Germanwings Flight

A private doctor recommended that the German pilot who crashed a Germanwings jet into the Alps last year should be treated in a psychiatric hospital two weeks before the disaster, French investigators said March 13.

A desperate final email from Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz has revealed his fear of going blind, before slamming the A320 jet into the French Alps on March 24th last year, killing all 149 people on board.

An email sent by Lubitz to his doctor two weeks before the crash has been published by German newspaper “Bild”.

The latest data recovered by the Germanwings flight’s black box sheds new light to what might have happened.

According to the Daily Mail, the French experts’ data publicized on Wednesday has evidence that Andreas Lubitz tried to recover manual control of the aircraft, shortly before the crash.

The co-pilot who is believed to have deliberately crashed a Germanwings jet in the French Alps may have "rehearsed" steering the plane into a rapid descent on an earlier flight, German daily Bild reported May 6.

Grieving relatives joined political and religious leaders April 17 for a sombre German state memorial service for the victims of last month's Germanwings crash in the French Alps, blamed on a depressed co-pilot.
