Oh Please Don't let the Germanwings Crash be Terrorism Related: Pilot Locked out of Cockpit by Other Pilot

Here is hoping the pilot left in the cockpit had a heart attack or something. But this sounds pretty ominous.

One of the pilots on the German Airbus plane that crashed in the French Alps, killing everyone onboard, left the cockpit and was unable to return before the plane went down, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing evidence from a cockpit voice recorder.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” an unnamed investigator told the Times. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”

“You can hear he is trying to smash the door down,” the investigator added.

So maybe the pilot left in the cockpit stroked out or had a heart attack or something. I mean the plane had a gradual decent for 8 minutes and not a rapid decent so that sounds plausible. 

In any case the stupid 9/11 hijackers caused 150 more deaths. If not for the hijackers on 9/11 we would not need door locks on these planes. At the very least the pilot that left the cockpit would have carried a spare key so he can get back in. Instead he cannot do that in case some terrorist scumbag jumps him and steals the key and then crashes the plane. It looks like the guy that needed to be in there couldn't for whatever reason. That reason will be very important going forward.
