Andreas Lubitz: Tragedy Germanwings Airbus A320
Was 28-year-old German Andreas Günter Lubitz co-pilot was suffering from depression problems and on medication? According to reports Reuters, Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had a doctor’s note excusing him from work for the day of the crash…. “Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors,” said the prosecutors’ office in Dusseldorf, where the pilot lived and where the flight from Barcelona was heading,
“The co-pilot is alone at the controls,” said Brice Robin, a prosecutor in Marseilles on Wednesday, drawing on information gathered from the black box recorder. “He voluntarily refused to open the door of the cockpit to the pilot and voluntarily began the descent of the plane.”
Mr Robin said Lubitz had a “deliberate desire to destroy this plane. He … refused to open the door of the cockpit to the pilot and deliberately began the descent of the plane”
