Data from the second black box which was recently recovered from the wreckage of the ill-fated Germanwings flight which crashed on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 has confirmed earlier reports that the flight was deliberately crashed by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz.
The French BEA Crash Investigation Office in a statement on Friday, April 3, 2015 availed thus: “A first reading shows that the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to descend the plane towards an altitude of 100 feet (30 metres).
“Then, several times during the descent, the pilot changed the automatic pilot settings to increase the aircraft’s speed.”
