GermanWings Airbus A320 Crashes in France

       On the 24 March, 2015, GermanWings flight 4U 9525 plummeted into the mountains of France, killing all 150 people on board. After a normal departure from Spain, the aircraft headed North, as it was crossing over France, the plane started suddenly descending from its cruising altitude of about 38,000 feet for no apparent reason. After only eight minutes of descending, the aircraft slammed into the mountains of France, pulverizing the plane into pieces no larger than a car. Mysteries surround this plane crash as the black boxes showed no strange mechanical problems or stress from the pilots.

         The latest mystery that has come from the crash is that the co-pilot was suicidal or murderous. The evidence for this argument was found on the black boxes, in the audio of the black boxes, you can hear the captain trying to enter the cockpit after going into the rear of the plane. The captain knocks several times with no answer from the co-pilot, but the black boxes captured the co-pilot breathing and moving the controls so he was obviously conscious. The history of the Co-pilot is currently being looked into.

FAA Gives Amazon The Go For Drone Testing

      In the last decade, technology for unmanned aerial devices has increased substantially. The technology has gotten to the point of which companies are looking into using unmanned vehicles for their own use. The most recent and famous company: Amazon. Amazon released a commercial in 2014 that showed a multi-rotor delivering a package to a house without ever interacting with a person. They released this commercial showing a hopeful idea that many people don't believe can happen.  

      The drone showed in the video has been named the Amazon Prime Air delivery system. During this week, the FAA or Federal Aviation Administration has given Amazon the all clear to test their aerial system. Many people have low expectations from the system. The technology is still not even close to being possible to deliver packages any further than about a mile. Batteries for even the 

lightest, most efficient multi-rotor a can only last about 15 minutes.
