The co-pilot of Germanwings 9525, found to have deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 into the Alps in March, had contacted dozens of doctors before that flight — possibly in efforts to get help for a mental or physical condition, according to an Associated Press report on Friday. Andreas Lubitz, who killed all 150 people aboard the aircraft, had hidden his severe depression from the airline and its parent, Lufthansa. He had a medical excuse from a doctor for the day of the crash. French prosecutor Brice Robin, who is leading a criminal probe into crash, told the AP Lubitz appeared to be desperately seeking medical attention, but did not specify what the pilot wanted from those he contacted.
