Reuters: Torn-up sick notes show crash pilot should have been grounded

(Reuters) - German authorities found torn-up sick notes showing that the pilot who crashed a plane into the French Alps was suffering from an illness that should have grounded him on the day of the tragedy, which he apparently hid from the airline.

French prosecutors believe Andreas Lubitz, 27, locked himself alone in the cockpit of the Germanwings Airbus A320 on Tuesday and deliberately steered it into a mountain, killing all 150 people on board.

Talk about stupid. Just about everyone is engaged in group think.

They want commercial airlines to be control be ground.

That will work well. It will work.

And sooner or later terrorists or a foreign government will also get it to work. As a bonus they no longer have to suicide!

An American drone was hacked by the Iranians (with Russian help?). Either that or it was gifted by Barry (not likely, but Barry is very anti-American).

But if they can hack a drone and take away control from the "legit" operators can they not do that with a commercial airliner?
