Papers says Germanwings crash pilot had planned big gesture

A woman who said she had a relationship with Andreas Lubitz last year told German daily Bild that the co-pilot was planning a spectacular gesture.

She recalled Lubitz saying, quote, “‘One day I’ll do something that will change the system, and then everyone will know my name and remember it.'”

She also said Lubitz told her he was in psychiatric treatment.

Bild identified her only as Maria W.

The revelation comes after German authorities said they found torn-up sick notes showing that Lupitz was suffering from an illness.

Those notes would have prevented him from flying.

Germanwings, the budget airline of the flag carrier Lufthansa, said he had not submitted any sick note.

All 150 people on board were killed.
