A former girlfriend of the killer co-pilot of A320 Airbus Andreas Lubitz said he had long planned a spectacular and unforgettable event and told how she was scared by his erratic behaviour.
The unnamed ex-girlfriend claimed he had plotted for a long time to commit an act so terrible that his name would never be forgotten, she said in an interview with German newspaper Bild.
When she heard about the crash she remembered that Lubitz had told her last year: “One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it.
“I never knew what he meant but now it makes sense.”
She described Lubitz as a tormented character and said that she had left him because of his personal problems and erratic behaviour, which frightened her.
She said at night he woke up and screamed: “We’re going down”, because he had nightmares.
“He knew how to hide from other people what was really going on inside,” she said.
An A320 operated by Germanwings crashed in southern France on March 24, killing 144 passengers, six crewmembers on board.
