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”.

But, I expect to see more gov’t control and regulations proposed as a “solution” to the problem.

Of course: more government. Clearly there's too much freedom, or this wouldn't have happened.

“If I was the captain and realized what was about to happen I would have told everyone on board to go to the tail of the aircraft in order to shift the CG back toward the tail and disrupt the dive.”

A little aerodynamics / weight and balance lesson for you:

What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.

Of course if the Captain wanted to keep the passengers minds busy for a few minutes before their deaths playing musical chairs, then I guess that your plan would be beneficial....... sarc.

I know that! My reason for it is to throw the co-pilot off a bit.

That was a pant load...that cherry is lame. I do not thank you for having me add a “views” number bump to that crap.

he just set the elevation to 100ft, speed to max and sat there

autopilot would easily compensate for the slowly shifting weight of passengers passing through an aisle

“I know that! My reason for it is to throw the co-pilot off a bit.”

Considering that he was securely belted in his seat and an accomplished glider pilot with aerobatic skills, a spin probably would have been an enjoyable and thrilling way to dive to the ground for him.

Great video here!

I love gliding and soaring with the clouds.

Mandatory psych tests will accomplish nothing.

One person can lose their money, their family, have deaths of close friends/relatives and engage in psychological counseling and drugs but will never harm a fly.

Another person gets rejected for a date and drives a car into a crowd of people.

The Founders saw the secret....we are all individuals. One size never fits all, which is why socialism or medicine always fail. It is why we could all eat the same diet and we would still have obesity, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

Tap into the individual human spirit and embrace it. There is the solutions we seek.

But thanks to the media orgy, he has the attention he wanted in his spectacular death, and that will encourage another crazy person to begin planning their grizzly exit from the world’s stage. That happens when people no longer believe in Hell and God’s vengeance for evil, and just want to make the evening news.

Too, too true. The Second Amendment isn't the problem; it's the First.

There’s a lot of evidence pointing to Marilyn’s death being a murder and not suicide.
So 303 women killed themselves courtesy of the Kennedy brothers.

He was being diagnosed and treated extensively (a long period of time) for ‘clinical’ depression.

As I’ve said on the gun rampage threads, LOCK UP THE PSYCHOLOGICALLY DERANGED. Medication makes them pass for normal but they still are not functionally normal. If they cannot be held legally accountable for their actions then they require a legal guardian or chaperon at all times. Enough of putting them in positions of power.

The media LOVES a certain amount of chaos in the world. Look at the cable programming dedicated to chronicling the lives and murders of serial killers.

“What you suggest would cause a wing-stall and a quick rotate into a spin which would make the dive to the ground faster.”

Not if he told everyone to jump up at the precise moment
prior to the stall relieving their weight from the fuselage.
It would have given them time to open the door and get on the
wings so they could jump off just before the aircraft hit
the ground.

He apparently did this in order to make a name for himself. For this reason we should not mention his name. Just call him the Monster.

What was the speed at impact? Plausible to open doors & jump out?

What was the speed at impact?

I had read 430 mph - so fast that the aircraft was virtually pulverized upon impact.

Plausible to open doors & jump out?

No.

.....assuming we can trust the governments putting out this “information”.....the same governments that assured us the Malaysian airliner would “be found soon”, that “terrorists are on the run” and that “personal freedoms would be secured”.

Color me skeptical.
