Germanwings pilot was locked out of cockpit before crash in France
New York Times ^ | 25 March | Nikola Clark

PARIS — As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane’s descent and was unable to get back in.

“Too bad for the jihadi terrorism alarmists.”

You; nor anyone else; has any firm information on this person yet.
Waiting to get more detail on his background is the best course.

It’s perplexing alright at this point. It boggles the mind.

Got it, thanks.

In any event, it appears as though this was a mass murder event for whatever the motive.

It appears to be mass murder at the very least.

All that seems to be left is the motive.

We are not the ones who jumped to conclusions about Ferguson.

I understand that.

The press and others went with stories and witnesses that were not true, and muddled that situation in Ferguson to fit an anti police agenda. -Tom

Just spoke with a Friend who is conversant in French; she just saw an interview on FOX with a French Prosecutor who revealed (in French) that the Co Pilot of that doomed German plane was a Sufi Muslim, converted in Germany and a member of a terrorist cell associated with the 9/11 gang.
The Translator conveniently left that part out of the English translation.

If that’s true it would confirm my suspicions, as well as raise some salient questions;
If this dude was a know member of a terror cell, what the Gehenna was he doing aboard that plane, never mind in the cockpit??!!

Also heard on FOX that while this Saheed was in training, he took an extended sabbatical for some reason.
Gee; I wonder if it was during the Haj by any chance?

Did anyone else who poly-vues le Frace’ catch that interview?
Is it still up on line or has it been scrubbed?

Well, now we know more. The co-pilot intentionally set the descent after locking out the pilot.

Now the curious factor is the statement made today by the authorities

"He said Lubitz had never been flagged as a terrorist and would not give details on his religion or ethnic background."

The part about "not being flagged as a terrorist..." create speculation that that is precicesly what the authorities are considering right now. Those facts will certainly be revealed shortly so why the secrecy?

Even AP is fessing up now:

Alone at controls, co-pilot sought to ‘destroy’ the plane:

Possibly his sabbatical was to a ME country and that is when he was radicalized. The 600 hours flight time is very suspect to me, almost as though he was there to do exactly what he was supposed to do, as soon as he could before his religion was discovered.

My source said it was hard to understand the French under the Translators MISintrpretation during the FOX interview, but pretty sure he said the Co Pilot was a “SUFI”.
Isn’t that one of the more radical splinter sects of Islam?

Can anyone in here connect with French media and find out what we’re not supposed to know?

I’m beginning to wonder if that French Prosecutor who spilled the proverbial beans in his native language on FOX will be seen or heard from after tomorrow?

And we knew even less the other day, yet that never keeps the conspiracy theorists here from immediately screaming about Moslems. So tell that to those knee-jerkers.

At least I do not jump on it like so many here so anxious to pin everything on their biggest enemies.

I am still not convinced this is jihad MO. I already stated in that post the possibilities, yet you hone in on 1 thing.

I fully expected the name calling Islamic apologist trolls to pounce on me, and you sure don’t disappoint.

Just pure speculation, but if he was a German Muslim adherent with homosexual leanings the I’d imagine he was pretty conflicted and unstable. If that were the case you’d at least think Lufthansa would have a clue, but maybe they’re too PC.

I am not an apologist, just a realist. No one who knows me would ever say I apologize for Islam, and my temper flares every time. I hate it. One of the few who would say that. But legitimate problems get ignored and unaddressed if everyone cries wolf every time.

Not every tragedy is a Moslem. But every time, guaranteed within 5 posts, there they are saying it is so.

And who is a name-caller?

BTW, when did I pounce on you? I was replying to someone replying to my post, and it wasn’t you.

If the French prosecutor had said the copilot was a Muslim, it would be big news. Most likely your friend is mistaken in what he heard.

Well lookie here:

The co-pilot of the Germanwings Airbus was a convert to Islam

According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz.

Your article mentions Bremen’s mosque :

Islamic Center Raided by German Authorities in Bremen, Deutschland

The authorities have taken down his Facebook account. Before they did some people got info from it containing Friends or Favorites including an “adult” homosexual site called Man Country or something like that and there were other friends who clearly were gay. Someone once said, “Gays are always covertly hostile.” There is nothing more hateful or hostile than flying 149 innocent people into a mountainside.

The NWO protects Muslims and gays. I don’t suppose you will see anyone in the media say he was gay or that could be a cause of the crash and anyone who suggests that will be called hateful and homophobic.

The co-pilot had taken time off for depression, a common side effect of being gay. He was 28 and lived with his parents.
