Indeed, that puts it down to one of three things.

1) Pilot incapacitation
2) Pilot Suicide
3) Pilot terrorism

3 is quite unlikely, 2 goes against the fairly steady rate of descent versus a nose dive, so out of the two man crew it's possible that the pilot had a Moorgate moment and went into the deck.

Makes one wonder.

Illness and fainted and /or died ?

Suicide ?

There's one thing I'm not going to use and that's terror.

Maybe there's some other cause to why

From CNN source.

• FBI agents based in France, Germany and Spain are looking through intelligence sources and cross-referencing the passenger manifest of Germanwings Flight 9525, two senior law enforcement officials said. So far, their search hasn't turned up anything that "stands out" or anything linking the passengers to criminal activity, according to one official.

Wow, okay. If the pilot locked out story turns out true, then this may be not at all unlike the LAM 470 crash I mentioned from just over a year ago.

• Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told reporters the company was struggling to understand how an airplane that “was in perfect technical condition” with two experienced pilots “was involved in such a terrible accident.” The crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 in the French Alps, he said, “represents the darkest hours in the 60-year history of our Lufthansa Group.”


Im still of the opinion this was a deliberate act. Simply because statistcally speaking they were in the safest portion of the flight when it went down.

Lufthansa indicates that it has no information to indicate one pilot was locked out of the cockpit

It could well be a case of Chinese whispers, it wouldn't be the first time.
