I'm afraid you don't have any audio recording. It hasn't been released. There is a supposed transcript leaked to German media, but it is pure hearsay nor is it anything like official. It wasn't produced in a press conference with any kind of normal explanation or Q and A. Additionally, pilot and cockpit's associations do not agree with how this has been done at all:

Recordings give you an indication that something strange might be going on, but from there you have to find other evidence from the data recorder or even a reconstruction of the plane itself to find out was actually going on and match it up.

People are extrapolating an awful lot from a bunch of sounds.

It's not typical. You'd get an air accident investigation team talking about it.

......and those conclusions are being made before any full investigation has been made or a report has been produced or before anyone has understood what happened to the plane as a result.

Do you see the massive hole you've dug for yourself here?

You'd certainly get a press conference detailing what is going to be done, asking for calm and the time to let the investigators do their work without any ridiculous speculation.

Yer, I think you need to re-read back what you've written there, comprehend what it means and then have a look at the conclusions the prosecutor has come to before such an investigation has been completed.

No. I don't know where you get that idea nor why you're winding yourself up in the word 'conspiracy'. Certainly, in the absence of some or all of the data it is essential the plane is reconstructed as much as possible, and given the state of it and the wide area of wreckage that will take some considerable time - as it always does. Without matching up the state of the aircraft, what has happened to it and retrieving any data possible any voice data useless.

It's always amusing to me that anyone who questions anything is somehow a 'conspiracy theorist', and then anti-conspiracy theorists then ironically become the biggest conspiracy nuts of all. They start throwing stories about aliens and other stuff into the mix to try and make it seem all so unbelievable.

Bit of a problem that when all you have is the voice recording data.

A voice recorder most certainly does not tell you that at all, and it certainly does not tell you how or why. After that, whatever you extrapolate is null and void.

Again, you're leading yourself into ridiculous explanations. There can be a plane electrical failure, cockpit fire, release of noxious fumes.......anything is possible before you start sending the heavies around to a pilot's house to dig about in his personal belongings from which you can extrapolate *anything*. Point is, in an air CRASH investigation you eliminate those things first.

You're just continually shooting around in the dark with nothing to say.

No, it wouldn't.

For one, you have no idea who really has left the cockpit, who has come back in or what they're actually doing.....hence this whole 'video' thing.

I'm afraid all that serves to highlight how speculating from a bunch of audio noises before you've corroborated it with other data and evidence (like data recordings which are apparently gone) is utterly idiotic. Any number of things could have happened here. However, from all of that we now have a pilot (pick one at random, it doesn't matter) who was on a suicide death mission even before takeoff. It's not like pilots haven't simply been blamed before in the absence of evidence, but this one takes the biscuit.

Anyone seeing how stupid this is yet?

Indeed, but the problem here is that we don't have the data recorder.

Again, completely convincing AC material.

Are people who post as AC part of the Lone Gunmen or something?

Yer, the problem about questioning anything of any description whatsoever is it's because you've obviously been infected by that alien black oil........

When you've run out of counterarguments it's always the 'goto' explanation. Along with the sharks and laser beams. That's a given.

Not that I believe he's the only one who's heard this recording, whatever it is. That's a strawman I neversaid. He's the only one making conclusions from it though.

That's some real speculative bullshit by yet another Anonymous Coward in order to try and muddy the waters, but it's as good as anything we've had. Maybe the pilot was a loner or something? We all know people who aren't social are at risk of blowing people away any second of the day. The things you'd find out about a lot of pilots would shock you, but they don't start flying planes into mountain sides. Complete supposition.

If you have something to back that up then be my guest. It would certainly make a great film or a TV series. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with how this plane crashed, and we won't know until it is pieced together and/or data recording acquired and retrieved and put together with any audio recordings. That's a bit of a slight problem considering the plane is currently spread over a few mountain sides.

That's a great argument Mr Anonymous Coward. Pity it has nothing to do with what I've argued nor is there anything there to back it up.

I realise every time I post the logical fallacies in response start increasing and the comments get shorter. Speaking of which:

Eh? No, the pilot wasn't my personal friend nor any other relation to me, so......you're now reduced to ad hominems.

Oh, and yes, let's let an investigation close out before.........I don't know, we start character assassinating a pilot and his personal background through the media without establishing how the plane crashed first - a process which can take months, or years in terms of piecing together the wreckage of this aircraft.
