Odd. Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Fly with Germanwings all the time. Surprising. RIP Yeah. I've flown with Germanwings as a 13 year old when I was visiting my gramps to Hanover. It really does make you think back especially since that same commercial airline industry involved in this accident was the one I used before.

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Because you flew with them and they didn't crash? No, because they're owned by Lufthansa and before today had a squeaky clean safety record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Fly with Germanwings all the time. Surprising. RIP I just looked up Lufthansa's crash/incident history and it is quite good. It had a few hijackings (two in 1972, one in 1993, and one in 1977) which resulted in 4 fatalities (from the 1977 one, in which 1 crew and 3 hijackers died), a couple bad accidents prior to the 1970s, one crash in the mid-70s, and the most relevant one being an Airbus 320 in 1993 that killed two people due to pilot error (overshooting runway). That's a pretty clean record if you ask me. I also decided to look at recent Germanwings flights (which had never been involved in an air crash before), to see if anything stood out. The most recent worries were of odours (Airbus 320 model). The link is at the bottom of this post. http://www.aeroinside.com/incidents/airline/germanwings Edit: Used wiki to see the list of A320 incidents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Airbus_A320_family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's difficult to comprehend exactly what must go through someone's head in a situation like that. You can only hope that they went quickly and with little pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 One pilot left the cockpit and was unable to get back in before the plane went down.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/25/story_n_6943660.html PARIS As officials struggled Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the planes descent and was unable to get back in. - Seems there is more to this.

Certainly. Will let the official investigators give their report. So much leaked/speculation on the news. The flight data black box was found, but the memory module wasn't in it. The impact knocked it out or destroyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
