[QUOTE]Data from the second 'black box' flight recorder belonging to the Germanwings plane that crashed in the Alps suggests that the co-pilot deliberately accelerated its descent, French investigators say.

The second flight recorder, recovered on Thursday, showed that "the pilot in the cockpit used the automatic pilot to put the airplane on a descent towards an altitude of 100ft (30m)", the French BEA crash investigation agency said in a statement.
"Then several times the pilot modified the automatic pilot settings to increase the speed of the airplane as it descended," it added.

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said it was found near a ravine and was not discovered immediately because it was the same colour as the rocks.[/QUOTE]

Edit:
Am I late? The only post I can find about the co pilots actions is my own post a week ago about data from the CVR, while this is confirmation about the exact actions of the co-pilot from the FDR.
