Investigators want to find what 'could have destabilised Lubitz'

European investigators are focusing on the psychological state of the 27-year-old German co-pilot who deliberately crashed an Airbus carrying 150 people into an Alpine mountainside, according to a French police official.

Returning from a meeting with counterparts in Germany, judicial police investigator Jean-Pierre Michel said that authorities want to find out “what could have destabilised Andreas Lubitz, or driven him to such an act”.
