In the next days more will likely be learned about this young man. At this point I’ve learned nothing that explains why he did this. As of now there appear to be no muslim and/or nazi inclinations. Nothing about financial difficulties or unhappiness with lovers. He’d apparently been extremely stressed at one time (over 5 years ago) during his flight training but nothing since then. He seems to have been liked and respected by acquaintances.
Honestly- it makes no sense to me yet.
It’s clear though- this was deliberate.

The database, which appears on the agency’s website at www.faa.gov, names Lubitz and other certified pilots who have met or exceeded the high educational, licensing and medical standards established by the FAA.
Pilot certification standards have evolved over time in an attempt to reduce pilot errors that lead to fatal crashes. FAA standards, which are set in consultation with the aviation industry and the public, are among the highest in the world.
Transportation safety experts strongly recommend against flying with an uncertified pilot. FAA pilot certification can be the difference between a safe flight and one that ends in tragedy.
The FAA recently announced that is it increasing the qualification requirements for co-pilots who fly for U.S. passenger and cargo airlines. These requirements mandate additional minimum flight time and training, as well as aircraft specific training.
“Safety will be my overriding priority as Secretary, so I am especially pleased to mark my first week by announcing a rule that will help us maintain our unparalleled safety record,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a press release. “We owe it to the traveling public to have only the most qualified and best trained pilots.”

Just talked to a person who has a German exchange student. He says that the home town of his parents needed laborers after WWII and brought people in from Turkey. They have now taken over. Many were of a faith we have been asking about. So who were his ancestors?
If we go back to St. Paul’s words: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”, everything happening in the world today makes sense.
