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.

Nope. The official word is that it was an intentional act.

The co-pilot took all intentional acts to cut communications, override the door mechanism to keep it locked, put the plane into a dive and accelerated into the ground.

They don't dare. It goes against the political/cultural narrative, and they have proven it's death or worse to defy them.

The narrative must be supported at all costs! Only narrative stories are worthy of being repeated.

28 y.o. should rule out heart attack or stroke.

The 28 year old was the co pilot . He only had 600 hours in the air which would not qualify him in the USA.
The pilot was locked out.

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin has just named the co-pilot has Andreas Lubitz.

He says his nationality is German.

He doesn’t know his ethnicity or his religion, but says “I don’t think that’s where the answer to this lies.”

This is TERRORISM due to the nature of the act.

It just might not be Jihadi Terrorism.

Mr Brice confirms that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was definitely alone in the cockpit.

He says the families of the victims have been informed of all this.

They asked many questions, including international law about the pilot being allowed out of the cockpit.

I agree. Those last moments for the passengers makes it terrorism.

Post #61. Thanks.

I posted before I did much reading.

So now the only question is why.

“It’s now been confirmed by the French ministry that a French fighter plane was flying next to the Airbus right before it crashed.”

Also, don’t the terrorists usually start congratulating themselves by now?

In any case... we’ll see....but I am predisposed to consider terrorism.

There is a quick procedure to gain access if that happened. That procedure can only be overridden intentionally.

To recap, Mr Brice said earlier that co-pilot Lubitz directed the plane into the ground ‘voluntarily’ but the passengers only realised what was happening “in the last moments”.

“He took this action, for reasons we still don’t know why,” he said.

“We can only deduce he destroyed the plane. He voluntarily allowed the plane to lose altitude.

“I think the victims only realised at the last moment because on the recording you only hear the screams on the last moments.”
