Germanwings

A Germanwings flight bound from Hanover, Germany, to Rome was forced to make an emergency landing in Venice when a passenger and crew member became ill. Several reports indicated that the illness suffered by the passenger was a panic attack though Germanwings said that they were both struck by nausea and required medical treatment.

The crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 in France has heaped intense pressure on Lufthansa's CEO Carsten Spohr, who in less than a year at the helm has had to grapple with weak earnings, labor unrest and tough competition from lower-cost carriers.
                   

The second black box from the Germanwings Airbus A320 which crashed in the French Alps last week was found yesterday after a nine-day search and, as it was expected, it confirmed that 27-year-old co-pilot Andreas Lubitz brought down the plane intentionally.

German national airliner Lufthansa announced Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had reported his "major depressive episode" back in 2009.

Lubitz is thought to have steered a Germanwings Airbus A-320 into the slopes of the French Alps last Tuesday causing the death of all 150 on board.
