    GERMAN NEWS REPORT: Co-Pilot of Germanwings Airbus Was MUSLIM CONVERT …’Hero of Islamic State’?


    Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 26, 2015, 9:48 PM

    GERMAN REPORT —HE WAS RADICALIZED!
    GERMAN CO-PILOT WAS MUSLIM CONVERT–
    — STAYED AT Bremen Mosque

    Police have reportedly found an “item of significance” at the apartment of the co-pilot who crashed the Germanwing passenger plane into the Alps this week.

    The item was NOT a suicide note.



    28-year-old German Andreas Lubitz trained in the Phoenix, Arizona and is pictured here in San Francisco.


    A German news website claims Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert.

    Speisa.com reported:

    According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz.

    Translation from German:

    All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder. As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he – as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York – received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.

    Converts are the most important weapon of Islam. Because their resume do not suggests that they often are particularly violent Muslims. Thus Germany now has its own 9/11, but in a reduced form. And so it is clear that Islam is a terrorist organization that are in accordance with §129a of the Criminal Code to prohibit it and to investigate its followers. But nothing will happen. One can bet that the apologists (media, politics, “Islamic Scholars”) will agree to assign this an act of a “mentally unstable” man, and you can bet that now, once again the mantra of how supposedly peaceful Islam is will continue. And worse still, the attacks by the left against those who have always warned against Islam, will be angrier and merciless.

    For now the German Islam supporters like never before have their backs against the wall.
    Michael Mannheimer, 26.3.2015

    Apparently from the comments at German PI – Andreas Lubitz was Muslim convert from his Facebook page.

    ISLAMIC STATE PRAISES GERMAN CO-PILOT AND MASS MURDERER–

    Another Facebook page was set up=> Support for Andrew Lubitz, hero of the Islamic State.
    (The Facebook page has since been taken down)

    But Pamela Geller captured a screengrab of the page before it was removed.



    A close friend of Andreas Lubitz says he was mentally unstable.

    Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz declared 'unfit to work,' officials say

    By Michael Pearson, Laura Smith-Spark and Faith Karimi, CNN
    Updated 8:10 PM ET, Fri March 27, 2015


    Police search Germanwings co-pilot's home for clues 02:03

    Just what was ailing Lubitz hasn't been revealed. The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that Lubitz suffered from mental illness and kept his diagnosis concealed from his employer.

    A Dusseldorf clinic said he'd gone there twice, most recently 17 days ago, "concerning a diagnosis." But the University Clinic said it had not treated Lubitz for depression.


    German investigators said they still have interviews and other work to do before they'll be able to reveal just what they found in the records in Lubitz's apartment in a quiet, suburban neighborhood.


    They found no goodbye note or confession, authorities said.


    But the fact that investigators found "ripped, recent medical leave notes, including for the day of the offense, leads to the preliminary conclusion that the deceased kept his illness secret from his employer and his professional environment," prosecutors said.


    Authorities left Lubitz's apartment Friday night with boxes of papers and evidence folders after spending about 90 minutes inside.


    Banging and screaming

    According to authorities in Germany and France, Lubitz was a co-pilot on Germanwings Flight 9525 between Barcelona, Spain, and Dusseldorf on Tuesday when he apparently locked the captain out of the cockpit, then activated a control causing the plane to descend toward rugged terrain.

    Germanwings said the plane dropped for about eight minutes from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet before crashing.


    The only sounds, authorities said, were those of pounding on the cockpit door, Lubitz's steady breathing and, eventually, screaming passengers.


    An 8-minute descent to death


    Lubitz and 149 other people on board the plane died in an instant, authorities say.

    Airline: Lubitz had passed initial tests

    What could have prompted Lubitz to deliberately destroy the aircraft, killing everyone on board, remained the focus of investigators in Germany.

    Officials said Lubitz was not known to be on any terrorism list, and his religion was not immediately known.


    He had passed medical and psychological testing when he was hired in 2013, said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings.


    While the ailment Lubitz had sought treatment for hasn't been revealed, that he was declared unfit for work is an important detail, aviation analysts say. Pilots are required to maintain their fitness to fly and must tell their airline if they're found unfit, CNN aviation analyst David Soucie said.

    Reuters reported that a German newspaper said Lubitz had been treated for depression about six years ago.
    Citing internal documents forwarded by Lufthansa to German authorities, Bild reported that Lubitz had suffered a "serious depressive episode" around the time he took a break from his pilot training in 2009, Reuters reported. The Bild report said he then spent about 18 months getting psychiatric treatment. Lufthansa officials and German prosecutors declined to comment on the Bild story, Reuters said.
    Who was co-pilot Andreas Lubitz?
    Although authorities have recovered the cockpit voice recorder, the flight data recorder remains missing. It could shed crucial details about what happened inside the cockpit, authorities say.
    Recovery effort makes progress

    Rescuers have found bodies at the rugged crash site, but few of them are intact, Yves Naffrechoux, captain of rescue operations at Seyne-les-Alpes, told CNN.
    Dangerous and windy condition at the remote site, which covers more than a square mile, are hampering efforts to recover bodies and evidence, he said. Officials with experience traversing the French Alps are helping technicians who don't have alpine skills, he said.

    The mountainous terrain where the Germanwings jet went down is difficult to access.

    "Since they don't know the mountains, you need to provide them with equipment, you need to hold them with rope, give them crampons so they can work well and as precisely as possible, so that no evidence, no body part could escape their vigilance," Naffrechoux said.
    Workers are now looking into the possibility of building a road to the site, Naffrechoux said.
    Recovery teams have made good progress, a French senior paramilitary police official told CNN.
    Gendarmerie Lt. Col. Jean-Paul Bloy, who is coordinating the helicopter operations for the crash site, said there will be two aircraft deployed over the scene Saturday. There were five on Friday, Bloy said.
    As that difficult work continued, relatives and friends of the victims traveled on Lufthansa flights to an area near the site where their loved ones perished.
    They held prayers in Le Vernet, near Seyne-les-Alpes, a village serving as a staging post for the recovery operation. Flowers and pictures sat on the ground, candles flickering in the cold air.
    Germanwings said it was setting up a family assistance center in Marseille, France, with family briefings to start Saturday. Another flight carrying victims' relatives was due to arrive in Marseille from Barcelona on Friday.
    "Our focus in these darkest hours is to provide psychological assistance to the families and friends of the victims," said Thomas Winkelmann, a spokesman for the Germanwings executive board.

    It could be weeks before all the bodies are recovered, identified and released to the families, authorities said.
    Safety measure change

    Meanwhile, the European Aviation Safety Agency issued a temporary recommendation that cockpits always be staffed by at least two crew members.
    "While we are still mourning the victims, all our efforts focus on improving the safety and security of passengers and crews," the agency's director, Patrick Ky, said in a statement.
    Lufthansa and other German airlines have already adopted the rule, the airline said. An official with the German Aviation Association told CNN that it was only a matter of hours, or a day at most, for this rule to be implemented across all big German airlines.
    A pilot aboard a Germanwings flight Friday morning spoke out at the beginning of the trip to "reassure passengers that there will be two people present in the cockpit at all times."

    Germanwings Pilot Andreas Lubitz Sought Treatment for Vision Problems Before Crash, Authorities Say

    DÜSSELDORF, Germany — Andreas Lubitz, who was flying the Germanwings jetliner that slammed into a mountain in the French Alps on Tuesday, sought treatment for vision problems that may have jeopardized his ability to continue working as a pilot, two officials with knowledge of the investigation said Saturday.

    The revelation of the possible trouble with his eyes added a new element to the emerging portrait of the 27-year-old German pilot, who the authorities say was also being treated for psychological issues and had hidden aspects of his medical condition from his employer.


    It is not clear how severe his eye problems were or how they might have been related to his psychological condition. One person with knowledge of the investigation said the authorities had not ruled out the possibility that the vision problem could have been psychosomatic.


    Mr. Lubitz, the co-pilot, was alone in the cockpit of the Airbus A320 jetliner on the flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf, ignoring demands from the captain to be let back in, when the plane crashed. The French prosecutor in the case, drawing from cockpit voice recordings and other data about the flight, has said that Mr. Lubitz deliberately guided the plane, with another 149 people aboard, into the mountains.

    What Happened on the Germanwings Flight

    Maps and a timeline of what is known so far about the timeline of the crash.

    OPEN MAP

    Since then investigators in Germany and France, airline regulators, political leaders and the families of the victims have sought answers about what might have led Mr. Lubitz to do what he did.

    Friends and acquaintances have repeatedly said how important flying was to Mr. Lubitz, who began piloting gliders at a flying club near his hometown at the age of 14.


    In a search of Mr. Lubitz’s apartment here in Düsseldorf on Thursday, the police found doctors’ notes that said he was too ill to work, including on the day of the crash. One had been torn up and thrown in the wastebasket, supporting investigators’ suspicion that he was hiding his medical problems from the airline.


    It appears that, as was the case with his psychiatric problems, Mr. Lubitz did not tell the airline about his vision concerns.

    The Düsseldorf University Hospital said in a statement on Friday that Mr. Lubitz had been evaluated at its clinic in February and as recently as March 10. Reached by phone on Saturday, a spokeswoman would not comment on whether he had sought treatment for vision problems, citing patient privacy laws. The hospital has an eye clinic. On Friday the hospital denied speculation that Mr. Lubitz had sought treatment for depression there.

    Although he was flying for a commercial airline, Mr. Lubitz was a co-pilot and not working the kind of long-haul routes he aspired to.


    When Klaus Radke, president of the club where Mr. Lubitz learned to fly gliders, the Luft sportclub Westerwald, first met Andreas Lubitz, he was a typical 14-year-old in the throes of puberty who was unusual only in his wide-eyed fascination with flying, Mr. Radke said. Last fall, when Mr. Lubitz came back to the club to put in some flight hours he needed to keep his glider’s license current, Mr. Radke was impressed by the fit, professional and by all appearances self-assured pilot Mr. Lubitz had become.


    “When I saw him as an adult compared to a youth, I thought, ‘He really amounted to something,’ ” Mr. Radke said Saturday under a sunny sky as wind swept the grassy landing strip used by the glider club. “He was confident, helpful. I thought, ‘Man, he’s someone who made it.’ ”


    Mr. Radke, who said the club had received emailed death threats for helping Mr. Lubitz begin his flying career, picked up no sign last year that anything with Mr. Lubitz was amiss.

    “I’m not a doctor,” Mr. Radke said. “For me he was normal.”




    Time and again, the same adjectives pop up when people remember Mr. Lubitz. He was courteous and friendly, but reserved and not someone who drew attention to himself — thoroughly normal. The one thing that set him apart was his love of flying.

    Detlef Adolf, manager of a Burger King adjacent to a Montabaur industrial park, described Mr. Lubitz as a reliable and punctual employee during the time, around 2007 or 2008, he worked part time as a cook at the restaurant.


    Mr. Lubitz was still in high school when he worked at Burger King. Mr. Adolf remembered how overjoyed Mr. Lubitz was when, having graduated from high school, he was accepted into pilot training.


    “He was happy — happy that he passed,” Mr. Adolf said.


    The next time that Mr. Adolf saw Mr. Lubitz was when he came into the restaurant for a meal sometime later. “He told me he broke off his training but he didn’t say why,” Mr. Adolf said.

    Mr. Adolf did not pry.


    The parent company of Germanwings, Lufthansa, said this week that Mr. Lubitz had interrupted his pilot training at one point for several months for reasons it did not disclose.


    Referring to the gap in Mr. Lubitz’s training and a designation on his flying license that indicated he was under regular medical care, Mr. Radke said: “If that’s true, as a responsible employer you should ask questions. That’s my personal opinion.”


    “If you’re driving a car and the oil light goes on, do you keep driving? No,” Mr. Radke said. “If no action was taken, there’s a flaw in the system.”

    I've been fearing that some version of this would turn out to be true.

    The pilot not being able to gain entry to the cockpit was the scary element.
