Prosecutor: Destroyed Doctor’s Notes Show Co-Pilot Was Unfit To Fly on Day of Crash

The notes were found in Andreas Lubitz’s apartment

CAMEROTA: "Fred, one particularly chilling element of this is that they say that they found a ripped-up note from a doctor that was giving this co-pilot a medical excuse to have taken the day off, the day of the crash. Is there any more on that?

PLEITGEN: "The day of the crash -- not just the day of the crash. They said that they had found medical notes that had been ripped up for the recent times, over the past couple of days and including the day that this fight took place. So he was, in fact, deemed unfit to work on the day he did fly the airplane. So that of course sheds light or at least sheds a little bit of light on why he might have done all this. What exactly this illness was it's certainly something we're going to try to find out. Certainly, the next thing that the prosecutors are probably going to try to do is speak to that doctor who issued that note and see what exactly happened and how long he had been within this treatment and how bad his illness actually was."
