Andreas Lubitz: Germanwings flight's last minutes revealed in chilling black box transcript

29 March 2015 By Alex Wellman

Patrick Sondheimer is heard screaming to his co-pilot "Open the goddam door" as passengers scream in the background

The dramatic last moments of the doomed Germanwings flight have been revealed in a chilling transcript of the black box recording that shows the captain screaming at Andreas Lubitz “Open the goddam door”.

Patrick Sondheimer, pilot of the traffic plane, is heard frantically pleading with the killer to let him into the cockpit, just seconds before crashing into the Alps.

Evidence: The Cockpit Voice Recorder of the Germanwings plane has shown the terrifying last moments of the flight

The recording is said to begin normally, with the captain apologizing to passengers for an almost 30 minute delay in Barcelona.

He then tells them he expects the flight to make up the lost time mid-flight to Dusseldorf.

Revealed in the German newspaper Bild, the recordings then show the tragic captain chatting with Lubitz for the next 20 minutes.

According to the paper, the killer co-pilot then tells Mr Sondheimer he can go to the toilet at any time – noting that he had not relieved himself at the airport in Barcelona.

A short while later, 10.27am, the plane has reached its cruising altitude of 38,000ft and the captain tells Lubitz to prepare for the landing.

According to investigators, the co-pilot’s responses are said to be “laconic”, with the 27-year-old using phrase such as “hopefully” and “we’ll see”.

Did y’all read the other articles surrounding this one on the website? One article states that his fiancé/gf is pregnant with his child. And supposedly they broke up (again) the day before the flight is also being reported.

Every copilot needs to have a kill switch embedded, so the captain has full control

Here is one: Laputan machine.

But of course your proposition suffers from at least one problem: what if it's the captain who is crazy, and not the copilot?

There is only one verifiably correct solution, and that is to remove humans from the control loop altogether. The cockpit is sealed and nobody ever enters there. The airplane is flown only by computers that are guided by ATC over encrypted radio links, but are perfectly capable of landing on their own at any airport in case of trouble. I understand that it will make some rare saves by human pilots impossible; however it will eliminate a much larger number of common pilot errors. Rare a pilot is skilled enough to land a damaged airplane into the river, and it is rarely needed; however there are many pilots who fail to visually land a perfectly good airplane in perfectly good weather for one reason or another.

Yeah, my mental timeframe on that would be mid-sixties to early nineties.

Thanks for your input.

“27-year-old...gay...serious mental health conditions.”

Not very long ago, before they were Mau-Mau’ed by the queers, psychiatrists considered homosexuality a serious mental health condition! I don’t know for certain, but I would speculate that prior to the above, a known homosexual would never have been allowed to fly a commercial aircraft!

The idea behind people in the cockpit being able to override security codes is to prevent someone in the aircraft cabin (pilot or cabin crew) from punching in the code under duress (i.e. torture or threats to passengers).

So, make it three codes: the pilots' code, the cabin crew's, and a duress code. Punch in the duress code, and the other codes stop working, and the transponder automatically squawks the hijack code.

Maybe the tradeoffs chosen in response to 9/11 are now inappropriate. Maybe suicidal pilots are now the greater threat. Other than the occasional nutcase, easily subdued by passengers and crew, have there been any serious attempts to take over a cockpit since then?

If more of these incidents occur, they will have air marshals on every plane with codes to override pilot attempts to lock themselves in.

There are still a bunch of pervert mental health disorders, the closest to faggotry is “gender identity disorder”.

The air-marshals should ride in the cockpit.

“But of course your proposition suffers from at least one problem: what if it’s the captain who is crazy, and not the copilot?”

The captain also has an electrode embedded with a micro detonator (controlled via ATC). In an event the captain kills the copilot and/or attempts to hijack the plane, the micro detonator swiftly takes him out. Then the plane gets in an auto pilot mode until a heroic passenger lands the plane (hopefully co-piloted by a hot stewardess).

Actually, with CAT V capability, modern aircraft do not need a pilot ... They are able to taxi, T/O, land and taxi back to the terminal w/o any human interface.

There really is no reason to have a flight crew, other than to give passengers some illusion of safety and comfort ... Yeah, that worked out really well.

Solution: eliminate human factor. Make all civil airliners fully automated. That ends the terrorist threat completely.

“27-year-old...gay...serious mental health conditions.”

yep- notice how the MSM is NOT going to mention ANY
of this- Homosexual/Bi sexual- that’s O.K.-

“may” have had mental disorder..?- but we won’t
tell you the EXACT cause- because of privacy issues-

guess what— the doctor-S,S,S- plural!- knew he was
un-stable- and there is NO doubt they were shocked
enough to tell him NOT to work- the doc’s should be
charged criminally

“It was also suggested that Lubitz - who had worked as a cabin attendant for nearly a year before being accepted for flight training - may have been teased by other pilot’s over his previous role.

A friend said: ‘His nickname was “Tomato Andy” - a reference to his past employment as a flight steward’. “

The media will be coming to the defense of the poor bullied little boy pilot as an explanation for his mass murder.

EXCLUSIVE: Twisted obsessions of killer in cockpit: Lubitz trawled ‘dark side’ of the web

KILLER co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was trawling suicide and gay websites as he spiralled into mental illness.

By James Murray and James Fielding
PUBLISHED: 00:01, Sun, Mar 29, 2015

A police source in Dusseldorf said: “We have a team disassembling his computer, and that of his girlfriend, because the information that we received was that he trawled the dark side of the web visiting, among other things, sites containing gay porn, suicide themes and sexual perversions.”

Lubitz also endured the nickname “Tomato Andy”, a German term for repressed homosexuals and a dig at his previous job as a flight attendant.

Reports have suggested he was troubled by his sexuality and also seeking treatment for vision problems. Last year he scared a girlfriend with remarks that showed his mind was in a dark and secretive place.

Germanwings kamikaze urged pilot to leave cockpit before crash

By David K. Li and Leonard Greene

The murderous co-pilot who intentionally crashed an Airbus into the French Alps last week, killing all on board, repeatedly encouraged the captain to take a bathroom break minutes earlier — so he would be left alone for his suicide plot, a new report revealed Sunday.

The chilling revelation came as it also surfaced that the doomed plane’s 149 passengers and crew were terrifyingly aware something dire was happening for up to eight minutes before the crash killed them.

Germanwings Flight 9525 had begun routinely enough on the morning of March 24. Before the plane took off from Barcelona, Captain Patrick Sondenheimer lamented that he hadn’t gone to the bathroom, according to Germany’s Bild newspaper, based on information from the flight’s voice recorder.

Deranged co-pilot Andreas Lubitz coolly told him to go anytime, sources said.

But Sondenheimer insisted on getting them to cruising altitude first — 38,000 feet — and then discussed their plans to land in Duesseldorf.

As the captain talked about the landing, Lubitz, 27, chillingly replied with “Hopefully’’ and “We’ll see’’ at different times, sources said.

At 10:27 a.m., after the plane reached its cruising altitude, Lubitz tried to push the plane’s captain out the door again.

“You can go now,” he said.

Another two minutes passed before the captain took him up on the offer.

“You can take over,” Sondenheimer eventually said as sounds indicate his seat being pushed back and then the cockpit door being closed.

It would not open again.

Almost immediately, the aircraft began its deadly descent.

"Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot of the Germanwings plane who deliberately crashed in the Alps on Tuesday killing 150 people, retweeted (actually looks more like shared on Facebook) the photo above, with the caption "A Germany in which religious feelings have more rights than the meaning of freedom - is not my Germany."
