the way today, collecting the passenger s property and returned to the family. there s a lot of explaining to do as to how this came into the hands of whoever has it. miles, this brings up a good point, a bit of a conundrum for we in the media. there s finger pointing about leaks in this investigation. who leaked the cell phone video, if it s authentic, who has been leaking stories about the cockpit voice recorder to various outlets here. in your opinion, has this investigation been handled in a fairly tight, organized way, or is this a bit of a mess? well, you know, you re never going to get me to say a leak is a bad thing. i m a journalist, i like leaks. frankly, i feel like investigations like this move a lot slower than the appetite for information these days. we live in a 24-hour news cycle. you know, we still haven t seen a cockpit voice recording from the airasia crash.
dismayed at the fact the cockpit voice recording was put out. this will probably lead to very similar reactions as well. the big question of course is who is leaking all of this. it must come from somewhere within the investigating team. there is no one else who has access to the crash site at this point in time. again, it also is quite remarkable that the s.i.m. cards would have actually survived and therefore it seems as though perhaps aside from the flight data recorder that s still being looked at, there might also be other documents still out there that investigators are looking at. and again, these are this is video from inside of the plane in the final moments of germanwings 9525 that are being described but are not, certainly not at least yet, out there publicly. all right. thanks so much to both of you. we ll have more coverage of the crash, the germanwings 9525 crash, ahead. but next we re going to talk about a familiar face around

in chaos. we are live with the latest developments. good morning. happy monday. welcome to early start. i m john berman. i don t know about the happy part. i m christine romans. we are learning more about the last minutes of flight 9525. they come from the summary transcript of the cockpit voice recording from the german newspaper bild. most terrifying is the description of captain sonderheimer s efforts to get back into the cockpit and banging on the door and screaming for god sake open the door. for more, we have senior correspondent frederik pleitgen. it is chilling what this captain tried to do to get back into the
about the co-pilot of germanwings flight 9525. andreas lubitz is believed to have deliberately crashed the airliner. the parisse innewspaper says he was treated for severe depression and a generalized anxiety disorder. the paper also says he received injections of anti-psychotic head cation back in 2010. now it s important to note that cnn has not been able to confirm these reports, but they came as another paper released a timeline of the flight s last harrowing minutes. will ripley has more on that. reporter: if what the german tabloid is reporting is indeed accurate, and had is what transpired, what can be heard in the cockpit voice recording that was leaked to that newspaper, it is truly horrific for the families of everybody who was on
