PLane carrying German passenger crashes in France

[Peter Lemkin]

A real investigation [and I'm not saying this one is such] takes the facts - no matter how 'odd' they may be and starts there and works back. The last thing to assign would be motive. People are strange and do the strangest things, at times, that defy 'common' 'logic'. Defying common logic can also, granted, be a clue that something 'black' is up...but not without some reason to believe that. I've heard exactly opposite leaked evidentiary 'facts' in this case. Some reports were only of 'breathing' [i.e. he was alive]; others have said 'normal breathing'. The reports of videos seen by two media outlets have now been refuted by the French Police Officials. Its up for grabs now what the facts are short of a nearly 500mph crash directly into a mountain. Even the French fighter jets that were near the plane have not told what they saw [which is actually the correct procedure]. Usually, information is limited to almost non-existent until well into the investigation and the preliminary report is given. Not in this case. I don't know if that makes it suspicious or just pressured by business considerations. It is easier to blame the dead pilot than to blame the airline or the industry [for the airlines]. I do believe remote take over of aircraft technology exists...I'm not sure if for Airbus. I thought mostly for American built craft, but may be wrong here. Airbus has special and quite different electronics and autopilot than American craft do. Feel free to imagine what ever scenario you like....but to me, unlike some other recent downed or missing aircraft, this one doesn't yet [to me] have enough information to make a 'call'. That said, the officially leaked version is consistent with the officially leaked evidence [including possible motive and actions] - now to see if that holds up. We will NEVER know what was going on in his mind - unless we miraculously find he was unconscious at the time. That will always be greatly in the realm of speculation and will differ in other's minds according to how they perceive humans, generally, as capable of under different stress and scenarios. Some of the pieces of the plane and passenger parts were propelled up to one meter into the loose rock surface. It will be a year or more before most are found. It was a horror for the families - as no pieces of their loved ones very large will be returned, and many will not be complete even in many pieces. They only have found small parts of less than half of the passengers so far...(i.e. on the surface). Grizzly! If one looks at the photos of the rescue workers - they have zip lock bags - gallon size and smaller. I believe only a few pieces of the plane found were larger than one meter across. All was pulverized.
