Milder temperatures in store with rain expected in the northwest and thunderstorms in the southern plains. The search for answers, next. Osgood investigation into the crash of the german airliner in the french alps continues. Elizabeth palmer has our sunday journal. The first news of the germanwings wreckage showed the plane smashed to pieces on the rocky slopes. Frances president announced almost immediately there would be no survivors. There were no survivors but there was a big mystery. Germanwings flight 9525 crashed just below that high peak behind me. It was airbus 320 a work horse of a plane that had a great Safety Record and had flown this route many times. Just as it reached cruising altitude about half way to its journey from barcelona the airbus began a steep descent. Eight minutes later it slammed into the ground. Among the 144 passengers were 16 german students on a school trip. And three americans. Yvonne selke and her daughter emily on vacation together. And Robert Oliver calvo a businessman who lived in spain. Calvos father said his family was coping by remembering a life lived, not lost. Instead of focusing our minds and hearts on that last those last nine or ten minutes we prefer to think about the 37 years that weve been together. But those fateful nine or ten minutes were very much the focus of the french forensic specialists who combed through the debris and within hours found the cockpit voice recorder. Its content shocked the world. Suggest that the 27yearold Andras Lubitz was left alone in the cockpit when the pilot took a bathroom break. He locked the pilot out set the plane on a crash course. The victims probably didnt realize what was happening until the very end said the french prosecutor. Because only hear screams in the final moments. The silence that followed will haunt their victims families forever. Some traveled to france for a Memorial Ceremony near the crash site. While in germany, where Andreas Lubitz lived police found doctors notes suggested he was ill and shouldnt have been at work. Friends said he suffered from depression. The crash has aviation agencies looking at their policies on flight crews and mental illness. But we may never know what made a young man who loved flying and competitive running decide not only to commit suicide on a remote Mountain Side but mass murder, too. By taking 149 other people with him. Ive been intimidated, yes. Osgood coming up curious case of brian grazer. And later sinatra. He did it his way. I did it my way i take good care of myself and i love what i see when i look in the mirror. Ive often been told im the best pair of legs in the room. The so slimming collection only at chicos and chicos. Com. Osgood just curious talks about his eclectic search, scott simon of National Public radio who begins by expressing a little curiosity of his own. I say this with respect. What the hell does a producer do . A producer is supposed to generate an idea for a movie. And then theyre supposed to create the team greet group of people who are going to make this movie. Within that team the producer has to have a Creative Vision and a fiscal vision. And they have to adhere to both things. Thats the most coherent answer ive ever heard. Thank you. And brian grazer produces. Grazer has made movies about astronauts trapped in space. Houston, we have a problem. Geniuses with troubled minds. And scholars who crack ancient codes. The films hes made have won oscars dazzled audiences and earned more than 13 billion. Hes produced Television Shows including 24, arrested development and this years break out hit empire. Through it all ron howard has been grazers friend and business partner. It is kind of an odd couple relationship in a way. A relationship thats outlasted most hollywood marriages. Including all three of grazers. Its probably because weve never really taken it for granted. Never said this is it for all time. They met in the early 1980s. Grazer was an aspiring producer, howard a sitcom icon who wanted to direct. We made two movies in a row night shift and splash that were brians ideas that were creatively fun exciting, they were successful. Whats your name . Its hard to say in english. How many nos did flash get . Flash got seven, eight hundred nos. Because they didnt want to do a mermaid movie. That mermaid movie played a splash. Stars of tom hanks and daryl hannah. And brian grazer a surprise success. Grazer had trouble reading as a boy. But his grandmother sonya didnt just see the ds and fs on his report card. She identified my strength which was to ask dig inside of subjects, dig inside of people. She told me that that would have a great value in my life. And it did. Grandma sonya encouraged his curious mind. I think that we all absolutely have curiosity. It brings about knowledge. Its energizing. Its spiritually empowering. It makes us more interesting as people. Which is why for 30 years now, brian grazer has written notes to famous strangers to ask them to have what he calls a curiosity conversation. Hes talked to scientists politicians, artists and entrepreneurs, jonas salk oprah winfrey, steve jobs. His new book a curious mind published by cbss simon and shoeser is less about the famous films hes made than conversations he sought. Why did you write this book and not a memoir . I think writing a memoir in some way suggests that you figured out life. And i definitely didnt figure out life. But i thought the process of curiosity was really worth writing about. These conversations grazer arranges cant be scripted like a movie. I remember i used to ask andy war hole why with you painting campbells soup cans . Do they look beautiful to you . He goes, i like them. Never answered any questions. Dr. Edward teller agreed to talk to him even though the father of the Hydrogen Bomb told him he hadnt seen the movie since dumb bow. Are you ever intimidated by anybody . Thats a good question. Ive been intimidated, yes. Ive been intimidated. By . The first one that comes to mind is george w. Bush. I was little intimidated. Not every conversation has a hollywood ending. Grazer flew across the country to talk to isaac as move the Science Fiction writer hand his wife. They ordered two ginger ales. By the time they hit their lips they were saying were leaving. How could you leave . Well, we can see you dont know enough about robotics or the subjects that live inside Science Fiction. Were they right . I thought they were. I dont think i knew enough about his work. In 2001 grazer and a few friends visited cuba and had a conversation with fidel castro. He just speaks kind of nonstop about without a breath. When did he take his first breath after about three and a half hours he said, how do you do your hair . Over the years grazers electroshock of hair has become like castros cigar a personal signature. So we were curious. Why the hair . Why the hair . About 18 years ago i jumped out of a Swimming Pool with my daughter and i popped my hair up and my daughter goes, oh, my, god, thats so cool. I wouldnt know who i would be if any do my hair like this. He learns from his conversations may wind up in a film. But not directly. Grazer talked to jim lovell the commander of apollo 13. But it was his conversation with a chilean activist named Veronica De Negri who had been tortured. Who made the story of survival in space come alive. We all knew before seeing that movie that they make it back. But its how they make it back, how they reached inside of their own soul to find resources that they never thought existed was sort of the same thing that veronica did when she was tortured in chile i met her probably 10, 12 years before that. So you often dont know how these little dots get connected when youre on this journey of curiosity. Ron howard came along on a few curiosity conversations, but just out of curiosity. These conversations are never about earning favors or, you know, or asking for any kind of business advantage. Its really an honest conversation. Brian grazers santa monica home is airy, sleek and tastefully plush. But he keeps a touch of boyhood in the back yard. I do love the swing. You want to sit in it . The swing, symbolic value. Completely connects to insurance and childhood and safety. You can do this every night. This is an opportunity for me. The swing looks like the gateway to a curious mind. Thank you. I love that. Thank you very much. What are these . Fingers. Osgood ahead. We kid you not. 80 of the poor in africa are rural farmers. 96 of them are doing rainfed agriculture. Theyre all competing with each other; theyre all making very low margins making enough to survive but not enough to get out of poverty. So kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. Its all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, were not going to solve their biggest challenge. This is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. When we talk to the farmers and ask them whats the most important thing. First of all they say we can feed our families. Secondly, we can send our children to school. Its really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want. For a love that can endure any fashion trend, dukes family only feeds him iams with two times the meat than other leading brands it helps keep him strong from tiara to toenail just one of many iams formulas to keep love strong. Ive smoked a lot and quit a lot, but ended up nowhere. Now i use this. The nicoderm cq patch, with unique extended release Technology Helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. I want this time to be my last time. Thats why i choose nicoderm cq. Ladies and gentlemen, jack paar. Osgood now a page from our sunday morning almanac, march 29 1962. 53 years ago this day. End of late night tv era. That was the night jack paar retired as the host ever the tonight show on nbc. Paar had become the host in 1957 and had quickly reshaped it in his own unique image. May i ask you too naive a tough question right off the back . Osgood he talked to guests like john f. Kennedy and richard nixon. He welcomed countless celebrities including zsa zsa gabor, salvador dali. His trademark vow of truthful storytelling became a catch phrase. It happened to me, i kid you not. There was no kidding around in february of 1960 when nbc edited a relatively inoffensive bathroom joke out of paars pretaped show. There must be a better way of making a living than this. Osgood jack paars walk out triggered a media sensation. And an eventual apology by the top nbc brass. Heres jack osgood three weeks later paar turned to a standing villanova vision from the studio audience. I was saying before i was ripped before i was interrupted. I believe my last words were there must be a better way of making a living than this. We ll, i have looked. [ laughter ] and there isnt. Osgood two years later jack paar retired from the tonight show for good. He did go on to host a weekly prime time show for a time he never regained the heights. He died in 2004 at the age of 85. But in many ways late night tv hosts of our own time still perform in his shadow. What are these . Fingers. Fingers yes. [laughter] osgood next. Did you ever say why me . I never cried during chemotherapy or raid occasion. A young artist with an inner visit vision. You got to wonder looking at these paintings their vibrant colors and deep textures. How does this artist see the world . Truth is, he really cant. 21yearold jeff hanson is legally blind. He also has a few other physical and mental challenges but that hasnt stopped him or apparently even slowed him down. I have done 1400 paintings to date. How do you keep track . My mom. My mom keeps track for me. Mom is julie hanson. Shes helped turn the basement of their kansas city home into a rainbow splattered assembly line. The man in the pink covered surgical scrubs is dad dr. Al hanson head of the e. R. At a local hospital. This is better. Sometimes dad helps load up the putty knife, jeff does the rest. Its a family business. And something no one here ever thought would happen. When hal and julie hanson were married, in 199 they were blessed with a healthy baby who grew into a healthy kid. Jeffrey where are you going . All seemed well until little jeff started bumping into things. He couldnt see that there was a curb or stairway. We fall down it. We realized hes not seeing a lot. Their only child had a genetic disorder called neurofirbomotosis. The diseased caused a brain tumor that was stunting his growth and shelly robbing him of his sight. One night i particularly remember. Hal loves astronomy. He wanted to show the child his stars and teach him. Stepped away from the telescope he looked up said, do you see stars when you look up with your eyes . And i said, yes. Millions of stars. He said, i dont see any. He rilelized his sky doesnt have any stars. No stars. And not much fun. As doctors fought to shrink his tumor and save what little vision he had left. Did you ever get down . Did you ever say why me . I never cried during chemotherapy or radiation. Just smiled your way through . Exactly. Of i definitely smiled. To distract jeff during chemo julie would have him use water colors to decorate little note cards. As he painted s him clicked. To me it was nothing more than kid hard. I didnt see any genius to it. It would be something that you would put on the refrigerator with a magnet and forget it in couple of days it would make it to the crash can. Luckily it turns out julie couldnt bring her level to slow them away. I started using his notes for thank you notes. As i started to do that my friends would say, do you have any extras, id love some of those. Jeff started telling them. And a business was born. Because jeff can barely see what hes working on his process is unique. First, he slather a kind of plastic goop on convas, front and sides. After it hardens, and gets a coat of flat black jeff uses those ridges to feel his way around his as he works. How much can you see of this color . Not much. Is that part of why people help you just to help sort out and just makes it more fun. Its more fun to paint with a partner. Much more fun. Now he cant keep up with demand. He has at least sixmonth backlog of order and pretty prominent fans. Warren buffet has a painting elton john has two. A jeff hanson original goes for around 4,000. We havent been involved in this financially at all. After expenses, jeff makes around 50,000 a year. Hes in it for the money just not for himself. It seems every painting that jeff sells he donates another. For jeff the real goal isnt making a fortune its raising a fortune. And giving it away. All right, ladies and gentlemen, on this priceless piece how much . We need 6,000 more. At charity you can shuns, his paintings sell for 20,000 or more. A couple of years ago he made a vow to raise and donate a Million Dollars by age 20. He made it. And with time to spare. Everybody ought to be on their feet ive got 20,000 i have sold it to the Million Dollar mark. God bless you, jeff. Jeff hanson may never see the stars in the sky. His father gave up on that dream a long time ago. You cant see stars with tears in your eyes. And it made me cry. So, we move o
