The latest revelations over Germanwings flight 4U9525 crash have turned the focus on the pilots, but the German budget carrier has so far refused to identify them.

One of the pilots was locked out of the cockpit moments before the crash, the data from the cockpit voice recorder has reportedly revealed, placing the pilots at the focal point of the investigation.

However, the company has refrained from disclosing the identity of the pilots.

According to the New York Times , data showed the pilot inside the cabin ignored the appeals of his colleague to open the cabin door. As time lapsed the pilot tried to smash the door but failed to get through -- all this happening during the ominous few minutes before the crash that killed 150 people.

Robin declines to call the co-pilot’s action a suicide. “He had no reason to disable contact with other planes,” says Robin. His breathing was normal, Robin repeats. “We could hear the cries minutes before the plane crashed.

Co-pilot not known as terrorist

“I think he refused to open the door and turned the button to get down the plane. It was a voluntary action on the part of the co-pilot... He is not known as a terrorist, absolutely not.”

To inflict maximum terror on the infidels maybe?

I believe they knew this was suicide or jihad from the beginning. That is why they were so hush with names and you did not see the families of the pilot/co-pilot making statements. Those families were under lockdown due to the criminal investigation that started moments after the crash.

That tells me there MAY have been a suicide note or manifesto delivered that told authorities what really happened minutes after the crash.

I think it is why Germanwings pilots did a scattered strike yesterday because they knew one of the flight crew were the targets (pilot community is small and word spreads quickly)

Co-pilot not known as terrorist

Which begs the question 'well, then, how many known terrorists are still flying Germanwings aircraft?'

It can’t be terrorism. The White House was the first to say so.

over engineering is certainly a trait - and they do like to push the envelope - as in the Zeppelin.

They did produce the world’s best rockets - our space program was started by German rocket science. They produced the first jet fighter...had they done it sooner the world might be a very different place.

And for hoots, they still produce Audis, Mercedes, VW, BMWs - some of the worlds finest vehicles.

Nope, that guy is a lawyer.

Psst. Google translate works fairly well on simple webpages like this.

Three possibilities as I see it:

1- EgyptionAiresque Jihadi Moment

2- inadvertent locking of the door and then the pilot has heart attack or stroke

3- Some kind of blackmail (we’ll kill your family if you don’t comply) possibly by the Russians who wanted one of the passengers dead and the act of murder murky and unclear

In my mind, #1 is most likely, #2 is less likely, #3 is least likely.

Germanwings Co-Pilot Named as Andreas Lubitz

FRANKFURT—The co-pilot of the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps on Tuesday was Andreas Lubitz, 28, of Montabaur, according to a flight club where he was a member.

“Andreas became a member of the club as a youth to fulfill his dream of flying,” the LSC club said in a death notice on its website.

“He fulfilled his dream, the dream he now paid for so dearly with his life,” the club said. It said he was the co-pilot of the flight. A member of the flight club identified him to The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

Authorities are currently investigating what caused Flight 9525 to crash en route from Barcelona to Düsseldorf with 150 people on board.

The co-pilot caused the crash, most likely a terror planned event. The co-pilot only had about 700 flight hours and had recently graduated from pilot flight training academy. I doubt, very much that this was a personal suicide. Not a word was spoken by the co-pilot during the tragic descent. He was as cool as a cucumber,and as focused as could be!!! This was a highly trained and calm terrorist taking his own life by choice, while taking 149 “Infidels” with him!!!

It’s time for Lufthansa to reveal all it knows about this horrible, evil, murderer fo scores of innocent souls!!! God help the entire world....POTUS, Obama certainly will not...he is too busy joining hands with Iran and his beloved Muslim Brotherhood brethren!!

28 years old is kind of young for a pilot to an airlines isn’t it?

The press conference said the co pilot was in the cockpit. Just repeated now.
