What happens when the person meant to protect passengers becomes the threat? In this episode, Daniel Torres examines the horrifying case of Germanwings Flight 9525, where co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a plane, killing all 150 people aboard.

On Proof Positive, we break down how Lubitz exploited cockpit security systems originally designed to keep hijackers out, turning them into tools for mass murder. You'll discover how he hid his mental health struggles from Lufthansa, why the captain couldn't break down the reinforced cockpit door during those final eight minutes, and how this tragedy completely changed aviation safety protocols worldwide. We also examine the 30-second emergency override system that Lubitz kept resetting and the warning signs that were missed along the way.
