ABSOLUTELY. I wouldn’t want to fly with ANY Muslims aboard and no one should have to. Perhaps if enough people value their lives and demand such information the airlines will get the message. The only way ANY Muslim should be aboard a plane in this country is as DEAD CARGO-and even then I’d scan the body. And what about psych checks of pilots who have so many lives in their hands? Anyone do that, or is it a ‘protect each other’ pact thing that you can be a whack-job and no one is alerted? I say there IS an Islam connection, and if there is I would hope Germany acts to purge their country of all things Islam-any way they choose to.
Cell phones do not work until about 2000k feet. Not much time before the ground impact at 450+ mph.
That’s information I didn’t know. Thanks for posting it. I was wondering why no calls were made, and this is a plausible explanation. Unfortunately, from the voice recorders, we know that the passengers probably had an idea at the last minute.
I’m still going back to the military jet sightings in the very early reports of this crash. I suppose they could certainly have responded to this in light of the fact that the plane didn’t respond to communications. Wonder if we will ever have all the info. Also curious that the pilots and crew refused to fly the next day - wonder what, if anything, they know or sense and are not allowed to answer.
But the prosecutors tell us he was not a terrorist. This they know. Repeat, he was not a terrorist.
It says on there translated that it’s a humor page. It’s not a real FB page saying he was a ISIS guy.
Looking at a translated version, it says it’s a humor page.
Thanks. I hope they track down who posted it. That is terrible.
“I doubt this was an act of radical Islam considering such a large chunk of the passengers were Muslims.”
muslims never kill other muslims? News to me.
These sociopaths are angry and want to take others with them
Why not. He'd be doing them a favor getting them to Allah and their virgins quicker. Besides, they'd be heroes, too by being willingly or notaccompanying him on his jihad.
anyone who deliberately kills a Westerner is a hero to IS.
murder. Terrorism undoubtedly if just by his own insanity.
“Why would we not assume that the flight attendant called the pilot out, entered the cockpit and killed the other co-pilot and crashed the plane?”
We would have to assume the French authorities are lying about what is on the FVR.
His total stick time isn’t squat.
It’s not too far fetched ISIS will target fellow muslims. They believe certain Muslims have committed apostasy (which is a death sentence) by not following the Koran literally. Christians are supposed to be given a chance to believe their theology.
Interesting read:

“Muslim ‘apostates’ are the most common victims. Exempted from automatic execution, it appears, are Christians who do not resist their new government. Baghdadi permits them to live, as long as they pay a special tax, known as the jizya, and acknowledge their subjugation. The Koranic authority for this practice is not in dispute.”
Indeed, the recent mosque suicide bombings in Yemen that killed 137 people were carried out with the intention of “striking the den of Shites”
The one somewhat redeeming characteristic of Islam is the propensity of their various factions to target each other regularly thereby keeping their focus of everyone else for at least a short time.
“Cell phones do not work until about 2000k feet. Not much time before the ground impact at 450+ mph.”
Mine works just fine at 8000 feet in my glider
You’re special then, because the antennas I design are spread the signal mostly horizontally, not vertically. There is no reason to waste the power vertically, and every tower I’ve ever known doesn’t work that way.
