That has to be unnerving, to say the least. >> absolutely. its almost like it becomes sport with some of these hobbyists, and they are clearly violating the law, which is you cant fly above 400 feet. it seems like theyre looking to engage in aircrafts, especially since you see all of this around airports like jfk. its potentially lethal. the regulations are there. they really need to be enforced. and the criminality aspect of it really needs to be enforced. >> and penalties, right, even if it is...

What have they done? >> everybody deals with a tragedy like this differently, as you can imagine. some have not wanted to do anything for the sole purpose of holding on to the belief that theyre still going to find their loved ones. but the reality is as we come to the two-year anniversary, that you do have to prepare if you want to maintain your legal rights and part of that is getting a death certificate. part of that is coming to the realization that you need to get one, because your loved on...

I want you to take note of all the red at the zero level. you see here? because that is how often and how long lubitz according to this report set the plane to drop toward 100 feet. the same auto pilot setting flight 9525 was at when it collided in the french alps. the report said lubitz did these dry runs over a period of five minutes when the pilot had apparently left the cockpit briefly and after air traffic control had directed the plane to go to a lower altitude. with me now, aviation attor...

But it was a very driven calculated move. >> and apparently it was the same crew i think, that was on the previous flight in that doomed flight. final question to you with your legal hat on. would any of this new information change the case at all? >> not significantly. i think two things you take away one is it emphasizes you need two people in a cockpit at all times. two, this was not a one-off. it wasnt he showed up for work and said im having a bad day, im going to drop this plane. theres a ...

They had already given him an order to descend. what they had no way of knowing, because planes right now, why they can be capable of doing it if they subscribe to the airlines subscribe to the service, while they can be capable of streaming data to the ground, they do not do that. of course the flight data recorder is not downloaded unless theres a crash. while he was practicing, since he was supposed to be descending and he did it gradual enough the pilot apparently didnt notice either because...

Last time and forgot to put it back to the altitude that he wanted to. really nothing. >> thats it. >> right. >> if you plug that in for a descent to 100 feet what would he be -- how would the plane respond? let me just stay with you, daniel. how would the plane respond if he had gotten the command from the ground to start the descent? i suppose then if you place 100 feet many for altitude would it begin to descend as well? would anyone feel that? >> no -- well it depends on the exact mode. gene...

The eye doctor diagnosed him with psychosomatic disorder. officials say its increasingly clear he was very a afraid that he was going to lose his pilot license because of his medical issues. thats one of the main theories that investigators are exploring now. >> pamela brown, thank you very much. lets talk through these developments now with dr. randy, aviation medical specialist and examiner with the faa and therapist with psychotherapist. daniel rose aviation attorney and pilot. and also analy...

Air physician and psychologist must report a pilot if they believe that pilot is at risk to the public. the larger debate is at what extent does privacy trump public safety? thats what this case is going to bring to sharp focus. >> i think to daniels point, a lot of this is going to be looked into sadly after 150 people have been killed. less what about the second black box. i hear you say its the what on the data recorder and why on the cockpit voice recorder. we know a lot of why. what will be...

Daniel rose is an attorney who represents families affected by aviation disasters. he joins me again here in new york. you have a unique perspective because you have to deal with and help these families. what are they going through right now in these first hours? >> well in the first hours its as you can imagine, shock and disbelief and denial. >> right. >> all the various stages you go through. but the overarching concern for them is getting answers. i mean and hopefully positive ones about the...

Flows from what happened and thats the main question thats on everybodys mind and will be for some time until you get certain answers, but from the answer to that question, what happened flows certain legal rights and the conversation naturally really follows a certain path based on what we learn factually was about was it the aircraft was it the pilot, was it air traffic control? something like that. and, you know, this is a situation that generally no family has ever been in or contemplated be...
