Probably won't be released but guess it shows a little more of what happened, said it appears to be from one at the back of the plane and amounts to some 14 seconds.

That should be the property of the owner's survivors. Let them sell it to the highest bidder.

Who spends the last 14 seconds of their life willingly videoing?

Someone with the habit of videoing everything and posting it online.

Or maybe they did it with the hope of it helping investigators figure out what happened. Might have had good intentions with it.

Fox News is considering airing it.
I hope they don't.

Nothing the FAA has done lately has gotten the airlines or manufacturers to install safety devices in airplanes or up-date regulations for pilots and air traffic controllers. Seems like everything goes in one ear and out the other for the sake of a few more dollars in profits.
Maybe the release of video and sound to make the public more aware of what happens when things don't go just right might help!
How many planes have gone down or gone missing in just the last 10 or 12 months????

The FAA is an international entity?

What sort of "safety devices" would you suggest that would change the outcome of these crashes?

Nobody said anything about the FAA being international, but the standards here are pretty much universal, and yes the FAA does look at all accidents and makes recommendations!

The very fact that the pilot couldn't re-access the cockpit at all is a direct result of the changes in aircraft design after the 9-11 hijackings. There is talk now about already having the technology to being able to take control of an airplane remotely, and set a plane down safely without any use of onboard help or interference. Wild times we live in for sure.

What ever might come out of these latest investigations, this time it might have been prevented with going back to a 3 man flight crew or something as simple as having a flight stewardess stay in the cock pit until the pilot returned, anything that put more than a lone pilot in the cockpit.

A crazy psycho killer can get a gun in America, but in Germany he can get and keep a commercial jet pilot license.

Way I understood the news last night, this co-pilot went from no experience at all to having a commercial carrier license with 600 hours and 100 hours in the A320 within 3 years, and by the age of 26.
I know our military pilots do the same, but at least they go through some very extensive training and are watched over and tested to no end.
Just can't see it for someone not in the military.
