there s another override that goes beyond five minutes. i can override the key pad and hold in the locked position. he cannot use the key pad or get in. to keep your co-pilot out, what do you have to do? if he knew the keyboard pad to get in i hold the lock. he cannot get in. can you manually fly this and hold the lock button? yes, easy. that s a purposeful act? very much so. again and again we fly through the scenarios in auto pilot and manuel. both managed to crash the plane. both had to be deliberately programmed or flown into the ground. what does that suggest to you as his determination? he was very determined. that was his goal. he had a mission or goal to kill himself and everybody on board. we deal with terrorists and people that aren t supposed to be in the cockpit. this person is supposed to be in the cockpit. that s scary.
door is open. if i release it it goes back to normal position. norm means it s locked. norm is locked. reporter: according an airbus operations video there s a key pad entry on the outside that allows entry if you know the code. if the person inside the cockpit switches it to lock, the key pad won t work for five minutes. there s another override that goes beyond five minutes. i can also override the key pad and hold it in the lock position and now he cannot use the key pad or enter the door at all. it s locked. no one can get in? no one can get in. to keep your co high lot out, what do you do? i just hold the lock. he cannot get in. can you manually fly this and hold the lock button? easy. that s a very purposeful act? very much so. pull up. again and again we through
happened. this is the override panel outside the cockpit to get in. this is the lock panel to lock the door from the inside. we know now something happened here. we don t know if the override was attempted. that s one thing we don t know. we also don t know the lock button was pushed. but we have to assume something happened because that s what the airline said. walk us through this, david. this is important. why does the five minutes matter? what happens here if the copilot they re saying the copilot intentionally did the lock. no matter what the pilot did, there s no door handle, no way to get in. he notifies the guy, i ve got to get in. if the copilot decides he doesn t want him in, he clicks that down and has five inus of solitude, no one is going to come in at all. it s impossible. after that, how does the 30 seconds play in? how that works, if he wants to get in, he hits the button
either do nothing, in which case the door will open in 30 seconds, if they were unconscious or incapacitated, but they also have the ability to push that button to lock. if during the override procedure they push the button to lock, then nobody can get in for five minutes. effectively the override stops and you can t enter. what we heard today from the ceo of lufthansa, and it is significant, john, he said he doesn t know, firstly, if the override procedure was attempted by the captain on the outside or did he just bang on the door. and secondly, we don t know whether or not lubitz inside actually pushed the lock button. we do not know. he was quite clear about that. what we have here is a situation where the door was closed and we don t know the efforts that was made other than banging on the
walking through a department store and being trailed or car doors locking when he crossed the street, that s not legislatable, is it? this is kind of, i think, what some people hope is that demographics and a changing america will do more to change the profiling mindset than any kind of law? the president said that was him 35 years ago. that s me on a daily basis, especially when i m home in new orleans and i m dressed down, it s something that black men still go through to this day, which is women clutching their purses, hitting the lock button on the door, or just basic attitudes. and even as a u.s. congressman, as a black man, it is very, very frustratin frustrating, and you build up an internal anger about it that you can t act on. so i sympathize with trayvon walking home, minding his own business, and then all of a sudden out of the blue you have someone there and then this incident occurs. i just want to say i think ben said it the best that i ever
