Germanwings Crash. Why No Fires present ??

[polarjet205]

First my respects to the families and crew. Terrible. now that we have seen videos only a few hours old after the crash, I am left wondering where are the fires? Smoke? anything burning?

Did they run out of fuel?, seems with no fires, there was no fuel in the tanks. Just throwing that out there..

And is this web site dead or what, I'm the first to bring this morning crash up here on FI.

RIP

Because speculating is stupid.

It looks like there was a fire, blacked cuts on the hills. But it was spread over a wide area and burned out quickly with nothing else to burn so there was no secondary fire. Heard that the crew was unconscious during the descent, That is from preliminary CVR data.

Not speculating, just discussing what has been video evidence. The Vids were not wide out enough to see the surrounding color differences in the terrain. But it seems your right, the fires quickly burned out what local vegetation was there. It's just amazing and terrifying and how small and fragmented the wreckage is over such a wide area of the valley there. Tremendous kinetic energy. Lets hope the CVR and FDR tell the tale. I hope they were all unconscious during the decent. RIP

The most shocking part is that Richard Quest isn't screeching out his theories of what happened

I don't think fire burns as much at higher altitudes

One pilot locked out.......suicide perhaps?

He is. You just haven't been watching CNN. Here's the latest questeculation (questian speculation): http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/25/europe/germanwings-crash-main/index.html

The continuous glidepath appears to be intentional; I have no explanation for that. And there was definitely a fire at the crash site. You can see large burned out areas.

Yea, now that there are more pictures from the site with a wider view, its obvious that all the grey area was post flight fire damage to the mountain side... the next question is do the euro airlines require an F/A to enter the flight deck when a pilot come out? it seems at this time that only one crew member was left up front.. not knowing the airbus, is there a way for the pilot to unlock the door without getting out of his seat? I've seem other reports that a button exists to do that on the center console?
