The co-pilot of the Germanwings airliner that crashed on Tuesday in the
French Alps killing all 150 people aboard appears to have brought the A320
Airbus down deliberately, the Marseille prosecutor said today.
German Andreas Lubitz, 28, left in sole control of the
Airbus A320 after the captain left the cockpit, refused to re-open the door and
operated a control that sent the plane into its final, fatal descent, the
prosecutor told a news conference.
The French prosecutor said Lubitz was not known as a
terrorist and there were no grounds to consider the crash as a terrorist
incident. Recordings suggested passengers' screams began just before the final
impact.
