Germanwings Crash: One Pilot locked out of cockpit at time of crash

Okay, so either the pilot went crazy or a fool locked himself out.

My money is on crazy.

I think the guy passed out or had a heart attack and the door could only be opened from the inside. Crazy there isn't a way to override that.

They reinforced cockpit doors after September 11th. While that will protect the pilots from passengers it could have negative consequences.

Could plane cockpits be too secure?

"Nobody ever thought about having to protect the passengers from the pilots," Jetblue founder and former CEO David Neeleman says.

Should have video feed from cockpit on future flights.

How the frick do they know this? Everyone died.

Its fricking 2015 and we still rely on ancient technology to record flight details and audio. I know the same was said about the Malaysia flights, but enough is enough. They need to come up with something better. Pilots need to get their heads out pf their asses if they don't want to sacrifice some privacy to help further the safety of passengers. All of my communications at work are recorded real time. I don't see why they should get some special privilege.

Ok, pilot locked out of cockpit

Pilot in cockpit had a medical emergency and died/incapacitated.

Isn't the airplane on autopilot? Simply because the pilot died/incapacitate shouldn't mean the plane would start a descent and crash.

And...no pilot would leave the cockpit unless they were in hands off cruise mode.

so we can put lane correction and object detection/avoidance in cars but not in planes??! come on mannnnn

Fox News reporting that German authorities have deemed it pilot suicide. No link yet.
