According to the German prosecutor in charge of the investigation into the crash of flight 9525, co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was indeed treated for suicidal tendencies in the past:
FOX NEWS – The co-pilot believed to have intentionally crashed a plan into the French Alps last week, killing all 150 aboard, had been treated for “suicidal tendencies,” German prosecutors said Monday.
Andreas Lubitz, the 27-year-old co-pilot who investigators say locked the Germanwings Flight 9525 pilot out of the cockpit and crashed the Airbus 320 last Tuesday, received psychotherapy “with a note about suicidal tendencies” for several years before becoming a pilot, according to Ralf Herrenbrueck, spokesman for prosecutors in Dusseldorf. Still, Herrenbrueck said no motive has emerged to explain the act, and said Lubitz showed no sign of a physical illness.
Herrenbrueck said that since Lubitz received his license, documentation had shown no such treatment.
“In the following period, and until recently, further doctor’s visits took place, resulting in sick notes without any suicidal tendencies or aggression against others being recorded,” Herrenbrueck said. “There is no evidence to show that the co-pilot was about to do what he appears to have done.”
On Fox and Friends this morning they shared newly released details of what happened in the last 12 minutes of flight 9525:
So this seems to be thus far some type of mental issue and there is nothing to suggest that Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim jihadi, as some bloggers posted prematurely.
