I made a thread ages ago on the silkaircrash, but I had no idea it had happened so many times!! Hopefully some measures will be put in to prevent this at last.

You're a special kind of stupid, are you not.

Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz had been told not to go to work by doctor on day he crashed Airbus A320.

Andreas Lubitz tore up sick note and hid his illness from his employers as it emerges he was under the care of local hospital.

Andreas Lubitz, 27, tore up a sick note signing him off work on Tuesday, and kept it a secret from the airline. He had been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Dusseldorf as recently as March 10, just two weeks before the tragedy, but had also concealed this from his employers.
German investigators refused to confirm whether the sick note, or the hospital treatment, related to depression, though Lubitz is reported to have taken time out from his pilot training after suffering mental illness before he finally qualified.
As the hunt continued for a motive for Lubitz’s mass murder, it also emerged that he had recently split from his girlfriend, and appeared to have made a desperate last attempt to win her back by buying her a brand new Audi car only weeks ago. She appeared to have said no, as the car was never delivered.

A spokesman for the prosecutors’ office in Dusseldorf, which carried out searches of Lubitz’s apartment in the city and his parents’ home in the nearby town of Montabaur, where he spent much of his time, said: “Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors.

“The fact there are sick notes saying he was unable to work, among other things, that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime, support the assumption based on the preliminary examination that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues.”
They refused to disclose the nature of Lubitz’s recent illness, but he is known to have taken a break from flight training in 2009 after he was diagnosed with a “major depressive episode” and anxiety attacks and listed “unable to fly”.

A friend of Lubitz suggested he may have specifically chosen the spot where he crashed the Airbus some time in advance of the disaster because he was “obsessed” with the Alps, having flown gliders over the same area.

Already suspected the ole gf could be one of the causes as relationship problems are always a good trigger for suicide. Plus the depressions he had suffered from and still suffered he choose to die at the place which he liked the most. the alps. complete selfish as he could take a glider plane and crash there only killing himself.

He couldn't have done a worse thing...

Well well well....Can someone just explain me how could it be possible to have no radio communications during 10 minutes with an airbus? only one radio in the cockpit? In a so air covered country like france?...no way...

The guy is locked alone in the cockpit, well ok, but the others have many other ways to communicate with the nearest control tower. There's at least one emergency radio at the back of the plane. I'm sure about that.

Some locals that have seen the crash said that they've seen a "mirage 2000" plane flying near the airbus just before the crash.

In mountains land like here, people are usually with dynamite explosions so:

A local woman's testimony: she said that she heard an explosion (like an voluntary avalanche) before the crash...Sonic blast? no way...airliners can't get so much speed..only jets or fighter planes...

After two days, nobody tells anything about that at tv now...

I say if it is a terrorist attack, they really want to hide it...

whatever,but as a planes fan I have found no answer for the first question...again: NO WAY!

[guims79]

Almost forgot:

There are nuclear sites near the crash area: "Cadarache, (110 kms, or 7 minutes by flying), Tricastin, Marcoule, and Cruas ( 8 minutes).
Last thing: Do they really want use to believe that it is possible to allow a depressive man to be an airline copilot?

And btw, to be depressive doesn't mean to have no conscience and respect for others life (In fact i'm pretty sure that people that don't respect others life, have no suicidal minds)...

Just think about it...
I don't want to be the guy that talks cheat about conspiracy things but it's really weird...again...

RIP to the victims.

I can't imagine how the Captain must have felt during those 8 minutes knowing that he was the only one who could save 150 lives if he'd been able to get into the cockpit.

He would have been able to get passenger assistance to overpower the 2nd officer and take full control.
