BREAKING! Desperate pilot used ax on locked cockpit door of doomed Germanwings plane

From Washington Post article:

In a last-ditch attempt to enter the cockpit, the pilot of doomed Germanwings Flight 9525 used an ax to try to break down the reinforced door moments before the plane slammed into the French Alps, reports said Friday.

The accounts added another dramatic and tragic image as Tuesday’s tragedy unfolded: passengers crying out in terror as they realized the plane was on a collision course with the peaks, and the pilot desperately trying to override the apparent lockout measures of co-pilot Andreas Lubitz and regain control of the Airbus A320.

Why didn't anyone try to contact an air tower?

Or someone to say goodbye?

What do you think about the fact that the Black Box was missing the chip?

It's horrible beyond thinking!!!! If true....

it took 8 min to descend, its odd that no passengers took out their phones to call, text, etc..

"The German newspaper Bild, citing security sources, also reported the pilot tried to slice into the door with an ax, which is part of the normal cockpit safety equipment aboard an A320 for uses such opening gaps in walls to extinguish a fire.

An ax, however, would likely be insufficient to splinter current cockpit doors, which have been made near combat-grade strength since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."



O'rly?

axe huh..

This is such crap!!

Axe is located inside the cockpit. For this to be true, he had to take the axe with him when n he exited in the first place.

The PTB reeeeally want us to believe this co-pilot did this. Why?

PROBLEM REACTION SOLUTION I BET THE DOOR MAKER UPGRADER NEVER THOGHT THEIR "DOOR" WOULD TAKE DOWN A GIANT JET AEROPLANE!!!! DAFUKKKKKKKK

Does anyone find the recording of the whole CVR? Did they releaase that?
