On a kinda related note I would love to see the return of the zeppelin. Like ocean cruise ships but in the sky. Change the gas for a not explosive one and we are away

There are 30 million commercial flights every year. Chances of being involved in a fatal crash are very, very slim.
Planes and regulations are safer than ever.
However this looks like a preventable incident. Nobody should have to die because of a suicidal pilot.

Very sad to see that another plain has gone down, the people on board must have been very scared, as said earlier in the thread, I cannot believe that in this day and age the computer on a plain does not take over and correct the flight path?

Words can't express the shock you feel when news like this breaks. Those poor people on board must have
been terrified for a long time seeing the pilot and cabin crew trying desperately to smash their way into
the cockpit, knowing full well what was coming.
I cant help feeling that, indirectly, terrorism wins again today. The safety locking system on the cockpit door
was a post 9-11 measure.

I think that theres no right answer for all these solutions, I'm sure theres lots of aviation and security professionals that at the end of the day made a decision on the back of a risk assessment of possible scenarios and thats all they can do.

maybe it should be so that only the pilots know how to over ride the lock. But then what's to say a pilot isn't threatened with his life to open and over ride it!?! Gone are the days of seeing the pilot fly your plane, as a kid. If someone's gonna overide the controls or pilot, I guess there are ways and no stopping it. A real shame. God bless the innocent lives lost on that flight.

Latest from the Mail Online
he Germanwings pilot who deliberately crashed into a mountain killing all 150 on board had to stop his training because he was suffering from depression and 'burnout', it emerged today. Andreas G?nter Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit before ploughing the Airbus A320 into the French Alps at more than 400mph. The chilling final moments of the doomed jet were revealed today by French prosecutors who said Lubitz's sole aim was to 'destroy the plane'. It has since emerged that the 28-year-old was forced to postpone his pilot training in 2008 because of mental health problems, with a friend saying he was 'in depression.' Carsten Spohr, chairman of Germanwings' parents company Lufthansa, confirmed that he had taken several months off work and had to retrain to join the firm.''Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'
