Breaking News Airbus plane crashes in Southern France

The only evidence is the lack of another explanation for the strange behavior of a plane determinedly flying into a mountain. I saw a pilot on CNN say it must have been a hijacking because no pilot would do that unless it was intentional.

I wonder if the cockpits are secured in European passenger aircraft?
 
Yes, and that reaction didn't have anything to do with automation.

YES it did.


The planes onboard computer took it out of autopilot based on erroneous pitot tube readings

The crew REACTED to that and flew it into the drink.

All jet aircraft disconnect their autopilots when certain inputs fail. This is not the silly "european cultural differences" in programming you think it is. It is universal aircraft design philosophy and always has been.

There's no an airliner out there that wouldn't have done the same. An autopilot disconnecting due to failed or erroneous inputs is the desired outcome because to do otherwise would have the autopilot responding to erroneous inputs.

Would you prefer that an aircraft autopilot pitch down upon pitot ice blockage? Detecting a massive drop in airspeed and attempting to correct it. Is that what you think the automation should do?

German is targetted this time.

851. Why Malaysia airlines was selected as target (8/23/2014)

In #848, I said Malaysia was targeted because it keeps a friendship with China while China is a covert enemy of the US. In #845, I talked about German had sensed that E.U. was provoked by the US for a covert war with Russia. German is unwilling to follow the US instruction. It expelled the CIA Chief from the German as a protest.

Then a Chinese forum offered an information how Malaysia and German were hurt by heavy insurance loss in the two incidents. The insurance company of Malaysia Airline is a Germany.

German insurance company Allianz says it has made initial payments in connection with the missing Malaysian Airlines plane.

Allianz’s global head of communication Hugo Kidston confirmed Wednesday that the Munich-based insurer and “other co-reinsurers of Malaysia Airlines aviation hull and liability policy have made initial payments.”

Malaysia Airlines Girds for New Insurance Battle
By Enda Curran Updated July 18, 2014

German insurer Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty is the lead reinsurer of the Malaysia Airlines plane for its so-calleded hull and liability policy, according to a report from insurance broker Aon PLC, which valued the plane itself at $97.3 million.

The comment said, “German was shot even it was laying on the ground”.
 
The Airbus A320 that ploughed into an Alpine mountain flew “right to the end”, the investigators said, and did not explode mid-flight. It also appeared not to have suffered a sudden drop in pressure.

Bomb theory seems out the window.

It takes an awful lot of force to do that.

They're reporting now that the Captain was locked out of the Cockpit.

Looks like a terrorist attack

Or a suicide.
 
This is happening more and more.

Murder-suicides by pilots.

Given the state of the industry this would not be at all surprising. Kids putting themselves six figures in debt and then slaving away for poverty level wages despite having a hundred peoples' lives in your hands. Then getting "furloughed," which the rest of us call "laid off," because the airline ran itself into the ground. Don't worry, the CEO got himself an eight figure severance package in the process.

Although it's better in Europe, I hear.
 
who said it was a bomb.. but it could still be terrorism

my local news just reported that it appears one of the pilots was LOCKED Out of the cockpit Hmmmmm

I read that too from the voice tape where he taps on the door lightly and then he tries to smash the door down. Either the co-pilot passed out/ had a heart attack or he committed suicide perhaps.

yeah either is a possibility

Not before he put the plane into a dive and pointed it right at the alps. What are the chances of that being accidental?

Since when have the contents of the tape been leaked out? Sounds hard to believe.

I heard some stuff about oxygen loss. I fly quite a bit and have heard of such things happening even to experienced pilots. However, as it stands, what is creepiest is the supposed silence there was before the flight crashed. There was no indication of anything wrong with the plane while it was taking off. If anything, a lot of people are basically describing it as "boring". That kind of **** scares me more than a terrorist attack. Could you imagine a pilot having a heart attack mid-flight or the cockpit crew losing their marbles while flying because of oxygen? Nobody would have seen the crash coming. :(
