More details about the Germanwings crash last week and co-pilot Andreas Lubitz have emerged on Friday.
Lubitz, who is accused of locking out the pilot and crashing the plane in the French Alps, deliberately accelerated the plane as it was about to crash, according to investigators who recovered date from the plane’s second black box. The second one was discovered Thursday at the crash site.
“Several times during the course of the descent, the pilot adjusted the automatic pilot so as to increase the speed of the plane as it descended,” the French Bureau of Investigations and Analyses said in a statement, according to French media reports. The BEA said it’s still attempting to “establish the specific factual progress of the flight.”
