The Germanwings air disaster on the front pages

A tragic event, a hair rising air disaster that took 150 lives when Germanwings 9525 crashed into a mountain in the French Alps.  Even more chilling yet, to know that the co pilot allegedly wanted to 'destroy the plane” and intentionally took it down.

This is the weekend edition of TheMarioBlog and will be updated as needed. Next blog post is scheduled for Monday, March 30

Update 2: March 27, 8:20, New York City

From the bild.de website

Air disasters always get a tremendous amount of coverage in the media.  When that event involves a deliberate act from a co pilot who apparently wanted to destroy the plane, take his life  and take everyone on board with him, then it becomes an unthinkable act.  These are difficult to cover events, as journalists and photographers must cover the story with dignity and respect for the victims and their families.

I will be updating this blog post thru the weekend as more pages emerge from around the world.

Below, images of Spanish newspapers covering a story that is quite local, since 38 Spaniards were on board the ill fated flight.
