“Tough but fair” according to the ARD-movie “the Terror”: a majority vote against the basic law – t-online.de

After the interactive Film, “Terror,” glowed the phone lines, Social media – and, of course, the heads in the case of “Hard but fair”.

The concept of the television in the evening:

“Hard but fair” for the best transmission time of the movie “Terror”.

He is based on the eponymous play by Ferdinand von Schirach, and of the fictitious air force pilots, Lars Koch, the shooting down of a passenger plane that was hijacked by terrorists.

as well As in the Theater could play to the audience at the end of the aldermen, and the guilt of the accused. In connection, the guests discussed with Frank Plasberg in the result.

pleaded The judgment:

The decision was in the height of surprise:, 87 percent for acquittal. In Switzerland and in Austria, the result was similar.

In the Theater decide to only around 60 per cent for the guilty verdict. Before the attacks of Paris, it was still less.

Background:

It is a Dilemma: it is Allowed to shoot down a German pilot of a hijacked plane, 164 people killed to save 70,000 in a football stadium? No, ruled the Federal constitutional court in 2006. A launch does not make the people of the machine “to the object only of the perpetrators”.

Thus, they would have taken away human dignity. However, the court ruled explicitly not the fault of the pilots concerned. Here is the theatre.

guests:

• Franz-Josef Jung (CDU from 2005 to 2009, the Federal Minister of defence)
• Thomas Wassmann (Major a. D.; former. Fighter jet pilots of the German armed forces; Chairman of the “Association of crews of jet powered combat aircraft of the Bundeswehr e. V.”)
• Gerhart Baum (lawyer, FDP-member; former. Federal Minister of the interior 1978-1982)
• Petra Bahr (theologian; design. Regional Bishop of Hannover)

The front of the course:

The poles were quickly clear: the tree was one of the plaintiffs, who had rode the judgment of the Federal constitutional court, for the finding of guilt. Young, however, held strong. He had characterized the debate as a defence Minister in 2006, with the comment that he would leave, citing a “over-legal state of emergency” bring down the plane. His reasoning: The people in the stadium also have a right to life.

According to the tree you could not know but even if not perhaps in the last second, the terrorists would be overwhelmed by the passengers. Tree, you can’t weigh human lives against each other. The majority of the viewers have voted “against the basic law”. According to Young Doctors weigh but, if you take for example the death of a baby in order to save the life of an endangered mother.

Between the fronts:

The level-headed Petra Bahr. She saw “a duty before the law and a moral debt”. So a bit of both. The movie will show Lars Koch, however, as a hero, and what influence the decision of the viewers.

the judge called it a “Usurpation”.

Wassmann, the constitutional court let “the pilots in the lurch”.

Himself would shoot the former fighter jet Pilot. “The Association of crews of jet powered combat aircraft of the armed forces” (the Association’s), the Wassmann chairs, advises its members not to perform such a command.

The opinions of the audience:

this time Were everywhere – an interactive dream. The spectators were not allowed to vote. Twelve of them had seen in the run-up to the Film and documented how they changed during the average three times their judgment. The Social media were overflowing. And even a man in the audience called out a question in the round – and got Plasberg prompt the microphone enough. The spectrum of opinion ranged from a Lars Koch as a “Hero” to “mass murderer”.

What was missing:

an issue was Different than in the movie, a question can hardly be in the Talk: Why has not been cleared, the stadium, which would have taken in the fictional story within 15 minutes – more than enough time.

What is:

The case of the air safety law is a moral and legal Dilemma. Therefore, the memory of a fun – mainly as an evening of TV that makes you Think-and the certainty of seeds, such like policy debates may have time and space. You are well prepared, everything other than boring!

The biggest round of applause:

Due this time of the ARD. Not only is a very entertaining TV movie. But also for a Wealth of background information in the network. There, you can not only see both versions of the judgment, but also in a short time a lot about the topic of learning.
