Germanwings co-pilot flew plane deliberately into ground when pilot went to toilet

The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings plane deliberately slammed the jet into the ground after locking himself in the cockpit.

The horrifying full account of the planes' final 10 minutes were confirmed by Marseilles prosecutor Bryce Robin at a press conference today.

He told reporters: "We have managed to get the transcript of the last 30 minutes

"In the first 20 minutes the pilots talk in a normal fashion being courteous with each other like two normal pilots during a flight.

"Then we hear the command asking the co-pilot to take over and we hear the sound of a chair being pushed back and a door closing. So we assume that he went to the loo or something.

"So the copilot at that moment is on his own in charge of the plane and it's while hes alone... that he uses the flight monitoring system which starts the descent of the aeroplane.

"This action on this attitude selection can only be done voluntarily."
