    Apparently the co-pilot locked out the pilot from the cockpit then nose dived it on purpose to kill himself and everyone on board.

    i was thinking it was a bit funny. as sad as it may seem I do like to look into this sort of stuff, find it really interesting. BUT. why was the pilot out of the cockpit so soon after taking off? why weren't they following the flights planned DIRECT route and why did they drop altitude so quickly after taking off?

    It could of been many things but its pretty obvious it was human error at fault and I personally believe it was no accident, however I do hope im wrong. its just hard to believe that a plane with a impeccable reliability/maintenance record/history would just go down like that. no mayday issued by the pilots, mayday was issued by ATC on the ground.

    they shouldn't of deviated from their route, they should of made contact to say they were and why they were, they didn't. they didn't make contact to say changing altitude etc etc it all just seems weird.

    I think that it should be made a new procedure to scramble jets when something like that happens so they can find out why and possibly stop something like this happening again.

    Its in the news they listened to the in cockpit flight recorder and the pilot left to use the toilet or something idk but the copilot didn't let the pilot back in and it can only be opened from the inside and then the co pilot nose dived it right away the flight recorder hears the copilot sobhe is conscious but ignores the pilot who's trying to get it and continues to nose dive and ignores calls from air traffic. It appears the copilot just commuted suicide and took a bunch of innocent people with him, including women and children there were even baby's aboard.

    until its out in a official report its still what the media are telling us.
    official report wont be out for atleast 5 days after the incident.
    pilot suicide isn't nice, its his family who will have to live this down for the rest of their lives and the families of the innocent I really feel for. Just read there were 3 brits aboard :(

    They quoted a prosecutor so it will be in the official report.
