a suicide. This was a mass murder. The co-pilot's depression and mental state was debated over and over again but what wasn't talked about was his unbelievable hatred and desire to kill 150 innocent victims. That's what drove this man...not his depression and a desire to kill himself. If he wanted to off himself, there were plenty of other ways to do it without harming others. His first and primary motivation was murder on a mass scale. I hope he's burning in Hell!
I could not agree more, if he was suicidal then take your own life. Rent a small plane and fly it into a mountain if need be. Taking 149 innocent lives with you is mass murder, what a narcissistic psycopathic asshole. My death will be remembered, everyone will feel my pain, what a miserable piece of shit !

@@ivannovotny4552 yup...
I think you can see it both ways.
A person that tries to commit suicide don't care about others in this moment. For example, they don't think about the relatives that they leave behind and are suffering through this act.
I don't think, that he gained any pleasure out of taking the souls on board with him; in his mind it was just him and his reasons caused by the depressions and just wanted to go out with a bang.
Crazy to think he was probably at the aircraft door welcoming passengers onto the plane, seeing all the children board and he still did it. Pure evil at it's worse
Completely unfathomable evil. What he put those people through is beyond hideous.
I can't imagine how someone can think their life is worth more than someone else's

Depression brings a pessimistic, nihilistic perspective over one's life or life in general. It isn't by itself characterized by the intention to do massive harm to others. This guy planned it out and didn't abandon his plan while greeting people entering the plane and talking to the captain for half the flight.

Agreed! Even worse than the 9/11 plane passengers in US probably…
Forget confidentiality. Anyone who suffers from these types of illnesses and holds a job that is in control of another person's life should be made clear to all authorities. That law of confidentiality killed them.
HIPAA needs to end, along with the IHDP (International Health Data Protection) laws in Europe. They have only been misused to cover up crimes (like this one here), obstructing parents from having proper oversight of their minor children's best welfare; and (at the other end of the spectrum) preventing family members from advocating for their elderly parents (and grandparents, etc.) who have been mentally incapacitated due to dementia and Alzheimers. We personally lived through the last scenario; and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
abj5791 this identical problem happens here with EVERY MASS SHOOTING they ALL ARE ON MEDICATION, but after the fact ,we find ‘doctor/patient confidentiality!!
Sorry - I get you're angry - but this is a terrible idea. Think of all the innocent vulnerable mentally ill people whose lives will be affected by everybody automatically assuming they're going to commit a mass murder or do something tragic. You can't trust everyone to act right with that information. The death toll would be even higher if you take those millions of people's privacy away. There's a reason confidentiality is cherished and you're not seeing the bigger picture trying to solve this individual case. These were his actions, not a symptom of illness.

That wouldn't have worked in the A320. As soon as it enters an overspeed condition it will automatically pitch up even if you have the stick all the way forward
Can you imagine being one of those passengers on that doomed flight as you're sitting in your seat planning your day's events, thinking about how great life is, sipping on your coffee, and looking forward to seeing your loved one after your flight lands, then suddenly, you notice the pilot trying to enter the cockpit, noticing things outside your window getting closer, then glancing at your pilot and seeing the fear in his eyes as he tries in vain to open the cockpit door as the ground gets closer and closer. You realize as unbelievable as it seems, everyone is seconds away from life as you once knew it, you're about to die in a very violent crash and there isn't a damn thing you or anyone can do. God that has got to be a sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach. You see the horrified looks on passengers faces, the screaming is probably deafening, the panic is immense and you know that it is going to hurt like hell for that first nanosecond as the plane hits the terrain at over 400mph. The sheer magnitude of it all, trying to understand what it must have been like to be one of those unfortunate passengers must have been absolute horror during their final moments.
Very well said. And apparently that was exactly what that sick fuck wanted.
"thinking about how great life is, sipping on your coffee, and looking forward to seeing your loved one after your flight lands" so you seem to agree with the dude.
Dayuum. you should be a film director or screenwriter!

What a passive aggressive fruit loop this pansy co-pilot was. Hell is too nice of a place for him.

Believe me. Hell is not in any word a nice place. Anything done here in the physical realm to him is a baby's punch to what happens in the pits of Tartarus.
I agree dude with whom I share the same name.
An appropriate place.Not too nice.
If there truly was a hell, and it was eternal, I wouldn’t wish it on ANYONE., not even Hitler and the like. What’s 80 years on earth compared to eternity? (I don’t believe in the afterlife)
look up the meaning of psychotic before you judge.
The co-pilot attempted to crash a plane in the past and they let him fly a plane again??
This is the most serious breach of all.
They only learned that after the fact from the black boxes. He'd hinted at the pilot leaving the cockpit in conversation on the previous flight.
@JOE SIX PACK Yes. It was discovered on the black box voice recorder that on their first leg that day he'd hinted to the pilot about going to the bathroom. Unfortunately, he got his wish on their second leg.
@@EverthingsApple What a sicko he was then.
@@grahamstrahle4010 Exactly. Premedidated.
I heard they discovered that on a separate occasion he also practiced setting the altitude level to 100ft when the captain was out of the cockpit. Really tragic.

Don't start with being depressed. We are all depressed but don't ruin other people's lives because of it.
He did a wrong thing, but thats not how depression works. Not everyone is depressed, and if youve never been thru depression, you cant really talk. Depression is a serious mental illnes, and if he also had psychotic side in it, its very bad. When you cross the line that you are so depressed that all you want is to die, you dont understand, care and think about others. Its sad but thats how it works. He never should have been a active pilot with such a serious disorder.
Tera Baap no one should be treated so bad emotionally that they will get depressed. Its pretty rare to be so badly depressed that suicide is a option, but it still happens. Mental health unfortunaty is not taken as seriously as it should
Tera Baap competely wrong. Thats the biggest issue with dealing mental stuff. People think that depressed people choosed the disorder, or that they are thinking about it or such. People who are deeply depressed, dont infact think anything about the stuff they are dealing with. They are in so bad emotional pain, anxiety and such that its usually not in their control anymore. When you have crossed the line where you are at serious suicide risk, they need someone to take care of them. Mental institutes are there for a reason. Psychotic depression however, is far more worse than depression itself. Usually the person whos dealing with it, loses the control of whats real and whats not. I mean, they can still behave normally in public, and its hard for people to notice that, but inside the persons head, he can be in totally different world. Its hard to explain to someone who doesnt have the experience in dealing with people who has, or had such things.
So true
@Tera Baap There is so much wrong with this. First of all, I do realize there are many people who seek attention when they suffer from self-diagnosed depression, and that they think everyone should feel bad for them and pity them. But when you're officially diagnosed, and been living with it for years and tried medicine, therapy, exercise, and nothing works, it's not for attention. Mental illness, especially in young adults and teens, is not taken seriously enough. It is a serious problem that leads to suicide, broken families, and broken relationships. Turning a blind eye to someone who is evidently suffering is cruel, because in the end, even if it wasn't real, at least you can say you cared enough to check and make sure they got help.
Telling someone who has clinical depression to "toughen up" is so wrong, and so detrimental to their health. This is why people are afraid to talk about it and get help, because people like you seem to think it's a "phase" and they just don't want to be happy or some BS like that. Do some actual research and talk to people with moderate to severe depression and then tell me if it's just a phase. Tell me that they're just seeking attention. Tell me that they don't wish they had normal up and down days like other people. Tell me they don't want to be happy. Tell me they don't try to hide it if only to spare others from looking down on them and prevent themselves from being a burden.
Sincerely, someone with a years-long battle with depression, who has tried almost every "trick" in the book and then some for some semblance or normalcy, who hides it from their friends and family because they don't want to be a burden.
Edit: Also, telling them their problems don't exist is disgusting. When you have *actual* depression, a lot of times there is no reason to feel hopeless, and that's one of the most frustrating parts. You wish you knew, you wish there actually was something that you could fix. So when there isn't, it's crushing and makes you feel even worse for having depression, and it's a vicious cycle that oftentimes needs intervention to help break it. I can't even begin to say how much your comment disgusts me. As someone who has lost friends to suicide and almost lost a couple from their attempts, it makes me feel sorry for the ones who have to interact with you. I sincerely hope you never say things like this to people who are truly suffering from a debilitating mental illness.

I was actually skiing in the French Alps that week and remember in the bar that evening people were horrified and it put such a downer on things. I feel such anger that so many beautiful lives were destroyed for nothing!! And that pilot, a lovely young guy with two small children, hammering at the door for a futile ten minutes knowing he will be obliterrated it’s just unbearable!
I'm depressed, I feel suicidal. I have never wanted to take others with me. He was evil.
I pray that you overcome your depression.
ElSpewtardo im with you. Please recover!

Same. I just cannot comprehend how some people want to drag others into harms way.
I was suicidal for 2 years and fought to stay alive because I knew my suicide would hurt my loved ones. I know it's hard, but hang in there!
The fact that you can't listen to these videos and have to pay attention to read them is brilliant. They draw you in so much and the tension is built masterfully.
Even if there's no bird strikes, no terrorist attacks, nothing wrong with the plane mechanics, nothing wrong with the weather, there's still a chance of human insanity. Life is tough!
Also the design of the cockpit door became the very thing it swears to prevent.
This one was a terrorist attack .
@@Marceloloeite You missed the whole point of the crashing; depression.
@@Marceloloeite Well, all I know is that he was depressed, if that's what you think then that's what you think.
That's what is making me not want to fly anymore. Most of these crashes were human caused at some point in the process: manufacturing, maintenance, pilots, highjackers. You can't sufficiently plan for that.
I will never forget that day, I was living in Spain. We were all just completely shocked when it was determined that the co-pilot (first officer) had deliberately crashed the aircraft. Onboard there were a huge number of high school students from one school, who were returning home from an exchange program in Spain. Those poor kids and all the other passengers and crew, the terror they must have experienced in those final minutes, knowing it was going to be the end of their lives. Such an evil act, it still haunts me.
He didnt want to do it, but he felt it, as once suicide is done, you could have comfort in the afterlife. Depression is a complex problem the changes the reality of a oneself. I give empathy for all. He isnt evil; he's just a man with a few screws loose

The fact that you have sympathy for this man makes me question your empathy towards victims. Get it checked out man, that's no healthy behavior.
This must be an absolutely horrible experience... seeing the ground, the mountains, the roads getting smowly closer and closer... seeing how death is approaching and just waiting for the plane to collide with the mountain and die... you know you can’t do anything... you’re helpless, knowing in less than 10 minutes, you’ll will be dead, you won’t be here on earth anymore, everything you’ve known will be gone... Seeing others panicking too and waiting for their deaths...
Exactly what I was thinking. Has to be the worst possible feeling
And waiting for the pilot to pull up..sad as
Yeah it’s pretty sad. Even the captain tried his best to enter and save the plane. But it just wasn’t possible. And by the Time the passengers saw the mountains getting closer and closer they just felt helpless waiting to die. Just gives me chills thinking about that 😢
😢😢😢
I cant even think about it :-(((
Andreas was a true coward, as coward as a human can be.
That wasn't cowardly at all. He flew himself into a mountain. It was vile though. Inhumane.

@@joegresh "Mental breakdown" in an aircraft with 150 people on board? Notice that when a 15yr old has a mental breakdown he breaks something, but no harm done. This is WAY different.
I’m struggling to get my head around the fact that the co-pilot had already tried to crash the plane on the previous leg. He should have been detained and relieved of his duties on landing in Barcelona.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Si1983h
In retrospect, how do they know he tried to crash the plane previously ...
Any answer ???
God Bless
Clocktower Preacher I have no idea... but if it’s true then it’s just staggering.
By crashing the plane they mean his initial plan was to crash it on the DUS-BCN leg, however the captain never left the cockpit during that leg so he ended up doing it on the return, he didn't behave abnormally, he just tried to get the captain to go to the toilet
mrojas700 understood. Such a massive tragedy and completely unnecessary. I will never understand why suicidal pilots feel the need to take colleagues and passengers with them.😢
I can't even imagine how the Captain and the passengers felt in those final moments. May their souls find peace.
And the morale of the story is...
You should be suspecious when your co-pilot suggest you to use the bathroom.
Unusual suggestion by the co-pilot. I bet the suspected that suggestion only when he found the door was locked.
This is a warning for pilots
That is why 2 more pilots should of left there just incase they needed more than two on aircraft about 3 to 4 pilots
That was a evil devil
My dream is that someday you learn to spell suspicious
Cabin crew should all have a spare key or something to be able to get back in.
That pilot was pure evil
Finally somebody said it thank you AT LEAST we LEARN and CHANGE for the BETTER
If there is a way in with a key how do you prevent hijackers/terrorists from getting in?
@@EricJ0hansson the "keys" should be number based. All kept on the hush, individual numbers per different ranks. Would require some hacking or talking for the numbers to ever get out. The captain would have admin key and always be able to do whatever he pleases with regards to entering the cockpit or cabin.
Or cabin crew stand in cockpit whilst one pilot goes to toilet and they know how to unlock door
@uwais msnn That sounds like a lot of work to make it safe and practical, with all the different personnel for each flight etc. And finger print scanners can have a hard reading many peoples fingers. I've had a hard time using any. Many construction workers have a hard time using them, and so on. And I feel there needs to be an analogue solution too, otherwise if the power goes out the door can't be opened. At least not from the outside.
And having keys, and especially "admin" keys for pilots, sounds like a very easy way for a hijacker to get in. Just get a hold of one and you're good to go.
In short, I don't know what would be the best solution. I would think that a pilot locking the other one out to crash the plane is less likely than someone trying to hijack it. But having at least two people in the cockpit at all times feels like it would help.
His parents really pissed me off, I think on the first anniversary of this tragic crash, taking out a memorial notice in their German paper, with his picture, claiming he was a victim too.
There isn't much that can stop us loving our children, it's part of being human, but another part of being human is to realise that sometimes one has to suffer one's own loss privately, if only to prevent further pain to the families of the true victims of the one we loved and lost, but who did something terrible and unforgivable.
That was insensitive
They were insensitive.

He wasn’t a terrorist. Not every mass murderer is a “terrorist”. A terrorist is doing their killing in service of a political or religious cause, for strategic reasons.
This guy had no cause. He was just a psychopath who had his heart set on killing himself in a plane crash, and the 150 innocent souls on board with him were just tragically unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time- Onboard the plane he was going to use.

No. Many get depressed from time to time. Then there's us who suffer from depression 24/7/365. I've been on meds since I was in my 20's. I'm 57 now. There's a huge difference between suffering once in a while cuse you lost your job or your spouse left you and suffering from it everyday of your life.
Just because you share the same illness in name does not mean you share the same illness. Depression is different for everyone. What's important is that he wouldn't have done this without the mental issues he had. He didn't kill them because of hate but because of apathy

Captain Eren if you understood depression you would never have made that part of the comment
I don’t feel any remorse, or sympathy for the co-pilot. What he did was pure evil. If you wanted to commit suicide find another way, to take innocent lives away. Yes, I understand he has a depression disease, seriously. My heart goes out to the captain, and the other lives on that plane. R.I.P. He has to answer to the Higher Power, if he’s their.
'if you wanted to commit suicide, find another way.'
no. if someone wants to commit suicide, they deserve to know that there is a better way than ending it all. they deserve the right treatment, even if that requires drastic measures like banning them from their occupation in case they are too far gone and cannot think rationally on their own.
I understand your lack of sympathy, though. this was inexcusable.
@variety addict there's a difference between depression and being a cold blood murderer. Putting every person with mental illness in a box saying they're all "prone to snap" is just plain ignorance, do you even read about said diseases? That's not how they work.
Not every person with that is a bad person, do not associate them with those evil murderers, they're just trying to live normally.
People who want to kill themselves won't kill others like this monster did, don't compare both.
He could have had depression but on top of that, he was an evil person and chose to use it badly. Most clinically depressed people I know are all amazing people, they just have an illness, none of them are "bad" or "prone to snap". Read about medication and treatments too.
@@lan12121 I would never judge a person for committing suicide. Of course it would be better if they didn't choose to end their own life, but I understand that such intense emotional pain can become unbearable and if someone does take that route, I won't judge them. However, taking innocent people with them is something I will judge them for nine ways til Sunday. The only way I would not judge them is if they have fits in which they lose contact with reality or have a warped model of the world, like Andrea Yates did. And it doesn't sound like that was the case for this guy. I've had depression and at my lowest I remember casually thinking what if I don't get out of the way of this car that's coming towards me? In that case the car was going at a very low speed, because those streets were narrow, but I thought what if, and my immediate next thought was, no, I would be destroying that driver's life if I were to do that, and there's no reason to fuck someone up just because they had the misfortune of crossing paths with me.
He will have to answer to God. There are many mentally ill people in this world who don't murder other people. This man was a psychopath pure and simple
@variety byun He didn't 'snap ', he told his girlfriend weeks before that everyone was going to know who he was. It was a planned mass murder.

There should be bathrooms inside the cockpit, and a "password" the pilot can put in to open the door at any moment
I was actually just about to say this,a simple emergency code that a pilot puts in to open the door would have fixed this problem but we can’t hold it against this flight as the plane was quite old but in the future a keypad may save lives at a very small cost.
This is very correct.
I believe the video said there was a code and the captain tried it, but the co-pilot had disabled the control panel
Bathrooms inside the cockpit? Last thing a crew member on the flight deck wants to experience is a colleague dropping a massive high-fiber deuce three feet away from him.
Flowing water inside a cockpit? Good one......no risk to the flight instruments there.
I sympathize with people who suffer from depression so deeply... but hurting others intentionally ..especially like this.. is inexcusable and honestly very terrifying!
I remember seeing this on the news and when it was reported that it was a deliberate act by the co-pilot I couldn’t believe it. I never thought something like that could happen. Shows how wrong I was unfortunately.
They literally reinforced cockpit doors because of 9/11 so the co-pilot couldn't break the door down. ugh.
It's funny how an improvement can be a good thing and a bad thing. It's good that the cockpit door is enforced, in which things like highjackers can never happen again. However, if someone's already in the cockpit, there's nothing you can do
Sign Out you make an excellent point. In business we call this, the law of unintended consequences. The enforcement of the door was created post 911 as memory serves. But an unintended consequence of enforcing that door, was a perfect example of what happened here.
Actually, I believe that since this event there must be at least two crew members inside the cockpit at all timed

@Denise Gregory, couldn´t agree more! I guess if he already had to go to hell, he was too chicken to go by himself! Of course by doing THAT he made matters for himself even worse!!...The only good thing about murderers like him is, (suicide murderers, as I call it) that we definitely won´t ever have to deal with him again! If HE had survived, while others would have died, that would been even worse!
Or he wanted to prolong the satisfaction and the fact that in the time it actually took to crash, NO ONE could stop him. It's one thing to just crash a plane in a split second with NO warning. Death is quick and no one "sees it coming"--it's another to be him doing it over several minutes time, smirking as the captain is frantically trying to get in the door bcuz he now KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS what u are trying to actually do. He can't stop u and he was the ONLY person standing in ur way. It's PREMEDITATED MURDER and SUICIDE---PERIOD!😠

What you failed to mention here in an already tragic event is that 16 teenage students and two teachers were onboard, returning from a school exchange.I know the mother of one of the boys from that school. Her son was luckily not onboard but he and the rest of the teachers and pupils at that school suffered for a long time after the crash. The Co-Pilot's family rejected the findings of the investigation outright.
Perhaps they need to install a toilet inside the cockpit. Problem solved.
Richard Barboza Just what I thought when it happened. Egotistical selfish gutless guttersnipe. Pig of a man that wanted fame, well he got anonymity. If a person has a psychotic illness and is responsible for other people's lives it should be instant red flag, they don't have to say why just that they aren't fit for duty.
Yeah even with toilet inside cockpit,but What if the captain decides to deliberately crush the plane,
@Richard Barboza; hey, I think that´s a really good idea! Can´t be THAT expensive to install it... :) I love it!
You think it's as easy as stick a toilet near the front of the plane? A lot of mechanics go in place and that would distraught the technology at the front
Sounds weird, but honestly necessary after seeing this video. There should ALWAYS be more than one pilot in the cockpit.
I suffer from Depression and Anxiety. I guess both are general. Certainly not Psychotic. I always think to myself, if you are that depressed just take yourself out, why hurt others? I am not advocating suicide either. Anyways I love your videos, and I tell my friends and family about them. In spite of all of these things that can and do go wrong, I still love flying. I also love to skydive. Your videos move me. Your videos give all of us the information and perspective we didn't have until you came along. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into these videos, and I hope your channel grows and grows!!

I believe there may have been other mental illness involved, such as schizophrenia. Depression would not lead someone to commit this sort of mass murder, but what if the co-pilot was hearing voices in his head, etc,
He might have felt more powerful being in control of so much. He could also have thought that he was doing them a favor taking them from this cruel world which is arguable. If you know the powers of deep depression you know that you simply don't want to live anymore and after years of it beating on him he just stopped and likely figured go out doing what he enjoyed. Who knows what tricks his mind played what it believed
Although it was a plane full of ppl he felt alone in the cockpit thats the tragedy of selfishness.
@@Haygirl345 there's another name for that.
What is the point of having a code to enter into a keypad to enter the cockpit if the guy in the cockpit can disable the code? Also, if the solution implemented by several airlines is to keep two crew in the cockpit at all times, what happens if one of them kills or overpowers the other? Finally, regarding the doctors: shouldn't doctor-patient confidentiality end when the person in question is dead, and there is a criminal investigation into that person?
No, police can subpoena your files after someone is dead....you can't just go handing them over.
The point is that in the event of a hostile takeover, you do not know if the code has been compromised (by, for example, torturing the crew for information), so they can essentially bunker up in the cockpit indefinately and safely land. It sounds stupid at first, but really, nobody thinks about a member of the crew deciding to crash the plane, until it happens.
Reevaluation of proceedures usually follows cause and effect rules, I am certain that in the future, something like what you described will happen and there will be another rule change, nothing is ever 100% air tight tho, as messed up as that sounds, but you can not prepare for any and all eventualities. You could require 5 people to be in the cockpit at all times and it still wouldn't guarantee 100% safety

@@redsloane879 only in germany though
@@YoutubSUCKZ I know the video highlights Germany specifically, but it's not only Germany... many other countries have this too... I'm a medical student, and the first thing they teach you in one subject is to never breach doctor-patient confidentiality, or even discuss their cases in public, no matter what; if you breach that - even for a good cause, you'll be prosecuted.
I've seen this tragedy first covered on the news way back, then on various channels here on YT. It always makes me extremely sad 😢 It's just horrific. RIP to the captain, FA's and passengers. I can't imagine the fear and despair they all must have felt.
I'm 25, i was 14 when i first traveled by plane and since then i've flown at least 50 times in commercial planes. I never had any particular fear of flying ,only a rush of adrenaline that made any flight unique , but i have to say that since i started watching your videos i think i'm developing a little bit of fear which for me is huge and amazing. Very realistic, atmospheric and informative rapresentations. Keep up the amazing work even if i hope that you soon run out of material to make new videos ;) Chapeau!
I think fear can be good and important
Yeh bich flying across america is no flying
I pray to God that he never runs out of material's
This crash is truly sad, taking the lives of innocent people for your own problems but still nice recreation
@Viktor with a K well it's his personal problem...that he should've dealt with alone....and not take innocent lives with him...
@@camerongrant317
Well said and thank you.
this wasn't a crash...this was intentional....a crash is an accident....he didn't crash ...he DELIBERATELY FLEW the plane into the mountain.
Tough luck Viktor. I'm sorry, but when other innocent lives are at stake, if you are suicidal you shouldn't be in that industry. It's that simple to be honest
sad my ass this is an outrage
The gutless weasel couldn't even hand fly the aircraft into the mountain, he had to let the autopilot do it. What an utter failure as a human being. I hope he rots in hell.
I think I may have read that the Airbus is so smart it has fail-safe software to prevent and override what the computer would perceive as pilot error but the psycho figured a way to get around it using the autopilot.

Yeh it was still in normal law.
@@carousel9325 what's normal law?
Heidi Dietrich airbus planes have different modes of law: normal law, alternate law and alternate law 2. The aircraft behaves differently depending on which law it’s operating in. Look up Air France 447, thé aircraft was in alternate law because bad weather degraded important instruments
@@heididietrich9800 (read "law" he talks about as "operating mode", each having different levels of automatization/safety systems from all of them down to full manual)
Imagine the poor unsuspecting souls in the cabin go through as they see their death getting closer. This has to be one of the most tragic plane crashes, it's one thing to die because of technical glitches, wheather conditions but crashing a perfectly fine machine is plain murder.
I love how this video takes you into the cockpit ie when adjusting the speed and altitude to show you all the details and how nasty the guy was. The horror must have been unimaginable at the back. I hate plane travel already due to nasty bumps and category 9 turbulence but this takes the biscuit.
Ah yes crashing a plane at 320 knots is worse than crashing it at 300 knots. I don’t think it makes a ‘nasty’ difference does it?
I can agree
Takes the biscuit?
The fact that the man tried to crash the plane on the previous leg of the trip and no one thought to intervene is mind boggling. Very sad..
They didn't realise that until they studied the black box x
Beebe Joslin the captain didn’t immediately report it?
the company should fired him before
@@jgsh8062 He also asked the captain if he wanted to go on a toilet break, but the captain didn't leave the cockpit. It seems innocent enough to not report it.
I don t think he did. I think he did a simulation run through, to make sure he knew what he was doing. That's pilot training for you. Very thorough. p.s. epic tradgedy, the mind literally boggles.
why do i keep watching these kind of videos. i will never be able to go on a plane again
Beth we'll meet someday I'll be the antagonist of your flight 👮
If you keep watching, you can still travel by ocean cruiser, which is safer than air.
Lockdown side effect
Joanna, a virus can't be as effective, so local authorities have to impose it upon you. There must be other technologies, but virus looks natural, where you can't make legal claim or blame others. Stay safe & healthy.
And this kind of stuff is why I don't fly
This is beyond disturbing. Can’t even imagine the passengers last moments.
The epitome of a coward.
Epitome of a legend!
@SlypherSpoons He was coward because he was afraid of getting his shit together and leading a proper living. Instead, he chose the easiest solution to his problems, which was to just set the altitude to 100 ft.
TRUST NO ONE!!
Psychosis: "Possible symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, talking incoherently and agitation. The person with the condition usually isn't aware of his or her behaviour". The blame should be laid directly on the doctors who treated him - they were too busy protecting their own butts to report to the airline that he was psychotic.
I attempted suicide in the past.
Let me tell you, people REALLY underestimate how powerful depression is. No matter how much you think you can understand, you simply can’t unless you have been there yourself.
Depression makes you do really stupid things, no matter how illogical something is, if you think it can make you feel better, even for a second, you want to do it. That’s why so many depressed people turn to alcohol or drugs, etc, despite the fact they know it’ll worsen them.
However, still, when I was depressed, I never thought about killing anyone else. This may have been a suicide, but I think it would be more accurate to call it a mass murder, because that is what it is.
Lol drama queen
I think I am ‘Stop seeking attention, troll. You’re not offending anybody.’
@@Gar96229 lol.
@@Gar96229 the irony of you telling me to stop seeking attention. HAHA
Thank you for putting it so eloquently. And you're right, nobody can judge unless they've walked a mile in our shoes. I too never thought of taking anyone else with me but I did very risky things, things I would never normally have done so yes, unfortunately it is murder.

I thought all DOCTORS knew that a patient's right to confidentiality ends where another's person right to safety begins;
MEANING that this PILOT'S right to confidentiality ended where it came into conflict with the safety of other people (the passengers)!!!
Like WTF is wrong with those doctors...
probably something wrong with the law itself, it should be modified
@@gbessone right, mandatory reporting might only be a US or select country thing.
The doctors can be prosecuted for breaching Doctor-Patient confidentiality and can most likely lose their medical license, in the process..
This applies to every patient that is treated by them, criminal or not.
@@s0hail99 I thought that confidentiality ended when the person dies? Like how we all knew my grandpa was sick but we never knew it was terminal cancer until after he passed.
@@randommadness1021 I'm really sorry for your loss.
But in this case, if the doctor breeches the confidentiality, the pilot's family can still sue the doctor and the doc risk losing their license.
Lets never mention his name again. Forget about him, he was nothing.

This is so scary.
A few people from my school were supposed to take this plane and return from their exchange... However last minuted they got moved to an aircraft departing 30 minutes later. No one got hold of them and everyone thought they were on the plane which crashed...
It wasnt their time
They were so lucky
Can you imagine their parents during the brief time of not knowing?
@@forza223bowe5 damn I know right 30 minutes is very short time they lucked out this time
Karen Kramer I can only imagine how they felt, must be a horrible feeling
Perhaps if one of the pilots has to leave the cabin, then a member of the crew should go into the cabin, until the pilot comes back. This should help out in preventing a deranged pilot from trying to crash a plane. This would of not happened years ago when you also had a flight engineer in the cabin?
This is the new policy in place now after this accident. Someone from the crew has to get in. Then again, who doesnt say that copilot and crew member, both of them , dont have it planned? You never know.
@@entropy22 Would be an huge coincidence.
@@visiteurvisiteur7301 true, also i think this is the first accident ever where copilot wanted to kill himself and everyone else... at the end its the game of probabilities, you are never safe.
scrmepal We have have been doing this in the US for two decades. There must be at least two crew members on the flight deck at all times. In non critical phases of flight there can be one pilot and one flight attendant on the flight deck. The most senior flight attendant will enter and one of the pilots will leave the flight deck. The remaining pilot will be supervised by the flight attendant. The pilot will return to the flight deck. The flight attendant or the other pilot will then leave the flight deck. Generally both pilots will use the lavatory and get coffee right after one another. A second flight attendant will block the aisle with a cart.
@@entropy22 The same thing happened with EgyptAir Flight 990 in October 1999. The cockpit voice recorder, the flight data recorder, and the subsequent NTSB investigation told the whole sad story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EgyptAir_Flight_990
As a parent to a teenager, I couldn't fathom the terror those kids might have felt knowing its the end for them
i remember when this came in news in 2015. Heart goes out to all the passengers who were deliberately killed in this gruesome act of violence. If he wanted to die.. he should have just jumped from a cliff to end his miserable life. Why punish innocent people on board. Also, those doctors who knew his medical condition but remained silent need to be prosecuted as well.
The doctors swear an oath to keep privacy on their patients, if you have to blame it on someone then go for the employing company...I am tested for drugs every couple months and I do a worthless manual job while these people are not given accurate medical evaluation (by the company) being responsible for lives? Or, even easier (and as a matter of fact they went for it), the protocol in the manning of the cockpit were faulty and needed to be revised...
@@HistorianTrevi - In the US, patient confidentiality can legitimately be broken if the doctor believes the patient is an immediate threat to himself or other people.
@@HistorianTrevi fucking manual jobs at the airport won't hire you to work a register if you have marijuana in your system... But if your crazy.... Here is a plane with 150 souls on board.
Disgusting. They need better mental health checks before clearing someone to fly an airliner. The doctor who confirmed depression but did not contact Lufthansa needs to be stripped of his/her medical license and confidentiality laws need to be changed.
I don't know if I'd be so sure about that. First of all, you can't just punish a doctor for following the current laws and procedures. Also, people would be a lot less likely to talk to someone without strict confidentially rules, especially if it could be shared with their employer. Generally, medical professionals only share this kind information when someone specifically threatens someone else.
Who knows, maybe there should be more exceptions to confidentially when someone has a job with a large potential for damage, but it's a delicate balance and I don't really think it's fair to try to shame his doctors.
The desire to change things after every tragedy is not always warranted. Sometimes shit just isn't preventable. People like this co pilot surely aren't common.
Zachary Watson They risked their jobs if they did that due to Germany‘s confidentiality laws
@jason9022 germanwings is a company incorporated into Lufthansa, Lufthansa is their big boss
thats hard to do. multiple tests will still not be able to reveal your way of thinking.
It is truly amazing that a flight recorder can survive such a crash.
They are built for that
They're built to be virtually indestructible.
There are depressed people all over the world struggling with their everyday lives but they don't hurt anybody.

"In the weeks before the BEA's preliminary report, the investigation into Lubitz found he had been treated for suicidal tendencies prior to his training as a commercial pilot and *had been temporarily denied a US pilot's license because of these treatments for depression."*
Copy that. U.S. DENIED his flying license. Germany's laws forbade them from doing that.
so theres a very reponsability for germanwing to permit a sociopath with huge depression problems be a copilot, but nobody talks about, who is in prison for that several deaths, nobody
I'm a Psychiatrist and if my patient told me anything that could endanger anyone's life, I have to involve the police immediately. German laws are not right in this respect.
I hate this German action and also how this accident was handled later. There is not much open, official information as we hear/read in other accidents. Also what happened for the insurance claims ? Surely the families have been compensated -- who and how the insurance company paid for a suicidal negligence of the pilot ? Was suicide clause acceptable by the insurance companies ? End of the day, a law was circumvented and broken --as no one would pay money from their pockets!! Did the German government just print the currency notes and distribute as compensation ?
@@SukumarDevaguptapuLife-Smiles electronic transfer is enough. No need to print any money.

One of the saddest, most tragic of the watched 'Air Disasters ' series. It's almost incomprehensible to hear the pounding of the ax on the cockpit door, the pilot's desperate cries ignored and the screams of him and the passengers as they realized the horror that they were now unwittingly trapped inside. One of the families I remember speaking was the brother of one of the victims. She, her husband and infant daughter were on that ill fated flight, just 3 of the victims of that murderous bastard. The code of silence was deafening, it was their protection from prosecution but it reflected more on his being protected.😥🤬

I don't care about patient confidentiality rules, if I were the shrink/doctor, I will let the company's know about this issue.
That doctor also held the victims blood..
Laws need to be changed.....
In the UK Docs can talk to authorities if they feel a patient is likely to harm others. Guess its different in Germany.
they would lose their license. it is not the same as if the psycho told his doctor that indeed, a hundred percent, he is planning to crash the plane, ont his and that date. you have no idea how difficult it is to fight the confidentiality rule. no idea.
Some professions should be excluded, like pilots for instance. I mean, the confidentiality rule should not apply here. At the end you are responsible for other lives!!
The doctor's role is treatment and no pilot is going to someone who is going to make them lose their job. Idiots like you hold many more victims blood.
