Eerie final words of pilot who deliberately crashed plane killing all 150 onboard

The final words of a pilot who deliberately crashed a plane and killed all onboard have been made known, as a documentary about the flight has been released.

The disaster happened in March 2015, and ended with all 150 people on the plane losing their lives. The aircraft was purposefully crashed into the French Alps.

On March 24th 2015, the flight departed from Barcelona and was meant to be heading to Düsseldorf. However, Germanwings Flight 9525 never made it. Less than an hour after takeoff, the flight crashed into the Alps at a speed of 430mph. All onboard passed away.

At the time, it was concluded the crash had been deliberate – caused by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz. Friends and neighbours of the pilot described him as a “quiet” but “fun” character, who enjoyed his job. But, it seemed at home things were very different.

French investigators found he had suffered from a psychiatric condition and had been taking medication before the crash. According to the BBC, Andreas Lubitz was found to have battled with vision problems and insomnia for several months.

“On the day of the accident, the pilot was still suffering from a psychiatric disorder, which was possibly a psychotic depressive episode and was taking psychotropic medication,” the report found. “This made him unfit to fly.”

On the day, the pilot last had contact with air traffic control around half an hour after takeoff. Captain Patrick Sondenheimer exited the cockpit to use the lavatory, and Lubitz then locked the door. He then changed the altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet. This caused a rapid descent towards the mountains.

What were the final words between the captain ad the pilot?

During the investigation, the last words of Andreas Lubitz and Captain Patrick Sondenheimer were revealed. Sondenheimer told Lubitz he hadn’t had a chance to visit the bathroom before the flight. Lubitz could be heard informing his captain he was ready to take over the controls “at any time.” After takeoff, he told the captain he “can go now.” The cockpit door was then heard shutting.

As the plane was descending, Lubitz remained silent. Sondenheimer could be heard banging on the cockpit door. Lubitz had overwritten the emergency cockpit access codes, meaning he was locked in alone and nobody could enter. “For God’s sake, open the door,” Sondenheimer said. Passengers screaming could be heard in the background.

Again, the captain requested he “open the door” but there was no reply. The banging on the door continued, until seconds before impact.
