ETA: 'heinous' has apparently been expunged from the original headline...

Killer pilot's ex-girlfriend says he shared chilling prophecy before Alps crash and woke up from nightmares shouting 'we're going down'.
...

Lubitz was a tormented, erratic man who was a master of hiding his darkest thoughts and would wake up from nightmares screaming ‘we’re going down’, the former partner said.
...

The 26-year-old Germanwings stewardess, known only as Maria W, revealed to a German newspaper how Lubitz ominously told her last year: ‘One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it.’
...

His personal problems and erratic behaviour became so severe that the flight attendant decided to call the relationship off after fearing his increasingly volatile temper.
...

She said he had 'never really' spoken to her about any illness but had told her he was getting psychiatric treatment.

She added: 'The torn up sick notes make sense now to me and were a clear sign that he did not want to admit that his big dream of flying as a captain was over.'

Wow, just wow. Lufthansa must be soiling their collective uniform trousers as we speak. The revelations just keep getting more and more damning.

How about that right to mental health privacy? The 'honor system' really worked a treat here!

And yet, there are still many on this forum who would contend that this guy had a complete right to medical privacy and that his mental health should not be highlighted.

Go argue that with the hundreds of grieving family members and friends.

Hundreds of lives destroyed because of this guy's twisted delusions of grandeur--delusions that were not legally bound to be reported to his employer.
