kept the pilot out of the cockpit after the first officer got up mid-flight. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, who briefed the media on the cockpit recording’s contents, said you could hear the pilot pounding on the door as his junior colleague starts the plane’s deadly descent into the Alps. Lubitz can be heard breathing normally on the recording for the duration. The passengers, who included school children and infants, were unaware of what was happening in the cockpit for much of the approximately eight-minute descent, but they can be heard screaming in the final moments of the recording. Robin said they were “very aware” of what was happening just before the plane smashed into the Alps. There were 144 people and six crew members on board. The pilot is only being identified as Patrick S., a father of two with over 6,000 hours of flying experience.
