28-year-old Andreas Lubitz co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 that crashed several days ago was being blamed of deliberately crashing the aircraft into the French Alps.
According to the experts who analyzed the black box that was found within the debris of the crashed plane, the Lubitz voice was not heard in the recording of the last moments of the airplane. Investigators claimed that he was the only one left inside the cockpit controls who deliberately locked the cockpit door when the plane crashed. Officials disclosed that Lubitz had medical sick note on the day of the crash but hid his illness to anyone, CNN reported.
Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin explained that the only sound that can be heard from Lubitz in the black box recording was his steady breathing. Authorities have to dig into the co-pilot's past. His records showed that Lubitz passed his psychological exam when he was hired. He has no records of ties with terrorists and did not show any signs of medical distress even during the flight. Robin concluded that Lubitz wanted to destroy the aircraft.
Report says that he wanted to do something historical to remember him by as he boarded the Düsseldorf-bound Airbus A320 that day. Mary W., Lubitz ex-girlfriend, disclosed to the media that he told her last year that "One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it," according to The Guardian. Mary W. admitted that she never understood what that meant but now as this tragedy happened, it all makes sense.
A flight attendant also disclosed that Lubitz took a break from his training before due to burnout syndrome, and had suffered nightmares which scared her.
Experts gave Lufthansa, the parent company, a fair warning that the airline company could face compensation claims from all the victims which will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars as the Düsseldorf prosecutors found the torn-up medical note which covered the day of the incident, March 24, Tuesday.
