Clues of Flight 9525 Are Revealed

On the horrifying day of March 24, Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into Alpine mountains. This disastrous crash killed all, 150,  people on board the aircraft. After the plane's blackbox and the audio of the plane were recovered, suspicion of the co-pilot raised. As soon as investigators searched his house for clues, they found a letter from a doctors stating, "unfit to work". With this letter being discovered, Lubitz past life was illuminated. As a child, many of his mentors and friends saw Lubitz as a vibrant, excited child. Growing up, Lubitz followed his dream to become a pilot. During school, peers and colleagues still considered Lubitz "just a normal boy". His training to become a pilot continued, until interrupted by a self-inflicted interruption in 2008. This "interruption", although originally private, has been said to be caused by a "serious depressive episode". His training was soon back on track, and sign of any illness was not noticed by the airline. Moments before the crash had occurred, audio of Lubitz revealed banging on the cockpit door from the pilot, after leaving for a short period of time. As the plane continued to descend, the only noise was Lubitz's steady breathing. Investigation of the horrific scene is still taking place, although difficult because of the terrain. This story will keep unraveling as the investigators uncover more crucial clues. 

As more clues are uncovered the controversy of "was it intentional or not" or "why he did it" , will fade. After reading the audio of the aircraft seconds before the crash, the words do not bring to justice the horrifying knocks and screams of the pilot and the passengers. These screams and the shrapnel of the plane could of been prevented with safety precautions inside the plane. The new recommendation to have two people in the cockpit at all times, could have prevented this terrific scene. Frequent background checks should be set in place to insure the mental healthiness of all crew members. To pass one health screening in beginning years of a position does not insure the future mental stableness of anyone. This change of mental health, is prevalent in this case. As well as other precautions, when the trainee suspends his training with no explanation. Increased attention on the trainee should had been in placed. The sad stories of the families has made the crash even more tragic. To improve future safety, all these precautions and more need to be placed, especially in jobs dealing with the lives of other people. If all precautions fail, the cockpit should be secure against attempts descend an aircraft unexepectedly. Despite the fact of the cause, the families of the victims need to be prayed for.
