This R&D provides resources on the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. Last Tuesday, the plane crashed into the French Alps and a subsequent investigation has revealed that the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, intentionally directed the aircraft into its fatal descent. Since Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit in the process of deliberately crashing the plane, airlines have moved to mandate that at least two people remain in the cockpit at all times. 150 people perished in the crash.
A focus on the Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz’s mental illness has raised concerns that it risks fueling stigma. http://t.co/fVUn73H5bX
