Recovered. And investigators are trying to figure out just what caused that crash of a Germanwings Airbus in the alps. 150 people on board. Everyone on that flight from barcelona to germany presumed dead including two babies a German School group. The cause a mystery. Germanwings said it descended from its cruising altitude for eight minutes before radar contact was lost and the plane slammed into the mountain. Now crews are struggling to recover bodies and wreckage from the snowcovered High Mountain valley where this plane went down. I want to bring you the latest this morning from cnns Erin Mclaughlin. The recovery staging area about six miles from the crash. Good morning, erin. Reporter hi christine. Well that recovery effort has resumed this morning. This after it was suspended in the overnight hours due to difficult conditions. But, you know, earlier we saw some four helicopters land in the field just behind me which officials have been using as a staging operation for the air efforts. Those helicopters have flown off, presumably for the crash site. Weve heard from a spokesperson for the interior minister say that the crash site has been secured and that he said that if all goes well they hope to helicopter into place police later today. Now, that crash site has been problematic for officials. Its in an extremely remote location accessible primarily by air. The terrain there described as difficult. And the wreckage strewn across a wide area. Local Officials Saying the plane had been completely obliterated, so this is going to be a very slow and painstaking process, Officials Say. Now, were also hearing this morning from frances interior minister talking about the black box that had been recovered yesterday. He said that it was the flight cockpit recorder. He said that it had been damaged, but they hope to have that recorder fixed in the coming hours and working. Christine. Erin mclaughlin, thank you so much for that near the staging area where theyre trying to do that recovery. Thank you. Passengers aboard Germanwings Flight 9525 came from all over europe as well as a handful from south america, asia and australia. Nearly half of them at least 67, were german. The german chancellor Angela Merkel says the crash has plunged germany, france and spain into quote, deep mourning. Today she will travel to the crash site. 16 students and 2 teachers on that flight were returning to the town of halter near dus dussledorf. Now the town is in mourning. Just heartbreaking, rosie. Reporter absolutely christine. Were here at the airport where the flight of course was intended before the crash took place. And it was here that many of those families came on tuesday, yesterday, when they heard news of the crash in search of answers only to have their worst fears confirmed to find out that their loved ones were on board. So terrible scenes here and across germany, people mourning. They did set up a Crisis Center here at the airport to help those family members deal with the trauma. There have been psychologists on hand to help them deal with the tragedy that theyre suffering. Meanwhile, the airline has also offered to fly family members who would like to go to the scene or near the scene in the region of the french alps just so that they could be nearer to the crash, nearer to their lost loved ones. So the airline, theyre doing what they can to support the families affected. And meanwhile, the nation in mourning. You mentioned those 16 School Students tragically lost. That town you mentioned where the school is based, its just 80 kilometers north of dusseldorf. Two teachers also were on board. The mayor of the town appeared yesterday. He spoke in public and was visibly very shaken and emotional, talking about a town in shock. He said you could feel it everywhere. Also has emerged these two Opera Singers on board. They were also from the region. They had been performing a series of operas at the barcelona opera house and were flying back. One of them the female maria, was traveling with her husband and baby on board. So these personal details emerging giving faces and names to those numbers which really bring into focus the personal tragedy suffered christine. 67 german nationals, a number that could continue to change as the story unfolds, christine. Rosie for us in dusseldorf thank you. The king of spain returning home this morning. The Germanwings Flight ormg originated in barcelona. About 45 passengers were spanish nationals. Still no official count from officials in spain. Mourning with those families are the residents of the small spanish town where the german students attended that exchange program. Hundreds gathered at a mass to remember their new german friends. Cnns karl penhaul is there with the latest. Good morning, karl. Reporter good morning, christine. And as we heard rosie explaining there had been a School Exchange program. 16 german students had been here in this town. They had been here for a week studying spanish in this local school where children are beginning to show up again this morning. Three weeks ago spanish children had been at their homes in germany. So this tragedy has united families in grief, families that previously were united in friendship. And in a little while, in about an hour from now, in fact those Children Together with some of the parents, together with some of the teachers are going to join together in the school gymnasium. Theyll have some kind of remembrance remembrance. Its going to be a little bit spontaneous, but the children are going to remember friendships that were made and friendships that have now been lost. But of course that just highlights some of the issues surrounding this tragedy. There are, of course many other nationalities on board. It wasnt just spaniards or germans on that flight. We also have had word now that there were colombians on the flight there were mexicans on the flight there were argentineans on the flight. One of those Opera Singers that rosie also mentioned, he was there kazakhstan. We know that two japanese were on the flight some australians were on the flight. This is very much a tragedy that transcends nations and transcends generations, christine. It sure is. Karl penhaul, thanks so much. And Budget Travel across europe in recent years has become so much easier to do admirable things like crossborder School Exchanges just makes it that much more sad. Thanks karl. Recent events have a lot of travelers wondering are those Budget Airlines safe . Budget airlines do cut corners but on convenience. They cut corners on legroom, complimentary drink, low airfares but not a lot of trils. Experts tell us they do not cut costs on safety. They do pay crews less than other airlines but that doesnt mean the pilot isnt safe and the planes themselves are very well maintained. In this particular case this was a very experienced cabin crew. Some perspective here southwest is one of the bestknown budget carriers here in the u. S. Never has had a major crash. Its stock was a top performer on the s p 500 last year. And lufthansas stock is down since the germanwings plane crashed. Not really a surprise there, but many people say that the maintenance arm of lufthansa among the best in the world. Just a tragic accident it looks like at this time. A lot more investigation still to go. Eight minutes past the hour. Happening now, the rift widening between the white house and israel. President obama with new criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Plus a new plan for u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Thats next.

President obama giving up all hope for a Peace Agreement between israel and the palestinians while hes still in office. The president says because of conflicting comments from israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it is no longer realistic to expect a twostate solution in the next several years. And he had plenty to say about the eroding relationship between israel and the United States. Heres cnns senior White House Correspondent jim acosta. Reporter christine, no thaw in that chill in Relations Just yet. President obama is still refusing to accept israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus explanations about his stance on Palestinian Statehood describing their relationship as businesslike. The president said theres nothing personal on their disagreement on the Iran Nuclear Talks and prospects for a palestinian state. At a News Conference with the new president of afghanistan, mr. President dismissed netanyahus latest position in favor of a twostate solution with the palestinians. Something the Prime Minister rejected just before his reelection. Heres what the president had to say. Hes pointed out that he didnt say never, but that there would be a series of conditions in which a palestinian state could potentially be created. But of course the conditions were such that they would be impossible to meet any time soon. Reporter making matters worse is that wall street journal report quoting u. S. Officials that theyre spying and leaking details to congress. When asked about that the president tried to laugh it off saying he doesnt talk about Intelligence Matters with reporters, but lawmakers on capitol hill are throwing water on these allegations, and the israelis theyre not amused issuing a statement saying these allegations are utterly false. The state of israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or israels other allies. Christine . Jim, thanks for that. The Nuclear Talks with iran theyre going down to the wire. Secretary of state john kerry heads back to switzerland this afternoon. Five more days of negotiations ahead. The deadline to reach a framework for an agreement, just seven days away. Both sides say substantial progress has been made, but significant gaps remain. Happening now, saudi arabia positioning heavy military equipment along its border with yemen. U. S. Intelligence sources say the saudis could be preparing for airstrikes against Iranianbacked Houthi rebels. The houthis have already secured the capital. After standing on the sidelines for weeks, the United States now assisting the iraqis providing aerial intelligence in their fight to retake the city of tikrit from isis. The request for help came from the Iraqi Government and could pave the way for usairstrikes. About 20,000 iranianbacked shiites have joined forces with iraq to push isis out of saddam husseins birthplace but heavy resistance in recent weeks has stalled the campaign. A slowdown in the drawdown of u. S. Troops in afghanistan. President obama announcing the current level of 9,800 troops will remain in afghanistan through the end of the year instead of the reduction that had been promised bringing that number down to 5,500 as planned. Afghanistans president , ashraf ghani, had requested an adjustment of this troop withdrawal time line. Hes wrapping up his First Official to the u. S. Hell address a joint meeting of congress today. Secret Service Director joe clancy getting another grilling from lawmakers over that incident involving two senior agents allegedly drunk who drove through the scene of an active bomb threat investigation at the white house. This happened earlier this month. Clancy has refused to let his agents working that night testify. Justreleased Surveillance Video shows a government vehicle driving through a secure area at the white house, then bumping a temporary barrier as officers and agents investigated a suspicious package. If ted cruz is elected president , he vows that one of his first acts will be to repeal obamacare. Until then sign him up. The newly minted republican candidate is losing his Health Insurance he had through his wifes job at Goldman Sachs because she is taking an unpaid leave of absence to join his campaign so cruzs family finds itself without corporatebacked Health Insurance. Theyll have to get coverage through the Affordable Care act, a law he has been on a crusade to kill. Heres what he told cnns dana bash. So yes, ill get my insurance through my job like millions of other americans. Thats not a shocking will you take a subsidy from your job, which is the federal government . We will follow the text of the law i strongly oppose the exemption that president obama illegally put in place for members of congress because harry reid and the Senate Democrats didnt want to be under the same rules as the american people. That means you are going to take a government subsidy . I believe we should follow the text of the law. The law that you want to repeal . Yes. No i believe we should follow the text of every law, even laws i disagree with. A spokesperson for cruz now says the senator wont ask for a government subsidy to purchase obamacare. Severe weather in the forecast from Central Texas to indiana. Our meteorologist tracking those conditions for us. He has an early look at your weather. Christine, wild setup over the past 24 hours.

What could have caused Germanwings Flight 9525 to descend from c no reported weather issues . pwasita mechanicalailure . Pilot error . Cnns tom foreman runs down some of the possibilities in our virtual studio. This descent was somewhat rapid but not so fast that anybody in the cabin would necessarily have noticed it until they were actually able to see the mountains right outside the windows. And that sort of dispenses one of the theories about what happened that it was a catastrophic failure in the air, that the tail or wing tore off. If that would have happened the plane would have come down much more quickly. The debris would have been scattered over a much wider area on the ground. So if thats not what happened what are some other possibilities . Well every analyst weve talked to about this have said look at the flight pattern of this plane. It is a direct descent that seems very controlled 400 to 500 miles an hour the whole time the a Straight Line no sign of anything unusual happening. That they say, would be consistent with the crew trying to get to a lower altitude and deal with some sort of problem. But we still dont know what that problem would have been. And frankly, if they had this kind of control, why wouldnt have they have veered away from the mountains and gone to some of the airports nearby that they might have been able to reach safely . So that brings up one other possibility here. What if they just didnt know that they were crashing . This happens. Sometimes pilots have false readings from instrumentation. They dont know how fast their plane is traveling. They dont know where it is in relationship to the ground or they simply become so distracted by some other issue that they just lose whats called situational awareness. And by the time they would have realized they were in deep trouble, they had no time left to do anything about it. All right. Tom foreman, thank you for that. Happening now, this intense search to recover the victims of that flight germanwings 9525. Investigators examining now one of the planes back blockses. Live Team Coverage next. An intense search to find the remains of those on board Germanwings Flight 9525 the airbus crashing into the french alps. Investigators examining the planes cockpit voice recording to figure out just what went so wrong. Live Team Coverage bringing you every angle of this story begins right now. Welcome back to early start. Im christine romans. Its 30 minutes past the hour this morning. The cockpit voice recording black box has now been recovered, and investigators are trying to figure out what caused the crash of a Germanwings Airbus in the french alps with 150 people on board. Everyone on that flight from barcelona to dusseldorf presumed dead including two babies. The cause of the crash a mystery. Germanwings says the plane descended from its cruising a little tudaltitude for eight minutes before contact was lost and the plane slammed into the mountain. Now crews are struggling to recover bodies and wreckage from snowcovered High Mountain valley here where that plane went down. I want to bring in now cnns Erin Mclaughlin in the recovery staging area thats about six miles from the crash site. Good morning, erin. Reporter hi christine. Well that allimportant recovery operation has resumed this morning. This after it had been suspended in the overnight hours due to difficult conditions. Now, the airfield you see behind me has been a hive of activity for the past few hours. Weve seen a number of helicopters land and then take off again. On board those helicopters are police officials, mountaineering specialists as well as investigators, all heading to that crash site a site that has been problematic for officials. Its in an extremely remote location accessible mainly by air. The terrain there has been described by local officials as difficult. And the plane, upon impact local Officials Say was pretty much obliterated with wreckage strewn across a wide area including human remains. Local Officials Say it could take them at least a week to search the area let alone begin to recover bodies and piece together what exactly happened to that illfated flight. Meanwhile, this morning in france we heard from the interior minister say that the black box that was recovered yesterday was the flight cockpit recorder. That black box, he said had been damaged in the crash, but they hope to have it fixed in the coming hours. Christine . Erin mclaughlin, thank you for that. Passengers aboard Germanwings Flight 9525 came from all over europe as well as a handful from south america, asia and australia. Nearly half of them at least 67 were german. The german chancellor Angela Merkel says the crash has plunged germany, france and spain into deep mourning. Today she will travel to that crash site. 16 students and 2 teachers on the flight were returning to the town of haltern near dusseldorf after a week in an exchange in spain. Now that town is in mourning. Cnns Rosie Tompkins joins us from dusseldorf. People from all walks of life on that flight. This was a Budget Airline. So many of them in europe over the past decade allowing people to take trips they might not otherwise have been able to take. Reporter yes, christine. A very Popular Airline as well especially for german holidaymakers going to mediterranean cities and in this case tragically for this group of School Students that you mentioned that were in spain on this Foreign Language exchange experience flying home to return to their families with their two teachers. All of them died in the crash with the two teachers. Just tragic news for this town which is just 80 kilometers north of where i am now at the airport. The mayor of the town appeared in public yesterday. He was visibly moved, very very emotional, talking about the impact on the town and shock felt all across the town. Also other names emerging like these two Opera Singers on board also from the dusseldorf region. One of them was traveling with her husband and baby. So again, these names and faces starting to give focus to the personal tragedies in this terrible story. But dusseldorf airport where the flight was intended is where many of the families came yesterday to get news and to receive that terrible news that it was their family members on board. Theres a Crisis Center set up here to provide support to those traumatized by all of this. Theyve also been offered by the airline, if they want to to fly to the site or near to the site of the crash just so that they can be near to their lost loved ones. And meanwhile, germanwings, the airline, has said that some of its crew have asked not to travel receiving the news of the crash and, of course of their colleagues lost in this terrible tragedy. Many details unfolding. 67 german nationals, a number that may change as more details emerge. Christine . Some of those crew members dont want to fly right now, as they mourn their colleagues. Thank you so much for that rosie. Now, the king of spain canceling a state visit to france to return home this morning. The flight originated in barcelona, and a count of spanish surnames suggest about 45 of those passengers were probably spanish nationals. Still no official count from officials in spain. Mourning along with those families in germany are the residents of the small spanish town where those German Exchange students attended the program. Hundreds gathering at a mass to remember their new friends. Cnns karl penhaul is there with the latest. Good morning, karl. And if i understand it correctly, some of these spanish students had just been in germany recently on their part of the exchange. Reporter yeah absolutely christine. As you know i mean these kind of School Exchange programs, theyre very common in europe. So a child will go to the host country, will stay with the host family. Theyll forge friendships, going to school and learning the language is only part of this overall cultural exchange. And about three weeks ago a group of spanish students were in germany. So this was the return leg, really when these 16 german students came here just north of barcelona. These were friendships that were being consolidated. These were friendships that were being forged not only in the classroom, perhaps on the soccer field, in the streets around this town friends who were friends only just yesterday, well here in spain, they have to now come to terms with the fact that they will not be seeing those friends next year. Its something that school is taking very seriously to try and give support to the children to the families as well. Yesterday afternoon, red cross members were here at the school trying to give some psychological support, trying to help the kids work through these issues. And later on today, there will also be a Commemoration Service so that they can pay tribute to their fallen friends. But of course not just these in this town affected but also across spain, across many other nationalities as well. And right now lufthansa has not given out a conclusive list of how many spaniards were on board that flight. Initial suggestions suggest about 45. But again, that is the number of spanish surnames because we already know that there were colombians, memexicans argentineans people from latin america on board as well. Were hoping to get further detail from lufthansa during the course of the day about the exact makeup of passengers on board that flight. Karl penhaul in spain, thanks for that karl. Now, the weather in the french alps expected to make the work of recovery crews even tougher this morning. I want to bring in meteorologist Pedram Javaheri for the latest on that. Christine, yes, you know this part of the world on wednesday, the weather pattern as rough as it gets. Fog, freezing rain snowfall. You look at the terrain, near vertical flow. This is 60 to 70degree slopes that officials out there have to deal with when it comes to literally having ice, perhaps snow on there as we head into the afternoon hours of wednesday. But heres the track of the flight. Notice the thunderstorms as it approached the region where it made last point of contact. Were actually well to the south. We know weather probably not a factor as the plane went down. Impressive depiction from barcelona, notice the vertical profile. It makes an incline and gets up to cruising altitude of 38,000 feet. It comes down very quickly. Kind of a very steady decline in the altitude coming down over an eightminute period and the crash point at 6500 feet high. Whats interesting about this region of the alps and the crash zone is thats precisely where the rain and snow line will be on wednesday. So anywhere north of this a lot of debris strewn about, snow showers possible south of it where organizers are in place, 4,000 to 5,000 feet thats where we have rain in the forecast. So all sorts of weather going to hamper the operations. The crash zone in this region about 6500 feet high. 6500 feet high tough going there. Breaking news a lufthansa spokesperson says the airline will no longer use the flight number 9525. Retiring the number. Thats the number of the Germanwings Flight that crashed yesterday, killing all 150 people on board. So a lot of discussion about lowcost and Budget Airlines and the explosion of these airlines especially in europe over the past few years. Does low cost does budget mean less safety . I want to bring in cnn money correspondent allison kosik. Theyre just as safe as the bigger carriers. As far as the experts we talked to yes. These lowBudget Airlines are considered safe. Budget airlines do cut corners, though. But they cut corners on convenience. So what that means is youre going to get less legroom, no beverage service. Youre going to be charged for your bags. But experts say they dont skip when it comes to safety. They do pay crews less. Yes, thats true but that doesnt mean an unsafe pilot. It just most likely means a less experienced pilot. This pilot was not low experience. He had ten years of experience. This particular pilot defies sort of that trend. Right. Its not a rule. This is sort of generalizations that these experts were making actually. And interestingly enough these Lowcost Airlines wind up having newer fleets than other carriers. In this case, this plane was 24 years old. And 33 euros i think is the starting fare. You can see why there are people from all walks of life. Some might not have been able to fly if it hadnt been for that. What do their track records look like . For the european carriers the discount carriers theyve got strong Safety Record theyre really on par with the industry as a whole. Germanwings specifically has a very good reputation. It was launched by lufthansa in 2002 to compete with ryanair and easey easyjet. And lufthansa has one of the best Safety Records in the world. The plane that crashed yesterday, the airbus a320 is also one of the safest in the world. As you said earlier, these airlines really give access to a lot of people to just be able to go places they wouldnt ordinarily be able to go. Richard quest was reporting yesterday that lufthansa in particular has a Maintenance Division that is you know bar none, among the best in the world. And this particular Budget Airline is owned by lufthansa, and for the past seven or eight years, has been completely absorbed in its operation. Well have to see exactly what was the cause of this crash. Thank you so much allison. Thank you for that. Tension rising between israel and the white house.

Search crews trying to find the remains of those on board germanwings 9525. Were examining what could have happened. Confront a confounding mystery, what could have caused Germanwings Flight 9525 to descend from cruise altitude and fly straight into a mountain with no distress call and no reported weather issues. Could this have been a mechanical failure . Pilot error . Cnns tom foreman runs down some of the possibilities in our virtual studio. This descent was somewhat rapid but not so fast that anybody in the cabin would necessarily have noticed it until they were actually able to see the mountains right outside the windows. And that sort of dispenses one of the theories about what happened, that it was a catastrophic failure in the air, that the tail fell off or a wing tore off. If that would have happened, the plane would have come down much more quickly in less controlled fashion. The debris would have been scattered over a much wider area on the ground. So if thats not what happened, what are some other possibilities . Well, every analyst weve talked to about this has said look at the flight pattern of this plane. It is a direct descent that seems very controlled, 400 to 500 miles an hour the whole time, a Straight Line, no sign of anything unusual happening. That, they say, would be consistent with the crew trying to get to a lower altitude and deal with some sort of problem. But we still dont know what that problem would have been. And frankly, if they had this kind of control, why wouldnt they have veered away from the mountains and gone to some of the airports nearby that they might have been able to reach safely . So that brings up one other possibility here. What if they just didnt know that they were crashing . This happens. Sometimes pilots have false readings from instrumentation. They dont know how fast their plane is traveling. They dont know where it is in relationship to the ground, or they simply become so distracted by some other issue that they just lose whats called situational awareness. And by the time they would have realized they were in deep trouble, they had no time left to do anything about it. All right. Tom foreman for us in the virtual studio thank you for that.

[ male announcer ] introducing xfinity my account. Available on any device. Time for an early start on your money this morning. I want to bring in cnn money correspondent allison kosik. I feel like the market has been so blah this week. I know stocks fell yesterday, but whats going on this morning . It is kind of blah. You look at what happened last week the fed really made a statement literally and kind of set the market off to a certain path and now its kind of caution ahead. Were looking at stock futures barely moving so far. You look at how yesterday was. Stocks fell across the board. The dow lost 104 points. The nasdaq fell below 5,000. Lower volume by the way, had a little to play in that trading activity as well. We did see stocks fall despite positive data showing more momentum in the u. S. Economy from climbing new home sales to rising inflation and manufacturing. And its those stronger data points that could wind up catching investors attention as to when the fed may go ahead and raise rates. That housing number for number that housing number was amazing yesterday. Watch out for housing this spring. And we have seen housing lose momentum so this is a hopeful sign. Tell me about this alarming report about female business leaders. Theres not a big pipeline and theres not as many women as youd think. Its a big bummer isnt it . According to cnn money analysts there are only 24 female ceos in the s p 500. That comes out to less than 5 . And only 14 of the top five leaderships in the companies are held by women. So that means the pipeline for future leaders is very thin. But the big news this morning is one of the most powerful women on wall street whos moving to google. Yeah i love this story because its about ruth porat at morgan stanley, leaving after spending three decades there. Shell be joining google as its new chief financial officer, making her one of the most powerful women in tech. Porat gives up the title on wall street though. Its interesting that we havent yet seen its first female ceo. I do like her mantra. She hates that phrase work live balance. She says she likes to find a satisfying mix between work and family. Nearstheres no such thing. Everyone knows its never a balance. Thanks so much allison. Early start continues right now.
