    The latest information about the Germanwings flight 9525 that crashed on March 24 in the French Alps, killing 150, is chilling: one pilot was locked out of the cockpit, and tried unsuccessfully to get back in before the crash, The New York Times reported, while the co-pilot appeared to have brought down the plane deliberately, according to the prosecutor in France who is leading the criminal investigation.

    The situation raises questions about how pilots and other crew can access the cockpit of a plane, in this case an Airbus 320, once they leave it.
