«« Germanwings crash: Descent may have been ‘deliberate, suicidal choice’ by pilot, claims experts
The descent to destruction of the Germanwings Airbus may have been a deliberate, suicidal choice by the pilot who remained in the cockpit, French aviation experts believe.
They said that a conscious decision must have been made by the remaining pilot to put the Barcelona-Dusseldorf flight onto a downward 11-minute descent until it collided with a mountain in the French Alps.
Following the revelation that one of the two pilots was locked out of the cockpit , the experts told the French news agency AFP that events pointed to either the suicide or sudden illness of the remaining pilot.
Illness was very unlikely, they said, because a conscious decision must have been made to place the aircraft on a gentle downward trajectory.
“A downward trajectory of this kind can only be the result of a voluntary action by the crew,” an expert told AFP.
“Flying straight into the mountains makes no sense,” the expert said. “It is either an abnormal action by the crew, while perfectly aware of what they are doing, or an inability to react for some reason.”
AFP quoted investigaton sources in France as confirming the broad outine of the New York Times revelation that one of the two pilots appeared to have been locked out of the cockpit.
The sound recording in the black box recovered on Tuesday is well-preserved, the sources told AFP. “At the beginning of the flight you can hear the crew talking normally. Then you hear the noise of one of the seats being pushed back and a door opening and closing. There is no more conversation from that moment until the crash.”
Alarms are heard to sound as the aircraft approaches the ground. »»
