OK then, here's another...although the DM is often first off the mark

in breaking news situations, and political bias isn't really an issue here.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/27/germanwings-co-pilot-andreas-lubitzs-background-under-scrutiny

Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz ‘wanted to make everyone remember him’

Lubitz told his former girlfriend that he wanted to do something to ‘change the system’, Bild reports, as investigators find torn-up sick note covering the day of the crash

And another:

The Germanwings co-pilot who crashed his Airbus in the French Alps, killing all 150 aboard, told his ex-girlfriend that "one day everyone will know my name", according to German newspaper Bild.

FYI, Bild is a German tabloid that's being quoted by all manner of other 'serious' outlets.
