PARIS, May 6 (UPI) -- Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, accused of deliberately crashing an airliner in the French Alps, apparently practiced rapid descent on a previous flight.
The French Bureau of Investigations and Analyses released a report stating that Lubitz, 27, repeatedly set the Germanwings plane's altitude to 100 feet when the captain left the cockpit temporarily on an outbound flight from Düsseldorf, Germany, to Barcelona, Spain, on March 24.
