Germanwings plane crash: Co-pilot Lubitz 'normal and friendly'
Police in Germany have been searching two addresses used by the Germanwings co-pilot who reportedly deliberately crashed his plane in the Alps in France, killing all 150 people on board.
A French prosecutor says Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit and put the plane into a descent.
German newspapers are reporting that he had a history of depression and had to interrupt his flight training in 2008 for psychological treatment.
But people from Montabaur, the small German town where Lubitz was born and brought up, told Tom Bateman he seemed quite normal ahead of the flight.
