    Official statement:

    Quote Details from the first report submitted by the French to the German government revealed that at 10.31am, the 24-year-old Airbus A320 left its assigned altitude and began dropping towards the ground at a speed of 3,500ft per minute, before smashing into a ravine at 6,200ft. The report said controllers tried three times on an assigned radio frequency to contact the pilots before switching to international emergency channels. No one answered and a French Mirage fighter jet was scrambled.
    Quote Controllers' attempts to contact pilots after radio silence:

    Air traffic controllers made several failed attempts to contact the pilots of the doomed Germanwings plane in the minutes after losing radio communication with the cockpit, an air crash report revealed.

    Germany's BILD newspaper published on its website details of the first report about the crash which it claims was submitted by the French to the German government after the disaster.

    It states: 'Normal operating conditions for the French air traffic control. All technical systems were in normal operation.'

    It corroborates earlier reports that contact with the pilots was lost at 10.31am, adding: 'Germanwings 4U9525 leaves its cruising altitude without informing French air traffic control and starts a descent at an average rate of decline observed by radar... of 3,500 feet per minute'.

    Air traffic controllers attempted to establish 'wireless connection on the operating frequency which is not answered' by the cockpit, the report says.

    Further attempts are made by radio contact on the international emergency frequency, but there was again no response.

    At 10.35am, air traffic controllers 'raise the internationally standardized 'emergency level' (DETRESFA distress phase) and contacts the national headquarters of the French search and rescue service.'

    One final and attempt is made to contact the pilots on the international emergency frequency a minute later, but that also fails.

    The Germanwings flight disappeared from radar at 10.40am at an altitude of around 6,200ft, the report states.

    Two minutes later - at 10.42am - air traffic control informs the national headquarters of the French search and rescue service about the loss of the radar target.

    Two military helicopters are sent in the direction of the last known location, but are unable to detect the aircraft's emergency transmitter.
    Quote The cockpit recording showed the pilots speaking normally in German at the start of the flight, the source said, adding that it could not be determined if it was the captain or the first officer who left the cockpit.

    They said he was breathing normally right up to the end.

    Added:
    The problem with the suicide theory is of course the need to wait for a pilot with a weak enough bladder to answer a call of nature on a ninety-minute flight, suggesting that the co-pilot had been biding his time over a period of probably several days. Whether this odd combination of spur-of-the-moment opportunism and patiently determined premeditation makes any sense in a suicide case is a matter on which even the professionals might not agree.

    new reg's needed ha!
    There should never be less than 2 crew in the cabin at any one time. If a pilot or co-pilot needs the loo then other crew member should sit in, that way if the pilot or co-pilot in the cabin has a health/incident (or bout of madness or mind-control etc) the other crew member could open the door for the pilot/co-pilot to return to the cabin!
    I'm a simple easy going guy that is very upset/sad with the worlds hidden controllers!
    We need LEADERS who bat from the HEART!
    Rise up above them Dark evil doers, not within anger but with LOVE

    Germanwings plane crash: Co-pilot 'crashed deliberately'

    27 minutes ago

    A senior French prosecutor has told a press conference that the co-pilot of the Germanwings plane which crashed into the French Alps appears to have done it deliberately.

    He described in detail what investigators had found on the cockpit voice recorder, saying that after the pilot left the cockpit to go to the toilet, then the German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz put the plane into an accelerated descent.

    He did not to allow the captain back inside the cockpit. All 150 people on board were killed.

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32064142

    It seems to be potentially, following the pattern I thought I might see, earlier.

    Another Merkel or euro warning, possibly to be spun into a "terrorists are everywhere!" agenda, for helping force paranoia into Europe, so they'll accept the yoke of having their affairs, directions, and outcomes......dictated to them by others.

    Sure, it all make so much sense...

    See, if I want to kill myself and all passengers and crew on board... so I make sure it takes as long as it can to get there... avoid any buildings and/or inhabited area because there is still some ethical guide lines left with suicides... and wait for that mountain to come right up... slow... steady... steady... keep calm... breath slowly... in... out... steadily... no panic nor excitement... steady... easy now... easy... here it comes... here we go!

    Another case of life copying fiction, i.e. fiction one step ahead? Les nouveaux sauvages, a movie shown at last years’ Cannes Film Festival, is about a psychopathic pilot who manages to fill a whole plane with people he has a grievance against before crashing it on two old people who are probably his parents.

    Personally I think a big factor could be antidepressants. I'm sure there are lots of articles out there such as below. I'd like to know what medication he was on or coming off (if applicable). Not read whole thread so apologies if mentioned already.

    This might be stretching it a bit, but here it goes...

    If this is Ukraine-related and was meant to be a warning (the flight number starts with 4U, as in «for you»), the following could be relevant if, lets say, a war with Russia and/or dictating european foreign policy is the wanted outcome, IMO:

    Mar. 23, 2015:

    Feb. 24, 2015:

    Quote The Ministers of foreign affairs of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine met this morning in Paris, in accordance with the decision made by the Heads of State and Government of the “Normandie” format a week earlier.

    We, the four Ministers call for the strict implementation of all provisions of the Minsk agreements starting from a comprehensive ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons.
    Feb. 2, 2015:

    Quote German Chancellor Rules Out Weapons Aid to Ukraine

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated what has become her mantra ever since Russian tanks, men, and materiel began pouring over the border into Ukraine last spring. “I am convinced that this conflict cannot be solved militarily...”
    June 24, 2014:

    Quote Spaniards often take a pacifist approach to the crisis (in Ukraine), ruling out any military response (and sometimes sanctions too) and emphasising diplomacy.
    Anyway, while this is going on, USA is backing Saudi Arabia in its attack on Yemen, where 137 people were killed and 357 wounded last friday.

    why not blame it on someone that is already dead... who's going to argue...

    explaining a misfired weapon system gets really messy dealing with the public...


    one question, if he was crashing the plane, why did he set off the signal...

    the other pilot never made it back into the cockpit to do it...

    Joseph P. Farrell weighs in with his high octane speculation:

    He reports that France has asked for US assistance, and he speculates that this is a message from the "Western Elite" to France and Germany to quit blocking military aid to the Ukraine. He further speculates that if so, this could backfire, and further convince French and German leaders that their own security is at risk, if they don't remove the influence of the "Western Elite" (which I take to mean the Neocon-Zionist-Cabal-Bastards in power.)

    My sense, which I see others sensing as well, is that these Neocon-Zionist-Cabal-Bastards are being setup for a major fall. They are "cut outs" and about to be "cut out", with war crime tribunals and with a collapse of the Federal Reserve's current control of the world's US Dollar based monetary system. For some years now, I and others have observed that, the last time we had a major shift in the center of world power, it took a couple of World Wars to bring the "energy" levels to the climax required to move the centers of power to the US Dollar, the US Military/Intelligence/Manufacturing/Finance complex, and to New York and Washington, DC. We hoped it would not take yet another, even bigger, World War to unleash the next transition. Humanity might not survive that. Perhaps we have already been experiencing the build up to the next transition, as more and more of the world, including even many Americans, and now, today, perhaps a bit more, French and German leaders, are increasingly ready to "Throw the Bastards Out", after their decades of unrelenting and horrific crimes against humanity, via food and water poisoning, mass surveillance, genocide by vaccines, weather control, drone strikes, false flags, unrelenting military strikes, theft of thousands of tons of gold, financial instruments of mass destruction, and on and on ...

    This is not to say humanity wins; but rather just to say that we might be witnessing, with this Germanwings crash, one more detail in the transition of power, once again, from one gang (who will be painted as the bad guys, as bad as Hitler) to the next gang (who will be painted as the good guys and conquering heros, at least initially.)

    Germanwings 4U9525 accident investigation: IFALPA strongly condemns leaking of CVR data

    03/26/2015 | 11:24am US/Eastern

    The International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA) deplores and condemns yesterday's leaking of certain elements of the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) of the Germanwings flight 4U9525.

    Not only do these leaks contravene the internationally agreed principles of accident investigation confidentiality set out in ICAO Annex 13, they are also a breach of trust to all those involved in the investigation and to the families of the victims. Furthermore, leaks of this nature greatly harm flight safety since they invite ill-informed speculation from the media and the general public and discourage co-operation with investigators in future accidents.

    IFALPA once again stresses that the sole purpose of a CVR is to aid investigators in determining the factors leading to an accident and not to apportion blame or be used outside of its safety context. CVR details should only be publicly released following a thorough and complete investigation of the events that occurred, and not prematurely during the course of the field portion of the accident investigation, underway for less than 48 hours.

    Leaking premature, unanalyzed, and partial CVR recordings, which lack the context of the entire body of factual investigative data, severely interferes with the investigative process, and can only lead to early conclusions on what exactly occurred during the time leading up to the accident. Any other use of CVR data is not only invalid, but is an unacceptable invasion of privacy best described as a search for sensationalism and voyeurism of the worst kind.

    It is vital for the investigating body to ensure all information under their control is properly handled until the completion of the investigation.

    In this early stage of the investigation, many critical questions remain to be answered, and IFALPA stresses the need for an objective accident investigation process through the collection of all the facts needed to draw an accurate analysis of events. Once again, IFALPA’s resources are at the disposal of the Accident Investigation Agencies to achieve these aims.

    Note to Editors: The International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations represents in excess of 100,000 pilots in more than 100 countries world-wide. IFALPA’s mission is to be the global voice of airline pilots, promoting the highest level of aviation safety and security world-wide and providing services, support and representation to all of its Member Associations.

    The automated airplane

    The A320, the Germanwings model that crashed over the French Alps, is a highly automated airplane. Computers control almost everything - and these computers could be hacked, experts say.


    One of the black boxes from Germanwings flight 4U9525 has been recovered. It's damaged, but officials say it can still be used to retrieve information. That's a relief, because so far, no one knows what happens to the plane that crashed in the French Alps en route from Barcelona to Düsseldorf.

    A fact that's undisputed is that the Airbus 320, the downed Germanwings model, is a highly computerized plane. But this by no means renders this aircraft immune to accidents - only months prior to the Germanwings crash one of Airbus' best-selling airplanes went down over the Java Sea: The AirAsia flight that crashed in December 2014 en route from Indonesia to Singapore was an A320-200.

    The computer-controlled plane


    Experts are looking to the plane's black box for answers

    Aircraft models from the A320 family rely on aviation software to a much higher degree than most Boeing models.

    "The A320 is an almost complete fly-by-wire system, which means that the computers actually fly the aeroplane," David Stupples, professor for electronic and radio systems at City University London, told DW. "The computer has absolute control over most things."

    There are several computer systems on board the plane, such as interfaces for navigation and communication. They are all connected to the central system that controls the aircraft. This means that each A320 is carrying a huge network of computers with highly complex software.

    The software is provided directly by Airbus and is updated regularly to meet the necessary technical and security standards. What’s more, everything in the plane's computer systems is "triplicated," Stupples explained.

    "It's not a single computer that controls everything, because if that computer failed, you'd have a real problem," the electronic systems expert said. "They have three computer systems doing the same job for most of the time. And they work on a voting system. That means that two computers have to "agree" on an action. If the third one differs, it is ignored." [Minority Report]

    How to hack an aircraft
    With these precautionary measures, the computerized aircraft seems safe. But, says Stupples, it could still be hacked. According to the professor, there are two opportunities to feed malware into the closed computer system.

    First, hackers could upload a virus during the plane's software update, because for this, an external data-line has to be established. The second way is even more direct:


    Stupples says it's difficult but not impossible to hack an airplane

    "The Airbus has an electronics bay beneath the cockpit where all of the navigation computers are located," Stupples said. "So if you could get in there with a USB-stick, you could inject malware into the system."

    Trying to sneak a virus into a plane's system while its software is updating or physically connecting a USB-stick with malware to an aircraft's computer is no easy feat though. One would have to be a highly knowledgeable hacker to overcome, for example, the "triplification" of the aircraft's computer system.

    And it would be impossible for an outsider to gain the necessary levels of access, Stupples said. So the hacker would have to be an employee.

    Hacking likely not a factor in Germanwings crash
    In the case of the downed Germanwings A320, politicians are saying that an outside attack was probably not the cause for the crash. France's interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that all possibilities had to be explored, but that a terrorist attack was not the most likely scenario.

    Stupples, who worked in the aviation industry for several decades before coming to City University London, also doesn't believe that Germanwings' A320 crashed because of a hacker attack. One of the reasons he gave: the lack of communication from the cockpit.

    The malware would have had to sabotage the navigation system to make the plane descend while prohibiting the pilots from overriding the board computers. At the same time it would have had to disable the communication systems so the pilots couldn't send out a distress call. "That's virtually impossible," Stupples said.

    The public will have to wait for the evaluation of the cockpit's voice recorder to learn more about what happened to flight 4U9525.

    Very detailed and technical piece of... misdirection!

    Why?

    It totally ignores, OMITS this:

    Quote Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Autopilot
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Boeing Honeywell Uninterruptible Autopilot is a set of sub-routines aimed at defeating attempts at aircraft hijacking by removing electrical power from an aircraft's flight deck, and irrevocably passing pilot authority to the autopilot and navigational computer for an automated landing at a safe airfield that can deal effectively with the incident.

    History
    In 2005, avionics supplier, Honeywell, was reported to be talking to both Boeing and Airbus about fitting a device aimed at preventing a 9/11-style hijack. On 16 April 2003, Honeywell filed patent US7475851 B2, Method and apparatus for preventing an unauthorized flight of an aircraft. Airbus and BAE Systems, had been working on the project with Honeywell. Development sped up after the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1][2]
    Now, how do you do this:

    Quote removing electrical power from an aircraft's flight deck, and irrevocably passing pilot authority to the autopilot and navigational computer for an automated landing at a safe airfield that can deal effectively with the incident.
    ...when neither hijackers nor pilots are in control of the flight path and landing location and approach and it's all in the "hands" of an autopilot?

    See the problem there?

    PS: If there ever was a symbolic message sent by the illumiloonies, to go in the direction of J.P. Farrell, it would be the "clipping of the German Wings."

    From another forum:

    Quote Next Gen Cockpits are Coming
    I work for a well known giant aerospace avionics company that is now drafting preliminary designs for the next generation cockpit of the future. The new generation cockpits targeted to be incorporated with newer airplane designs of 15 years from now, will prove as innovative in the 2030's as when today's computerized cockpits were when eliminating the Flight Engineer back in the 1980's.

    Although details are still in the preliminary design phase, the innovative concept being worked on is to place the PIC in the airplane while placing the second in command on the ground. Both would be capable of equal control of the airplane if necessary, and either pilot would have a relief airman when with long range flights. Such a concept along with other benefit's, would almost certainly insure a survivor /witness in every crash.

    I don't wish to speculate on the causes of this disaster, but simply wish to say that IF a pilot wishes to commit suicide, all they need to do is wait until a day off, go to a local airfield, rent a single-engine Cessna or equivalent, take to the skies and crash into whatever geographical feature takes their fancy. They achieve their aim without having to kill 100+ innocent people. So whatever the real cause turns out to be, I simply don't buy "suicide"; the psychology is wrong and so's the method.

    Delta pilot locked out of cockpit during landing

    http://www.boston.com/travel/2015/01...sdP/story.html

    A statement from Atlanta-based Delta (NYSE: DAL) says the captain was not able to enter the flight deck during a Thursday flight due to a safety door jam, reports Minnesota's WCCO-TV.

    Pilot locked out of cockpit while co-pilot slept
    G'day Herve,

    Excellent links.

    None of them seem to be about an Airbus though (Boeing 787, MD-90).

    The last link didn't work for me but I gather it was for the September 2012 Transavia flight (seems their fleet are all Boeing 737):
    http://edition.cnn.com/2013/01/31/tr...p-at-controls/

    I don't know if the door operation system is the same for these and the Airbus however the report on the Transvia flight seems to indicate that they are similar.

    So, if the door was jammed then I'd think that the co-pilot would have said something to the pilot banging on the door?
    Also, its being reported that the door was deliberately locked (they might be working that out from the audible "door opening" warning sounding in the cockpit) so the door jamming hypothesis seems more unlikely. Again, maybe an electrical failure leading to automatic door locking? If that was the case though wouldn't there have been something said by the co-pilot?

    Given available information I can see why it is being said that the person who was left in the cockpit crashed the flight. All the reports I've seen indicate no emotional, relationship or financial problems for the co-pilot.

    This is a very strange crash.

    Here's Joseph Farrell's high octane speculation. He's usually right, but too early to tell. See short "News and Views" video.

    Hi all,

    Just some stuff playing out in my mind.


    This from Jim Stone's site:

    Quote I do not know the source of the following quote, but evidently it came from a pilot. It first appeared on Barking Moonbat two days ago according to the Google time stamp, AND IT SAYS IT ALL:

    "IF France finds the flight recorders, and IF they aren't mangled beyond use, and IF they make the actual contents public record, then I won't be at all surprised to find they didn't record a word of cockpit conversation nor a peep from the passenger cabin. I bet there won't be any records of any AirPhone usage, or any outgoing messages from any of the cell phones on board.

    I think the plane was hacked. Brought down. A poison gas canister attached to the air system and triggered by the "seat belts" signal when the plane reached altitude. And exactly 30 minutes later, the engines were shut down. Either by programming or by remote control. And the computer flies the plane perfectly, like a glider in an 8 minute descent, right into an Alp.

    I think looking at the passenger list could be very informative. This looks like a hit. A major hit, at the level of nation-states or the largest criminal cartels. Or a worldwide group of fanatics. So, who was on this flight?
    Not saying that this is what happened, but the scenario above (or something similar) does fit the crash profile quite nicely.


    And what about the fighter jets that were initially reported by the news media and then deleted shortly after?:

    This from Jim Stone's site:

    Quote Here we have a screen capture, provided by a reader, that was taken at 10:44:36. It includes a large amount of the information I have above, INCLUDING THE FIGHTER JET ESCORTS:



    HERE WE HAVE THE EDITED REPORT, WITH THE FIGHTER JETS REMOVED. If they get put back into the story and lies are hatched for damage control it is TOO LATE, the fact they chose to expunge this information irrevocably proves they never wanted these fighter jets to be mentioned, and THAT SAYS IT ALL. TOO LATE, BUSTED:

    Fighters flying in close proximity and carrying the necessary equipment could have easily performed the functions required in a scenario similar to the one described at the top of this post.

    OR

    There's also the possibility that the fighters may have been in the near vicinity as 'insurance' against the possibility of failure of the plane going down.


    Quote So, who was on this flight?
    Indeed. Do you think they'll ever really tell us the truth? I have read a bunch of articles and watched a bunch of videos and so far all I've seen is the mainstream media focusing on their favorite thing: Highlighting the heartbreaking stories.

    I have a question out of curiosity: Has anyone heard or seen anything mentioned about some Iranians on this flight? If not why hasn't it been reported?

    As I said, "Out of curiosity":

    (Translated)

    Quote Reporters killed two Iranians fall of German plane accident south of France

    Syrian Arab News Agency
    03/25/2015

    TEHRAN, (SANA)

    Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed the two reporters Iranians working in the sports section of the killing, told the International Tasneem news and newspaper Emrooz homeland in the fall of Airbus German and German Wings in the south of France accident yesterday.

    Was quoted by the official news agency IRNA source in the Iranian Foreign Ministry as saying today that the two reporters were on board the German plane, en route from Barcelona to the city of Dusseldorf, which crashed yesterday in the south of France.

    It is noteworthy that reporters are the birth of the Islamic Hojjat reporter sports section in the Agency for International Tasneem news and Hossein Javadi reporter sports section in the newspaper homeland Emrooz and were in newsworthy important to cover the friendly matches between the Iranian national football team with his Chilean in Austria and Swede in Stockholm also traveled to Barcelona to cover the match between the two clubs Barcelona and Madrid for the RIA.

    As a result, the German plane crash killed 144 passengers in addition to the crew of 6 people.

    In the context opera singer Oleg Briggak and singer Mary Radner been killed in German plane crash.

    The Web site, Russia Today that the statement issued by the website of the Ryan Opera Theater in Dusseldorf German publishing the news of the death of singer Briggak and stated that "the members of the band in Dusseldorf Opera Theater deeply saddened received the news of the death of their colleague in the plane crash."

    The statement pointed out that Briggak was on the plane on his way to Dusseldorf from Barcelona, ​​where he performed the role of Alberich in the opera "Siegfried" composed by Wagner at the National Opera Theatre.

    The statement also that the singer Maria Radner who performed the role of women in the same opera received also killed in the incident.

    It is noteworthy that Oleg Briggak was born in 1960 in Kazakhstan, where the Conservatory ended in Alma-Ata and work in the period between 1989 and 1991, a singer in "Glenka" Band Bboutrsburg then emigrated to Germany, where he worked in the German Rhine theater since 1996. The Radner was working singer in theaters, "Metropolitan Opera" in New York and "La Scala" in Milan and "Colon" in Buenos Aires.

    In Paris, the French authorities announced that the German victims of the plane crash came from about 15 countries and the largest number of victims were Germans and Spaniards 72 people, at least 49 people.

    The plane, a subsidiary of German and German Wings flight between Barcelona, ​​Spain, and Dusseldorf, Germany, when it crashed, killing 150 people on board did not yet know the reasons.
    Probably nothing of consequence.

    But then again, why are recent stories of the past few weeks flashing through my mind, regarding Netanyahu/US Congress, Israel Spying On US - Iran Nuclear Talks, The Growing Rift Between Netanyahu and Obama, etc?

    Oh never mind. I'm sure it's nothing.
