Germanwings Crash Sends Airline Safety into a Tailspin
The aviation industry is examining its safety standards in light of the fatal Germanwings crash.
In light of evidence that the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 might have deliberately downed the Airbus A320 that crashed into the French Alps Tuesday, the aviation community is examining its safety standards.
The crash, which killed all 150 passengers and crew, occurred after the pilot left the cockpit and was denied entry by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, according the black box recording salvaged from the wreckage of the passenger jet.
