Editing Andreas Lubitz (section)

=== The plane crash ===
On March 24, 2015 during the flight from Düsseldorf to Barcelona which took of at 7 A.M., while the captain Patrick Sondenheimer, left the cockpit briefly, leaving Lubitz alone in the cockpit, he switched the plane's automatic pilot to 100 feet, the lowest setting. But, that was just a test run. He quickly switched it back again before any air-traffic controllers had taken notice. On the next flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf at 10 A.M., Lubitz was initially courteous to Sondenheimer, but became "curt" when the captain began the midflight briefing on the planned landing. Sondenheimer told Lubitz that he didn't use the bathroom before the flight, to which Lubitz repeatedly urged him that he should go now. At about 10:30 A.M. Sondenheimer once again stepped out of the cockpit, leaving Lubitz alone, this time he put his plan into action.

Lubitz locked the cockpit door and disabled Sondenheimer's emergency access code. Moments later, he changed the autopilot's cruising altitude from 38,000 feet, to the lowest setting of 100 feet. Just before 10:31 A.M., after crossing the French coast near Toulon, the aircraft left its cruising altitude and began dropping at a rate of 3,500 feet per minute, or 58 feet per second. French air-traffic controllers noticed the unauthorized change made several attempts to contact the aircraft, but Lubitz did not answer them. Sondenheimer felt the rapid descent of the aircraft and suspected something, to which he returned 3 minutes later from the  bathroom. He attempted to re-enter the cockpit, only to find the door locked. Initially he knocked on the door and tried to ask Lubitz to open the door, but got no answer.

Alarmed, Sondenheimer began repeatedly and loudly banging on the door and begging Lubitz to open it, but was still met with silence. At that point, the passengers and flight attendants start noticing that there is a problem, and panic erupted across the cabin. Sondenheimer asked a flight attendant to get him a fire axe hidden in the back of the plane, which he used in his desperate attempts to break the cockpit door open while shouting at Lubitz to open it, unfortunately however, like all cockpit doors in the aftermath of the [[September 11 attacks]], all major airlines have reinforced their cockpit doors to prevent intrusion. Several alarms were going off in the cockpit, but Lubitz was not reacting at all. Two minutes before impact, Lubitz put on an oxygen mask and his slow and steady breathing could be heard on the cockpit voice recorder. He did not speak a word at all.

In the final seconds before the plane crashed, the plane's right wing collided with a mountain, intensifying the screams and cries of the terrified passengers, Lubitz remained silent as he increased the speed of the aircraft. Eventually, the plane crashed into the French Alps, incinerating Lubitz along with all 149 on-board.
