Germanwings A320 aircraft flying from Barcelona to Düsseldorf goes down in southern French Alps with 148 on board


The Airbus A320 making the flight for Lufthansa’s lowcost arm, Germanwings, crashed near the small mountain village of Barcelonette in the southern Alps. It had made a distress call at 10.47am then disappeared off the radar at around 11.20am, Le Figaro reported.

The French TV station iTele said there had been at least 142 passengers and six crew-members on board.

The French president, François Hollande, said it was likely there were no survivors.

He said the crash happened in “an area that was very difficult to access” and did not know yet whether any homes had been affected on the ground. “Solidarity is our first sentiment at this moment,” he said.

Airbus said it is aware of the reports of a crash but could not confirm.

Sad news.

[planosteve]

Now saying there were 150 people on board.
The plane didn't change course after it started descending which appeared to be a rapid but controlled descent.
Crashed in a very remote mountainous area. Debris has been spotted at 6,500 ft.
This plane has an transponder that automaticly squawks an emergency code for mechanical problems. That didn't happen.
Also no hijack squawk.

Yeah, it sounds like foul play to me. It happened fast. But, they have got the black box already so we might get some good information pretty soon.

Probably the Amish.

An eight minute decent into the side of a mountain? I wonder. The Captain had 6000 hrs. on that aircraft. No SOS, Mayday, or anything else. Decompression seem a reach. I may be wrong, but I smell something wrong in the woodpile.

GOOD , so I'm not the only one thinking a problem like maybe terrorism . That's what I thought when I first heard , I thought midair explosion !! Wonder if we'll ever know the truth !!

I am nothing but an old Truck Driver. My Late Grand-Father however, flew pretty much all of his life. From Stearmans on up. Retired after 30 yrs with American. Retired the year before DFW Opened. Mid air explosion or decompression does not seem right. Something is way off with this deal.

Jim Stone did a screen caputure of the initial information posted on the UK Telegraph story. It included a statement that witnesses reported hearing a loud bang
and then saw jet fighters. Then shortly after, that information was scrubbed from the website.
I noted that on the CBS TV report tonight they made it a point to interview someone in the area who stated that they heard nothing. I think that the debris field indicates the plane was destroyed in the air, not when it hit the mountain. Like the airliner shot down by the Ukraine govt. Also, the TV reports this morning first said there was a transmission after the plane started descending. Then they changed their story and said there was no transmission. They had 10 minutes after the plane started down before it crashed. This aircraft is the only airliner that currently has the ability to be flown by remote control.

I think the coverup has begun.

To be honest. This is my opinion and mine only, keep that in mind please. You Sir, are as crazy as a Shit-House Mouse.

No great loss, but now we can't watch CNN for a few weeks.

So what is the blondes on Fox New's opinion?

Not sure they've read your stuff.

It's not my stuff. I don't do the research, I'm just the incredibly clued-in messenger.

Or we have be the victim of a decade plus practical joke !

Nighty night. Just a thought. Be careful with the "S" word. You know that the FCC is now running the internet. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble. Maybe use $hit instead.

Still no mention by the MSM that the A320 airbus has an "anti hijack" system which can be used to control the aircraft remotely. This was the only aircraft that still has the system. It was disabled on other aircraft after 9/11. They left it on the A320 since it was considered to be unhackable. Maybe not.
Also, no mention of the witness that observed fighter A/C in the area at the same time. That info was also scrubbed from the internet.
Cockpit voice recorder recovered but is badly damaged. No way to know if it can be used or if it can that they will ever release the information on it.
Indication is that it was intentionally flown straight down at max speed directly into the mountain and impacted at 400 to 600 MPH. It is so rugged that copters can't land. Workers have to be lowered to the ground by cable. This is going to take a long time.

That would mean a Muslim commandeered the plane.
