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.

On another thread the are claiming this is not his facebook page.

Might be someone who is supportive of his actions.

[trisham]

It was my impression that it was not his page, but the opinion of someone else.

[mware]

I agree, just wondered if the page was taking some sort of credit for the attack.

In some cases involving red crescents and goat calls, the mental tests might be considered “raycis”.
I wonder about the guy at the stick and why names aren’t being released.

[bonfire]

Bastards!

[bonfire]

Or they are just using him to suit their cause.

[CaptainK]

He lived with his parents and officials are now in the process of interviewing them.

[trisham]

That’s possible.

[trisham]

Yes, that could be as well.

[csvset]

I wonder if he had a girlfriend? Just wondering. A loner might be easily swayed by someone to “join us”, we’re your true friends, **cough** Islam **cough** .

[Tzfat]

Possibly.

[trisham]

There are still plenty of unanswered questions.

[RummyChick]

A 28 year old pilot living with his parents.

Maybe he was gay.

[Tzfat]

Perhaps it was fiction, or more likely it just averaged it out. There are always significant gaps in those types of displays and web pages.

[bonfire]

People were heard crying before the crash. no words.....

I’ll buy Ford, a company that did not take bailout money. Mazda and some of the imports are good, but overpriced.
Good luck with that TDI, the engine will run until the cooling system craps out, or some other over engineered part fails for some poorly manufactured reason.

[trisham]

Yes.

[TomGuy]

I'll bet Lock mode can't be overridden from the outside.

Now, the debate of the know-all-newsie-commentators will be that they need a way to open the cockpit to prohibit such incidents in the future.

That, of course, would defeat the purpose of having the reinforced doors and lock-out feature.

[RummyChick]

I hope the parents tell the truth about their son. There is no salvaging his mass murder reputation.

Fox showed a picture of him, my first instinctual thought when I saw the pic was, he’s gay.
