The World's a Rough Old Place.

On Tuesday (24/3/15) a GermanWings Airbus A320 en route from Barcelona, Spain to Dusseldorf, Germany crashed in the French Alps killing all 150 people on board. Initially I ruled out pilot suicide because I assumed that European airlines operated the 2 crew members of the flight deck at all times rule that is used in the US. Also that wasn't the sort of rumour I wanted to start without at least some evidence to back it up.

On Thursday (26/3/15) though French investigators confirmed that the aircraft's co-pilot had indeed locked the pilot out of the flight deck and deliberately crashed the aircraft. It has since been suggested that the co-pilot was suffering from some form of undisclosed mental illness at the time. As someone with extensive experience of mental illness (mainly other people's) this is the moment you would expect me to pop up and offer a more detailed explanation.

That more detailed explanation is something that the UK has been waiting the best part of 10 years for having subjected me to a medical research project on the subject without my consent. Over the years the UK has frequently expressed their displeasure at this research project's failure to produce results by talking in terms of delays to long suffering passengers - often airline passengers.

The first step of this research project was to effectively kidnap someone I refer to as my "lesbian wife" although I think bisexual is probably the more accurate term. Immediately prior to this I visited that lesbian wife in Spain where she was living at the time. Although she was living in Madrid my return journey involved me spending far too much of my life at Barcelona airport due to a diamond heist at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. Due to what they observed during this visit the Spanish have always been strong supporters of mine and opponents of the UK's research project.

Therefore it looks as though the Germans engineered this crash as a way to take Spain to task over its opposition to the UK's research project.

A key trigger is likely to have been recent medical tests that the co-pilot underwent which may have led to him believing that he was going blind and therefore would lose his pilots license. Although it was an extreme example carefully constructed by the UK people who saw "The Dress" as white and gold rather then it's actual colours of blue and black are less likely to be able to qualify medically as a pilot. Also my own eyesight is notoriously terrible.

In order to fully stick to the metaphor the Germans are likely to have faked the results of those sight tests in the way the UK has faked the results of numerous medical tests most noticeably my grandmother's diagnosis of dementia. However strictly speaking in that instance the UK simply refused to carry out the legally mandated medical tests before making that diagnosis.

After all it will hardly trouble the Nobel committee for medicine if I point out that the type of depressive psychosis that often leads to suicide tends to be a reaction to despair at being dis-empowered in some area of the patients life. The loss of a relationship such as a marriage or the loss of a job/career being the most common examples. A tiny minority of those affected will lash out by trying to exert control and therefore power over the people around them.

I should point out though that there is rarely much to be gained by trying to understand the thought process of a crazy person. After all the fact their thought process doesn't function properly is the main reason we consider them as a crazy person.
