Crashed Plane’s Co-Pilot “Hid” an “Illness” From Lufthansa, German Prosecutors Say
German prosecutors say that pilot Andreas Lubitz, suspected of intentionally crashing Germanwings Flight 4U 9525, may have hid an "illness" from his "employer and colleagues," while multiple German publications report that he had issues with depression.
Per the BBC, the German tabloid Bild says Lubitz had a "severe depressive episode" in 2009. The paper Der Tagesspiegel reports via a source that Lubitz was being treated for depression at a university clinic in Dusseldorf, and both Bild and another outlet say that a note in his "aviation authority file" recommended regular psychological treatment.
Ummm, I don't think that's the illness that was overlooked...
Could Better Psychological Testing Prevent a Tragedy Like the Germanwings Crash?
No. No. NO. NO. NO. They caused this, dammit.
