“He (Pilot) knocked on the door and there was no answer from the co-pilot either,” he said.
“One can then hear the noise of human breathing within the cockpit, and that human breathing noise can be heard until the final impact which means that theoretically the co-pilot was alive”, said Robin during Thursday’s press conference.
