Everything in the investigation of the Germanwings crash focuses on the behavior of the co-pilot, who stayed locked in the cockpit, according to the chief prosecutor for Marseille.

The official’s statements:

-Discussions in the beginning of the recording are normal and even happy. Nothing out of the ordinary.

-The pilot asks the co-pilot to take control of the flight, and the sound of a seat being drawn back is heard. The door opens.

-The pilot exits the cockpit to use the toilet.

-The co-pilot stays in the cockpit.

-The pilot returns and knocks on the cockpit door, asking the co-pilot to open it. The co-pilot doesn’t reply. His breath can be heard.

-Marseille Control Tower is heard, requesting a reply from the cockpit, with no response.

-Air Traffic controllers request that emergency procedures begin so that this airplane has the right of way vis-a-vis other airplanes. They request other aircraft try and contact the Germanwings flight.

-Alarms which notify a crew that the aircraft is too close to the ground are heard. Knocks on the door become louder and stronger.

-Right before the final crash there is a sound which sounds as if the aircraft bounced against the earth before it crashed into the mountain.

-No SOS signal was broadcast from the cockpit and no response to controllers’ calls can be heard.

-This took place at 12:30 CET and according to current data, the conclusion is that the co-pilot refused to open the cockpit door and commenced actions which led to a loss of altitude.

-The co-pilot deliberately chose to force the plane down.

-In the last moments before the crash, the shouts of passengers can be heard.

-It is yet too early to explore the co-pilot’s behavior, since everything points to the fact that he was breathing normally and said nothing.
