Those photos have already been proven to be fakes or pictures of other random crashes

History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.
Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.

Re: alps plane crash
Report out that one pilot was locked out of the cockpit as the plane descended.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: alps plane crash
If it turns out the copilot did a suicide job, I wonder what the next round of severe over-reacting airline policies will be?

Re: alps plane crash
You're right, I should have said "what will be the airlines AND governments over-reaction policies".
Is that better, Mr Globe-hopping expert on everything Hater?

I wonder if he was "middle eastern looking" how quickly they would say it's a terrorist act?

Re: alps plane crash
The investigators have done a good job so far, but their hands were turned when the nyt leaked the pilot being locked out of the cockpit information.

Sad on many different levels.

Re: alps plane crash
If you feel the need to kill yourself go for it, but don't take 150 other people with you. What an asshole.
Re: alps plane crash
How ironic! He could've taken care of himself right there. The GGB is one of the world's chief suicide destinations! Why involve 149 other innocents!Merkin wrote:I wonder if he was "middle eastern looking" how quickly they would say it's a terrorist act?

He trained in AZ too. The Grand Canyon would have worked just fine.

Re: alps plane crash
All I used to worry about was snagging my fair share of the armrest. Now I have to worry about pilots with weak bladders and suicidal co-pilots? Ugh...

Re: alps plane crash
New reports Saturday say Andreas Lubitz -- the co-pilot who crashed a jet into a French mountainside early Tuesday -- had been dumped by his girlfriend a day before the crash, was being treated for depression and was possibly facing the loss of his job over eye problems.
The new revelations emerged four days after the tragedy and painted a picture of a troubled man whose world, carefully hidden from his employer, friends and colleagues, was coming apart over a broken romance, mental illness and vision issues before the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 that killed 150 people.
It was unclear if Lubitz’s eye difficulties were serious enough to ground him, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source who said investigators only know that Lubitz had been examined by an eye specialist and that the appointments appeared to have taken place at University Hospital Dusseldorf.

Re: alps plane crash
bleh.
Dusseldorf, Germany (CNN)Video found in the wreckage on a French mountainside shows the nightmarish final seconds of Germanwings Flight 9525, reports said Tuesday.
Taken on a cell phone, the video "was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them," according to the French magazine Paris Match, which obtained the video along with the German newspaper Bild.
"One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages. Metallic banging can also be heard more than three times, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing,"
