Germanwings Crash: Passenger writes emotional letter thanking pilot for getting her home safe

In the wake of the Germanwings tragedy, one British air passenger penned an emotional thank you letter to the pilots who flew her home safely.

“In light of the very recent tragedy in the French Alps and the loss of those poor 150 people, I feel the need to reach out to you and extend a compassionate hand,” wrote the passenger known only as Bethanie

“A the end of the day, we are all humans just trying to live this rollercoaster of a life we have all been handed.”

Bethanie went on to say she hopes to create a ripple effect and spread compassion and understanding.

“Thank you for taking me home. Thank you for doing so safely. Thank you for allowing me to live the life I do in Spain and split my time with my family in England too.

“You make the excitement I feel now to see my family possible. I hope you get to see your families soon.

“I’ve had a wonderful flight and hope you have too. You’re making a massive difference and you’re the reason I can smile tonight.”

On Tuesday last week Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed an Airbus A320 in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. It has since been revealed Lubitz underwent treatment for suicidal tendencies before he obtained his commercial pilot licence.

Authorities also found torn up sick notes at his apartment that booked him off flying on the day of the crash.
