Co-pilot intentionally began descent of plane and accelerated.

"If this is a jihadist...why the gradually plunge?"

Yes. But, again why withhold the pilots' name for more than 2 days?

German prosecutors confirm only 1 Germanwings pilot was in cockpit at crash, but don’t know which it was - @Reuters

[cripplecreek]

Marseille prosecutor says it was intentional.

(From BBC presser)

[Sasparilla]

“Those Germans dont like to admit any kind of mechanical or engineering failure.” Failures like the Zeppelin or the Messerschmitt car?
Or, over engineering like the Royal Tiger Tank and other WWII armament?

DARIO LANDOLINA ‏@DARIOLANDOLINA 12m12 minutes ago Names of pilots rumored to be Patrick Sonderheimer with co-pilot Andreas Lubitz - No formal confirmation yet. #germanwings #4U9525

[RummyChick]

Please update if they give a reason WHY they say it was intentional.

[cripplecreek]

Co-pilot kept the door locked intentionally.

[Jonty30]

The co-pilot could only have locked the door to prevent the pilot from entering the cockpit. It wouldn’t have locked by itself.

[rovenstinez]

THERE has to be a reason the names have not been released. This causes suspect.

Crash by fatwa.

This is so idiotic.

The names: Ali Mohammed Sissi and Mohammed Crashna Woffafoo.

The news is out as I am typing this, I hear it on FOX news.

[cripplecreek]

Apparently what they’re getting from the black box is that the flight was being intentionally controlled by the co pilot including keeping the door locked.

If no response from the cabin, the door can be unlocked from outside but was overriden from the cockpit.

Costs for aircraft, fuel, parts, infrastructure are relatively inelastic. You get to be a low cost airline by hiring less qualified, often younger, employees who will take lower pay than their counterparts at higher priced carriers (I.e., Lufthansa). And Mohammedans will take less pay, particularly if their goal is martyrdom and not a career.

[CaptainK]

So Andreas Lubitz was the culprit.

[RummyChick]

No, there is more to the reason...such as...

Prosecutor says: Co Pilot put the plane into a Dive

[miss marmelstein]

The co-pilot took the plane down. The press conference this morning is refusing to identify the islam...er, co-pilot.
