A passenger plane has crashed in France, with all 148 people on board thought to have died. The Airbus A320, operated by Lufthansa's Germanwings budget airline, came down in the southern French Alps between Barcelonnette and Digne. Flight 4U 9525 sent out a distress signal at 10.47am (9.47am UK time) after finding itself in an "abnormal situation" on its route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. France's President Francois Hollande said there were likely to be "no survivors" and that he expected a significant number of German casualties. "It's a tragedy on our soil," he said. "There were 148 people on board. The conditions of the accident, which have not yet been clarified, lead us to think there are no survivors." French Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said debris from the crash had been found at an altitude of 2,000 metres. He added that he expected "an extremely long and extremely difficult" search and rescue operation because of the area's remoteness. Flight-tracking data indicated the aircraft plummeted from 40,000ft to 6,200ft in the space of 10 minutes before it crashed. uk.news.yahoo.com/passenger-plane-crashes-france-reports-104953605.html#Q95qdw

French air investigators were urgently examining a black box cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from a Germanwings Airbus A320 as the retrieval effort resumed on the mountainside where the aircraft crashed in the southern Alps, killing all 150 people on board. Investigators said they were puzzled as to why the crew did not send out a mayday or distress signal as flight U49525 rapidly lost altitude for eight minutes, or why the pilot did not change course to avoid smashing into a rocky ravine at around 430mph (700kmh). In the last 10 minutes of the flight there was total radio silence from the crew of the Barcelona–Düsseldorf flight operated by Lufthansa’s low-cost subsidiary. The crash on happened around 11am Tuesday local time in calm weather. Unverified information from plane-tracking websites appeared to rule out an explosion or a mid-air stall, both of which would cause a much faster descent. Experts said planes such as the Airbus would be able to glide for some distance in the case of total engine failure. David Learmount, the operations and safety editor of Flightglobal, said on Twitter: “German-operated A320s do not crash in the cruise. Not these days. This one is weird.” www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/24/germanwings-plane-black-box-found-as-investigators-reach-crash-site

It looks like this could turn in to Hi Jacking? This passenger plane was obliterated! Report: France jet audio shows pilot locked out of cockpit SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France (AP) — The first half of Germanwings Flight 9525 was chilling in its normalcy. It took off from Barcelona en route to Duesseldorf, climbing up over the Mediterranean and turning over France. The last communication was a routine request to continue on its route. Minutes later, at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Airbus A320 inexplicably began to descend. Within 10 minutes it had plunged from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet to just over 6,000 feet and slammed into a remote mountainside. To find out why, investigators have been analyzing the mangled black box that contains an audio recording from the cockpit. Remi Jouty, the head of France's accident investigation bureau BEA, said Wednesday that it has yielded sounds and voices, but so far not the "slightest explanation" of why the plane crashed, killing all 150 on board. A newspaper report, however, suggests the audio contains intriguing information at the least: One of the pilots is heard leaving the cockpit, then banging on the door with increasing urgency in an unsuccessful attempt to get back in. "The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer," The New York Times quotes an unidentified investigator as saying. "And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer." Eventually, the newspaper quotes the investigator as saying: "You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.". uk.news.yahoo.com/black-box-1st-clues-alpine-jet-crash-killed-064937383.html#lNr8MT6 Somethings not right about this case?....I dont believe all we're being told? ??

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin says the co-pilot was alone at the controls of the Germanwings flight and "intentionally" sent the plane into the doomed descent. He said that the crew member wanted to "destroy the plane". He said: "We assume the (captain) went to the loo or something. The co-pilot is on his own in charge of the plane, and it is while he is alone that he uses the flight monitoring system which starts the descent of the plane." uk.news.yahoo.com/alps-co-pilot-crashed-deliberately-prosecutor-115413719.html#GkDLwkqMore follows...as it comes in,but we must remember to look at all evidence if poss,and not jump just coz someone says so?

Lets see what MSM is saying.....Remember to never take what MSM says as FACT? 'Depressed' Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz 'had 18 months of psychiatric help and was "unsuitable for flying"' 07:56, 27 March 2015 By Dan Bloom , Victoria Bryan German newspaper Bild claimed the 28-year-old was treated for a 'serious depressive episode' during his Lufthansa training six years ago The co-pilot who flew Germanwings Flight 4U9525 into the Alps had 18 months of psychiatric help for a 'serious depressive episode' while he was training, it was claimed today. Andreas Lubitz, 28, locked his captain out of the cockpit during a toilet break and deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 on Tuesday, killing all 150 people on board. Germany's biggest newspaper Bild claimed he received the treatment six years ago while he was training at Lufthansa's flying school - where he was classed as unsuitable for flying. Bild made its claim based on Lufthansa sources and internal documents which it said will be passed to French investigators once they have been examined by German authorities. According to a translation by The Times, a source told Bild: "During his training at Lufthansa Flight School, Andreas L was listed as unsuitable for flight duties because he spent one and a half years in psychological treatment and so he had to repeat courses. "The reason was evidently depression". Germany’s Federal Aviation Office said there was a note on his file saying he needed "specific regular medical examination", but did not specify whether it was a physical or mental health problem www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/depressed-germanwings-co-pilot-andreas-lubitz-5409439

Andreas Lubitz was signed off by two different doctors for the day of the Germanwings disaster but failed to tell his employers, it has been reported. The claims from German newspaper The Rheinische Post come after it emerged Lubitz may have crashed his plane due to fears he was about to lose his licence on medical grounds. The pilot locked his captain of the cockpit on Tuesday before setting the airliner's controls to descend into a rocky valley, obliterating the plane and killing all 150 people on board. Investigators revealed today that medical sign-off notes were found at Lubitz's home - including at least one that covered the day of the crash - and Dusseldorf University Hospital confirmed he had been a patient there over the past two months, although it would not disclose his condition. More sick notes are said to have covered other days when he flew despite being told not to. But police said they found no suicide note in a five-hour search. Speaking to MailOnline tonight, an airline spokesman stressed the company was unaware of any medical notes and said it had been Lubitz's responsibility to tell his employers he was unfit to fly. He was facing a potential medical examination that could have seen his pilot's licence removed and it is thought he may have feared mental or other health problems would bring an end to his dream. Former BA pilot Alastair Rosenschein said pilots of Lubitz's age face regular medicals as well as simulator tests and can be grounded if they fail to pass. He told MailOnline: 'He may have known that his career was already over. He may have known that the end was in sight.' Other possible explanations for Lubitz's actions are that he may have stopped taking his medication so it would not be detected in any medical tests or slipped into desperation during a crisis in his relationship. The investigation was yesterday focused on Lubitz’s medical history and mysterious personal life, which police believe hold the key to why a man given the trust of an airline and its passengers could effectively murder them. linkWhat he has done is absolutely horrific, it doesn't bare thinking about what those poor people went through in their final moments before death, knowing it was upon them.

He was a typical psychopath. He wanted recognition for something in his life. Taking all those people out in the manor that he did would almost guarantee that he will be remembered, even though its for such a heinous act. I hope he rots.
