bounds of his constitutional authority. it s contributed to this whole atmosphere of not being able to work together. you might want to stick around for my off-the-record comment tonight. that s a great tease for it anyway, panel, thank you. this is a fox news alert. three americans on that doomed jet that crashed into the french alps. 150 people were killed when the german wings ayer bus a 320 inexplicably dissended for 8 minutes and then crashed. looking for the black boxes for answers. catherine field joins us live from france. catherine, have they told anyone or announced what s on those black boxes, at least the one that they have recovered the voice recorder? yes, indeed. a couple of hours ago a debriefing at the paris headquarters of the air crash investigators. they said that they have been able to get an audio recording off that they said that they can hear sounds. they can hear alarms. they can hear voices. that was all they told us,
absolutely devastated including one american family. french investigators saying right now they do not have the slightest explanation for this crash as catherine said. of course, they are hoping to find those clues in the black box of the a 320. very common plane. many u.s. airlines fly them. right now at least 464 air bus air a 320s are being operated by u.s. carriers. pilot leon grey flies air bus 320. he joins us. good evening, leon. good evening greta. possible explanations. one is terrorism. i will get to that second is it was somehow decompression and people lost consciousness. is that the other choice, main choice. i heard that theory myself. i think it s too early to speculate on what could have caused it. but once we hear the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. i think wee will have a much better handle on the moments leading up to the incident. okay. a 320. you heard catherine say that there are alarms going off. what kind of alarms go off in a cockpi
this is a fox news alert. new information on the french alps plane crash. the new york times reporting one pilot left the cockpit before the crash of the german wings air bus and the pilot was unable to return. grn catherine field joins us from france. catherine that s rather stunning news now we have one pilot in the cockpit alone. yes, it is quite stunning. and really just another piece of this very large jigsaw which they are trying to put together here today has gone on, the question has been asked about what was really going on in the cockpit? what were the pilots doing? were they talking to one another? and there has always been the big question mark was why was there no distress signal? when they spoke to the control tower at 9:30 on
disintegrated on impact. very deep dissent. it wasn t a stall that would send it plummeting down. you have this strange situation of one pilot not being able to we have no screaming or conversation or anything right? alarms and voices all we were told by investigators here in paris, greta. thank you catherine. those alarms will be indication on these planes if you get too close to a mountain you will have alarms the plane is going to send if the terrain comes up too fast. catherine, thank you very much. thank you. and straight ahead, mystery deepens a physical therapist reportedly kidnapped and suddenly turns (under loud music) this is the place. their beard salve is made from sustainable tea tree oil and kale. you, my friend, recognize when a trend has reached critical mass. yes, when others focus on one thing
that they heard voices on the tape. catherine did they say though, having listened to the audiotapes, which they won t tell us about the content for whatever reason did they say that they conclude that it was not terrorism in that cockpit or are they violent on that issue? no. what everyone is saying is that terrorism is not the main avenue, but that there are many themes and no theme has been discounted. what they are saying is that this was a long steep dissent. they said it was steady enough for them to believe that the plane was still actually being flown. what they also said was that it was in control by the pilot. but he found it difficult to understand why a pilot would send an aircraft into a mountain. so they are not ruling out terrorism, but they are not ruling it in at this stage. catherine, thank you very much. thank you. and today as families
