A guy over here also did the same thing: he claimed that her sister was in the flight, Germanwings' Twitter account sent to him the phone numbers for help and many people sent him their condolences... needless to say, he was (is) a big piece of shit.

I'm sure there were people making fun of the Titanic or Hindenburg disasters back when they happened. It's just that the internet's given those people a louder voice with a longer range.

I'm not providing excuses. I'm just saying that the internet hasn't necessarily caused this type of "too soon" humour, just widened its reach.Nomis1700 wrote:Weak excuses.darthnazgul wrote:I'm sure there were people making fun of the Titanic or Hindenburg disasters back when they happened.

Uh it's not like it's really that offensive, it was just some dumb baneposting, not like it's really insulting to the victims can't help if DM and other online news sites are dumb as fuckRuth wrote:I know DM is a funny shitfest, but since when this kind trolling just days after a tragedy like this is funny and acceptable?

holy fuck.. Honestly, this might sound cruel, but if he wanted to kill himself, he should've done it alone..
The fact that there was no distress call on that flight me me suspicious right away. Also, the fact that it descended at 4,000ft a minute as opposed to the normal 1,400 ft a minute immediately suggested that something wasn't right. Seeker, you may say that wasn't alarming, but it clearly was. The Co-pilot/murderer put the auto pilot on and programmed the plane to plunge at a shocking rate. The sad thing about it is that the passengers had no clue what was going on until the final moments before impact, as they said they heard people screaming just before it crashed.
Horrible, horrible story.
