Friends Of Germanwings Co-Pilot Andreas Lubitz Say He’s Being Framed: We Don’t Think So…

It’s disheartening that despite this terrible tragedy some people would feel the need for a stunt like this; but it’s the social media age and things like these are the inevitable by-product.

Andreas Lubitz is the pilot who locked himself in the cockpit of the Germanwings Airbus A320 and deliberately crashed it into the French Alps, killing 150 people.

Audio obtained from the black box of the plane suggested that one of the pilots was forced to try and smash down the door after being unable to enter the flight deck for almost 8 minutes before the crash. Investigations since has also revealed a disturbed man who had a hidden mental disorder that he failed to disclose to employers.

Despite this, his friends have set up a Facebook page to try and clear his name as they claim he’s being framed. They’ve formed a Facebook page, ‘Andreas Lubitz A320 wir sind gegen die Hetzjagd’– ‘Andreas Lubitz A320, we are against the hunt’.

MailOnline catalogues some of their arguments, such as that the black box recording has been tampered with by Lufthansa, to make it seem like he deliberately crashed the plan. Others say the absence of the second black box also points to a cover-up, and that a former girlfriend has been paid by the media to denigrate his character.

They claim there were mechanical faults with the plane, which really led to the crash and not the actions of the pilot. Most of the page’s followers are from his hometown of Montabour and surrounding areas.

They’re grieving their friend but I’m not sure this is the right outlet for it. A cover-up seems a bit farfetched, especially when everything points to the actions of one disturbed individual perpetuating this tragedy. If something like the cover-up they’re insinuating happened it wouldn’t take the press very long to jump on it.
