Second black box confirms co-pilot crashed plane (Several times during the descent, the pilot changed the automatic pilot...)

Data from the second black box found in the wreckage of the Germanwings flight that crashed last week in the French Alps confirm the co-pilot acted deliberately, investigators said.

"A first reading shows that the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to descend the plane towards an altitude of 100 feet (30 metres)," said the French BEA crash investigation office in a statement.

No survivors found at site of French plane crash

A plane operated by Lufthansa's Germanwings budget airline crashed in a remote area of the French Alps today, killing all 150 people on board including 16 schoolchildren.
