The Helios Crash was a Boeing 737 that crashed into a mountain near Athens in 2005 after the pilots had hypoxia. ( similar to the death of Payne Stewart the American golfer) please compare the wreckage from this 737 that crashed into a Greek mountain with the A320 ( a very similar plane) that crashed ( or so we are told) in the foothills of the French Alps.
The difference is in intent. Of course the crash sites will look different one of the jets didn’t have a pilot speeding up the plane to intentionally crash it. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
The claim about speeding up the plane during descend seems to be untrue. The sequential minute data of Flightradar24 website, available a week after accident, showed the positions and speeds. From the time 9:30 (38000 feet) to 9:36 (20300 feet) is the speed constant 476 kts. Then the speed is reduced in contrary. I have taken flightradar screenshots at 9:39 (10475 feet, 414 kts), 9:40 (8250 feet, 384 kts) and final last position at 9:41 or 9:40:47 (6800 feet, 378 kts). The speed probably varied up and down a little, but generally in last minutes diminished. The information of prosecutors is thus misleading.
The plane crashed about 35 seconds after losing radar control. I calculated this from the distance of real crash site found with GoogleEarth (comparing satellite photos with photos of crash site after accident) and from the last speed. This site is much nearer as shown in many photos, published in different media. This time is in accordance with evidences of some witnesses about half minute time between two loud sounds (what was the first?) and not with official estimations that plane crashed “a few minutes” after losing radar control.
To whom serve such disinformation, you can judge alone…
