In recent news the co-pilot of a Germanwings flight started, what was is suspected to be a ten minute decent, into the side of the French alps.  Co-pilot Andreus Lubitz was left alone in the cockpit of the plane while the other pilot went to the restroom. Upon the pilots return the co-pilot would not let him in, nor uttered a word in response to the pilots screams and attempts to break down the door.  Since 9/11 most planes are equipped with bullet proof doors without a key.  The rule is when a pilot leaves the cockpit and flight attendant must take his place.  This was not the case on this flight.  Also, the pilot may have overrode the planes onboard computer because if he had not the plane out not have decent into the mountain.

This connects to Ap gov regarding foreign affairs and how they affects the U.S. indirectly.  Tho this os not a direct threat this affects the United States mass media.
