Investigators has revealed that the Germanwings plane was infact deliberately crashed by none other than the flight's co-pilot, 28-year old Andreas Lubitz in a possible terrorist themed attack.
Carsten Spohr, the Head of Lufthansa, the German carrier that owns Germanwings said the 28-year old was "100% fit to fly without any caveats".
