Berlin, April 3 (RHC)-- The second black box from the doomed Germanwings passenger plane that recently crashed in the French Alps has been recovered following a nine-day search.

Search teams found the second black box from the Airbus A320 aircraft on Thursday, after the first one was recovered on the day of the crash. Technical data, which provide vital insights into the final moments of the flight, are recorded on the second black box. By examining the box, officials hope to discover more clues about the tragic incident that happened on March 24th.

The aircraft disappeared off the radar about halfway on its route from the Spanish city of Barcelona to Düsseldorf in Germany. Eight minutes later the plane crashed into the French Alps. All the 150 people on board died in the incident.

Information obtained from the first black box that recorded conversations between co-pilot Andreas Lubitz and pilot Patrick Sondenheimer indicated that the 27-year-old Lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane into the mountain.

German prosecutors, who had earlier said Lubitz was diagnosed as suicidal “several years ago,” disclosed on Thursday that he had searched online for information about suicide and cockpit doors.
