Pilot of doomed Flight 4U 9525 jet was 'locked out of cockpit before
crash', black box recorder reveals | 25
March 2015 | One of the two pilots on board the ill-fated Germanwings plane was
locked out of the cockpit minutes before the aircraft crashed into a remote
region of the French Alps, it has been reported. Audio taken from the black box
voice recorder that was salvaged from the wreckage of the Airbus A320 indicates
the pilot left the cockpit and could not re-enter, according to the New York Times. The pilot is heard knocking lightly on the door
of the cockpit before trying to 'smash the door down' when his colleague fails
to answer, a senior military official told the newspaper. The revelation is the
first insight into what took place on the aircraft in the moments before the
plane plummeted into the mountainside, killing all 150 people on
board.
Germanwings Pilot Was Locked Out of Cockpit Before Crash in
France --'You can hear he is trying
to smash the door down.' | 25 March 2015 |As officials struggled
Wednesday to explain why a jet with 150 people on board crashed in relatively
clear skies, an investigator said evidence from a cockpit voice recorder
indicated one pilot left the cockpit before the plane’s descent and was unable
to get back in. A senior military official involved in the investigation
described "very smooth, very cool" conversation between the pilots during the
early part of the flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. Then the audio indicated
that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.
5 Syrian chemical facilities to be destroyed by June -
report | 25 March 2015 | A new report says
all five of Syria's underground production facilities for chemical weapons will
be destroyed by June. The latest report by the Organization for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, also notes that
work continues toward the destruction of seven aircraft hangars that were used
as additional production facilities.
Netanyahu's Spying Denials Contradicted by Secret NSA
Documents | 25 March 2015 | Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday vehemently denied a Wall Street Journal report, leaked by the Obama White
House, that Israel spied on U.S. negotiations with Iran and then fed the
intelligence to Congressional Republicans...Israel's claim is not only
incredible on its face. It is also squarely contradicted by top secret NSA
documents, which state that Israel targets the U.S. government for invasive
electronic surveillance, and does so more aggressively and threateningly than
almost any other country in the world. Indeed, so concerted and aggressive are
Israeli efforts against the U.S. that some key U.S. Government documents --
including the top secret 2013 intelligence budget -- list Israel among the
U.S.'s most threatening cyber-adversaries and as a "hostile" foreign
intelligence service.
Bowe Bergdahl faces life in prison after being charged with
desertion | 25 March 2015 | The
longest-held US prisoner of war of the post-9/11 era will be charged with
desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and faces a potential penalty of life
in prison. An expected court martial proceeding for Sgt Bowe Bergdahl will
initiate a dramatic fall from grace for a soldier whose release
after five years in Taliban captivity was a top priority for Barack Obama.
Bergdahl's attorney, Eugene Fidell, confirmed to the Guardian that the army
charged Bergdahl on Wednesday afternoon. A preliminary hearing in a military
court is scheduled for 22 April in San Antonio, Fidell said.
US military to charge Bowe
Bergdahl with desertion - official | 25
March 2015 | The Army sergeant who abandoned his post in Afghanistan and was
held captive by the Taliban for five years will be court-martialed on charges of
desertion and avoiding military service, a U.S. official said Wednesday. Sgt.
Bowe Bergdahl will also be charged with misbehavior before the enemy, said the
official, who was not authorized to discuss the announcement on the record and
spoke only on condition of anonymity...The U.S. military planned an announcement
at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, which is expected to include the location of
the court-martial.
Trans-Pacific Partnership Seen as Door for Foreign Corporate Suits
Against U.S. to Be Heard in Secret World Bank Tribunals | 25 March 2015 | An ambitious 12-nation trade accord pushed by
President Obama would allow foreign corporations to sue the United States
government for actions that undermine their investment "expectations" and hurts
their business, according to a classified document. The Trans-Pacific
Partnership -- a cornerstone of Mr. Obama's remaining economic Wall Street agenda --
would grant broad powers to multinational companies operating in North America,
South America and Asia. Under the accord, still under negotiation but nearing
completion, companies and investors would be empowered to challenge regulations,
rules, government actions and court rulings -- federal, state or local -- before
tribunals organized under the World Bank or the United Nations.
