"The crash was deliberately caused by the first officer, Andreas Lubitz, who had previously been treated for suicidal tendencies and declared unfit to work by his doctor. Lubitz kept this information from his employer and instead reported for duty. "

Fascinating read. Thanks.

If this type of thing really interests you and you want to go on a wild ride, check out season 2 of nathan fielders's The Rehearsal. You dont need to watch s1.

That's the worst case scenario? I can always construct worse ones. Suppose Donald Trump goes to a bad therapist and then decides to launch nukes at Russia. Damn, this therapy profession needs to be hard regulated. It could lead to the extinction of mankind.

Doc: The encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the spacetime continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localised, limited to merely our own galaxy.

Marty: Well, that's a relief.
