A Germanwings Airbus A320 plane crashed

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Is it not a bit early to decide that it _must_ be a suicide?
Whilst highly probable, isn't the idea that you are innocent until proven guilty?
He could have had a heart attack or similar...

No. It is reported he can clearly be heard breathing normally throughout the ordeal on the cockpit voice recorder. He also has a history of mental health issues and was declared by a doctor "unfit to work" shortly before that flight...but the airlines was not made aware by that doctor.

of course he can have had a heart attack... but only AFTER

- he switched the door lock to "permanently locked", what is done only when the plane is under attack

AND

- set the autopilot manually to 96ft a few seconds after the captain had left... in an area that is on 6,000ft

cheers. :hattip:

mentioning the passengers screaming might seem disgusting...

but perhaps, this was a major reason why the whole thing happened... i do believe by now...

this guy was anxious, anxious, anxious and in between he was anxious...

it drove him nuts...

he was having many appointments at the various neuro psycho experts, one after the other.
it seems, he picked up the prescribed meds, but only to NOT take them... they were piling up at home..
sure, they make drowsy, tired or what not... and he wanted to fly...

perhaps, it gave him relief some sort of to hear them screaming fearing death, him having the control...
...after all...

perhaps.

he was on sick-leave for bipolar disorder (manic-depressive).
but also this (alone) cant really explain, why one flys 150 ppl into death...?

Wow, looks like there might be a cell phone video leading up to the crash.

CNN has someone disputing the report about existence of cell phone video; what to believe, what to believe!
