Germanwings Co-Pilot Researched Suicide Methods Online

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In the latest "revelation" after the tragic fact, moments ago the WSJ reported that Andreas Lubitz, the Germanwings co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing an airliner into the French Alps last week, searched the internet on ways to commit suicide and on cockpit doors’ security measures, the German prosecutor in charge of the case said Thursday.

Not surprisingly these findings "back what French prosecutors have said was co-pilot Andreas Lubitz’ apparently deliberate decision on March 24 to lock Flight 9525’s more experienced pilot out of the cockpit and fly the airliner into an Alpine ridge at 400 miles an hour."

It is "not surprising" because by now it is quite clear that in their attempt to wash their hands of all responsibility, not to mention monetary and punitive liabilities, Germanwings and Lufhtansa management are doing all they can to paint Lubitz as a depressed loose cannon hell bent on committing suicide and taking out hundreds of people with him. What is not exactly clear is why Lufthansa had no protocols to screen for just this kind of behavior, which for a pilot entrusted with countless lives, should be the primary prerogative of any airline.

More from WSJ:

Investigations in the co-pilot’s personal belongings found a tablet with the browser showing that the user had searched for medical treatments and ways to commit suicide between March 16 and March 23, a week before the plane crashed, killing 150 people.

 

Mr. Lubitz also searched for cockpit doors and their security measures, the Düsseldorf-based German prosecutors said.

 

The prosecutors said Monday that Mr. Lubitz had undergone psychotherapy years ago because of suicidal tendencies, a situation experts say is hard for airlines to detect.

It is unknown if he was searching on Google, Bing or Yahoo, or just what contextual ads he was seeing, because one would think that "crashing into a mountain" should hardly rank at the top of any search quietly seeking answers on the "best ways to commit suicide" for a majority of the population.

That said, one would think that with ever more of the entire US airforce now on remote control, there should be a way to override pilot control remotely for commercial airliners as well, especially if their pilots are unresponsive, have locked themselves out and are intent on taking as many innocent people with them.

Your account should be front and center of every European and North American newspaper - that is if we still had "news" paper as opposed to straight up propaganda tools.

Luv flying U2. Your airline rocks. LGW is piss poor designed but your OT performance is astounding.

Your fleet is mostly A320s and A319s

How do you like the auto? What happened on LH1829 BIO - MUC on 11/05?

Can you override the computer? Sounds like the capt on LH1829 had serious problems doing that despite his senior experience.

He's calculating a max speed at level flight, rounding to whole minutes, and assuming constant/programmed descent.  There's always a GIGO issue with .gov/MSM inputs, but it still needs to be cleaned up a bit...

(I'm an equal opportunity asshole... see above)

Okay, we read your expert opinion loud and clear.

Question: "Why aren't more pilots coming forward with similar comments such as yours?"

Isn't there a German pilots union that offers their take on the "facts" told to us by the government?

Let me offer a comparison situation. The reasons for the WTC building collapses (Bldgs. 1, 2, 7) have been refuted by hundreds of structural engineers (see: 9/11 Truth ).

There needs to be a similar response from passenger airline pilots from around the world such as what you have written to expose the truth of what really happened to Germangwings flight 9525.

too many nail guns in Germany?

This is emotionally laden like the Holocaust. If anyone puts their name beside anything to contradict the official story, they will be put to death in endless debates or worse...  I'm not comparing the Holocaust to this plane crash or trying to deny what happened during Nazi Germany. Not my beef. But the point is that the media (propaganda) and politics (bankers) are heavily invested in pinning this on the co-pilot. Anyone coming forward with cold hard facts from within the airline industry would live on borrowed time. Even in the aftermath of 9/11 it took months before engineers and architects found the courage to come forward.

Thanks well I'm just a very annoyed and pissed off individual that we are supposed to believe this nonsense. I'm also very dissappointed that more of my colleagues have not come forward and spoken out against the obvious lies on show here.

The Lufthansa incident concerned 3 stuck angle of attack veins. The aircraft had climbed at a speed close to green dot through an icing layer and at about 27,000 feet difficulty was expeirenced. During this climb period the AOA sensors had iced up so that the aircraft thought it was at a higher angle of attack than it actually was. As a result the captain had to pull full back stick in order to maintain straght and level flight. The Lufthansa engineers realised the solution and communicated via SATCOM that in order to fix the problem they had to put the aircraft into "Alternate Law", which required turning off 2 (maybe 3) Air Data Reference Units, the problem was then rectified and the aircraft continued uneventfully to Munich.

I think the only reasons why more people havent come forward is because, pilots are brain washed by the media too and secondly they are worrried that speaking out will cost them their jobs!

Right. So would you say that it is rather difficult to override the computer as was the case in LH1829? Initially when the U4 9525 story broke, sites like spiegel.de were immideately making reference to LH1829's earlier problems. I remember clearly reading the Spiegel had RULED OUT a computer malfunction and reported that all A320s systems had been upgraded in the aftermath of what happened to LH1829.

It's unbelieveable to be honest to expect that all 6000 aircraft of type A320 could have been upgraded in these short 4 months but I don't know how much work is involved and if it requires downtime with a hardware exchange or could be upgraded even remotely as software upload.

That timing seemed strange too. Spiegel "broke" the story of LH1829 just on March 20th, only 4 days before U4 9525.

Seems more plausible here that Airbus is very busy covering it's ass here. If this was a related mechanical incident, the fallout for Airbus would be huge. No wonder the French were so quick to act and literally grab the attention and the investigation.

Urban Redneck you dont know what youre talking about, max speed is max speed, in a dive, level or climbing. Like I said if the aircraft was in a dive the Airbus is designed to pull out before reaching VD (Max dive speed) so the speed of 500mph is impossible, especially in a mode controlled by the autopilot! At no stage was the autopilot ever taken out according to the CVR. The reports quite clearly state that 3000ft/min was maintained. The clincher for me was the fact that they say sink rate was heard one minute after descent, this is not some mainstream media error this is supposodely a copy of the official report! The sink rate warning only activates near the ground as does the terrain warning.

So the laws of physics do not apply to Airbus® aircraft, sort of like the laws of economics do not apply to FED® regulated banks?  If so, then you are as full of it as the other guy.  Like I said there is a GIGO issue, but regardless, it needs to be cleaned up, which can be done by clarification.

Go away and research Airbus normal laws and then come back and have a conversation with me, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. The Airbus can not exceed VMO + 16 it's high speed protection kicks in. Do you even know what VMO means? Like I said with the autopilot engaged VMO would not have been exceeded. The autopilot was not disengaged hence 500 mph was impossible. Even without the autopilot the aircraft still pitches nose up to maintain stick free stability and prevents exceedance of VMO!

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/03/26/europe/france-germanwings-plane-scene/

Proof that 3000-3500 feet/min was maintained above.

Best go away and tell your handlers they'll need to change their story line again for the Main stream media.

You haven't demonstrated anything other than that the neither the Telegraph nor CNN has competent editors.  

I've got news for you, the sky is blue.  

Perhaps you should avoid tossing ad hominems and stick to flying, because rhetoric is obviously above your pay grade, but you're in good company... from the grammatically challenged (in the proper use of negatives) at CNN, "If passengers didn't notice that fall, they might have caught wind of what was happening at the front of the plane." and from the chronologically and significant-digit-challenged at the Telegraph, "At 10.40am... The Airbus has just hit the mountain with its right wing... At 10.41, the plane hits the mountain at 5,000 feet flying at 500mph."  

I've got news for you, when (if) the airbus wing clipped the mountain, the Airbus® autopilot guidelines went "out the window".... Just as it didn't take a minute (60 seconds, or 12 hrs 60 seconds) between the airplane hitting the mountain and the airplane hitting the mountain again, the speed of the plane at final impact was not determined by what is written an Airbus manual, or the Telegraph.  

It's easy to construct straw men and burn them, and it's easy to toss ad hominems, but neither actually advances an argument.
