The Germanwings co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing an A320 Airbus into the French Alps rehearsed the fatal maneuver on the morning of the March 24th disaster. BEA, the French accident investigation agency, has released a preliminary report into the accident. Information taken from the flight data recorder on the outbound flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf shows co-pilot Andreas Lubitz set the autopilot to take the Airbus down to as low as 100 feet while the captain was out of the cockpit.
Newly released video shows Andreas Lubitz, the Germanwings co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing a plane in the French Alps, flying a glider. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
