German Airbus A320 Plane Crashes In French Alps

[Yoshie]

I wonder if the people on the plane knew what was going to happen...

only last 10 seconds they did..

They would have realised that the plane is descending too much too fast. I'll pretend in my head they didn't realise though.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Says in the official statement that they started screaming with about 10 seconds left

But as soon as the pilot was locked out they knew what time it was

Such a tragedy

Could have happened to anybody

[Mame Biram Diouf]

One guy on the news last night, his daughter was one of the school girls on the plane. She forgot her passport at home, he drove it to her at the last minute before the outbound flight departed otherwise she would never have flown.

Can't imagine the pain he is feeling

[time_bomb]

wonder why theyve not put cctv on planes yet

Think people might of noticed like 5-6 ,I assume it would of felt like turbulence, or god forbid you look out the window but a lot of people just kept silent because they just thought it would be fine or they was ment to

Horrid

The Germanwings co-pilot who crashed his plane into a mountain killing himself and 149 people on board was receiving psychiatric counselling right up until the crash, it emerged today.

Andreas Lubitz locked the pilot out the of the Airbus A320's cockpit before setting the plane's controls to descend into a rocky valley, it emerged yesterday.

As well as having been signed off from training with depression in 2008, it was reported this morning that Lubitz had continued to receive mental health support up until this week's crash.

German newspaper Bild also reported that he was in the middle of the 'relationship crisis' with his girlfriend in the weeks before the crash and may have been struggling to cope with a break-up.

The new information emerged just hours after police investigating the disaster began a four-hour search of Lubitz's flat, which he is said to have shared with a girlfriend.

Officers refused to reveal details of what they have found but have insisted no suicide note had been recovered.

Yesterday, Lubitz's boss admitted he had slipped through the ‘safety net’ and should never have been flying.

 

 

 

Airlines across Europe have now implemented a new regulation to make sure there is always 2 people in the cockpit. 

[FinalBawse]

That's a few red flags.

[Kuffir]

this whole thing stinks

[SLEAZE BALL]

That's a few red flags.

!

Bare security to keep maniacs out the cockpit when they got one flying the plane

[Yoshie]

It's ironic for sure.

Horrible situation, but psychiatric counselling could mean anything, coupled with the relationship trouble.

People are good at hiding things.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

The loss of the GermanWings Airbus is a ghastly horror. Until the facts are established, we should be careful not to rush judgements. Should it be the case that one pilot had a history of depression, we must bear in mind that so do several million people in this country.

Ay?

[Kuffir]

come on this guy is a blatant patsy

Oh, won't lie I glanced over that.

[i5_PRODUCER]

This + the other incidents last year have put me off flying completely. Allow it.

 

Must have been peak to be on board , would probably have passed out if i looked out the window.

[Heero Yuy]

I couldn't picture never flying again as much as I dislike it.

 

But I Always make sure I'm waved on the plane

Your chances of any incident are slimmer than you probably realise.

[Heero Yuy]

Doesn't matter how slim it's still unnerving for me when I'm on a plane.

 

The odds are a long shot but I'm sure no one ever thinks it's gonna happen to them

 

until it does 

[Niall Ferguson]

 

 

The odds are a longshot 

This is all that matters.

 

Maths >>> Irrationality

[Heero Yuy]

Fear isn't based on logic though.

[Niall Ferguson]

Fear isn't based on logic though.

 

Very true.

[i5_PRODUCER]

That argument about " the chances of you going down bla bla bla " is 100% valid though.

 

i remember when my flight got canceled coming back from Portugal during the smoke in the clouds or whatever it was. flew back the next day.

 

pops was going mad that i left in the first place , handkerchief touched his forehead AT LEAST 100 times during my flight back.

Bottom line is , you can never be 100% sure you'll make it to other end or not , is it worth the risk , nowadays?

 

Suppose the same logic can be applied to most things in life.

What do you mean is it worth the risk of flying nowadays, what days are these?

[dub]

I wouldn't go flying near warzones but beyond that there shouldn't be any fear. You're more likely to die in a car than you are on a plane.

Mate, just look at this:

Realise how many planes are in the air at all times, and these are just the commercial ones.

 

It's very safe.

 

I do still take a deep breath when we prepare to land however..
