After the senior pilot left, Lubitz had manually put the plane into a descent mode, and his simple intention was to damage the plane and kill the passengers. The plane was said to have hit the mountain at 700kmh.
The senior pilot could be heard asking the co-pilot to resume flying the plane as he stepped out of the cockpit, as the chair was heard moved back, so it was assumed the co-pilot went to the toilet or something. When he came back from where he went, he was heard knocking the door to be allowed back inside into the cockpit, but the co-pilot did not respond. He later used the intercom system to ask to be allowed inside the cockpit, but was not allowed inside the cockpit.

Andreas Lubitz was silent throughout in the cockpit without saying a word, it was total silence. Immediately that happened, Air traffic at Marseille asked for distress response, but no response, other flight in the area was asked to contact the Airbus, also no response was heard, so the plane becomes a priority for landing.
The door could be heard being knocked and kicked heavily, but it is reinforced according to international standards. Lubitz records, both personal and professional is currently on check by the Germany investigation department.
A lot of people have signed their condolences for the plane crash victims. 16 children were on board the flight.
