Germanwings A320 Plane Crashes in Southern France

[Siddley Hawker]

Interesting take by Theodore Dalrymple, in Taki's Magazine.

Psychiatry will never make the likes of Andreas Lubitz whole (if he was as I surmise he was), and of this, in a way, I am glad: for it means that the powers of psychiatry will remain limited. We shall never be putty in technicians’ hands. That is not the same as saying that he should have been allowed to fly aircraft. A little more stigma and prejudice would have saved the 149 lives he so egotistically snuffed out.

For those who are unfamiliar with Theodore Dalrymple, here's his Wiki entry.

Here is a 2012 incident that could have went bad if rolls were reversed. Similiar event.

Just read on another site that a GermanWings crew flew a leg with the cockpit doors wide open for the whole flight. I believe everything I read on the internet.
