Exclusive analysis of the cause of the crash: failure silent pilots last minute found

The plane was down steadily before the crash of 24.
Another unfortunate air crash, we mourn for the victims. The detailed background information of the event has been reported very clearly and is not repeated here.
But this is a strange air crash, the accident before the crash flights are normal million meters above the altitude, at this altitude, if not because of major mechanical or technical failure, or even terrorist attacks, usually do not happen plane crashes.

Look at the trajectory of the plane before it crashes. Originally the German wing of the a320-200 scheduled local time 8:35 from Barcelona, Spain to fly to Dusseldorf, Germany, but it is estimated due to the airport traffic congestion control and other reasons in the taxi for a long time, after 9:00 to take off from the ground.

Then a 25-minute climb, the plane climbed to 38000 feet of normal cruise altitude over the Mediterranean (height of the blue curve), but only 5 minutes flat, after entering the French territory, the aircraft for unknown reasons and destination, into a steady decline. The rate of decline is not high nor low, basically the range of normal control.

But the plane is so maintained a steady descent posture, the track always maintain a straight line, the speed of a slight drop but there are still 700 kilometers per hour (speed of the red curve), the air pipe did not hear any reports, help, the pilot did not do any external communications.
Finally, in 10 minutes, the altitude dropped to 6800 feet, or 2072 meters, into the height of the visible ground.

It was reported that the unit sent out a distress signal at the last minute (and said no), but it was already late, whether for help or not.

Unfortunately, the area is the French-Italian border of the Alps, the local mountain area of 2000 meters above sea level, the plane eventually hit the mountain.

What happened on the plane?
Obviously this is not a time bomb terrorist attack, so in a high altitude instant blow up the plane out of control even the air disintegrated, the signal suddenly disappeared.
It's not much like a 911-style hijacking--the terrorists controlling the airliner and manipulating the crash--controlling the plane and crashing into a densely populated city is obviously more sensational.
And as for the aircraft dual-engine failure at the same time, the probability is very low, and pilots will be timely external alarm for help, flight master can also timely control aircraft gliding to the recent airport landing for help. And the data is a direct negation of this possibility-the plane finally has 700 kilometers per hour, the display is not related to engine failure.
Overall, the incident should be in the plane after the flight, the aircraft's operating system has failed (mechanical or human error), quietly to decline. The 10-minute pilot was unaware that the mountain was in sight until the last moment.

If not 2 pilots have left their seats or fallen asleep, even what things hold down the joystick such a serious fault, that the overall or aircraft flight control computer settings and course height display errors, pilots are not concerned about, and then finally located in the mountains, the discovery was too late, too late to manually control pull up, Led to this bizarre tragedy.
That's the way it is judged by the current flight route information. Other information we keep close track and follow up in time.

It is also necessary to point out that the wrecked 4u9525 flight route is not different from the usual route of the previous flight. And know some civil aviation common sense people know, by the impact of the route division, most of the flights are not able to pull straight direct flight past.
Some reports claim that "the plane veered off course as soon as it took off", which is clearly a straightforward link between Barcelona and Dusseldorf, based on the erroneous conclusions of the so-called "theoretical straight-line route". (Phoenix Information Barge Tiger)
