Germanwings 9525, Flight Data Discrepancies

Retired Air Force Captain Field McConnell challenges the official narrative of the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash, suggesting the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, may have been wrongly blamed. McConnell points to data showing the aircraft accelerated to 400 knots during its descent, a speed he claims would be impossible for a low-hour pilot to hand-fly or for the standard autopilot to maintain below 10,000 feet.
