I wonder if Lubitz was 'laconic' and 'curt' about the landing briefing because he knew there would be no landing?
I know. Not sure what the answer is. Design as we know was to keep people out of the cockpit. Seems there just is not anything anymore to keep us safe anywhere. The only thing i do wonder if a 2nd person would have deterred a persons choice of committing an evil act using a plane. I do like the idea of a 2nd person in case the seated Pilot does have a medical issue.
I thought this part of the press conference was a little sugestive. I mean,in such a briefing, a formality, a procedure they would go through on every single flight, it wouldn't be unusual to be a bit laconic. It would be something to get over with quickly, right?
There is no way to make people 100% safe. I think we have to accept that. And sometimes measures taken to prevent one danger can make you susceptible to another type of danger. Thats exactly what happened here. The locked door, meant to prevent terrorists from entering the cockpit, backfired and prevented the pilot from entering to save the plane. We just have to accept that there will always be risks.
True. And welcome! Yet if you adopt the theory this was planned it is plausible. IMO it was planned. Planned to the extent he was waiting for a trip where he was alone in the Cockpit. Look forward to your thoughts as we go thru this tragedy
After ready viewing the cockpit locking system, IMO, the locking system needs to remain as is. Fortunately this incident is an aberrant one and not the norm. However, having a flight attendant or an air marshall or off duty airline pilot within the company, might be a good idea. Hopefully, this will never happen again. IMO

What was on his computer??
Significant discovery made at co-pilot's home according to this article
"Police investigating the Germanwings crash said tonight they had made a 'significant discovery' at the home of pilot Andreas Lubitz, who deliberately ploughed the Airbus A320 into the French Alps.
Officers refused to reveal details of the potential breakthrough but said it was not a suicide note.
Speaking outside the flat on the outskirts of Dusseldorf, police said they had 'found something' that would now be taken for tests, adding it may be a 'clue' as to what happened to the doomed jet."
