German prosecutors close Germanwings crash investigation

German prosecutors said Monday they had closed their investigation into the crash of a Germanwings plane in the French Alps almost 2 years ago, concluding there were no indications that anybody other than co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had been involved in the intentional crash. Lubitz had in the past suffered from depression, but authorities and his airline later deemed him fit to fly. In the months ahead of the crash, Lubitz suffered from sleeplessness and feared losing his vision, but he hid that from his employer. Prosecutor Kumpa said no third party was involved or aware that Lubitz was planning to crash the plane. In France, authorities have been conducting their own separate investigation of the crash. It also seeks to determine eventual criminal responsibility for the crash. <br/>
