And the dna how are you proceed ing with that? i propose to the families when they are at the chapel -- and i introduced them to the head of the identification that if they wish to give their dna in order to speed up the process for identification, that that would speed up the process. the families who arrived by plane are due to leave, perhaps this evening. im not sure, it may be later on. when did the passengers realize what was happening? the airbus 320 is rather a big plane.

2,000. so he went from what we 380 to 80 or 90 if im not mistaken. 380, which is 30,000 feet to 6,000 feet. so we can conclude that in all circumstances, its deliberate. at the moment i consider it to be deliberate first of all, refusing entry to the cockpit. second maneuvering the lever for loss of altitude. not so much but it is 1,000 meters a minute, as if he was landing. were above the mountains, arent we? and theres no other airport which could receive an airbus 320 anywhere near.

>> at the moment i consider it to be deliberate. first of all, refusing entry to the cockpit. second, maneuvering the lever for loss of altitude. youve said its not so much, but it is 1,000 meters a minute, as if he was landing. were above the mountains, arent we? theres no other airport which could receive an airbus 320 anywhere near. >> a deliberate act that killed 150 people. the copilot was 28-year-old andreas lubitz, a german citizen. he had been with the airline since 2013. you can see a p...

A premeditated or prethought perhaps but relying on the opportunity of being able to execute his plan. >> yet, being able to withstand the ten minutes of the pounding on the door and then the passengers. he knew what he was doing. he could hear them. >> you couldnt do that without being mentally removed somehow. theres something about the disconnect. theres something about this disassociation with this situation with whats happening. this calm breathing. you picture that. >> thats what they coul...

Co-pilot was alone at the controls when the airbus 320 crashed, killing all 150 people on board. >> translator: we from lufthansa are speechless that the aircraft was deliberately crashed by the co-pilot. >> reporter: the recording reveals the co-pilot didnt let the captain back in the cockpit after he stepped out, presumably to use the restroom after the plane had reached cruising altitude. once alone lubitz activated the steady descent of the plane and he didnt respond to multiple efforts by a...

Takeoff up to of course, the point where it crashed, about altitude, speed, and everything else that will help investigators find out what happened during that flight. hopefully that will be recovered tomorrow. but in this case, if this is really what happened, and this is not confirmed yet, if this is really what happened, then that voice recording black box will be even more important than the flight data recording because obviously that will mean this is not a technical issue but something th...

Unlock your transunion report with the swipe of a finger. come to transunion.com. and get in the know. this is a fox news alert. mass murder, the french alps a-320 plane crash that killed 120 people is now wide-ranging criminal investigation. french prosecutors say the 27-year-old co-pilot of the german wings air bus a-320 deliberately aimed for the mountains intending to destroy the plane which means he intended to destroy passengers, kill them. innocent people he didnt know and they didnt kn...

Utilized, but if the door is placed into what is known as override, that prevuds the code from being entered at the door and it makes sure that the door in fact stays locked. now, to lesters point earlier. to get the airplane to descend into an airbus a-320, its a matter of selecting a descent note, open descent or vertical speed. in the case of vertical speed you rotate a knob and you select a given descent rate. in this case it looks like its 3,500 feet per minute and the airplane will maintai...

Switch be recording, would changes to that switch be recorded. >> thats an interesting question. on the later aircraft im sure that the answer is yes. this is an early aircraft thats obviously been retrofitted to meet the new standards after 9/11. after 9/11 there was extensive research done and new protocols developed on how to protect the cockpit, how pilots were to respond to a potential hijacking. i cant say way surance that in an older aircraft like this that these procedures, that these po...

Malfunction to a major malfunction will trigger an alarm. and once investigators actually listen to the cockpit voice recorder they will be able to tell pretty well what the specific alarm was. >> all right. if an a 320 decompresses or any plane decompresses, i take it then people lose consciousness at that point unless you put on an oxygen mask. does that necessarily mean though that when your auto pilot still be intact and when the plane continued to fly until it ran out of fuel unless there w...
