Rescue teams resumed their recovery operation in the mountains on Thursday
The co-pilot of the Germanwings plane that crashed into the French Alps on Tuesday appeared to want to "destroy the plane", French officials said. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin, citing information from the "black box" voice recorder, said the co-pilot was alone in the cockpit. He intentionally started a descent while the pilot was locked out. Mr Robin said there was "absolute silence in the cockpit" as the pilot fought to re-enter it. The co-pilot, now named as Andreas Lubitz, 28, was alive until the final impact, the prosecutors added. The Airbus 320 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf hit a mountain, killing all 144 passengers and six crew, after a rapid 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," Mr Robin told reporters. "At that moment, the co-pilot is controlling the plane by himself. While he is alone, the co-pilot presses the buttons of the flight monitoring system to put into action the descent of the aeroplane. "This action on the altitude controls can only be deliberate." He added: "The most plausible interpretation is that the co-pilot through a voluntary act had refused to open the cabin door to let the captain in. He pushed the button to trigger the aircraft to lose altitude. He operated this button for a reason we don't know yet, but it appears that the reason was to destroy this plane." Mr Robin added that air traffic controllers made repeated attempts to contact the aircraft, but to no avail. The co-pilot was not known to have any links with terrorism, he said

Mimi mkristo lakini ukweli tuuseme. Pilot huyu angekuwa Muislam ingekuwa balaa toka kwa wazungu hawa!!. Tumshukuru Mungu kwa ajili ya nchi yetu hatumhukumu mtu kwa dini wala kabila - isipokuwa watani wangu wachaga!!!!!
Hivi kwanini waseme Hana uhusiano na magaidi wasiseme kagombana na mkewe, malipo madogo, aliumwa ghafla. Lastly haya mambo ya kutia loki chumba cha rubani tokea 911 nahisi yafikiriwe zaidi. No one is guarantee of his/her own heart beat!!.
Huyu pilot inasemekana alichukua unknown leave of absence one time, na amepass psychological test, pia nafikiri ni mkristu, tena Mjerumani asilia. Sasa ngoja tusubiri watakuja na sababu ipi. Ila angekua wa dini au ethnic origin nyingine, yaani ingekua noma!
