Spokesperson for French civil Aviation Anthority confirms to CNN that the crew of the Germanwings airline's airplane did not issue a distress call.A distress signal was sent out by air traffic control after controllers became concerned at the loss of radio contact with the plane and the speed of the plane's descent.What do you make of that,Mary?Well, the fact that is no or there may be no distress call and over in London,they are getting inflicting reports and there's one story coming out of Paris and a different story coming out of Barcelona.But,if there was no Mayday Mayday call,first they said emergency which is not standard phraseology,but that's not hijack code either and then they said it was Mayday, Mayday,Mayday,which made sense that's what you should say.But now with no distress call，that would certainly explain that the mysteries that people were wondering about as to why the piolet did not turn back to other available airports，Why didn't veer from the course which is headed straight into the mountains after this eight-minute drop in altitude.With no distress call,of course，we don't know what the pilot knew what was going on we don't know what the plane was doing and we don't know the emergency.You konw，for example,in the Payne Stewart situation with rapidly compression,there was no emergency call.They didn't know it was happening.It happend to them and it overtook them,so there are a lot of different scenarios with no distress call，and that would also explain tha cause why they continue to descend into the Alps,very high mountains in this region.
