Find it odd that the US is ruling out hijacking/terrorism as cause of Germanwings tragedy in France. Surely the sudden and rapid descent and lack of mayday signal are consistent with someone storming the cockpit. You might expect a claim of responsibility if that was the case, and there hasn’t been one of those (yet), but in eight minutes there was no time for a mayday signal or someone to make a mobile call? Odd.
And I see the Telegraph says that Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked.
Couldn’t be Clarkson. Wouldn’t fit in the cockpit.
I’d say aircraft crash investigators die a little every time they read something like this.
These terrible crash pictures with debris spread out over miles always make me wonder about the curious images from flight 9-3 and the pentagon attack on 9-11.
The same thought flitted thru my mind after the shock of seeing the complete obliteration of yesterday’s plane. But I know so little about aviation – or even basic physics- and that thought puts us in such dubious company that I suppressed it!
Grim task there for the recovery teams.
Thanks Mirror. I hadn’t thought of the utter terror of 8 minutes knowing you’re going to die in a plane before you went to those great efforts to spread that terror around.
Thanks Mirror. Thanks for the TERROR.
