It's hard to defend against someone who's snapped and decided to take his/her own life.

Why do hundreds of family members go to the scene of the accident? I notice this happens all the time in response to overseas tragedies. There's only small towns in the area, they can't get to the crash site, there is no hope of survivors, so why don't they stay home and wait for information? It puts such a burden on the local people to have to deal with huge crowds on top of the media.
Excellent observation. Maybe a need to get as close as possible to where they were last seen?.

You can't judge someone grieving a loss. It's a terrible feeling to lose a loved one and unless you're in that situation you have no idea what the urge is probably like for them. I feel sorry for the families and people on the plane who through no fault of their own were faced with a lunatic hell bent on killing himself and cowardly wanting to bring down others including children, sick, sick individual.
DUESSELDORF, Germany - German authorities found torn-up sick notes showing that the pilot who crashed a plane into the French Alps was suffering from an illness that should have grounded him on the day of the tragedy, which he apparently hid from the airline.
French prosecutors believe Andreas Lubitz, 27, locked himself alone in the cockpit of the Germanwings Airbus A320 on Tuesday and deliberately steered it into a mountain, killing all 150 people on board.
"Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors," said the prosecutors' office in Duesseldorf, where the co-pilot lived and where the doomed flight from Barcelona was heading.
"The fact there are sick notes saying he was unable to work, among other things, that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime, support the assumption based on the preliminary examination that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues," the German prosecutors said.

The hellish task of identifying 149 victims: 600 body parts removed from site as it emerges killer co-pilot's remains have already been found
A professor helping to identify 600 body parts belonging to the Germanwings crash victims said today he would be haunted forever by the grim task.
Remains of the 150 passengers and crew are being categorised after co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately flew the Airbus A320 into the French Alps. And Germany's most prestigious forensic scientist Michael Tsokos spoke of the work ahead as it emerged Lubitz's remains have already been found.
Investigators at the crash site have so far retrieved about 600 body parts and have managed to isolate 78 distinct DNA strands from the remains.
Some 50 bodies were identifiable visually, while many body parts were the size of a postage stamp - with the largest being the size of a suitcase.
