What kind of demon takes not only his own but 149 other people to their deaths is what boggles the mind...  You have to be incredibly angry or cuckoo to do this..

He was mentally ill but hid his diagnosis from the company. The police found medication and torn sick leave papers at his home.

The system failed big time. Doctor: The patient apparently is depressed and crazy. But we trust him to be straight headed enough to notify his employer free willingly.

Wtf everytime i turn on the news how can you not get more depressed... people are by far the worst species on this planet, I don't think the wright brothers envisioned this back then

His girlfriend left him, and he murders a plane full of people. What a bleeding butthole.

Dude had a doctor's note not to fly that day.

Unbelievable. What a sorry SOB.

What a sorry failure of the system when a doctor can't notify a dangerous individual to the authorities. The system killed the passengers in this case.

Not so sure of that.  If the system allowed the doctor to notify the authorities about the individual then said individual simply doesn't go to the doctor because the consequences of doing so are catastrophic to him or her.

The question is: Did he know / tulips this individual to be dangerous? Just because the doctor writes such a note it doesn't mean he would have even remotely expected like that.

While the doctor is sworn to medical confitentially, there are exceptions by law in case of an justified emergency (as per §34 StGB). If this pilot had made any remarks indicating he's contemplating such a suicide, the doctor would have been allowed to inform the authorities.

But we don't know anything of this yet. Perhaps the doctor didn't know the full extend of the pilot's 'problems'. Maybe he did and failed to put 1+1 together.
At this point, it's just speculation.

Without meds his symptoms would be so obvious that the employer and co-employees would take action.

Right. Thats all we need is Doctors calling employers as patients are walking out the office. Why even bothering calling ourselves "free" after thats allowed? Im sorry those people died but Doctor/patient confidentiality is one of the cornerstones of freedom. "Freedoms" that "millions" died for so that we can have.

Germans have constitutional rights as we do and they are more important then 150 lives. Besides remove them and nobody would go for help, other then the vodka store like the Russians do.

This is a WILD assumption to make, bordering on moronic. That's not a personal slight against you Ripley, but mental issues manifest so incredibly differently between people, to assume HIS symptoms would have been particularly obvious is ridiculous.

IMO anyone who shows any sort of mental history or symptoms should not be allowed to drive a 200 passenger airplane.

Disagree, a lot of people have a period of depression or something like that but get trough it and can move on. That should not haunt u for the rest of your life. It will only lead to people not seeking help because thy know that any contact with a shrink etc will label them as mentaly instable for life. It is bad as it is.

Well the sad fact is that if you need to contact a shrink even once in your life you are above average mentally unstable and therefore IMO unsuitable for the job.
