No doubt there is special Kamikaze insurance needed to cover this.

I'm sorry, this is a terrible thing that happened, but who said the Swiss have no sense of humor?

Who said bunkers basements are worthless...?
Schmidt's body was later found in the rubble of the house. His mother Rosemary, 68, only survived because she was in the basement at the time of the suicide attack, and is being treated for shock.
Mind you, if not, she could have been in bed dying with flew !

| | | | | Yeah, funny, but only in English. I can't figure any way to make it sound funny in Swiss German.
Which -- again -- proves that the Swiss have no sense of humor.

Am I the only one who find it just sad and not funny at all? And mexicans do have great sense of humor but tragedy doesnt go with it.

The UK paper also said that they had a conversation before the crash. However swissinfo has police saying that the mother and son did not in fact talk to each other before he crashed. They are also condemning all the speculation.

To launch speculation about what may have been a harmless call to the meteo-service for example indeed does not make much sense.

Bit of a waste of a perfectly decent DA-42 Diamond. Nice airplane, flown in a couple myself.
