Germanwings Plane Crash Was No Accident
hcs_$reboot writes The Germanwings plane crash takes a scary turn. After a couple of days investigation, it appears that the co-pilot requested control of the aircraft about 20 minutes into the flight. The pilot then left the cockpit, leaving the co-pilot in full control of the plane. Then, the co-pilot manually and "intentionally" set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountainside in the southern French Alps. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, a 28-year-old German national, could be heard breathing throughout the plane's descent and was alive at the point of impact, according to the prosecutor.
So the entire crew disregards European protocol to keep the co-pilot company at all times, and in response the co-pilot locks the door with a 20 minute lock-out code? Did everyone find him just too derpressing to spend time with him?
It's a single switch. Dont make it sound like he pushed a dresser in front of the door.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Just $300 million? So, he handled restocking the Pentagon with toilet paper or something?
I know several of your friends and they all pointed out you're a habitual liar.
...its rare that a person feints while in a seated position,...
That's not true at all. For example, often times when I am relegated to the middle seat on an airplane I'll get all fidgety and unbuckle my belt. The aisle seat passenger will assume I need to get up and start to get his/her stuff in order so that I may be let out. Then I just settle back in to my chair and keep watching my movie.
I think you meant, "faint".
its rare that a person feints while in a seated position, its far more common while standing.
Only because it's hard to advance or retreat from a seated position. I bet there's an example in a Three Musketeers movie though. Allez!
What about a stroke while still breathing, locking accidentally the door to "locked from inside", triggering accidentally the descent mechanism, accidentally not answering the door?

I'm pretty sure that the autoland feature refuses to cooperate in the middle of the Alps.
So beware of all Frenchmen.

They applied that patch a while ago already. But they also forgot the tailing ';' and the patch could not be accepted.
