150 dead inc 16 school children

terrible tragedy

35000ft descent in 8mins


the a320 has a working life of 6-8 years before refit and 19yrs before they should be 'retired'. this one was 24yrs old

let this be a warning - dont fly poverty airlines.

I can't even imagine losing one's child/children. That sounds like the worst. My thoughts are with the families.

Has anyone seen Alive?

read ysterday that if they lost pressure at 38k feet they would have to get lower so ppl could breathe (to around 10k feet). The o2 masks give air for 10mins so 3k feet per minute descent would have just about got them to the right altitude so passengers could breathe ok. maybe they just lost control or something after that. so sad

according to swiss newspapers, their descent was orderly and normal descending speed. nothing overly chaotic. and an A320 could've reached Nizza airport even with failing turbines... a lot of confusion around what happened, sadly.

Anybody got screenshots of the Twitter page?

[leyenda]

When I looked it had no tweets, just the about me section saying stuff like "I'm a terrible pilot" etc.

if the copilot wasnt white it would have been classed as an act of terrorism
