The 2015 accident caused shock when the researchers revealed that the co -piloto, Andreas Lubitz, had deliberately fired the plane against the slope of a French mountain.
Small events were held in France, Germany and Spain to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps.
On the morning of March 24, 2015, Germanwings’s 9525 flight came from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. But Andreas Lubitz, the copilot of the plane, deliberately packed the plane on the slope of a mountain, killing the 150 people aboard the plane, the researchers concluded.
Among the victims were 16 students and two teachers of an AM Halter, see high school, a city in western Germany, who returned home after an exchange trip to Spain.
The other passengers also included two babies, two renowned German opera singers, a member of an Argentine rock band, three generations of a family, a mother and a child on vacation, a newly married couple, business travelers and many others. Although most of the victims were from Germany and Spain, 17 nationalities were explained among fatalities.
Many relatives of the victims visited the accident scene in the French Alps, near the town of Le Vernet. Several local authorities, together with Carsten Spohr, executive director of Lufthansa, the GermanEwings mother company, have also deposited flowers in memory of Lost Lives.
On Haltern Am, Ver, Germany, the students put roses in the courtyard of Joseph König high school and hundreds of people gathered in the rain to make a minute of silence at 10:41, the exact time of the plane drew.
The director of the school, Christian Krahl, emphasized the importance of remembering the tragedy, even for students who were not directly affected by it.
“We want to be close to those who are infinitely sad to this day,” he said.
Flower crowns were also placed in the city’s cemetery, where some of the students are buried. A monument was erected with the form of a classroom in honor of lost lives.
Events were also planned at the airports of Düsseldorf and Barcelona. At Düsseldorf airport, there was a condolence book available in the SO -CALLED silence room for employees and travelers.
The accident caused shock worldwide when it was revealed that the co -piloto had locked the captain out of the cabin and deliberately hit the plane on a mountain slope.
Lubitz had already suffered from depression, but both his airline and the authorities considered appropriate to fly. In the months prior to the accident, he had insomisses and was afraid to be blinded, but hid his difficulties for his employer.
“This state of shock, the deep sympathy of all the inhabitants by families and the question of knowing why this has happened today,” said Haltern Am, Andreas Stegemann, to the German media.
“The Germanwings accident is a permanent part of the history of our city,” he said.
The accident scene in France is now marked by a “solar orb” of 5 meters, which represents the sun and the five continents. The monument, which consists of 149 gold aluminum plates, which mark all people on board, except the co -piloto, was erected in 2017.
