Investigators of the crash of Germanwings plane on French Alps suspect that Co-Pilot Andreas Lubitz has added some chemicals, probably some diuretic chemicals, to Captain's drink to force him out of the cockpit. Data from the cockpit voice recorder showed that Lubitz locked Captain Patrick Sodenheimer out of the cockpit as soon as he went to the lavatory. The co-pilot then set the auto pilot system to deliberately descend the plane to a height of 100 feet.
Investigators had seized Lubitz's computers, which he used for various searches, in preparation for crashing the Airbus A320. He is believed to have searched on various suicide methods, cockpit door locking system, etc.
German newspaper Gild reported that Lubitz planned the attack under the pseudonym skydevil.
