The house where Andreas Lubitz's parents lived in the German town of Montabaur, shuttered and guarded by police. Men, perhaps investigators the only ones granted access.
We were told the grandparents lived in this nearby house but they're unwilling to speak about the man French prosecutors say may have deliberately crashed flight 9525. I asked if they are relatives.
"No, thank God, we're not." they say, getting into a police car. "We are just trying to get away."
But gliding was clearly a passion for the young Lubitz. Between the ages of 12 or 14 Lubitz was a regular fixture at this gliding club on the outskirts of Montabaur where a senior member described him as a regular kind of teenager, one who was committed to following his dream.
"A very normal young person full of energy," he says, "What can I say? He had a bright future. He made his hobby into his job. What more can you hope to achieve?"
Germanwings said Lubitz had 630 hour of flight time behind him, that he trained in the Lufthansa Academy in Bremen. But Lufthansa's CEO told journalists there had clearly been some kind of a break.
There was an interruption with regards to the training, and after then the candidate managed to go through. He continued his training. he then also passed all medical tests, all flight examinations and all check.
Whether that break holds the key to this horror, we don't know. The clues from the black box says to Lubitz's psychological state as the plane went down simply that he was silent but breathing, as the pilot knocked desperately on the cockpit door. Diana Magnay, cnn, Montabaur, Germany.
