I heard that the pilot on the outside of the door was at first quiet in his request to be let in and then he started shouting and pounding the door.
No response was heard from inside the cockpit.
>>A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information at the least: One of the pilots is heard leaving the cockpit, then banging on the door with increasing urgency in an unsuccessful attempt to get back in.
“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” The New York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”
Eventually, the newspaper quotes the investigator as saying: “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”
