I know I didn't blog for a while, but to my defense, I was swamped in work, almost drowning, if you will! For us, it’s top season right now, so that means a lot of work, like 6 days a week, which is good of course LOL. Only I don’t like it when I have so little time for other things I love to do, like writing my blog on a regular basis. I didn't work on my book for months now. I just started this week again. Let me tell you that being away from my story this long wasn’t good. Anyways, I’ll try to write on a regular basis from now on, because there is so much to write about.
The 28 year old German co-pilot of the crashed Germanwings flight 4U 9525 was alone in the cockpit at the time of the crash, and he seems that he willfully let the plane crash against the mountain. This was announced today at the press conference held by the Public Prosecutor in France!
The captain left the cockpit, presumably to go to the toilet, about ten minutes before the Airbus 320 crashed, according the Public Prosecutor, who led the press conference about the fatal flight 4U 9525. The co-pilot locked the cockpit from the inside, and then he started the descent. In the last eight minutes the plane decreased from 12 km altitude to less than 2 kilometers.
Closed off cockpit
The captain kept trying to enter the cockpit until the plane crashed. It seemed that the pilot called several times that he wanted to be let inside. The cockpit is only accessible for those who have the code. The captain and cabin crew do have access to the cockpit. However, if one pilot locks the cockpit from the inside, there’s no way someone outside the cockpit can enter. Not even with the emergency code. So the question remains, why did the co-pilot lock the cockpit from the inside?
Suicide
From what I understand, (watching the press conference), it’s more than likely that the co-pilot committed suicide. As far as they now know, the co-pilot was alive during descend of the plane. So it all point in the direction of foul play. They know that he was alive because the voice recorder recorded his breathing, and analysts say that his breathing was normal, that he wasn’t unconscious. So the possibility that this man committed suicide is becoming more and more a reality. Also, it seemed that the co-pilot was suffering from depressions which he got treatment for, and that’s a bad sign.
Haltern: The school class who never comes home again!
This is a small town in the area where I live. The school there lost 16 students and 2 of its teachers. So, Haltern is in deep morning right now. The students all were 15 and 16 years young! One teacher just got married last year, and the other one was set to marry this year.
The black box also recorded loud banging on the cockpit door, probably the captain who tried in vain to break down the door. The door of a cockpit is made out of reinforced steel, so it was futile for the captain to try and break it down. That he did such a thing, tells us how desperate he must have been, knowing it was a reinforced steel door that he was trying to break down, knowing it was impossible. Imagine the panic, because I believe that the captain knew what was happening the minute he couldn’t enter the cockpit anymore.
The flight captain shouted and pleaded, but copilot Andreas L. did not respond to the pleas of the other pilot. Also, there was no observable response to calls from the air traffic control. The Public Prosecutor has asked Germany to the spiritual condition of the pilot, and other backgrounds. The Public Prosecutor in Marseilles closes emphatically suicide committed by the copilot no impossible.
Shouting
On the basis of the recordings, researchers conclude that the passengers were aware from the beginning of the fact what happened. Because, shortly before the plane crashed the voice recorder, recorded, the screaming of the passengers. The passengers must have a terrifying last 8 minutes of their lives. The voice recorder only records what it heard in the cockpit, so the creaming must have been loud for the voice recorder to record it.
Passengers:
There were three generations of a Spanish family on board the crashed Airbus, a little girl, her mother and her grandmother.
72 Germans were on board of the fatal flight 4U 9525, including 16 students and two teachers. Also, there were 3 British, 2 Japanese, 2 Colombians, 2 Argentinians, 2 Americans, 2 Australians, 2 Iranians, 2 Venezuelans, 1 Dane, 1 Turk, 1 person from Belgium and one Israeli aboard. That is confirmed by the different countries. The Dutch government has confirmed that a Dutch woman (20) from Deurne was also killed in the crash.
******
Today the German TV showed pictures of the passengers who died on flight 4U 9525. Seeing all the faces pass, it made me cry. Yesterday I cried a lot, on hearing the awful news. Now, after hearing the co-pilot probably committed suicide, I’m angry, very angry. Most of us know that people who commit suicide aren't thinking clearly anymore. No one really knows what’s going on in the mind of a person who wants to kill him/ herself. What I don’t understand is why kill 149 people in the process of committing suicide?
I myself booked a flight to London at Germanwings airline. I will not cancel my flight, Germanwings is a good airline they only had one rotten co-pilot.
My prayers are for the survivors of fatal flight 4U 9525 I hope you all are in a better place…
