Why? It's something that happens on occasion, it makes sense that it happens on occasion, this guy has a clear history that leads to a potential explanation for why it happened now, the evidence is right there, and there isn't a clear alternative. Where's the fishiness?

I think he confused the black box with the alleged cellphone video, all those things he talked about is what cnn said was on the video

The black box transcript of the final minutes of the doomed Germanwings flight can be revealed, in which the frantic captain is heard screaming at co-pilot Andreas Lubitz to “open the damn door!”

Captain Patrick Sondheimer pleaded with Lubitz to unlock the cockpit door before taking an axe to it in a desperate attempt to stop the plane crashing in the French Alps, according to records published by German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

Minutes earlier he was heard telling the less-experienced pilot that he was going to the toilet, saying "you take over". After the pilot knocked on the door to be let back in, the aircraft began a sharp descent and automatic alarm signal sounded.

Passengers are then heard screaming.

Capt Sondheimer would never receive a response. Lubitz, who deliberately flew the aircraft into a mountainside ravine, would remain silent.

The transcript, which has yet to be publicly released, was taken from the cockpit voice recorder, which captures up to two hours of the pilots’ conversations as well as other cockpit noises.

It came as it was reported that Lubitz was treated for problems with his eyesight that might have threatened his career as a pilot.

Lubitz, 27, was suffering from “vision problems” which may have compounded a psychiatric condition from which he had suffered for at least six years.

Nah, there were two magazines (Bild (German) and Paris-Match (French)) that apparently had a cellphone vid. But from the latest developments, it was a 15 seconds vid from another plane that somebody from 4Leaf posted as a 15sec vid from the Germanwings plane.

The second black box - the one that shows flight data - has now been recovered as well:

The second black box found after the Germanwings plane crashed into the French Alps last month has confirmed that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately caused the disaster, French investigators said.

According to the investigators, he repeatedly accelerated the airline as he crashed into a mountain in the French Alps killing 150 people.

The French BEA crash invesigators said in a statement that the pilot changed the settings to increase the plane's speed.

"A first reading shows that the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to descend the plane towards an altitude of 100 feet (30 metres). Then, several times during the descent, the pilot changed the automatic pilot settings to increase the aircraft's speed," BEA said.

The information from the flight data recorder comes a day after authorities found the second black box, nine days after the crash.

BEA added that they were "continuing to determine the precise sequence of events during the flight".

The plane smashed into the mountains last week at a speed of 430 miles an hour, instantly killing everyone on board - half of them German and more than 50 fromSpain.

The latest development in the tragedy came on Thursday with the discovery that Andreas Lubitz had sought information online about suicide and cockpit doors.

Other facts that have come to light include that the 27-year-old was diagnosed as suicidal "several years ago", before he became a pilot.

Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, has come under huge pressure since the crash after it was revealed that Lubitz had told his bosses that he had suffered from severe depression.

The German flag carrier said the co-pilot had told the airline in 2009 about his illness after interrupting his flight training.

Doctors had recently found no sign that he intended to hurt himself or others, but he was receiving treatment from neurologists and psychiatrists who had signed him off sick from work a number of times, including on the day of the crash.

Police found torn-up sick notesduring a search of his apartment after the crash.

The first black box suggested that people were only aware of what was to happen to them in the final seconds.

However, French and German media claim to have seen a video purportedly showing the final moments aboard the doomed airliner, which they said was shot on a mobile phone that somehow survived the crash.

The purported video reportedly shows a chaotic scene with people screaming "my God" in several different languages.

Speak on it breh. Thoughts..?

 

[Klyk21]

2 people in the cockpit at all times is not the solution. For aircraft that only require 2 people to fly the plane, what happens when one has to use the bathroom?

A bucket??

Yes!
Get in where you shyt in pleighboi

Man, dude had seen a hell of a lot of doctors. Reports of the psychological problems and the vision problems appear to both have been accurate.

A number of doctors who treated the Germanwings flight 4U9525 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz felt he was unfit to fly but did not tell his employers because of German patient secrecy laws, a French state prosecutor has said.

Lubitz, who is believed to have intentionally crashed the plane into the Alps, killing all 150 people on board, saw seven doctors in the month before the 24 March crash, including three appointments with a psychiatrist, said the Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin.

Robin, who is leading a criminal investigation into the crash, said some of the doctors felt Lubitz was psychologically unstable, and some felt he was unfit to fly, but “unfortunately that information was not reported because of medical secrecy requirements”.

In Germany, doctors risk prison if they disclose information about their patients to anyone unless there is evidence they intend to commit a serious crime or harm themselves.

Robin also said Lubitz, 27, had vision problems and feared going blind. He said Lubitz was afraid his vision problems would put his job at risk.

Robin disclosed that Lubitz saw 41 doctors in the five years before the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed.

He said the investigation so far had “enabled us to confirm without a shadow of a doubt” that Lubitz “deliberately destroyed the plane and deliberately killed 150 people, including himself”.

Investigators say Lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and flew the plane into a French mountainside, after having researched suicide methods and cockpit door rules and practiced an unusual descent.

The prosecutor has upgraded the investigation from a preliminary inquiry to a fully fledged manslaughter inquiry, which means the case will be passed to French investigating magistrates who can file eventual charges against people or entities.

Stéphane Gicquel, head of a disaster support group, who attended a meeting between French officials and the victims, told AFP that the “stakes” in the expanded inquiry were to find out if there had been errors or negligence in tracking the mental state of the co-pilot, who had a history of severe depression.

Gicquel said the families were shown three different reconstructions of what had happened in the cockpit.

Several expressed their anger at a delay in the return of their relatives’ remains after spelling errors on death certificates.

The mayor of the French village of Prads-Haute-Bléone, near the crash site, said there had been slight spelling errors “of foreign-sounding names” on several death certificates.

Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, said: “The repatriation of victims’ remains will continue over the next few weeks and should be finished by the end of June.”

Investigators last month finished identifying the remains of all 150 people aboard the flight.

The German lawyer Peter Kortas, whose firm represents relatives of 34 victims, told Associated Press that negotiations with Germanwings about compensation began several days ago.

The first burial is expected on Friday. Nearly half of the victims were German, 47 were Spanish and there were victims of 17 other nationalities.
