Germanwings Co-Pilot

Sounds more and more like someone with psychological and relationship problems, and the bloggers just jumped to the obvious conclusion, and happen to be wrong this time.

Wonder if they'll ever print a retraction?

the pilot is reported to have taken an ax to the door. an ax? they are damn hard to get through security, believe me.

I read that (about the axe) and wondered where he got it. Do they keep one near the Cabin door for such emergencies.

I think there are a lot of conspiracy theories going around. I got an email today from my American friend who mentioned the Muslim aspect and he apologised for jumping the gun and passing on "conspiracy theories". He is usually so careful too. Ah well.

There was something in the paper about the guy being told not to fly because of eyesight issues. His girlfriend ... or ex g/f ... who is now pregnant(?) has told of him talking about being "known" "famous" and so forth.

You really cannot believe anything you read in the Media.

A retraction? Do they ever do that? Occasionally they say they print a retraction but it is never front page, so nobody actually sees it. It is purely there to save the newspaper being sued.

There is an old adage ... “Believe only half of what you see (i.e. read) and nothing that you hear.” Edgar Allan Poe. He's been dead for 166 years but he is still correct.

Not a phone video I would like to watch.... but..... I would have to if it was published.

Mobile phone footage taken from inside the Germanwings flight during its final moments has reportedly been recovered from the crash site in the French Alps.

European newspapers Paris Match and Bild have reported that the video, which Sky News has not seen, was discovered on a mobile phone found among the wreckage of flight 4U 9525.

Paris Match, which has not published the video, reported: "The scene was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them.

"One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages."

The newspaper added that metallic banging can be heard in the footage, before the screaming gets louder and the video ends.

Yes, I saw that. How did a mobile phone survive when they claim they have NOT found any bodies, only body parts?

A phone is much tougher than bodies.

It may have been smashed even and they could still access the memory that stored the video.

I guess so. Everyone on that plane must have had a mobile phone. I wonder whether they will find more? Remember 9/11, when (according to dramatizations that I have seen) where people started ringing loved ones when they realised the plane had been hi-jacked? Technology (and DNA) has progressed a lot since then.

You've got to wonder how the media get hold of shit like that.

Not in the public interest, so soon after. Too soon.

Sometimes I wish there really was an afterlife so these sort of *&^%$'s can get what they deserve...... forever and for eternity.
