I will never forget that day. I was cabin crew for a British airline at the time and on that day, we were on the stand right next to the German Wings aircraft. We even followed it to the runway and took off just after it. We learned of the crash when we landed back in Gatwick. We speculated about what may have caused the crash, not for one second thinking it was deliberate. When the cause was announced, it literally shook all of aviation to the core. As cabin crew, we trust our pilots to keep us all safe and together, we are like family. To think that one of the people we trust so much would do that, was unimaginable. I, and many other of my colleagues were so deeply shocked, how could he have done that, not just to his passengers but to his fellow crew?

I not a pilot myself, however from the many report I have read i can say that the better a crew is the more they will trust each other in the most dire of the situations. And even crew that do no know the other will trust each other to have their safety in mind. While this is not the first time a crew member has betray their crew (Federal Express Flight 705). It sure was horrific.

I deeply resonate with this as a passenger. No other airline crash disturbed me as much as this one. The amount of power this man had and the darkness associated- to commit suicide and kill that many people? Deeply troubling. My flight anxiety is still higher because of this- I can’t imagine for flight crew.

[@harveycai629]

This was one of my study cases for my flight class to showcase why mental health was such an important aspect in aviation, as it is the second most common reason why pilots lose their license, the first being cardiovascular issues. Amazing video, keep up the great work.

[@SuperCatacata]

Unfortunately this was more than just some regular case of depression. You need to have some very big issues to become a mass murderer like this. Not sure this makes for a good example for your class because it's so extreme IMO. It's such an outlier that it loses all meaning. 99.99% of pilots struggling with mental issues aren't going to do what this first officer did.

[@icravevtec]

⁠​⁠@@SuperCatacataand you’re very right. The real question is, what could have been done to prevent this situation? What could have been done to understand this F/O’s situation? This is why attention to mental health is very important, to try and address these things before it’s too late. You may say, “It was too late for him.” When did it become too late? What happened that triggered it to become “too late?” What experiences did he have throughout his 27 years of life that triggered him to do the terrible thing that he did? Understanding that can allow us to understand each other and maybe, just maybe, be able to not create another person that will do the terrible things that he did. 🙏🏽

Miss Cerzek, one of the two young spanish teachers on that flight, was my spanish teacher at Joseph König Gymnasium - even though i was constantly getting graded 4 (D) - she was the best teacher i ever had on that school and she did everything to not let me fail that class. She was such a nice person in general and such a good teacher in particular. I remember her teaching us the use of the verb "gustar" with the song "Me gusta" from Manu Chao. I didn't know that band and still listen to them today and even bought their records on vinyl. The one thing that really bothers me is that one of the lyric lines is "Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tú" wich translates to: "I like airplanes, i like you".

Yet I understand why the flaw existed, after all in aviation trust is not in question as much it is on military or banking. His point on doing this, if you ask me, was to shown the flaw he found and in the process be know around the world. That is what I kinda got after reading on the new papers at the time.

[@Muhammed_English314]

Just because the chances are very low doesn't mean it can't happen to you. I'm not saying that people should stop flying, it's just that this low probability argument is meaningless. Instead, one should just accept that just like Genghis Khan died after falling from his horse, you can die from a plane crash. Life has always been high-risk high-reward. Edit: many people missed my point so let me clarify. I'm only talking about the annoying misbelief "if something bad has a very low chance to occur, then we are safe". Also, If they have read the last paragraph carefully, they would have realized that I encouraged facing death rather than being scared of it.

The fact that the existence and purpose of the mechanism makes complete sense adds an extra layer of tragedy to this. Rare as cases like this may be, it could certainly do with improvements, such as perhaps requiring a unique code from both pilots instead of just one. Of course, even that solution isn't perfect as it leaves the cockpit vulnerable to hijackers while a pilot goes to the bathroom, as happened here. But that idea took me 5 seconds to come up with, so there must be _something_ that works after further thought.

Maybe but I think the video encourages us to think a bit more deeply about where responsibility lies, who we expect to take responsibility, whether we punish them if they are then incorrect, and how legal and cultural factors get in the way of the ideal of people being open, honest and responsible all the time. You're a pychiatrist, you have to balance the responsibility to share information with relevant authorities if you believe a patient may harm themself or others with the responsibility to keep information confidential if a patient poses no harm. A psychiatrist who breaks this confidentiality without good reason risks losing their career. It's easy to say now that they did have good reason and should have broken confidentiality, but were they confident enough in their assessment that he shouldn't be flying to risk their whole career over? Hindsight is 20/20 right? If one of these doctors had spoken out and the pilot had been grounded, we would never know what he had planned to do so whose to say the doctor's career wouldn't have been ruined despite being right.

American media had an issue with only really focusing on the name of the murderer when someone commits something like a mass shooting. So now you have idiots that commit mass shootings with the idea that it'll get people to notice them. I think people have learned from this, and so, try to focus more on the victims and their families.

[@randomplayer469]

I believe the FAA was more at fault here then the pilot, I am not trying to justify the pilot’s actions or belittle the victims that died on that plane. The FAA was too lenient with him and swept his mental illness under rug, he lied about not having a mental illness on the psychological screening, in fear of his mental illness jeopardising his career and when caught admitted to having depression in the first place, yet he was still allowed to fly! he also appeared to be suffering from more than depression with his hallucinations, heck, maybe he was a psychotic homicidal killer.

[@salam-peace5519]

When this happened in 2015 it was all over the media in Germany for weeks. I remember this plane crash in particular being very shocking and depressing to me. I was imagining the passengers and pilot realizing what was going on and being unable to do anything about it. Especially because I had a school trip to London by plane 3 years prior it especially felt relatable when I heard that there was a school trip group on the plane. When it came out that the copilot crashed the plane on purpose it was especially shocking and scary, I think the feeling many people had after this was somewhat similar to how people felt after 9/11. Also, one of the worst horrors of plane crashes that often gets overlooked is all the workers who have to dig up the human body parts from the crash site for burial, this must be so traumatizing for them. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to leave the body parts buried in the rubble and declare the entire crash site a graveyard instead of traumatizing more people in the process of digging them up.

I think we are at a point in technological advancements now, where it doesn't seem unrealistic to develop a computer pilot which takes full control of the plane when it detects erratic and possibly crash-inducing behavior by human pilots. Unfortunately, this is a particular case which is impossible to fully prevent because you can never know what's going on inside a human's head. But the implementation of such a system (coupled with remote control technologies for the landing) can give the passengers and the rest of the crew onboard a surviving chance.

I remember when this happened. The pilot basically committed suicide, but decided to bring all those on board down with him. He makes any person who courageously battles mental illness or depression in private and wants to become a pilot afraid to go to a psychologist, because people will think he's gonna do the same. He ruined it for everyone.

[@IndieSamurai101]

Calling this a suicide is quite the understatement. It was a mass murder.

[@I_am_nobody999]

Nobody who is battling any sort of illness at all, mental, physical, whatever, should be allowed to be a pilot. The ability to kill hundreds, perhaps thousands of people with one poor decision or failure of the body is simply too much to risk. It sucks but it is what it is.

[@lprisco]

​@@I_am_nobody999 seems like a short-sighted, reactionary, and discriminatory approach since not all types of illnesses would affect one's ability to be a pilot. Its far too easy to stretch this kind of thinking into any profession where the person in question has some kind of power over another. Safeguards with redundancy are more important than blanket bans, because they don't address the underlying issue. It takes no fault away from the co-pilot to say that this was a massive systematic failure, ironically driven by the stigmatisation of mental health. Besides plenty of people who commit horrid acts don't have any illnesses.

@@I_am_nobody999 this way of thinking favors these kind of tragedies.. imagine you are actually mentally conditioned, you notice that and then are scared to notify any authorities. Instead of comdemning every pilot with depression, the right approach would be to actually encourage pilots with mental conditions to seek help. That help should not revoke their license and thus their lifehood. Maybe if Lubitz knew that getting help would not revoke his license, he would have seeked out for help and be treated. If the treatment is unsuccessfull, then you can revoke the license until he is well again or forever. Its important for pilots to have the same right for treatment as any other profession, because otherwise people will always hide their sickness in fear of losing their profession and lifehood.

For everyone thinking that this man killed himself and took 144 other souls with him because he had a depression: he may have had one, but the fact that he was seeing lights and was even diagnosed with an "emergent psychosis" says that at that point he was at the beginning of a Schizophrenia, which is a totally different class of mental illness. I've suffered from severe a Depression along with anxiety disorders through most of my teen years (finally recovered at almost 20), and i've got to say that it never even crossed my mind to take others life. When you are depressed, you can't really feel anything but your pain. Your world gets smaller, and you often have the feeling that you just want to disappear on the spot. But there is a clear line between wanting to end your own suffering and taking the life of others. A depression is about oneself, you don't want to damage others, instead just to end the pain inside. I feel really sorry for all the lives that were lost that day, i remember reading about it in the news when i was younger. I strongly encourage everyone who feels that something isn't right with their emotions to get help. It may sometimes feel pointless, but it is really worth, there is a way out. And while i appreciate the privacy laws we have here in Germany, there is a saying: your rights end when you (are about to) break the rights of others. The laws are clear in that regard, and i know that my therapist would have acted accordingly if i've would have expressed any intention of harming others, and i'm fine with how it is.

Regardless of the perspective, it's crucial to acknowledge that ending one's life in a way that involves strangers, traumatizes families, or negatively affects others is an act of deep selfishness. It's not about who gets triggered, but about considering the aftermath. If, hypothetically, someone were to take their life (which I strongly discourage), at least choose a method that minimizes the impact on loved ones and strangers alike. Let's remember the Germanwings flight incident - a painful reminder of the far-reaching consequences that such selfish actions can have on everyone involved.

[@purplecat1691]

I think its safe to say that the copilot was too severely sick to consider any of that, being extremely depressed, suicidal and also in the early stages of a psychosis. That doesn't change that he chose the worst way to go, taking innocent people to the grave with him. What the copilot did cannot be excused, but I don't believe it is productive in any way to just label him as a cold-blooded and psychopathic killer. He desperately needed help, and both himself and the mental health professionals involved should have stopped him from ever being on that plane. This was an entirely avoidable tragedy.

I love the way that you told this story, you don't reveal everything upfront, you slowly reveal what happened

[@niklaso.012]

I love the hard work you guys are putting into your videos. From the voice to the animations to the context, everything is perfect.

[@Damic_Damic]

Still remember that news, horrible thing to happen and just remind everyone with mental health problems that please seek help and don't give in into those feelings. I know it's one of the best things I've done. While not knowing anyone on that plane, a colleague and friends of mine was on that exact route exactly one week prior. Gives you a chill on how easily life can be taken from you...

I wish the whole team of Simpli and Elmer a resounding success. Simpli and is one of the best educational we have on KZbin Germany. And Elmer's voice is just perfect for it. Finally there is a decent English version of this wonderful life's work, there is no other way to describe it. It is an unbelievable tragedy that happened there and it always makes you sad. These poor people had no chance. Thx Jonas, David & Elmer

[@xeniaer6555]

WOW! Simply didn't lie, your visuals are amazing, Elmer! Hopefully this channel gets the recognition it deserves, also on an international level. Stunning visuals, amazing voice and such a good script and writing, I need nothing else!💙

[@aqua7222]

Thank you so much for this collab! Love goes out to everyone!

[@Fili0706]

I remember this incident. We were talking about this in school the day after it has happened and it was really shocking. My parents cancelled our flight in summer too.

Great start into this new era. The insane quality of these two great canals combined has the potential to result in further peak level videos. Thanks for the collaboration and the courage to put that amount of effort and motivation into your videos, this is only rarely seen on this platform!!❤ Kuss

One of the first 10000 subscribers of what's inevitably gonna be one of the biggest short documentary channels on KZbin for the next decade to come. Proud of you guys :)

[@jol3p185]

Just for the record This ist going to be big and we are here in the first few seconds

[@atomhornchen7856]

Thought the same lol😂

[@glensiembida1888]

The fact that even though we all go through depressive episodes but you only have 2 chances caused this. If it was more helpful he'd get help.

[@potato2902]

What a brilliant video and build up of this story. I am not exaggerating i even shed some tears. I remember being a kid coming back from a schooltrip too by bus this exact day, when this was announced in the news. The amount of years i got to live now and these kids and passengers didn't is heartbreaking to me. Elmer, Jonas, David keep up the great work! You do a favour to quality content on KZbin. cheers!

[@therion4239]

Great to see you guys back in English, and with such a fantastic partnership as well!

[@Brian_DePalma]

This is a whole new level of visualization of the narrative. It's on par with high-end, high-cost documentaries. I'm in love damn...

[@julianosvonskingrad7009]

This still give me chills. A few days before, I travelled back to Hamburg. I came from Marseille, where this particular plane started to lose height.

[@Cuuurssed]

This video was suggested to me, I hadn't expected much because of the few subscriptions and views, but this video feels like it's ready for the cinema! I'm very curious how the future videos will be! keep it up!

[@idont_get_it]

One thought that came to my mind was that it's probably not good for future pilots to be afraid of being sorted out because of a mental illness they might have or have had in the past. For most people in this profession, flying is the absolute dream, and so some (like those on flight 9525) are willing to hide such mental problems. I don't know what the checks are like, but I suppose one can be careful about what to say and what not to say. Anyway, a great start for this channel, I'm excited to see what's to come :)

They should lock him in some insane asylum, now those people would be alive.

[@qwerty112311]

I’m sure many thousand pilots fly with depression on the regular and pose no threat. That isn’t to say it shouldn’t be addressed, but tens of millions of people live with depression and basically zero of them are killers. I don’t know that there is a right answer what to do here. Fire all pilots with a history of depression? No, because that will lead to pilots hiding issues. Let them fly as long as they are medicated? Idk. Assume they’ll not suicide the plane because there are a million other ways to off yourself without taking dozens/hundreds with you? Who knows. There will never be a silver bullet. Although this one was pretty egregious that the FAA allowed the guy to fly despite a history of unquestionable lying and not about his height or weight.

[@frostbitethefoxx]

Everyone, we must give respect to the crew and especially the pilot, the pilot tried his best to save him but most importantly the passengers.

[@itzbouncy8048]

I will never understand why someone would intentionally take all hundreds of innocent people with them to the grave. Even if in this mindset, If your gonna take your own life, only take your own life.

[@Wolfstone999]

That’s why I didn’t hate the person who stole that plane a crashed it into a island But I hate this person

[@PhilippPutzlow]

I remember that moment so clearly ... the news, suddenly silence everywhere , and the Chaos at the Airport with so many crying parents, grandparents .. I got off another flight, realizing that while i made it, 140+ didnt ... and i could have been just on that flight. After years of the incident, watching this puts so many tears back into my eyes ..

[@speediiiyt]

I am really glad to be here at the beginning of one of the greatest KZbinr collaborations of all time! I'm really looking forward to many more high-quality videos in the future! Have a wonderful day!
