I can't believe this could have been done intentionally.
I am EXTREMELY curious to find out a)more about this guy and b)how this affects procedural changes for the future.
I hate saying I'm happy that it wasn't a mechanical problem... but I am.

Planes really don't ever crash due to mechanical problems anymore. It's virtually always pilot error.
Air travel is insanely safe. It just comes down to the pilot.

I'm the opposite. I'm an engineer so it would make me feel better if it was a mechanical problem because I know that can be fixed. I don't know how you fix "crazy". That why the Middle East just generally makes me uneasy. Just seems like a lot of crazy over there.

"We have found something which will now be taken for tests. We cannot say what it is at the moment but it may be very significant clue to what has happened," Markus Niesczery, a spokesman for Dusseldorf Police, told the Daily Mail late Thursday.
Bild reported that on several occasions his training at Lufthansa's flight school in Phoenix, Arizona, was interrupted for mental health reasons after he had a "serious depressive episode." Lufthansa is Germanwings' parent company. The German tabloid reported that Lubitz may even have undergone treatment after being what it called "demoted" several times during his training in the United States.
The newspaper referred to him as a mass murderer. It said the "episode" was noted on his medical records held by the aviation authorities. Der Spiegel also separately reported the findings that have not been confirmed. Germany's Federal Aviation Office would not confirm the report.
