^ Lubitz was an avid jogger and was interested in flying since childhood. He started taking lessons as a young teen.
It seems the significant discovery found by police at Lubitz's apartment yesterday was a bunch of ripped up medical notes; it's not been revealed whether the condition for which he was seeking treatment was physical or mental.
New Details Released by the Prosecutor this Morning
• 8:01 a.m.: The fact that Lubitz appears to have ripped up recent medical leave notes "leads to the preliminary conclusion that the deceased kept his illness secret from his employer and his professional environment."
• 8:01 a.m.: The prosecutor's office did not say if the medical leave note related to a physical or a mental health issue but said Lubitz appeared to have been under treatment by a doctor for some time.
• 8:01 a.m.: The medical leave notes issued by a doctor for Lubitz included the day of the crash, the Dusseldorf public prosecutor's office said.
• 9:23 a.m.: Lufthansa, together with other German airlines, has announced the immediate introduction of new rules for the cockpit. It will now be a requirement for there to be two authorized people in the cockpit at all times.
