Prosecutor: Germanwings Co-Pilot Had History of "Suicidal Tendencies" 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Germanwings co-pilot who crashed a plane in the French Alps, killing
all 150 people on board, reportedly received treatment for "suicidal
tendencies." A German prosecutor said Andreas Lubitz was in treatment
for the problems “over a long period” before he received his pilot's
license. Officials are also looking into reports Lubitz suffered from
vision problems, which may have been psychosomatic.
