The report indicates that 33 seconds before impact, there was an input on the right-side stick that was insufficient to disengage the autopilot. This detail raises questions about whether the co-pilot had a moment of remorse or if the autopilot system was designed to be uninterruptible during the descent.

Skeptics point to the late discovery of the flight data recorder and the focus on Lubitz's iPad as potential signs of a cover-up regarding uninterruptible autopilot systems.

McConnell points to data showing the aircraft accelerated to 400 knots during its descent, a speed he claims would be impossible for a low-hour pilot to hand-fly or for the standard autopilot to maintain below 10,000 feet.

Aviation experts, including veteran pilots, questioned the feasibility of hearing a pilot's breathing in the noisy environment of an older Airbus A320. Additionally, discrepancies were noted regarding the lack of a recorded 30-second cockpit door alarm and the specific "beep" sound allegedly heard when the autopilot altitude was adjusted.

The reporting suggests the pilot outside was attempting to smash the door down while the pilot inside remained silent. The hosts question the validity of these early leaks from unnamed investigators and military officials.
