Thanks again.
-It was a phone call. The agency is talking about you going into the private sector?
-They'll get over it.
-You know they are losing their best element.
-I'm going to have a lot of work.
Varins is building up the pressure.

I would like to invite the entrepreneurs club.

I have to see the guys from Safran.
I'll call you and we'll see you. - That works.
Have you finished your turn? - Yes.
-So ?
-The debris is not widely dispersed.
-So, no explosion. Were you able to have access to the trajectory?
-The aircraft stung quickly.
- What about air traffic control? - They wanted to gain altitude
and ATC lost contact.
- Do you have a technical problem?
-No, I took part in the 800 certification, it's a Rolls.
There has never been a major failure.

I already told you that you have nothing to gain by pissing off Pollock.
- Am I supposed to crash?
- Honey, we don't just judge people
on their skills.
Be more conciliatory.
Go ahead, it's green.

Because there have already been leaks,
assure me that this information will be kept confidential.
Very well.
Mathieu, we have a problem.
We haven't heard from Pollock. Balsan is not doing it,
audio is degraded. You have to help him.

-The debris being in a restricted radius
suggest that the plane was whole
before it hits the ground.
It is corroborated
by analyzes of the fuselage which indicate no trace of explosive.
In addition, the conversation recorder revealed the intrusion
of a passenger in the cockpit.
Whispers
A fight would have followed with the pilots.
-PLEASE ?
-Yes ?
-Good evening. Caroline Delmas for Mediapart.
How does a passenger
could enter? there are 3 cameras above the door.

-Good evening.
On... On the recording,
at 7:48 am Paris time,
we hear the voice of the hostess entering the cockpit
to give the first meal tray.
She comes back 1 minute and 20 seconds later
and request the opening again.
Surely for the second plateau.
The pilots identify her and let her in.
The door is still open
and thanks to the ambient microphone between the pilots,
we hear hurried footsteps in the direction of the cockpit.
These steps differ from those of the hostess.
There, we can say that there is an intrusion into the cockpit.
A few seconds earlier, we isolated the sound of the latch
from the pilot toilet door. These toilets are...
here.
The individual hid inside
before rushing into the cockpit.
The hostess should have checked this room before requesting the opening.
These are our deductions after analyzing the recorder.
I hope I have answered your questions. Thank you.
-Then we hear overspeed and ground approach alarms.
-Please ?
-Yes.
-Antoine Istier for Europe 1.
Is it a terrorist attack?
-In all likelihood.
An ongoing judicial investigation will deliver its conclusions.
The complete transcript of the CVR
will be the subject of a report which will be presented to you.
Thank you.
Thanks, Mathieu.

-You identified the terrorists?
-We can't say more.
-Mr. Vasseur, Caroline Delmas for Mediapart. A question.
-No comment.
-Excuse me...
Everything is based on negligence on the part of the hostess. It's light, isn't it?
-No, that's what the CVR reveals.
I analyze the facts, that's all. Sorry.

Wait. One last thing.

-Make me listen again.
I don't hear "descent".
European Airlines, you have checked

You want to do well, but by dint of filtering and equalizing,

I did 20 years of CVR analysis,
believe me, the best filter is the ear.

I await your report on Monday.

Excuse me, but I should have taken
Pollock's opinion. I can't wrap up the report like this, no.

His disappearance has been reported. Investigation
police station was opened. They do not rule out any leads.
I'm not hiding from you that we're worried.

Do you have the maintenance reports? - I brought them.
Take.
-The 800 could have a problem of commands?
-I do not think so.
-The MHD is an anti-stall system?
-Yes, it lowers the nose if the aircraft rears up too much.
-A concern of the MHD would do what?
Can pilots override? - No, there's no reason. It is reliable.

Mr. Roussin?
Hello, Mathieu Vasseur.
We saw each other in simulation, the runway excursion of the EM315.
- I have a flight.
-I'm investigating Dubai-Paris, I have a few questions.
-No, I don't have time.
- I understand that you do not want to answer me, I need you.
You reported steering problems on the 800.
Could it be related to a failure of the MHD?
-Why ask me that to me?
Go see Atrian. The BEA gets along well with them.
If you want to excuse me,
I will be expected in 5 min.
-You were more talkative in defending your colleague. there were 300 deaths.
-It's a stupid system, like Atrian.
The pilot is subjected to the machine. I have already explained that to you.
-I am ready to listen to you.
Give me 5 min.
-The aircraft was marketed too early. Atrian wanted to catch up with his rivals.
-They have closed their eyes to this assistance problem?
-Qatar and India had signed.
With penalties of a billion dollars, we advance our pawns.
-The certification commission checked them.
-Are you so naive?
It is the flagship of European aeronautics. Imagine his influence.

-What's this here ?
-A study group to regulate drone traffic.
- Did you know about the 800 steering concerns?
Pilots revealed anomalies 6 months ago.
Have you seen any on the certificate?
-It concerns your investigation?
-I would like you to answer me.
-It's ridiculous, Mathieu.
Do you think the device has a problem?
There were latency issues, but they have been fixed.
-Why do pilots claim to have lost control?
-These are fantasies.
This system helps them, it does not replace them.
Which pilots are you talking about?
Those against automation and video in the cockpit?
To keep their habits,
they will say anything.
Do you think the agency would approve a failed plane?
We were picky and Atrian followed our directions.
Started.
-Yes, you work hand in hand.
-You mean what?
-These tests, was there a report?
-OKAY. Forget. I should never have told you about it, it's confidential.
-You did have a report.
-It's confidential. You are annoying me. Started.
Start, I'm telling you!
- Are you coming back to that?

the facts are true.
These are your conclusions.
-I... I know.
-The MHD went to a warehouse in La Défense.
-Why the Defense?
-The case is sensitive.
They get the avionics system back, it's under seal.
-On your order, we could recover the MHD.
-I won't do it without something tangible.
Resume your current files.
Where is the Dauphin crash?
I await your conclusions.
*Tone
* -It is Alain Roussin. Leave a message.
-Yes,
it's Mathieu Vasseur again.
You told me we could meet. I need to talk to you.
I'll let you remember.

* We pick up.
-Hello ? * -Stop calling me!
* I don't want to see you.
-I do not understand.
* -Don't call me anymore, is that clear?
-We had agreed... Hello? *He hangs up.
-I heard things about you.
They say you harassed a pilot and doubts the reliability of the 800?
-Who we" ?
Is it Noémie?
-The commercial director of European. Do you think we're talking about you?
Do you want to get fired?
Think of Noémie. She will occupy a sensitive position.
She needs you
and you are looking for conspiracy theories.
I say that as a friend.
I don't want you to grill yourself.
Where did you get that from?
-In 3 years, you never told me that you knew Pollock.
-He intervenes in my working group.
- What are you working on?
-A beacon system that would locate a device permanently.
Why are you showing me this?
-I dunno.
Pollock disappeared two days after the crash, I find that weird.
- Does that make me a suspect?
- I did not say that. - Suspect of what? It's absurd.
Why are you doing this to me ?
Because I get along well with Noémie?
You really need to relax. You put your head up.
We know what happened. Admit it. Tinnitus
How are you ?

-I go.

* 10 days after the Atrian 800 attack,

* The families were accompanied to the scene of the disaster
* and were able to speak to representatives of the authorities
* as well as with the judge in charge of the investigation.
* Journalists present were kept away.
* No new information was communicated to them.
* According to the judicial authorities,

I recommend the "3D" procedures.
-We hope that by using this satellite guidance system,

-We wanted to evoke
an accident which puts the agency in a delicate situation.
I received a very rude call from the manager of Atrian.
He accuses the agency of having disclosed confidential information.
Do you see what I'm talking about ?
-No.
- A lifting of seals has been requested on the Dubai-Paris.
It comes from the BEA and is based on the report of the first test.
It was signed electronically.
It comes from your computer.
Do you realize the gravity of the facts?
It should never have been disclosed.
-You did not respect
the confidentiality clause. It is a serious fault.
You are laid off.
-I am not responsable.
-You will be able
explain it to you.
A disciplinary committee will meet.
-Give me back
your computer.
-You can't...

How could you do this to me?

It shouldn't leak. - Do you realize?
I'll be fired.
- I didn't know it was going to come out.
I needed the document.
-Why ? There was an attack.
You heard it. - I didn't hear that.
I heard inconsistencies! It's bullshit !
We put Salafist videos on some guy's computer.
This is what is happening!
Whore ! - You're crazy !
-Me, am I crazy?
Your dinner at Varins... Why are you lying?
- What ? - Why didn't you tell me?
-Exactly, to avoid your paranoid crisis!
I was afraid that you would do
a scandal in front of Varins, for me, for my job!
- Do you hear what you say? You should have asked yourself the real questions!
I asked myself!
Atrian accelerated the 800 certification when he was not ready!
I don't know if you closed your eyes
or participated. - You're sick.
-There were 300 dead! We owe the truth to families.
-Stop telling me about families. You did it for yourself.
To prove your delusions!

Do you want something to drink?
-No thanks.
-Sit down.
Are you okay? You wanted to see me ?
- Yes, I need your expertise. - What about ?
-Your company secures the networks of Atrian devices?
-Yes.
-How is the 800 better protected against cyber attacks?
- Why ? - You are better placed to know
that it's hard to make the piloting and communication systems watertight.
Can we imagine that we enter and reach the navigation system?
-It's unlikely.
-With the exchange of data, the wifi on board, it creates loopholes.
What hackers could exploit?
-Yes, it's our job to fix it.
-On the entertainment network, a clever one cannot interfere
with the piloting system?
- Impossible, there is a separation between the 2 systems.
On one side, the passenger cabin,
on the other, the cockpit. Separate networks.
-At the ENAC evening,
you were not praising a single network fiber?
-Networks can be separated by passing through the same cable.
Do you know your computer or not?
What are you getting at ? Dubai-Paris has been hacked?
-Yes.
As the network manager, you have been warned.
- Yesterday, an assistance problem,
today, a hacking. Tomorrow what?
Every day, will you change your theory?
You analyze recordings, you don't develop theories.
-I analyzed the CVR, Pollock tampered with it.
He was alone from midnight to 2 a.m.
You asked him to.
- I don't know what to tell you anymore.
You are pathetic.
If you don't mind, I have a job.
-Xavier Renaud
would have ignored a flaw of the 800?
-Modifying a line of code costs 1 million
and it takes a year to enforce it... Yes.
We could not delay its marketing.
-May be,
but we have no proof.
The only case of attempted
hacking was last year.
A guy had been arrested in Warsaw. He claimed to have changed
engine speed via the entertainment system.
- Do you have his name? - Wait.
Apparently...
David Keller.
Surely his real name. These guys love to sign their exploits.

The MHD was not faulty,

There was Keller and the pilots.
-You have no proof.
-Yes, this photo of Keller on the plane.
-You see Keller.
His name is not on the passenger list.
-I know. It has necessarily been erased.
Wait. Are you on my side?
You called me.
Are you going to write this article?
-At the time,
an anonymous source had contacted a colleague.
His informant asserted
that an engine failure had caused the accident.
Only when the wreckage was found,
the engine was intact.
According to the investigation, the pilot struggled with a trim control.
Yesterday, I saw my colleague. He is formal.
The documents could only come from the BEA.
Was that you?
I am wrong ?
-I heard a break in the driveshaft.
- You thought you heard. It wasn't.
-The plane had a problem. I couldn't wait
and let other devices fly
of the same type. - You are wrong.
You should have told me about it.
How can you trust yourself?
- Don't let go. I know I am right. - Sorry, Mathieu.
You are unreliable.
I am more with you.
-Wait.
Wait !
Noemie! Noémie, please.
5 min and I'll leave you alone.
Charge me. Tell them it was me, the thief.
That it's my fault.
I'll go talk to them, they'll reinstate you.
You have to help me. I wouldn't come to see you otherwise.
I'm going to be fired from the BEA, no one believes me.
I know the truth about the crash. I have more than that.
If you find your place, we will believe you.
Hold on.
I was wrong, it was on the CVR. Interference,
the pilots who take off their helmets, it was a hacking.
You listen to me ? Believe me. - Let go of me !
- You hear me ? - Let go of me, I don't want to see you anymore!
-Mathieu, it's a very difficult decision to make.
You know how much I appreciate your work.
You also know that the collective approach is crucial for us.
You did not take it into account
and preferred to follow your instincts, it's not the first time, but here...
You have gone too far.
So I will have to ask for your transfer.
-Excuse me, I will need the information on the Dauphin crash.
I don't have access.
Sorry, I have to get all of your files.
- Have you worked on it? - I don't have access.
Only Pollock and you have the hand.
I'm in a hurry. - I have to get everything together, I'm sending this to you.
-OKAY. Thank you.

* When our relationship was settled, he asked me for more.
* It was necessary to correct conclusions,
* orient investigation reports towards human factors.
*I was stuck.
* And there was the 800 crash.
* This time he asked me to tamper with the black boxes.
* I refused, but he threatened to drop me, so...
* I am not asking to be forgiven.
* I probably deserve what is happening to me and what awaits me,

The idea that our generation
is taking on slowly, with difficulty,
it is that of the pilot's disappearance.
The challenge will be to protect and secure devices
where AI will take an increasingly important place.
I can already hear some people judge our disproportionate ambitions,
seeing us as the
Icares of aeronautics.
Icarus, flying too close to the sun, his wax wings melted
and he died thrown into the sea.
I never knew if the moral of this story
should be "do not fly too high", as is commonly thought,
or rather "forget the wax and the feathers and bump the design of the wings".
