So if it was "unconfirmed" why did Der Spiegel magazine print it? Ah yes, sensationalism we'll sell more mags with this B.S. story. We really don't care about the distress we might be causing the families of the victims with rumours and half truths we just need to sell more mags so our profit margin will go up.
