The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 appears to have deliberately crashed the plane after he was left alone in the cockpit, according to a French prosecutor.
The captain was intentionally locked outside minutes before the A320 crashed into an alpine mountain ridge, French Prosecutor Brice Robin said Thursday. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, a 28-year-old German national, was silent throughout the plane’s descent and was alive at the point of impact, according to the prosecutor.
Mr. Robin’s conclusions are drawn from the plane’s cockpit voice recorder, recovered at the crash site in the French Alps late Tuesday and analyzed by French accident investigators on Wednesday.
The recording contains screams believed to be from passengers, once they recognized the plane was crashing.
Investigators are now exploring why Flight 9525 went into its unauthorized descent from its 38,000-foot cruising altitude with one crew member absent. The descent led to the crash about 10 minutes later.
French air accident investigators said on Wednesday they extracted information from the jet’s cockpit voice recorder. The recording contained voices and other sounds, said Rémi Jouty, director of France’s aviation accident investigation office, which is leading the probe. He added that there was no explanation yet for why the plane went down.
Germanwings, the low-fare unit of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, hasn’t disclosed the identity of the pilots....

He also is said to have attended a flying school in Arizona at some point.. wonder if it is the same one that some of the 9/11 murderers attended.. I think they were in Florida too.
Absolutely. The concern and questions revolve around his mental state, and how he managed to clear screening. IMO, the answer could very well be that he followed a religion that promoted death (Islam) and jihad. This would have no effect on his mental state or ability to pilot a plane. Reports indicate the cockpit recorder shows he did not speak during the final minutes of the flight. Is this the truth, or is the truth being withheld for political reasons? There was also a period during his training in which he was absent. What was he doing? The question I want to hear - was he a Muslim?
Yes, I too want to know ... Till they tell the truth we cannot believe them ...
Soutien à Andreas Lubitz, héro de l’Etat Islamique

the translation is :
Support Andreas Lubitz, hero of the Islamic State
Creepy.....
Could you please post the source URL for that ?
See 331
Got it - thanks
I don’t think it was the same school unless the old one was sold to Lufthansa. The school he attended in AZ is owned by Lufthansa.
I thought at first it might be an ISIS flag but you don’t need to send that for tests
Thanks, I’m sure they will leave no stone unturned.
Rumor posted in comments section after a yahoo article:
“This is from Rumor Control but they said that Lufthansa was conducting a investigation on him. Maybe he wanted to go out...with a little revenge.”
Also, found this: Daily Mail UK Andreas Lubitz had to STOP training because he was suffering depression and 'burn-out'. German police make 'significant discovery' at his flat

He is awful young to be flying that large a plane.. jmo.

Things hidden will come to light. See FRmail.
Article says the FB page was taken down, then put back up.
This all plays into how easy it is - or is not - to use, especially while seated in either seat.
It is a frequent subject in accident investigation - where are XXXX and could the person get it, or make a mistake hitting it, etc.
I don't know what you mean by "concierge engineering" — this is an airplane, not a hotel.
However, the video addresses your questions.
One interesting point is, the video claims the control module can optionally be mounted in the ceiling instead of the center console. Putting it overhead would obviously preclude an unconscious pilot from randomly hitting the Lock switch with his elbow or something.
And they are so perpetually pissed off at not being "accepted." I've seen and heard rumors of the most unbelievable things these homos in the airlines will do. One guy was called a fag by a first class passenger... before serving the guy's meal, he took the bread from the top of the sandwich and wiped it around the rim of the toilet seat. Fortunately, the other stew saw him and threw the sandwich away...then reported him and he was fired. But he had every intention of serving that sandwich to the man.
I've also been on a crew where the two pilots absolutely hated each other. (Not a gay situation.) One was a 'scab'--from 15 years before! It was the most uncomfortable situation I can ever recall, not to mention potentially dangerous. But it's not totally unheard of that two pilots are bickering in the cockpit.
I can just see something like that happening...and someone who is already emotionally unstable...taking it to this level of Drama Queen Rage. I also think if that turns out to be the case, we'll never hear another word about it.
