CNN: Germanwings Co-Pilot Suffered from Vision Problems & Psycho-Somatic Illness

BROWN: “Dramatic new developments here. We’re learning from the New York Times that Andreas Lubitz may have had vision problems and authorities are ruling out that that could have been the result of a psycho-somatic illness. German media other outlets are reporting that a lot of prescription drugs were found inside of his apartment authorities have been searching for days now. I did to Lufthansa’s spokesperson recently who said that — she finds it hard to believe that he could have had vision problems. We know that as part of the annual recertification process that pilots get their vision tested, they go through rigorous testing according to the spokesperson. And I spoke to an aviation source who said that he passed his last exam last summer but we know since then that he’s visited medical clinic here at Dusseldorf just a couple times in the past, a few months. Also, we’re learning from a German media that there may be another woman involved who lived with him. I was just at his apartment yesterday and there are two names on the door: Lubitz and {Goldback}. Now, through a media reporting the name that second person is actually — was his living girlfriend who is a schoolteacher here in Dusseldorf. A lot more to learn on that front. And we are also learning that his father, Andreas Lubitz’s father visited the French Alps yesterday. He said that he is devastated and carrying the burden of this horrific tragedy. Authorities are saying it could be weeks until the bodies of those victims are recovered.”
