The co-pilot was breathing normally for ten minutes while the door was being hammered repeatedly. Interpreting this as 'deliberate' inaction is hardly 'stray speculation'.
- frevd 12y agoWhile the breathing could also come from a heart-attack like situation where the pilot is effectively disabled, in this case he apparently activated the descending of the plane, after the pilot went out, which he can only do if he is conscious.
- johnchristopher 12y agoIsn't that a little bit off he didn't mutter any words after seizing the opportunity of his co-worker's unplanned leaving of the cockpit ?
- pdabbadabba 12y agoDo we know that he didn't? My impression from investigations like this in the past is that facts tend to be released along with the conclusions that they support, presumably to keep public speculation from getting way out ahead of the actual investigation. I would not be surprised to learn in the coming days that he did say things. But I don't think we'll find out until the investigators have a solid grasp of what this means for the investigation.
- johnchristopher 12y agoFair point. But if he did I suppose it would clarify the situation and we would know it.
- StavrosK 12y agoHow often do people mutter to themselves outside of movies? I never do.
- johnchristopher 12y agoWell. I often do (No conversation, more like interjections and half statements on what I am currently doing. And I never ever do that when someone else is with me, that'd be very rude.).
- ceejayoz 12y agoWhy would that be a little off? Not everyone mutters to an empty room.
- johnchristopher 12y agoThis is not any `empty room`. This is the front seat of a machine with high velocity hurling itself against the ground.
- ceejayoz 12y agoWith no one to talk to in it, making it an empty room. No audience. Why is it weird that he isn't talking to nobody?
- johnchristopher 12y agoBecause it's not a normal situation. edit: plus, the other pilot was knocking on the door and asking him to open it. So... there was an audience. He also certainly knew the black box would record those moments. But I give up, this is pointless.
- herge 12y agoMaybe I'm weird, but I think I'll wait for the full forensic investigation of the crash before delving into analysis of breathing patterns of the co-pilot from the black box. To each his own, I guess.
- Htsthbjig 12y agoIt is not (just) the breathing patterns, but the fact that the crew CAN OPEN THE DOOR with a code if an emergency (like a sudden decompression on the cabin that render pilots unconscious) happens. The fact that they could not, and for the voice recording it is obvious they tried, means that the pilot deliberatively blocked the door again for not letting them go in. He also cries before hitting ground.
