This morning on world news now, intent to destroy. Investigators say a copilot crashed a jet in the french alps on purpose. Who was he and why this investigation is so challenging.

Reporter how did she manage to call 911 on her own, and what she has to say to the shooter. It is friday march 27th. Announcer from abc news this is world news now. Good morning on this happy friday. Im ryan smith in for t. J. Holmes. Hes on assignment. He sure is. Im reena ninan. We are all wondering what happened with this crash. We didnt want the worst fears to be true that this in way could have been on purpose. The investigators say the copilot intentionally flipped the switch to bring the plane down as the locked out captain tried to break down the cockpit door. Passengers screaming moments before impact. More from abcs david kerley. Reporter the first pictures coming in from the ground. Searchers looking for remains, bagging evidence of this apparent horrible act of evil. A tragic end to what was supposed to a normal flight. A 10 00 a. M. Take off from barcelona. Everything seems normal. The cockpit voice recorder shows a friendly conversation between the copilots. Then the 27yearold copilot Andreas Lubitz is less jovial. His answers short. The jet hit cruising alt tut 38,000 feet. The captain asked the copilot to take over presumably to use the bathroom and he leaves the cockpit starting the ten minutes of terror. With the door locked it shows the changes the auto pilot sending the jetliner down to the alps. The captain feels the plane descending. He can be heard on the recording knocking on the door, no answer. He starts banging as if to break down the door. Silent from the copilot. On the audio recordingreas lubitz can be heard breathing normally. The jet dropping 3,000 feet a minute. Closing in on the mountains in plain view of the passengers. They are heard on the recording too. Screaming in the final seconds before the crash. Human remains, airlifted from the scene. Crews still searching for the other black box which will provide more details about what was happening in that cockpit. What a french prosecutor called a voluntary act to destroy the plane. An event, a scene with so many Unanswered Questions, including the most important, why . It was that normal breathing that convinced the french prosecutor and the Airline Executives that the copilot was indeed in charge of the aircraft flying it all the way down to the mountainside. David kerley abc news new york. Were learning more about the 27yearold copilot from west germany. Andreas lubitz is described by stunned friends and neighbors as happy, calm and responsible. They say it was his lifelong dream to fly. He was trained in germany and arizona before landing a job at germingen wings. The ceo of Parent Company lufthansa told reporters Andreas Lubitz was 100 fit to fly. The crash is raising questions about the cockpit door and how it was possible to keep the captain out. The doors were reinforced after 9 11 so strong they could with stand the blast of a grenade. The captain should have been able to enter by punching in a Security Code but the key pad could be temporarily disabled by inside. Some say cameras in the cockpit would have offered a clearer picture after the crash. We have to stop the business of guessing what happened by voice tape. The old archaic objections by pilots that it is invading our privacy is nonsense at this point. A Security Policy is already in place in the u. S. Requiring two people in the cockpit at all times. Stay with abc news as new developments come in from investigators. We will take you to the french alps for the latest in our next half hour. This morning the investigation in of a powerful blast at an Apartment Building in lower manhattan. This Surveillance Video across the street shows the moment of the explosion. 19 people were injured, seven critically. This morning a young man is still missing. Just boom. The first few minutes the only sound was the fire alarms. And the screams of victims and those trying to help. People were panicking like nobody knew what was going on. Reporter the search for victims became a search for a cause. The initial impact appears to have been caused by plumbing and gas work that was occurring inside 121 Second Avenue. Reporter city officials zeroing in on a project involving the gas servi to the century old building. Part of this project to hook up pipes to a larger coned gas line and coned was on site an hour before the blast to inspect some of the plumbing work. Work that failed their inspection. As i understand it very preliminarily gas was introduced to the head of service just inside the wall of the building and it was locked with our lock. That means the new line was not yet active but the old line was still feeding gas. Coned and fire martials are trying to piece together what the plumbers were doing seconds before Second Avenue shook. Hours after firefighters managed to knock down the flames they finally knocked down what is left of the buildings too. A two to three story pile of wood and bricks and peoples charred belongings. Countless people lived in those buildings. A local hotel offered to put them up as they try to get back on their eat. The investigation in to this catastrophe continues.
