Details from the black box of the ill-fated plane belonging to Germanwings have revealed that the co-pilot of the doomed plane intentionally crashed the aircraft.
According to investigators, the co-pilot identified as Andreas Lubitz appeared to want to destroy the plane that crashed in the French Alps recently.
According to the information received from the black box voice recorder, the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit and intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out of the cockpit.
Investigators said there was total silence in the cockpit as the pilot was trying to re-enter it.
Air traffic controllers made repeated attempts to contact the aircraft, but to no avail. Passengers could be heard screaming just before the crash.
The 28-year-old co-pilot has no criminal history and his intention for crashing the plane remains a mystery.
The Airbus 320 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf hit a mountain, killing all 144 passengers and six crew, after an eight-minute descent.
“We hear the pilot ask the co-pilot to take control of the plane and we hear at the same time the sound of a seat moving backwards and the sound of a door closing,” One of the investigators told reporters.
The pilot simply identified as Patrick S was said to have gone to the toilet before the co-pilot locked him out of the cockpit before crashing the plane on the mountain.
This is painful!! May the souls of the victims rest in peace.
