    How awful, especially hearing it was going down for 8 minutes.

    I know how safe flying is but the fact is that if you're going down and you know it it must be one of the worst things to experience. RIP.

    This is shocking, knowing that the plane was slowly going down must of been terrifying, RIP.

    Germanwings Pilot Was Locked Out of Cockpit Before Crash in France

    As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed amid a relatively clear sky, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane’s descent and was unable to get back in.

    A senior military official involved in the investigation described “very smooth, very cool” conversation between the pilots during the early part of the flight from Barcelona, Spain, to Düsseldorf, Germany. Then the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.

    “The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door, and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger, and no answer. There is never an answer.”

    He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”

    While the audio seemed to give some insight into the circumstances leading to the Germanwings crash on Tuesday morning, it also left many questions unanswered.

    “We don’t know yet the reason why one of the guys went out,” said the official, who requested anonymity because the investigation was continuing. “But what is sure is that at the very end of the flight, the other pilot is alone and does not open the door.”

    It's always awful to see these stories because of what it must have been like for the passengers, RIP.

    So now it's looking like it was done on purpose by one of the pilots. No way...

    Unfortunately, it does look like this is the case.


    Germanwings plane crash: Co-pilot 'wanted to destroy plane'

    The co-pilot of the Germanwings plane that crashed into the French Alps on Tuesday appeared to want to "destroy the plane", French prosecutors said.

    Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, citing information from the "black box" voice recorder, said the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit.

    He intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out.

    Mr Robin said there was "absolute silence in the cockpit" as the pilot fought to re-enter it.

    The co-pilot, now named as Andreas Lubitz, was alive until the final impact, the prosecutors added.

    The Airbus 320 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf hit a mountain on Tuesday after a rapid eight-minute descent.

    The coming weeks should be interesting. I wonder what their motive and reasoning was. No doubt they'll investigate him down to every last detail to make better sense of the situation.

    It would've been better if it was an accident This just makes it so much worse.

    A change in procedures is most likely going to happen as well here. Two people in the cockpit at all times? Some airlines may do that already but I don't think it's a mandatory thing.

    i'm not surprised, human error is the main cause of car accidents and I don't see why it's not the same for air accidents if bad weather is not involved

    it'll be interesting to know more of what happened later, hopefully they release all information to the public. heartbreaking for the families if it is suicide by pilot
    @xxMATTGxx; yeah they will have to make it mandatory! reading up on this though it seems EVERYONE knows to follow the protocol of having a flight attendant in place of the co pilot, or blocking the door with the trolley
    wonder why it didn't happen on this flight
