Germanwings and its parent company, Lufthansa, are still reeling from the disaster. Senior managers are facing a barrage of questions about Lubitz and the company's policies.

Lubitz passed his annual pilot recertification medical examination in summer 2014, a German aviation source told CNN. An official with Lufthansa said that the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health. The company was never given any indication Lubitz was depressed, the official said, and if he went to a doctor on his own he would have been required to self-report if he had been deemed unfit to fly.

The company has already changed its rules following the crash to ensure that two crew members are in the cockpit at all times. Many other airlines have taken similar steps or been advised by authorities to do so.

More and more information is coming to light about the lives of the passengers and crew members on Flight 9525. They include Iranian sports journalists who had been working at covering a big Spanish soccer game between Barcelona and Real Madrid; a group of young students from a German town who were returning from a school trip; two successful German opera singers who had performed at a Barcelona theater; and an American mother and daughter from Virginia.

Most of the people on the flight were from Germany or Spain, officials have said. Searchers at the mountainside crash site are continuing with their precarious mission to recover the remains of the dead.

Corruption Scandal at Petrobras Threatens Brazil’s
Economy

The accusations of corruption at Brazil’s statecontrolled petroleum giant Petrobras have already led to a political scandal and a change in management. Now, the problems are threatening other Brazilian companies and may even tip the country into recession.

In the wake of a police investigation, called Operation Car Wash, that indicated that Petrobras’s suppliers and subcontractors had bribed executives in return for inflated contracts, the company has halted payments on many projects. Petrobras has also prohibited new contracts with some of the country’s biggest engineering and oil services firms.

The drop in the company’s spending will probably shave 0.75 percent off growth of the nation’s economy this year.

Flight 9525, an Airbus A320, took off at 10:01 a.m. on March 24 from Barcelona, bound for Dusseldorf. The plane had 144 passengers and six crew members on board.

According to French aviation accident investigators, the plane began descending from its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet at 10:31 a.m. It lost contact with French radar at an altitude of 6,175 feet at 10:40 a.m., the investigators said.

Transponder data shows that the autopilot was reprogrammed by someone inside the cockpit to change the plane's altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data.

The aircraft crashed in a remote area near Digneles- Bains in the Alpes de Haute-Provence region.
