TRAGEDY// An Airbus operated by Lufthansa’s Germanwings budget airline crashed in a remote snowy area of the French Alps and all 150 on board died. Flight 4U 9525 crashed on March 24. It was the first crash of a large passenger jet on French soil since the Concorde disaster just outside Paris in July 2000. The Germanwings copilot Andreas Lubitz is thought to have deliberately crashed his Airbus in the French Alps, and is said to have predicted, “Everyone will know my name”, to his exgirlfriend. Meanwhile, investigators have also found evidence of a serious psychosomatic illness, and said Lubitz had been treated by several neurologists and psychiatrists in the past few years. The black box voice recorder indicates that Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit and crashed the plane into a mountainside in what appears to have been a suicide and mass killing.
