Andreas Lubitz: Co-pilot of Germanwings flight REFUSED to open cockpit door in French Alps crash
The co-pilot of the Germanwings plane that crashed in the Franch Alps was today blamed for the disaster.
French prosecutors said Andreas Lubitz refused to let the pilot into the cockpit of the A320 when he was trying to get in.
The co-pilot was alone at the controls of the crashed jet and conscious until impact, Marseille prosecutor Brian Robin said today.
The co-pilot did not say a word once the captain left the cockpit. ‘It was absolute silence in the cockpit," he said.
He added that he appeared to want to ‘destroy the plane", according to the black box recording.
Mr Robin: ‘The co-pilot is alone at the controls. He voluntarily refused to open the door of the cockpit to the pilot and voluntarily began the descent of the plane."
