Germanwings Co-Pilot, Andreas Lubitz, Deliberately Crashed Plane, Prosecutor Says PARIS - The co-pilot of Germanwings flight 9525 deliberately crashed the aircraft, French officials said Thursday, pointing to voice recorder evidence that he had locked the captain out of the cockpit, ignored his pleas for re-entry and steered down into the French Alps as passengers were heard screaming. The assertions instantly changed the nature of the Tuesday crash, which obliterated the Airbus A320 and killed all 150 aboard, into a wide-ranging criminal investigation that focused on the co-pilot, a 27-year-old German with no obvious reason to commit mass murder, who had been hired less than two years ago. The top executive of Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, said he was speechless at the news from France. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/27/world/europe/germanwings-crash.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=2&gwh=660173AAFE6C50D4F82CDEA98214059A&gwt=pay&assetType=nyt_now

Easyjet have just announced that on all their aircraft, no one will be left alone in the cockpit to prevent this ever happening again. Apparently, the Co-Pilot had during his training taken time out possibly through depression, but was allowed to return to training, and more recently some of his friends have commented they thought he appeared to be depressed. Such a tragedy for all concerned.

"Depression" sounds like a coverup. If so, the Capt. would have noticed?

Long live Big Pharma profits! Users and victims are on their own! Blame guns and the Dr's patients, never the cause.... like side effects of the pills they push!

I think this was an attempt at facetious sarcasm.

I'd like to know if there was any response from the other side as the other pilot was trying to get back in. Are these doors locked automatically upon leaving the cock-pit ? Why wasn't a stewardess, as is supposed to be, to take the place of a vacant pilot ?
