Germanwings

[Ironcitysteelers]

Nothing on this yet?!

The co-pilot of the Germanwings plane that crashed in the French Alps this week appeared to want to "destroy the plane," Brice Robin, Public Prosecutor of Marseille, said today.

"The intention was to destroy the plane," he said, later adding, "Death was instantaneous."

Robin also confirmed reports about the pilot being heard on the voice recorder asking co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, a German citizen, to take over the controls, with a chair heard being moved and door heard closing.

The co-pilot, 28, was in control, Robin said, and the accelerated descent was made manually.

The pilot can be heard knocking on the door and asking over the speaker to re-enter the cockpit, but there was no response from the co-pilot, Robin said, adding that all was normal for the first 20 minutes of the flight, as the pilots communicated in a "amicable" way.

Maybe the co-pilot converted to Islam?

The man who murdered everybody aboard Flight 4U9525

Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz - pictured here on his social media profile - is not known to have any links to terrorism

The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings Airbus A320 locked his captain out of the cockpit before deliberately crashing into a mountain to 'destroy the plane', it was sensationally revealed today.

French prosecutor Brice Robin gave further chilling details of the final ten minutes in the cockpit before the Airbus A320 plunged into the French Alps killing 150 people.

Revealing data extracted from the black box voice recorder, he said the co-pilot - named as 28-year-old German Andreas Lubitz - locked his captain out after the senior officer left the cockpit.

At that point, Lubitz used the flight managing system to put the plane into a descent, something that can only be done manually - and deliberately.

He said: 'The intention was to destroy the plane. Death was instant. The plane hit the mountain at 700kmh (430mph).

'I don't think that the passengers realised what was happening until the last moments because on the recording you only hear the screams in the final seconds'.

Why fly it into the side of a mountain instead of urban area?

I think it's just a case of airline pilots being the new postal workers.

There was one Muzzie pilot who drove his plane into the Atlantic Ocean a couple years ago.

We know one of them was locked out of the cockpit when the plain was being taken down. The question is who was in the cabin and why was the plane taken down? Suicide? Terrorism? Other?

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

They said, pilots over their do not have the mental health screening like we do for hire. They also do not do the "must have two" in cockpit at all times policy. So one leave to piss and flight attendant must go in.

Germanwings plane crash: Co-pilot 'wanted to destroy plane'

The co-pilot of the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps, named as Andreas Lubitz, appeared to want to "destroy the plane", officials said.

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, citing information from the "black box" voice recorder, said the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit.

He intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out.

Mr Robin said there was "absolute silence in the cockpit" as the pilot fought to re-enter it.

He said air traffic controllers made repeated attempts to contact the aircraft, but to no avail. Passengers could be heard screaming just before the crash, he added

Lol. Maybe they can't! Lol.

He might have been a terrorist.....he did his training at an American flight school.....

Did he skip class the day they taught landings?

You'd think there'd be some way for the pilot and co pilot to reenter the cockpit. Not incredibly unrealistic to imagine a scenario where both are accidentally locked out.

There is a system in place. The pilot can access the cockpit by punching in his security code. If there's no response from within, the door opens automatically in 30 seconds (with the code). The only way this doesn't function, if someone inside manually flips a switch to override the door access. So the co-pilot had to consciously make that decision that he wasn't going to let the pilot back in. Which is pretty ****** up, and as we're now finding out, all signs point to the guy purposefully setting the plane on its descent, full speed into the side of the mountain. Such a shame, 150 innocent lives lost, all because of a crazed mass murderer. Damn.

Lmao. "Dude what you doing out here, I thought you were driving. No you said you were". Lol.

Thanks.....seems that system needs to be re-thought.

 

[Tibs]

Yup, you would think with all the brainiacs involved with developing these systems, it would have occured to somebody, anybody, what happens if one of the pilots left alone in the cockpit turns out to be the bad guy.... and now he - and only he - has full control to access the door. Total fubar situation, but one that should have occured to the engineers, security officials. Oh well, I reckon they'll come up with something after this tragedy.

 

[Tibs]

From 3:56 illustrates this situation...

TV this morning said that in the U.S. when one pilot leaves the cockpit another crew member is required to go in, even a flight attendant is okay. That is not always the case in other countries, as is mental health screening for pilots.

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

I was talking with a co-worker today and think there's a reasonable solution. Maybe expensive, but reasonable. You have a bathroom in the cockpit. This is the 5th time now since 1994 that a pilot has intentionally crashed a plane and killed everyone on board. Worth the expense.

As most of you probably know, in the front of these Airbus planes, there is typically a restroom just outside the secure door to the cockpit. If you're in the cabin, facing the cockpit door, it's to the left, and the forward galley to the right. Enlarge the cockpit to enclose that toilet into the cockpit area. It's the pilots', end of story. Put a small refrigerator in there with water and sodas for them. Lock them in. No coming out. Always two inside.

After 9/11 they retrofitted every airplane with secure doors. Now retrofit them by expanding the cockpit and enclosing the fore toilet inside the cockpit.

And for those customers too bothered to walk to the restrooms at the rear of the plane, tough ****.

By the way, why hasn't Elfie been along to say that everyone on board probably deserved it because the plane probably was carrying a lot of Christians?

 

[Stewey]

Should be male attendant. A female attendant could easily be overcome and put out of commission by a pilot determined to murder everyone on board.
Was that sexist?

That idiot is probably waiting to find out if the co-pilot was a Christian....that would even things up.

Islamic convert I'm guessing.

Or she could blow him and that could solve everything. Was That sexist?

I dated two flight attendants when I was single. They were both in the upper right quadrant of the hot/crazy matrix. One of them was a redhead too. Best sex I ever had though.
