I have finally managed to fly without drugs, or minimal ativan.

So minimal I barely notice it.

I can't speak to families reactions, which might be dreadful, or their desires to know -everything- as it's likely this varies by each person surviving a victim.

But this is really unusual, it's looking like a program to push emotions and blame in a particular direction.

All I do is ask, other than culpability what could drive this stream of escaping information? It goes way beyond dribbling that could be called leaking.

So all I can do is ask a question.

Personally, I find it odd but possibly ultimately coincidental that much of this comes via French tabloid about a crash of an airframe made by a French company and that most of the leaks have come from a French prosecutor's office rather than transportation safety official...

Regardless of my personal doubts and tinfoil thinking...this amount of leaking is pretty unprecedented...to the point of raising questions about what's driving the information leaks.

I can't imagine that they didn't pay for the info.

except what I encountered via the US media.

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. Posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports are restricted in this forum. Conspiracy theories and disruptive meta-discussion are forbidden.

If you cant say anything, then why post that you can't?

that's not in question

Asking what could be behind such an unusual and unlikely to be accidental string of events it isn't posting a conspiracy...it's asking a question.

They will print anything and without second sources. You may be confusing their direct reporting nature compared to ours.

in the past.

I don't really blame the media. They want to publish news, especially news that sizzles and sells advertising.

But, the information reaching the press is coming out of the investigation.

Typically in such investigations discoveries are held confidential to prevent pollution of the investigation by persons seeking attention or pursuing grievances. The media are of cource keen on publishing stories, without concern for the investigation, or -honestly- much concern about bending stories to make them sell soap.

What precisely (rather than a general allegation) about the leaks are unprecedented?

what's emerging is information that's crucial to confirm in an information environment that isn't polluted.

Typically after months of investigation and preparing a narrative, the investigation report is released. It can certainly include all the sort of information that's being released.

The difference is investigations usually try to protect themselves and the pursuit of the truth from the sorts of spurious information that arise from this sort of leaking.

Is this a Boeing conspiracy? Is that what you are getting at?

that apparently assembles this airframe in both France and Germany

I would think Airbus, like any other manufacturer, has an interest in not having a design feature blamed as contributing to a crash.

I would think Lufthansa, the operator has interest in not having operating procedures or crew selection/training/airworthiness blamed as contributing to the crash.

Do such interests raise anything other than questions? Not at this time. But the reporting, and consequently the leaking, involved in this investigation is in very rare territory.

Reports: Video found in wreckage shows Germanwings flight's final seconds

Dusseldorf, Germany (CNN)Video found in the wreckage on a French mountainside shows the nightmarish final seconds of Germanwings Flight 9525, reports said Tuesday.

Taken on a cell phone, the video "was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them," according to the French magazine Paris Match, which obtained the video along with the German newspaper Bild.

"One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages. Metallic banging can also be heard more than three times, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing," Paris Match reports.

profoundly sad.

The nightmares for me would be relentless...

Such news is not what I would want a relative to first discover via a tabloid.

Something is pretty unusual with the people handling sensitive confidential information.

It makes our supermarket tabloids look like Dr. Suess books.

The BEA shouldn't let that video see the light of day for years, if ever...
