MARSEILLE: The co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing an airliner in the French Alps searched online for information about suicide and cockpit doors, prosecutors said Thursday as it emerged the second black box had been found.

Authorities are hoping to unearth more clues about the disaster from the black box, which French prosecutors said was found after a nine-day search of the wreckage of the Germanwings plane.
