The
Germanwings pilot who killed 150 people when he deliberately crashed a
plane into the French Alps had seen 40 doctors in five years and seven
in the month leading up to the disaster.
Some
medical experts felt 27-year-old German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who
feared he was losing his eyesight, was psychologically unstable and a
number thought he was unfit to fly.
But
doctors didn't report their concerns to Lubitz's employers because of
German patient privacy laws, Marseille Prosecutor Brice Robin said.
