A spectacular way to achieve a goal.

We live in an age of celebrity. And notoriety, too. Because of the media. Think about it. The least of the nobodies. Can gain fame. With a single solitary act. No finer example. Than Andreas Lubitz. The co-pilot of the Germanwings flight. That Lubitz intentionally crashed into a mountain side. In the French Alps. Killing himself and the other 149 aboard. Indeed, a horrific calculated act. To make Lubitz famous. His picture on the front of virtually every daily newspaper in the world. And on every TV screen, too. There's abundant speculation. Over why Lubitz did it. I know why. Lubitz knew that when he left the world, everybody would know his name. Andreas Lubitz. The crazy guy. But in his mind, he wasn't all that crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing. Overnight, he would become the talk of the world. With everyone trying to figure him out. Well, I have him psychoanalyzed. He always wanted to be a celebrity. And he finally found a spectacular way to achieve his goal. --Jim Broede
