Flight 4U 9525 dropped out of the sky and ploughed into a mountainside in the French Alps at more than 400mph, killing all 150 people board yesterday.
Reports circulating on professional pilot forums suggested the black box on the Airbus A320 had been analysed and revealed that a 'structural failure' was responsible for the disaster as
the Germanwings plane may have crashed because the windscreen cracked, causing a sudden drop in oxygen levels, incapacitating the pilots and leaving them unable to send out a distress call,and rendering them unconscious. It was claimed today.
According to daily mail,That may explain what happened in what top French official Segolene Royal has described as the crucial minute between 10.30am - when the pilots were apparently chatting away - and 10.31am when contact was lost.
Flight radar data revealed the plane started its nosedive at 10.31am from an altitude of 38,000 feet.
However, experts are also discussing other theories including faulty speed sensors and technical problems related to the age of the aircraft.
France's transport minister says work had begun on retrieving vital data from the cockpit voice recorder, although first pictures showed it had been badly damaged and it was not clear how much, if any, information could be analysed. May their souls rest in peace.
