Germanwings co-pilot planned to 'make everyone remember' him, ex-girlfriend says

Andreas Lubitz, the Germanwings co-pilot who crashed an Airbus A320 into the French Alps, killing all 150 passengers aboard, had been planning to do something to “make everyone remember him,” his ex-girlfriend has claimed in an interview.

Speaking with Bild, Maria W., a 26-year-old cabin crew employee whose full name has not been released to the press, described Lubitz as “tormented” and secretive.

Maria recalled that when she heard about the crash, she remembered how Lubitz had said he would do something one day “that would change the system” so “everyone will then know my name and remember me.”

“I did not know what he meant by that at the time, but now it’s clear,” she told the newspaper.

Maria said Lubitz, 27, sometimes woke up at night screaming, “We’re going down!” in terror.

Dusseldorf prosecutors said Friday that police discovered in Lubitz’s home a torn sick note covering the date of the crashed Germanwings flight. They believe he could have been concealing his medical condition from the airline. It wasn’t specified what prompted Lubutz’s doctor to issue him with a medical certificate, however.
