Investigators are frantically trying to piece together what led the Germanwings co-pilot to deliberately steer himself and 149 passengers and crew to their deaths in Tuesday’s plane crash in the French Alps.
Authorities aren’t revealing much about Andreas Lubitz other than to say the 28-year-old had no known terrorist links, and that he had passed the airline’s medical and psychological tests. He joined Germanwings, the low-cost carrier operated by Deutsche Lufthansa AG, in September 2013.
