Germanwings Airbus A320 Plane Crash: Heartbreaking act of kindness costs schoolgirl her life

A schoolgirl almost missed getting onto the Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 - but WAS on board thanks to a heartbreaking act of kindness.

The unnamed German teenager, who was one of 16 youngsters on an exchange trip, had accidentally left her passport in the bedroom of her host family.

She only realised her mistake when she arrived at a train station to travel to the airport.
