Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said the commander left the cockpit, presumably to go to the lavatory, and then was unable to regain access. In the meantime, he said, co-pilot Andreas Lubitz manually and "intentionally" set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountainside in the southern French Alps.
It was the co-pilot's "intention to destroy this plane," Robin said.
The information was pulled from the black box cockpit voice recorder, but Robin said the co-pilot did not say a word after the commanding pilot left the cockpit.
"It was absolute silence in the cockpit," he said.
During the final minutes of the flight's descent, pounding could be heard on the door as alarms sounded, he said.
In the German town of Montabaur, acquaintances said Lubitz was in his late twenties and showed no signs of depression when they saw him last fall as he renewed his glider pilot's license.
"He was happy he had the job with Germanwings and he was doing well," said a member of the glider club, Peter Ruecker, who watched him learn to fly. "He gave off a good feeling."
Lubitz had obtained his glider pilot's license as a teenager, and was accepted as a Lufthansa pilot trainee after finishing a tough German college preparatory school, Ruecker said. He described Lubitz as a "rather quiet" but friendly young man................ http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/co-pilot-appeared-to-want-to-destroy-the-plane-1.229801726/3/15

Crash A320: selon le PDG de la Lufthansa, il s'agirait plutôt d'un suicide...
ReplyDelete"Il n'y a aucun signe, aucun indice qui laisse penser qu'il s'agirait d'un attentat terroriste" a déclaré, ce jeudi en début d'après-midi en conférence de presse, le PDG de la Lufthansa, dont un des avions de sa filiale Germanwings s'est écrasé mardi dans le sud de la France. Des propos qui viennent compléter ceux du procureur de la République de Marseille, Brice Robin, pour qui le copilote de l'A320 de la Germanwings, alors seul aux commandes, a actionné la descente de l'appareil.

Crash en France: «Les victimes n’ont réalisé qu’au dernier moment ce qu’il se passait»...
ReplyDeleteLe procureur de la République de Marseille, Brice Robin, en charge du dossier sur le crash de l’Airbus A320, a donné ce jeudi une conférence de presse dans un salon de l’aéroport de Marseille sur les derniers instants du pilote et du copilote dans le cockpit.
La retranscription de la conférence de presse
« Le relevage des corps a commencé depuis hier après-midi et la chaîne d’identification par ADN est lancée. A ce jour, nous n’avons toujours pas retrouvé la deuxième boîte noire. Nous avons la retranscription des 30 dernières minutes du vol en intégralité. Durant les 20 premières minutes, les deux pilotes échangent de façon normale, courtoise.
On entend ensuite le commandant de bord préparer le briefing de l’atterrissage à Düsseldorf. Les réponses du copilote semblent laconiques. On entend le commandant de bord demander au copilote de prendre les commandes. On entend à la fois le bruit d’un siège qui recule et celui d’une porte qui se ferme. On peut légitimement penser qu’il s’est absenté pour aller aux toilettes. Seul, le copilote actionne les boutons du flight monitoring system pour actionner la descente de l’appareil. L’action sur ce sélectionneur d’altitude ne peut être que volontaire..............http://www.lesoir.be/833741/article/actualite/france/2015-03-26/crash-en-france-victimes-n-ont-realise-qu-au-dernier-moment-ce-qu-il-se-passait

ReplyDeleteПредполагаемый виновник крушения немецкого лайнера Андреас Лубиц жаловался на условия работы, отсутствие денег и боязнь лишиться своего места в Germanwings. Об этом рассказала его бывшая подруга, стюардесса Мариа В. в опубликованном в субботу интервью газете Bild.
"Когда я услышала о крушении, у меня из головы не выходили его слова: "Однажды я сделаю что-то, что изменит всю систему, и все узнают о моем имени и сохранят его в памяти", - сообщила она. По ее словам, Лубиц заявил ей об этом в прошлом году.
"Я никогда не знала, что он подразумевает, только сейчас это обрело смысл", - отметила девушка.
