Andreas Lubitz was the co-pilot's name and its a white dude, not middle eastern or anything like that. Everyone is saying it was deliberate and that he was a regular jogger so its not like he got a heart attack. Question is why did he do it?
The reports I read this morning said he suffered with depression and it was even noted during his training and yet he was considered 100% fit to fly. They were of course wrong but now pilots with even a hint of a history ill need to be scrutinized thoroughly before they are allowed to be on a plane.
The second flight recorder has been found from the Germanwings plane which crashed in the French Alps last week, said a French prosecutor according to the BBC and AFP. Ref. CNN
