German Plane Crash Will Be Revealed To Be A Terrorist Event, However, We Will Never Know It. Why Did It Take Two Days To Reveal The Co-Pilot's Name When We Knew The Captain Immediately? Germanwings Knew Something And Did Not Want It Revealed. What Else Are They Hiding?

Germanwings Co-Pilot Named as Andreas Lubitz

French prosecutor Brice Robin said noises like a door being kicked down can be heard on the black box 
recording recovered from Tuesday’s plane crash in the French Alps. Mark Kelly reports.
FRANKFURT—Andreas Lubitz, the 28-year-old co-pilot who authorities 
say appeared to fly Germanwings Flight 9525 intentionally into the French 
Alps, had passed all flight training and psychological screening and had no 
record of problems, the chief executive of the airline’s parent company said 
Thursday.
Deutsche Lufthansa AG Chief Executive Carsten Spohr said at a news 
conference that he had no indications why Mr. Lubitz, a German national, 
would have intentionally crashed the plane.
Earlier in the day, the French prosecutor in charge of the crash probe named 
Mr. Lubitz as the co-pilot, and said he appeared to have locked himself 
inside the cockpit, preventing his more-experienced pilot to re-enter, after 
the pilot had left the cockpit. Then he appeared to intentionally crash the jet, 
the prosecutor said.
Mr. Lubitz joined budget carrier Germanwings in 2013 and had 630 flight
 hours, according to Lufthansa. He completed flight training in Bremen, 
Germany. Mr. Spohr said Mr. Lubitz had been qualified fit to fly and cleared 
all screening checks. But he also said he had interrupted his training for some 
months, without providing details. He said he couldn’t comment on Mr.
 Lubitz’s break in training, but said he was tested again for flight fitness
 after returning.

German Interior 
Minister Thomas de 
Maizière said separately
 Thursday that German 
security forces have no
 indication that Mr. 
Lubitz had a terrorism
 background.
“According to our present 
information...we have no
 indication of any kind 
of terroristic background
 for him,” Mr. de Maizière said in a televised statement.
Some early biographical about Mr. Lubitz started to come into view. He was 
a member of a German flying club that said he joined the group as a youth to 
“fulfill his dream of flying.”
The LSC flying club, which is in the German state of Rhineland Palatinate,
 named Mr. Lubitz as a member and the co-pilot of the plane in a death notice
 on its website posted before the prosecutor’s statement.

He comes from the town of Montabaur, about 60 miles northwest of 
Frankfurt. The town issued a statement on Thursday expressing sympathy 
with the family, but didn’t name Mr. Lubitz.
It wasn’t immediately possible to reach family members or representatives of 
Mr. Lubitz.
Flight 9525 crashed Tuesday en route from Barcelona to Düsseldorf with 
150 people on board.
