Four days after a 27-year-old co-pilot locked his pilot out of the cockpit and smashed a Germanwings passenger plane into an Alpine mountain, killing 150, Germany’s aviation authority says it will now require two people to remain in a plane's cockpit at all times.


"In coordination with Germany’s aviation authority, the other German airlines and the German aviation industry association, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group are to adopt a new cockpit occupancy procedure as a precautionary measure," Lufthansa, the company that owns Germanwings, announced Friday morning.
