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.

I guess he was fond of San Fransisco.

No, it is almost identical to US 427 in 1994. A vertical impact, no spread in the direction of flight.

If a French fighter watched this impact, the French have known since the first day that it was intentional because this aircraft did not hit in a shallow descent. It hit in a vertical dive.

This thing really hacks me off. If he wanted to kill himself he could have done it without destroying the lives of so many.

Maybe he knew he was about to be canned and wanted revenge.

Fine. Suit yourself. Drive union thug government motors crap if it makes you feel patriotic (altho supporting unsustainable unions and government bail outs is really the opposite of patriotic.)

No, I don’t drive a German car, but I have considered them before and will again with my next purchase. The TDi diesel technology is astounding.

With the official story..was there enough time for them to scramble a fighter jet to be flying along side the plane?

Sounds like that speed/altitude chart that was posted was fiction.

Sickness, love life gone wrong or unemployment are three things that could set a person off.

I would say he just has the European look except posing in front of that bridge might have been a statement.

Or not.
Clearly, he was jacked in the head.

Did this all happen in 18 minutes and if so is it possible to get a fighter jet to their location that quickly?

Tz, you have been a wealth of knowledge on these threads and I thank you. I will however differ with your opinion about the final moments dive. I’ve worked in mountainous regions all my life and it appears from the photos of the crash site the terrain is incredibly steep, well over 100% grade (45deg) near vertical. Flying into those rock faces even at a low angle into that granite would produce the apparent result

That facebook appears to have just gone up today. Probably bogus.
