No survivors in crash of Germanwings jet carrying 150; black box recovered

[Blackleaf]

I can't figure out if you're lying or if you're so stupid that's what you actually got from my posts. Or both.

I immediately suspected the Muslims. You didn't. That's because I have a lot more common sense than you.

And when another plane crash occurs, I'll immediately suspect the Muslims again, just like I believe they were behind the disappearance of MH370, as many people do.

Ah, but that's not what you said before, is it, Blackleaf?

What you said was, and I quote:

"you immediately suspected Christian extremists, probably German Lutherans."

The good news is that anybody can go back through this thread and see that you are a liar.

I'll say again: I suspected the Muslims, you suspected white Christian extremists (that's because I'm not a loony lefty and therefore I have a lot of common sense). None of those were the culprits, but it was FAR FAR more likely that I would have been right than you.

The first suspects in all such cases in the early years of the 21st century are - quite rightly - the Muslims. And if another plane crash should occur again soon, the Muslims will once again be my first suspects.

Someone didn't enjoy their crow.

Too salty, perhaps?

Woman pretended to be Germanwings crash relative to get free flights: Reports

A woman allegedly pretended to be a cousin of a Germanwings crash victim to get free flights to the French Alps, according to German media reports.
The woman reportedly claimed to be related to a German teacher killed on the flight and went on two trips at Lufthansa's expense with three companions, visited the crash site and accepted counselling, according to Halterner Zeitung, in a report translated by The Local.
Germanwings' parent company, Lufthansa, arranged free flights for the relatives of victims to visit the crash site in southern France after the Airbus crashed March 24, killing all 150 on board.
The woman is believed to have duped the airline because only a "certain plausability" was required to access the flights to avoid causing further burden to family members, a spokesman said.
"We regret very much that the relatives were disturbed in their mourning by this event," a spokesman told the Westfalen-Blatt.
Lufthansa reported the woman to police and they have launched an investigation, the reports said.

I hope they charge her and recoup their loss her

If Blackleaf were on a plane and he heard this:

Knock, knock!
-Who's there?
It's the pilot!
-You sure?
Yes, I'm sure, Moe!

He should set his crumpits with clotted cream aside and post as many British cultural epics as humanly possible.

Swiss International Air Lines is to abolish a rule requiring two people to be in the cockpit at all times after a comprehensive safety review.

The rule came into effect as a precautionary measure in 2015 following the Germanwings tragedy in March of that year when suicidal co-pilot Andreas Lubitz intentionally crashed the plane he was flying, killing 144 passengers and six crew.

After the crash many airlines introduced the two-person rule, meaning if one of the two pilots left the cockpit at any time their place had to be temporarily filled with another crew member.

A safety review “concluded that the requirement of having two crew members in the cockpit at all times during a flight does not enhance safety, and actually introduces additional risks to daily operations in flight safety terms (such as the fact that the rule results in more and longer openings of the cockpit door),” it said.

“Swiss also meets all the requirements demanded by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) of any airline seeking to abolish the rule,” it added, including suitable selection criteria for pilots, ensuring stable employment terms and giving pilots easy access to psychological support.
