Wow! -14,144 vertrate at mtime 7189420, but no altitude change on subsequent two readings - turns north and falls out of the sky
That's got to be a spurious reading surely? Given that the altitude was reported as 38k before and after that? - although shortly after that it did start to lose altitude.
Speed looks 'normal'. No reports of any turbulence or bad weather - certainly down in Nice it was nice weather, but I know from experience that you can get weird storms in the mountains.
One of the oldest A320s in the LH (and Germanwings fleet), was this also one of the aircraft that was intended to be transferred to EuroWings, later this year?
This aircraft was subsequently transferred to Germanwings and crashed on March 24,2015, en route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, with the loss of all on board.. D-AIPX. Airbus A320-211. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!

Comes right at the start of the turn, just before a gradual initiation of the descent. More than just a spurious reading - I think something went bang around that point.
