On Fox News, Greta just reported that the NY Times is reporting that regarding the plane crash in the Alps, one pilot was unable to return to the cockpit during the flight.
I should clarify....the alert I heard at 8 PM Eastern time was on FOX Radio.
no silly it was workplace violence..
move along nothing to see here...
The odds of a pilot having a heart attack just when the other pilot's in the john are pretty slim. Possible, but pretty unlikely.
They need to thoroughly vet all pilots. Check them out at least once/month. Including their physical health. I’m sick of this.
Outside of possibly cell phones, do flight attendants/pilots have a way to contact ATC without being on the flight deck?
Bttt
Is the NY Times a credible news source?
Why should a pilot have to leave the cockpit in the first place??? That’s just asking for trouble, on so many levels. And if there isn’t a small toilet in the cockpit, there should be.
why didn’t he Kamikaze it into a stadium or a large building..?
He didn’t PLAN it..?
They’ll use that —they’ll say:
“Hey, if it really was terrorism, why would his target end up being a SNOWY HILL, huh...?!”
Maybe he was on a time-table and he feared higher chance of SHOOT-DOWN..?
:/
you’re kidding right....
And you can bet, an autopsy is not possible, due to not enough of the pilot’s body left.
CNN (Anderson Cooper) debating why there is no camera in the cockpit.
[Libs have a love for cameras. They seem to think that is the answer to everything. Recall the same debate for police to wear cameras after Ferguson.]

A camera would probably not have changed anything that happened either in Ferguson or on the aircraft.
Pilot of doomed Flight 4U 9525 jet was ‘locked out of cockpit before crash’, black box recorder reveals
At some point during the flight, one of the pilots left the cockpit. It is not yet clear why.
The source said that the pilot who left the cockpit is then heard ‘knocking lightly on the door’ but there is no answer.
The pilot continues to hit the door with more force but ‘there is never an answer’.
He said: ‘You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.’
The only remotely Muslim pilot’s name I could find on the roster is ‘Tarek Elagamy’, Greenpeace activist.
“Why should a pilot have to leave the cockpit in the first place??? That’s just asking for trouble, on so many levels. And if there isn’t a small toilet in the cockpit, there should be.”
There isn’t a toilet in the Cockpit, certainly not on that plane, and I don’t know that any do have one.
The two Iranians on the plane were sports reporters covering soccer.
Wouldn't need to be sounds to indicate the pilot was active. The data recorder would show if there were actions were taken to pilot the plane. If there were, the pilot who remained in the cockpit was alive and well.
