Hundreds of emergency workers are heading to the scene of an air disaster in the foothills of the Alps in southeastern France after an Airbus A320 crashed en route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf.

A total of 144 passengers, including two babies, as well as two pilots and four cabin crew were on board the 24-year-old plane, operated by Lufthansa's budget airline.

There were believed to be 67 people from Germany on the aircraft, including 16 pupils and two teachers from the same school in the town of Haltern.

Looks like the co pilot locked the pilot out of the cabin and decided to crash the plane on purpose .

The U.S. has flight regulations where there can not be just 1 person in the cockpit another crew member has to go in before the Pilot leaves. Europe does not have this rule but it was implemented in many countries following this incident. Apparently there have been a number of these types of crashes in Europe in the past few years. Very sad!
