This means that the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 was deliberate, although no explanation has yet been found. The pilot was locked out of the cockpit and his banging on the door to try and break in was heard over the black box.
The plane crashed into the French Alps at about 6,000 feet. The co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, a German, made this change about 9 seconds before the dive started.
