Indications were there that something was amiss for Germanwings co-pilot

#germanwings #AndreasLubitz #AirbusA320 #flight9525 As new revelations occur about 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot of Germanwings flight 9525 who crashed his Airbus A320 into a French mountainside to kill 150 passengers and crew members, it seems there were indications that something was amiss with him.
His girlfriend had dumped him a day before the crash, he was being treated for depression and was worried about losing his his job over eye problems. He was, undoubtedly, a troubled man whose world was coming apart. And, he had managed to keep these hidden from his employer, friends and colleagues.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 29 March 2015.

He had been examined by an eye specialist in the University Hospital Dusseldorf. Moreover, he had been seeing a neuropsychologist for depression and the doctor had given him a note excusing him from the work the day of the crash. However, he ignored the advice and reported to work.
Obviously, he had made up his mind and had decided to take his life along with the lives of another 150 who had no links with him.
This is a warning for all airlines because unless the men who man the aircraft are fir in all respects, they should not be given responsibilities of the lives of passengers. Any abnormal behavior must be investigated and, if necessary, such individuals must be segregated and removed from the direct line of control.
