A former girlfriend of the killer co-pilot Andreas Lubitz said he had long planned a spectacular and unforgettable event and told how she was scared by his odd behavior.

The unnamed ex-girlfriend claimed he had plotted for a long time to commit an act so terrible that his name would never be forgotten. When she heard about the crash she remembered that Lubitz had told her last year: “One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it. I never knew what he meant but now it makes sense,” she told the German newspaper Bild(《图片报》).

She described Lubitz as a tormented character and said that she had left him because of his personal problems and odd behavior, which frightened her. “At night he woke up and screamed ‘We’re going down’, because he had nightmares. He knew how to hide from other people what was really going on inside,” she said.

The co-pilot who flew a Germanwings plane into the Alps killing everyone on board had broken up with his fiancée just one day earlier, it is being reported. Andreas Lubitz and his unnamed girlfriend had been together seven years and were due to marry sometime in 2016, according to French media. But the day before the tragedy that cost the lives of Lubitz and 149 other people, the relationship was ended, the French TV channel ITélé claims. Although it had already been reported that they had broken up, the short time period between that happening and the crash could shed new light on the horrific incident.

Lubitz was also a "connoisseur" of the Alpine region where the fatal accident took place, the channel reports, as he used to come to the area for gliding between 1996 and 2003. Searches of the two homes of Lubitz, who deliberately crashed Germanwings Airbus A320 into the French Alps, had not yielded any claim of responsibility or any sort of suicide note, the prosecutors said.
