On March 24th 2015, 150 people boarded Germanwings Flight 9525 at Barcelona’s ElPrat airport. Its destination was Dusseldorf in Germany – but it would never arrive.
The Airbus A320 crashed in the French Alps – with one man at the controls; Co-Pilot Andreas Lubitz.
This TV3 documentary special examines the deadly timeline of Flight 9525, taking a detailed look at the devastating turn of events which left 150 dead, including 16 German teenagers, who had been on week-long exchange trip to Barcelona, and two Spanish babies. It also profiles the man who’s believed to have deliberately crashed the flight and asks how safety systems that are designed to protect, ultimately cost people their lives.
The insightful documentary features detailed graphics of what happened on the flight deck of the doomed aircraft and an exclusive CNN interview with Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr, with contributions from CNN reporters on the ground in France, Spain and Germany.
