Reports are indicating that it might have been deliberate:

A senior military official involved in the investigation described “very smooth, very cool” conversation between the pilots during the early part of the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. Then the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.

“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”

He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”

NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/26/world/europe/germanwings-airbus-crash.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=first-column-region%C2%AEion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1)

I was reading that there's supposed to be alternative ways into the cockpit in case of emergency.

If that's the case then there's a good chance the pilot in the cockpit was making an active attempt to u impinge their efforts and destroy the plane.

If that's the case then there's a good chance the pilot in the cockpit was making an active attempt to u impinge their efforts and destroy the plane.
If that's true, the question is why did he wanted to destroy the plane?

Edit: As I was writing this, I suddenly check this news article stating that the Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said in a press conference the pilot intentionally started a descent while he was locked out.

Confirmed by the investigators. I'll elaborate with a video on how does the door work this afternoon

On Mar 26th 2015 Lufthansa reported the captain had 6000 flight hours of experience, the first officer 630 hours. Germanwings and Lufthansa stated, that in view of media reports they have no such information and do not participate in speculations.

On Mar 26th 2015 the States Attorney of Dusseldorf (Germany) reported, that according to preliminary results by French Authorities only one pilot was in the cockpit at the time of the crash.

On Mar 26th 2015 the States Attorney of Marseille (France) reported, the first officer was alone in the cockpit. The first officer was not talking, only normal breathing could be heard after the captain departed the cockpit. The captain was not able to get back into the cockpit. The first officer initiated a rapid descent, there was no reason to initiate the rapid descent, there was no reason to not communicate with air traffic control, there was no reason why the door wouldn't open. With the current information it can be said, that the breathing of the first officer is not consistent with someone suffering a heart attack or other health issue. Other than that there is absolute silence in the cockpit, screams are heard only in the last few moments. There were no words heard during the last 10 minutes of the flight. The states attorney thinks the first officer intentionally did not open the door.
