1. German Airplane Crashed in the Alps

On Tuesday the 24^th of March the plane 4U 9525 Airbus A320 of Germanwings was flying from Barcelona to Dusseldorf.  The plane then made an awful crash into the French Alps. Germanwings is a company owned by Lufthansa who provides airfare rates at a cheaper price. Bruce Robin, a prosecutor from Marseille said “The body of the plane is in a state of destruction, there is not one intact piece of wing or fuselage”. The plane was carrying 150 passengers and there have been no known survivors.

The weather was reported to be adequate for flying. Before the crash the plane did not send any distress signals. Currently, there is no evidence that the plane crash was associated with any terrorist group. It is said that if it were, a terrorist group would have claimed that they brought the plane down already.

However, using the black box of the plane it is known that before the crash the pilot left to use the bathroom. Upon his return, he was unable to re-enter the cockpit as the co-pilot had locked the door. Investigators continue to look into this situation since many questions remain unanswered.
