so far the maker of the germanwings airbus says it's unclear what caused the crash. a press conference is expected at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. the plane took off from barcelona just before 10:00 a.m. local time. the crew sent out a distress signal about an hour later just before the plane went down in the french alps. search crews are on their way. this is the area they are having to go through to find this plane. the king of spain, who was in france on his first official visit to the country, says there were a number of passengers from spain, germany and turkey on that flight. we just heard from the german chancellor who says she's deeply shaken and said she will head to the crash site tomorrow. reports from the french government are that no one has survived. that has yet to be officially confirmed. i want to bring in michael kay,
