LOCKED OUT OF THE COCKPIT From a former Navy fighter pilot and a retired UAL Captain We are all flying on the Germanwings plane, with a twisted pilot at the   controls.  Will we just wait, and assume the "Crash Position"? The 'real' pilot was locked out of the cockpit. That set of circumstances finally revealed the full horror of the crash   of Germanwings flight 9525.  Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz waited for the   pilot to leave the cockpit, then locked the door to prevent his   re-entry. Then Lubitz, for reasons unknown and perhaps unknowable,   deliberately steered the jet into a harrowing 8-minute plunge ending in   an explosive 434 mph impact with a rocky mountainside.  150 men, women   and children met an immediate, unthinkably violent death. Lubitz, in his single-minded madness, couldn't be stopped because   anyone who could change the jet's disastrous course was locked out. It's hard to imagine the growing feelings of fear and helplessness that   the passengers felt as the unforgiving landscape rushed up to meet   them. Hard ... but not impossible. Because America is in trouble.  We feel the descent in the pits of our   stomachs. We hear the shake and rattle of structures stressed beyond their   limits. We don't know where we're going anymore, but do know it isn't   good. And above all, we feel helpless because Barack Obama has locked   us out. He locked the American people out of his decision to seize the national   healthcare system.  Locked us out when we wanted to know why the IRS   was attacking conservatives.  He locked us out of having a say in his   decision to tear up our immigration laws, and to give over a trillion   dollars in benefits to those who broke those laws. Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop   withdrawals.  Locked out the intelligence agencies who issued warnings   about the growing threat of ISIS.  He locked out anyone who could   have interfered with his release of five Taliban terror chiefs in return   for one U.S. military deserter. And, of course, Barack Obama has now locked out Congress, the American   people, and our allies as he strikes a secret deal with Iran to   determine the timeline (not prevention) of their acquisition of nuclear   weapons. Was Andreas Lubitz depressed, insane, or abysmally evil when he decided   to lock that cockpit door and listen to no voices other than those in   his head?  Did he somehow believe himself to be doing the right thing? The voice recordings from the doomed aircraft reveal that as the jet   began its rapid descent, the passengers were quiet.  There was probably   some nervous laughter, confusion, a bit of comforting chatter with   seat mates, followed by a brief period in which anxiety had not yet   metastasized into terror. It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally   understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began   to scream. Like those passengers, a growing number of Americans feel a helpless   dread as they come to the inescapable conclusion that our nation's   decline is an act of choice rather than of chance. The choice of one   man who is in full control of our 8-year plunge. Lubitz was a nut case.  But now we are on a 'plane' piloted by a   narcissistic megalomaniac who has locked everyone out of his cockpit. It is very sad that our first African American President will be judged   in history as the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive,   destructive, and divisive President ever. A man twice elected because   of the color of his skin rather that the content of his character.
