Bild Reports On "Indisputably Authentic" Video Of Germanwings Final Moments

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A video showing the chaotic final seconds on board the Germanwings flight that crashed in the French Alps last week has been discovered near the site, according to Reuters, who note that Germany's Bild daily reported on Wednesday that it had seen the footage. The video, which Bild described as being "indisputably authentic", was reportedly found on a mobile phone belonging to one of the passengers killed on the flight suggested passengers were fully aware of what was happening...

 

 

Bild says...

"It comes from the people who were investigating on the site. That is as much as we're going to say about it," he said, adding that a senior French reporter got it from his sources and then "went through the process of verifying it."

 

"There is no doubt that what we saw are the final seconds of what happened on board," Reichelt said.

As Reuters reports, the scenes seen on the video were chaotic and very wobbly, said Bild, adding screams and shouts of "My God" could be heard in variuous languages, indicating the passengers knew what was happening.

Prosecutor Brice Robin, who is handling the case in France, said none of the mobile telephones collected at the crash site had been sent for analysis.

 

"All are for now being kept at Seynes-Les-Alpes. If people at the site have picked up mobile phones, I am not aware of it," he told Reuters by telephone. France's BEA investigation authority could not immediately be reached for comment.

 

On the video, which Bild described as being "indisputably authentic", a banging of metal could be heard at least three times, possibly the sound of the pilot who had been locked out of the cockpit by Lubitz trying to break through the door.

 

Near the end there was a heavy shake and the cabin tilted sharply to one side. After further screams the video ended, said the paper.

 

The footage appeared to have been taken from near the back of the plane but no individuals could be identified, said Bild.

As Paris Match further confirms,

"The atmosphere is very chaotic, making it difficult to identify the passengers. But the sound of screaming passengers indicate that they are all aware of the tragedy that will happen."

 

...

 

This version of the final moments of the Germanwings flight is confirmed by another element we recently obtained:  the information from the “Cockpit Voice Recorder,” one of the A320’s two black boxes.  This one recorded the sounds and conversations in the cockpit.  Its contents were described in detail by a special investigator.  Here is his account.

10:00 am
The airplane takes off.

10:10
The Captain says to Lubitz:  “I didn’t have time to use the bathroom before taking off.”  Lubitz: “Go whenever you’d like.”

10:27
The plane has reached cruising altitude:  38000 feet (11.500 meters)
The captain asks Lubitz to prepare the approach for landing and to verify that the plane can begin the landing process.  Lubitz obeys.  He repeats to the captain again:  “You can go.  You can go now.”

10:28
Noise can be heard coming from a seat:  the captain removes his seatbelt.  The door is opened.  The captain says to Lubitz: “You are in control now.”
Lubitz answers with a seemingly light tone of voice: “I hope so.”

10:30
Lubitz is alone in the cockpit.  He locks the armored door with the “Lock” button:  it is no longer possible to open the door from the outside. The one can hear the sounds of the automatic pilot being reprogrammed to accelerate the descent, pushing the plane from 38,000 feet (11.000 meters) to 100 feet (30 meters) in a matter of minutes.

10:33
The landing begins: the plane drops 3000 feet (900 meters) per minute. Air traffic controllers detect the problem.  They try several times to contact the airplane by radio.  Lubitz does not respond.
The captain’s voice can be heard as he tries to open the door: “It’s me!” The captain is facing a camera connected to the cockpit:  Lubitz sees him on screen but does not react.  The captain grabs an oxygen tank or fire extinguisher in order to break down the door.No response from Lubitz.  The captain yells: “For the love of God, open this door!”

10:34 approximately
A first alarm goes off, audible and visual:  “SINK RATE, PULL UP.”
No reaction from Lubitz.
Through the cockpit door, the first sounds of passengers running in the aisles can be heard.

10:35
The captain asks for the crowbar hidden in the back of the plane. Louder bangs can be heard hitting the door, followed by metallic sounds. The captain tries to bend the door with the crowbar.

10:37 and several seconds
A second alarm is set off, audible and visual:  “TERRAIN, PULL UP.”  Still no reaction from Lubitz.
The captain yells: “Open this f… door!”

10:38
Despite the deafening noises, Lubitz’s breathing can cleary be heard through an oxygen mask he put on.  He is breathing normally. The plane is at 13000 feet (4000 meters).

10:40
A violent sound can be heard outside.  At the same time, inside, screaming. The Airbus hits the mountain with its right wing.
No other sound, save for the alarms and the screaming passengers.

10:41
The airplane hits the Estrop mountain range at 5000 feet (1500 meters) at 800 km/h.

10:30 Lubitz is alone in the cockpit.  He locks the armored door with the “Lock” button:  it is no longer possible to open the door from the outside.

Bullshit if that were really true. All the door engineers would have to be fired, tared and feathered over this. The only area on the plane that is in complete control over plane can be sealed 100% shut and never be opened during flight? That would have never gotten signed off by anyone.

Maybe the door was locked on this plane because it was tempered with. Maybe Lubitz was depressed because he was abducted by CIA and programmed to becoming a sleeper? A programmed killer who could be activated at anytime and who would never speak of his assignment because the CIA threatened something even worse than his own death. Now it makes sense why Lubitz had to take a break from the training and why he was diagnosed. CIA made sure of all that.

Nobody, not even the worst psycho mass murderer can kill himself and fly a plane into a mountain and NOT respond with at least incresed breathing.

A mechanism to override and remotely land a passenger jet is pure fantasy. That would be the biggest security hole ever, and it would be impossible to keep secret in multiple countries where the plane is serviced.

Why the fvck do all we hear time and time again is of the solitary pilot trying to get into the locked cockpit? Were there no real 200-lb+ men on board who would have done a better job than some puny senior pilot? Why was only one person trying to break down the cockpit when a series of good powerful kicks will make most people tired in a few seconds? I have a hard time believing the narrative that everyone was sitting in their seats watching the one pilot trying to enter the cockpit, but based on what i know of most people, it agrees with the narrative that most people are pussies.

YOu cannot tell me, and i refuse to believe, that given the many heavy metal objects on board the aircraft (including the carts) that 150 people wouldn't be able to break down a metal door.

That they do not release this footage is prima faciae evidence that they have a narrative they wish to spread, one of supplicant, pliable people obedient to authority till the very end.

Some of the very first reporting was that Merkel had spoken with Washington TO CONFIRM it was NOT terrorism.

News was fed exclusively to NYT and dissimenated via NYT and WaPo.

It was a German plane built in France, crashed in France and the crash investigated by French authorities - not aviation experts

Where is the US involvement in this other than making sure the international coverage (a.k.a. propaganda) is 100% air tight on this?

The early airbus 320s are known for their extremely loud cockpits. How can you hear breathing over airplane noise? Why cant they hear all the automated audible crash avoidance warning on the recording if they can hear BREATHING? Why have people on seen TRANSCRIPTS of the recorder and not the actual recording? How is it the black box was found but the memory chip was missing??? The black box is designed to withstand 7200 G force. But they found a cell phone SIM card? Riiiiiight.

There are three power-latches on the door, top center and bottom. There is no going thru it. Mt workout partner flies the A330's to Europe. He is a senior Captain. He is rated for a side arm and he says that even w 9 in the clip he would not be able to force the door. There is a protocol to unlock it but it takes time on the 330's.

A terrist can torture the flight attendant for the code.  There no "safety" that can't be circumvented.  The locked safety door became the problem.  People have drowned in ditches of water because they couldn't get their seatbelts off.  Wearing seatbelts is mandatory.  I still like archie bunkers idea of passing out pistols to all the passengers before they board the plane.

Lufthansa regs do not require 2 in the cockpit at all times. MOst other including all USA carriers do in the jumbo's. IF there is only one officer on the flight deck, then a flight attendent must stand in the doorway keeping the door open.

MOney says, Lufthan sa in in deep shit trying to defend their protocol on this matter and will change it.

Thanks. I have noticed this on most US flights. If one of the officers leaves the deck, then an attendent will take place on deck with door locked back. Pretty standard. Can't believe Lufthansa didn't follow this same type policy. What if the pilot/co-pilot were alone with a locked door and then had an incident (heart attack, stroke, seizure, blackout, etc)? This was just a dumb policy.

"With good reason.

Give it a think.

Maybe the logical thing to do would change the German law that allows a single pilot in the cockpit."

 

Complain to Airbus.  It's a standard feature.

Here's a thought:

How many of you heard about the recent Air Canada crash in Halifax?  Not too many I'll bet.  No one was killed, no heroic ditching into the Hudson, just a missed runway, struck powerlines and a berm which clipped off the landing gear and engines, and then an uncontrolled slide in the snow until the plane stopped.  Not even a fire, which is the usual outcome in that kind of crash.

So, why hasn't anyone spun this into a story of hacked flight control on the part of ISIS as revenge for Canada's bombing of their Syrian positions?

C'mon people, it's just sitting there ripe for the picking, and I know you have nothing better to do, so what are you waiting for?

I like the C(IA)NN live feed in this article.

Oh wait, that wasn't a joke?! My bad. Is funny though.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

C(IA)NN has a much credibility as a O. J. Simpson.

I'd like to know what cargo, besides passenger luggage was on the plane....
As someone else said...the passenger list too? perhaps it's out and I missed it?

Spring ritual sacrifice to Baal bitchez.  Did the diesel fuel burn hot enough to melt steel and all traces of bodies but leave passports completely intact without even a singe?

After Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon bombing, I don't believe anything I hear.  It seems more plausible to me that the plane was under control by the Uninterruptible Automatic Pilot system.  It is easily Googled, if you have any interest.

Here's a clue that the "transcription" in this article is pure BULLSHIT:

Lubitz sees him on screen but does not react. 

How could anyone possibly know this??  Last time I checked there was no video component to the flight data recorder.  Also, has anyone noticed that there is no obvious point of impact in any of the pictures of the crash site??  A plane coming in at 480 mph hitting the ground is going to leave some kind of impact deformation.  The way the debris was scattered at the site indicates the plane was destroyed in the air and the debris fell to the ground . . . . .

Second Germanwings black box found

French prosecutors have confirmed that the second black box from the Germanwings flight 4U9525 has been found. Authorities hope to find more clues about the plane crash in the French Alps.

After the first voice recorder suggested that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately locked the plane on a collision course with the mountains, the second black could provide more information about the Airbus A320 that crashed in the French Alps last week, French prosecutor Brice Robin told reporters in Marseille on Thursday.

The voice recorder with the conversations between Lubitz and the pilot had been found shortly after the crash on March 24. German co-pilot took the advantage of the captain's absence to lock him out and set the plane on a deadly descent into the Alps.

The Flight data in the second black box contain readings from hundreds of parameters of the Airbus aircraft including any pilot commands.

The Germanwings flight 4U9525 from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed into the mountains at a speed of 700 kilometres (430 miles) an hour, killing all 150 people on board.

Meanwhile, German state prosecutors said a computer seized from 27-year-old co-pilot's home showed searches had been made on cockpit doors and their safety precautions as well as suicide methods.

"On at least one day, the person also spent several minutes trying out search terms for cockpit doors and their security protection," German prosecutor Ralf Herrenbrueck said.

German prosecutors have said Lubitz was diagnosed as suicidal "several years ago", before he became a pilot. He informed Lufthansa about his illness in 2009 after interrupting his flight training.
