  4. Crash A320 : 360 pompiers, 7 hélicoptères pour intervenir à 1.500 mètres...

    L’avion de Germanwings s’est écrasé dans une zone très escarpée et enneigée. Le périmètre est "gelé" pour l'enquête. La recherche des boîtes noires va pouvoir commencer.

    C'est une zone d'ombre majeure : aucun signal de détresse n'aurait été envoyé par les deux pilotes de l'A320 qui s'est crashé au Nord de Digne. Selon Manuel Valls, "à ce stade aucune hypothèse ne peut être écartée". Comment expliquer la chute de l'avion, qui a duré 8 minutes, selon la direction de GermanWings ?............http://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-services/tourisme-transport/0204249004065-crash-de-lairbus-les-secours-vont-affronter-un-environnement-tres-hostile-1104966.php?LeztwzAqYlko796q.99#xtor=RSS37

  6. Localizan una caja negra y varios cuerpos del Airbus siniestrado...

    .........Según los portavoces de la aerolínea Germanwings, el avión estuvo perdiendo altura durante ocho minutos hasta desaparecer de los radares.

    El Ministerio del Interior francés ha informado por su parte de que "las condiciones meteorológicas no eran especialmente malas", así como que los restos del avión se han localizado exactamente a 2.000 metros de altura, en una zona de difícil acceso. Junto a restos del fuselaje, se han visualizado varios cuerpos. El comandante del vuelo llevaba una década trabajando para Luthansa y tenía más de 6.000 horas de vuelo.

    El presidente del Consejo General de la región de los Alpes-Alta Provenza, Gilbert Sauvan, ha asegurado que el avión ha quedado "completamente destrozado" y que el resto más grande del aparato tiene el tamaño de "un coche"................http://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2015/03

  7. 1 pilot locked out of cockpit before Germanwings crash that killed 150 people...

    ...........To find out why, investigators have been analyzing the mangled black box that contains an audio recording from the cockpit. Remi Jouty, the head of France's accident investigation bureau BEA, said Wednesday that it has yielded sounds and voices, but so far not the "slightest explanation" of why the plane crashed, killing all 150 on board.

    A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information at the least: One of the pilots is heard leaving the cockpit, then banging on the door with increasing urgency in an unsuccessful attempt to get back in.

    "The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer," The New York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying. "And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer."............http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/1-pilot-locked-out-of-cockpit-before-germanwings-crash-that-killed-150-people-report-1.2295969
