According to the pilot, airbag, triggered when accident, injured him, after what he became worse to see. As Lubitz confessed, after the accident, it often appeared dark around him. At the same time, appointed medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that for the pilot, there is no change in the internal organs.
According to Bild, moreover, Lubicz did not hide anything about being treated with psychotropic drugs, since experiencing severe bouts of depression and panic attacks.
A320 passenger aircraft by airline Germanwings, flying from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, crashed on March 24 in the Alps in the south of France. 144 passengers and six crew members were killed.
After the tragedy, European airlines have begun to introduce new rules on pilots being in cockpits during flight. Thenceforth, the presence of at least two people in the cockpit during the voyage is supposed to become mandatory.
