Mar 25th, 2015 - 11:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0R.I.P.
Very sad..
This is another odd one. A 16 minute apparently controlled descent into a mountain without any distress signals from the cockpit or passengers.
Mar 25th, 2015 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The aircraft had accumulated about 58,300 flight hours on 46,700 flights. The original Design Service Goal (DSG) of the aircraft was 60,000 hours or 48,000 flights. In 2012, an optional Extended Service Goal (ESG1) was approved, extending the service life to 120,000 hours or 60,000 flights, provided that a required package of service and inspections were performed before the DSG was reached.
Mar 25th, 2015 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is no current information as to whether ESG1 had been carried out. However, the aircraft was transferred from Lufthansa to Germanwings (a Lufthansa low-cost subsidiary) on 31 January 2014.

Mar 25th, 2015 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Most news sources are saying 8 minutes between loss of contact and impact.
The lack of distress signals seems odd though.
Very sad news for all involved. I hope the investigators can learn what happened in order to prevent any re-occurence.
Apparently “pilot forums” cast their suspicions at cockpit window failure followed by rapid asphyxiation of all on board
Mar 25th, 2015 - 04:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6. Shall we wait for the flight recorders?
Mar 25th, 2015 - 09:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The EUians will botch up the investigation, as always.
Mar 25th, 2015 - 10:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 08. Poor EUians, they know nothing about effiency.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 02:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0The AMIA investigation since 20 years ...(4 for the price of 1)
+ Galleano's cover up.
+ Iran's memorandum to cover up.
+Nisman's murder.
I said nothing about efficiency, they are very efficient, at being incompetent EUians.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 02:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Within minutes of me writing that, news comes out that key elements of the investigation have already leaked!!!
Typical northern-fiend incompetence.
You do that there were three Argentinians on that flight....
Mar 26th, 2015 - 04:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0@10....Unlike the Nisman case where nothing was leaked at all, no smear campaigns, no government 'U' turns..'he commited suicide...no he was murdered, no he.....Iran, clarin....prostitutes, embezzling... shit.. what can we make up now....
Mar 26th, 2015 - 05:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you are talking about the Air Crash investigation, normally they release factual elements to the press to keep people informed as to the progress. What in your opinion has been leaked?

Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ignore the buffoon .....he just likes the sound of his own voice and has no experience of the real world.....he even thinks Argentina is a paradise.
@12
Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Re: Nisman. Soon after his death the K - gang began spreading rumours of alleged “inappropriate relationship” with his male assistant. They were trying to tarnish Nisman's reputation by claiming he was homosexual. A typical macho attack.
Now, either people didn't care, or didn't believe, but no matter. This smear didn't stick.
A few weeks later and they are claiming he spent government money on escort girls and drugs in straight night clubs and partied like a hardcore heterosexual homeboy!
I think they must be pretty frightened.
-------------
Meanwhile, back on topic, the news wires are saying that one of the pilots was trapped on the wrong side of a locked door.
It would be better to wait until they find the black boxes and investigate the crash,
Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0others you will end up believing conspiracy theories everywhere,
and that helps no one,
the truth will come out, and the relatives can then live again.
a sad and tragic event may they rest in peace...
A crazy EUian is to blame. Useless race, the European! The lot of them!

Mar 26th, 2015 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What an ignorant little prat you are. Glorying in the death of 150 people.
You consider yourself as Argentina's finest....I suppose that sums it up.
If you are typical of the Argentinian people then a 100 Megaton blast would do you the world of good....ground zero at Mendoza !!!
@17
Mar 26th, 2015 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh please, you EUians would celebrate the death of 40 million argies. Just like you gloried on the death of 40+ on that train two years ago, just to spite CFK. Or the deaths in La Plata a year or so ago, to glory on against the gov too.
Everytime argies die you all celebrate and use the tragedy within minutes for your own personal purposes.
Get out of here, useless Britto!

Mar 26th, 2015 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh please, you EUians would celebrate the death of 40 million argies
can you please supply names and addresses of these 40 million dead argies,
or is this more brainwashing by your masters.
you idiots should show some respect for the death of 150 people.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and instead of playing the detectives, when it is clear that you dont even have the intelligence to wipe their own ass, you should wait for the test results, flight recorder, etc.
the last results say it was a deliberate act of the 2nd pilot.
so shut the fuck up.
EUians don't respect the dead. They have shown and proved it EVERY SINGLE TIME they have celebrated, laughed at, and used the death of argies as propaganda vehicles. Can you get more disgusting and sub-human than that?
Mar 26th, 2015 - 04:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have said nothing to insult the dead. I only said the EUians will botch things as per normal (tick), and then than a crazy EUian was a direct cause (and I know crazy EUian is an oxymoron, but had to be stated).
For once POLLY is correct!
Mar 26th, 2015 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The PIC (Pilot in Charge) went for a pee and the cabin door code was changed by the First Officer before the PIC got back.
To help overcome hijacks from the usual suspects the code can be changed on the flight deck only (in the plane).
I wonder if the cretin who crashed it had recently converted from the “Religion of Peace”, you know the one: they murder everybody who wants to leave or won't join.
Such a tragedy for everyone else on board.

Mar 26th, 2015 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What are you using for a brain ....a leaky sponge ?
A few misguided posters here wish ALL Argentinians ill, so by your twisted logic all Europeans. Americans, Australians and anyone of a supposed “Anglo” background” must also hate Argentinians and wish them destroyed.
Again, by your twisted logic, you should hate everybody in this category and wish them destroyed ....wait a minute, is that not what ISIS wants.
Congratulations, your philosophy coincides with theirs.
Get out of here, useless Britto!
Where is here ?
As to useless, at least I worked for a living and did not sponge off others as you appear to. What use are you ? You don't work, have never travelled out of your own backyard and do nothing but pontificate about matters outwith your experience. So, it begs the question, what use are you to mankind except for stealing oxygen.

Mar 27th, 2015 - 01:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0is this how you escape from the truth, insulting ,
if you are wrong, then be a man and admit it,
throwing insults just tells everybody how silly you are,
an opinion is an opinion.
Besides if all you argies , duplicating each other are correct,
then the Falkland's will be returned in 24 years 11 months and 29 days...lolol

Mar 27th, 2015 - 01:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and where i was wrong, you knucklehead?
surely you, like the other piece of scum ilsen are the kind of people who do not respect the death of 150 just because they were not british.
and surely you, like the other piece of scum of ilsen are the kind of people who want to play the detectives when you don't even know to spell your own names.
as for the “accident”, as i wisely said, it was on purpose.
so both of you should shut the fuck up.
Oh dear, you are upset are you not,
Mar 27th, 2015 - 01:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but it is you that has embarrassed yourself with silly remarks on what would be considered a sad page,
one would suggest you acquire a new cue card from your boss.
lol

Mar 27th, 2015 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you are a pathetic sick child.
no one has shown a lack of respect for the victims and those close to them. (with the exception of STroll with the_TroLL).
you should also be aware that there were three Britons also died in this tragedy.
the way you rant and rave, try to insult people with childish names just shows what a worthless person you are.
31/32
Mar 27th, 2015 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0imbeciles
all of you are known for showing lack of respect to all the victims who are not british.
from the idipsum maximum conqueror, to ilsen, you and the rest of the scum of this 4th class site.
you all rejoice with any fatal accident in argentina.
this case, though in france, is not the exception.
Such childish behaviour from a toy throwing person,
Mar 27th, 2015 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ignoring's will be ignored.
Three Argentines died.
Mar 28th, 2015 - 07:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Three Britons died.
Lots of Germans and Spanish died.
No where have I shown any disrespect to any of those people.
I have shown paulie to be a fool and I have shown that I will not be shouted down by a stupid paco-addicted kid who can't even write proper English.
