Germanwings Flight 4U9525 crashed into the French Alps last week, killing all 150 people on board. In the days since the crash, French prosecutors have revealed a frightening theory for what happened in the plane's final minutes in the air: the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, may have deliberately crashed the plane while the pilot was locked out of the cockpit. It is reported that he was deeply depressed and was being treated for vision problems that could have ended his flying career. Some sources suggested he was suffering from a detached retina. Rescuers are still, however, to locate the plane’s second black box — its flight data recorder — six days after the Barcelona to Düsseldorf flight crashed into a rocky ravine at 435 miles (700km) per hour.
Between 400 and 600 body parts have been located and are currently being examined.
“We haven’t found a single body intact,” said Patrick Touron, the deputy director of the police’s criminal research institute. Identification experts were using dental records, DNA samples from family members, fingerprints, jewellery and bits of ID card to help the process.
The black box, which is actually orange and weighs around 10kg, was originally in a protective casing, but only the empty casing has been found.
What happened, and what’s next in the Yemen conflict

The country of Yemen has been engulfed by war, threatening the balance of power in the region and imperiling a key ally in the United States’ fight against terrorism.
In the last few days, Iranian-backed militias have expanded their control, the Yemeni president fled the country, the United States evacuated its special operations forces, and Saudi Arabia launched a series of airstrikes against the rebels.
Who are the key players?
• Houthi rebels. The Houthi are an insurgent group who follow an offshoot of Shia Islam. Last September, Houthi militias of Sanaa. At first, they called for a new, more pluralist government. But within months they had dissolved parliament and forced the resignation of the president. Over time, they have been amassing territory and consolidating their control of the northwestern part of the country.
What’s happening now?
Houthi militias have been getting closer to Aden, the capital-in-exile where President Hadi had been residing. On the way, they captured an air base that had been used by American forces, triggered an evacuation of US personnel, and drove President Hadi out of the country.
To stop the Houthi advance, Saudi Arabia and its partners organized a series of coordinated airstrikes with targets that include a major airport and the one-time presidential complex.
Not surprisingly, those airstrikes have provoked a heated response from Iran.
How will this affect the US?
There are a number of ways this struggle could spill out of the Middle East and affect US policy and even daily life.
For one, political instability is often a boon to terrorist groups, and another failed state in the region only complicates US security policy (particularly since the United States has had to evacuate personnel and give up those vital eyes on the ground).
Depending on how Iran responds to the Saudi airstrikes, their response could interfere with the current negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.
And finally, oil. Low gas prices have been cheering drivers and buoying the US economy for months now. However, news of last night’s airstrikes were followed by an upswing in oil prices. Any further escalation could ripple all the way from the battlefields of Yemen to the pockets of US consumers.
Saudi-led coalition preventing urgent medical supplies reaching Yemen
Members of the Saudi-led coalition conducting air strikes in Yemen are preventing a Red Cross plane from delivering urgent medical supplies in Sanaa, an ICRC spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the independent aid agency "called for the urgent removal of obstacles to the delivery to Yemen of vital medical supplies needed to treat casualties from a week of deadly clashes and air strikes".
"We still don't have the permission from coalition members," ICRC spokeswoman Sitara Jabeen told Reuters in Geneva, declining to specify which coalition authorities were responsible for blocking the plane, which was still in Djibouti. – Reuters, March 31, 2015.
