Does anyone have the ATC radio of this? I'm not sure where it would be on liveatc.

I was actually watching the Air Disasters episode on the LAM Mozambique flight 470 crash by suicide, which took a dive as well from about that altitude.
That's the last thing I'd think of, more likely spatial disorientation and/or instrument malfunction... that seems to be a recurring theme. Suicides seem more likely to occur if somebody goes to the lav and leaves the other pilot alone, I'm hoping nobody does that anymore. LAM and germanwings are both recent, both had that MO and occurred in quick succession of each other... how many case studies does it take to change the rule?
