More and more details about Andreas L, "the co-pilot who committed
suicide, and took 149 innocent people with him" are revealed. Neighbors
and acquaintances are starting to talk to the press. It turns
out that Andreas L was for at least 18 months under psychiatric treatment. At
dome time, he was even committed to a mental facility for further treatment.
Neighbors also told the press that the co-pilot was depressed for several years
now. A broken off relationship with his girlfriend could have been the trigger
to commit suicide.
What exactly is on a suicidal person's mind? Sadly, no one knows, not
even the shrinks, and they treat people like Andreas L. Normally, if someone
wants to commit suicide, he, or she does not let the world know about it. It's
always afterwards that you hear family and friends say "I didn't know it
was that bad," or, "I didn't even know that he or she suffered from
depressions". Normally, when a person commits suicide, they do it in
silence away from the world. They don't take other people with them. So, I
don't think that this was an ordinary suicide. No, this was so much more.
It normally takes some time before someone commits suicide. It's not like
they wake up in the morning and think "hey, today is a good day for me to
commit suicide". Thinking, there's a lot of thinking going on before they
actually do it! Some plan ahead, and some just wait for the right opportunity.
What the co-pilot of flight 4U 9525 did, doesn't look like a regular suicide to
me. Andreas L must have been full of anger, rage and despair to not only take
his own life, but take 149 innocent people’s lives in the process.
I think that for Andreas it was clear that he would kill himself, it was
just a question of when he would get the chance. Also, I don't think that he
really planned it ahead to take down the Airbus 320 with on-board 149
innocents! My guess is that he got an opportunity and he took it, not needing
to think twice, after all, the decision was probably already made some time
ago. The opportunity came when the captain left the cockpit because he had to
go to the toilet. The police did a house-search and a rumor is that they did
find a farewell letter, but it's just a rumor, so far anyways.
The mind is beautiful, yet very complex, and hard to fathom, even for
specialists.

It saddens me every time
when I hear of someone committing suicide, I've lost acquaintances because of
it. I myself fought depression for most of my life, I still have difficulties
to think positive, so I know what I'm talking about! When I say that this wasn't
a regular suicide, then believe me that it really wasn't!
