New clues this morning about the deliberate crash of Germanwings Flight 9525. German investigators have evidence Andreas Lubitz hid an illness from the airline. The copilot had a history of depression. In another stunning turn a doctor actually had given lubitz a sick note excusing him from work tuesday. Instead he flew that plane into a mountain killing 150 people. Alan pizzi is in the coallen pizzey is with us. Reporter good morning. According to the dusseldorf prosecutor prosecutors office, torn up sick notes were found indicating he not fit to work. He concealed them from his employers as far as is known and its not known whether the notes indicate the a physical or mental condition only it represented right down to the date he took the fatal flight. Significantly, prosecutors did not find a suicide note nor any indication he had religious or political motivation for what he did. Attention is being focused on reports at one period during his training lubitz was treated for severe depression but as far as his employers knew nothing was wrong to affect his work or progress in Flight Training according to ceo karsten spore. He had not only fulfilled all medical tests also all Flight Trainings he said. 100 air worthy without any restrictions. To all who knew him, he was an active young man liked to jog, spent time on facebook and other social media including chat rooms. His passion for flying began at this flight club. I only got to know Andreas Lubitz as a nice friendly and open human being, he says. Lubitz began his airline Flight Training in 2008. He spend five months at lufthansas Flight Training sender in arizona in 2010 and certified to fly in the u. S. Lubitz reportedly took a sixmonth break from Flight Training in 2009 because, according to several reports here quoting former classmates, he felt burned out. Vlad . Thanks. Frances Prime Minister this morning called on germanwings to reveal everything it knows about lubitz. French recovery crews bizzen 0 the mountainside where the airbus 320 crashed. This flight was traveling from barcelona spain to dusseldorf germany when it went down. Near the crash site in seynelesalpes, our correspondent. Reporter good morning. Windy but brilliant sunshine definitely will help the recovery effort. Its still in initial stages. It will take weeks to complete. The search team is once again on the mountainside some in climbing gear, because the slope is so steep. The red flags mark human remains. But the team is collecting everything, crucial evidence not only for the airlines accident investigation, but for the criminal inquiry, which at moment a still treated as manslaughter manslaughter. The second black box, which would have recorded all fly commands from the cockpit still hasnt been found. The familieses many victims gathered for a small ceremony. The flag of each country on display. Among the victims, three americans a mother and daughter yvonne and emily selke on vacation together and robert oliver, a u. S. Citizen and a father who was living and working in spain. In barcelona this morning, olivers own father said he preferred to think of 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 those 37 years that weve been together. Reporter still shocked and grieving, all of the families are now struggling to accept that the catastrophe that killed their loved ones is looking like an act of mass murder. Based on this strong circle evidence that the copilot really did crash the plane deliberately when the pilot had left the cabin, some European Airlines have already changed their procedure to mirror what happens in the states and that is when a pilot or a copilot leaves the cockpit for any reason another crew member goes inside so theres never only one person in there at any given time. Norah . Significant change already. Thank you, Elizabeth Palmer in the french alps. Ken maxwell, former Vice President of copt security for Jetblue Airlines and a former fbi agent who investigated twa flight 800 and egypt air flight 990. Its believed that that egyptian jet was deliberately brought down by the copilot. Ken, good morning. Good morning, norah. A lot to talk about here. First, officials in germany say theyve made a significant discovery in the home of this copilot. What are authorities looking for now . Well theyre looking for everything. Theyre peeling back that onion, per perverbally perverbally, to understand his entire life, his medical records, physical Health Mental stability, any history of medication they might find in the house. Documentary evidence. Digital evidence. You name it theyre looking for every possible clue that would unravel this mystery. It seems so ironic ken, to me, that the system set up in place after 9 11 to keep the bad guy out of the cockpit, has now turned out very tragically and the bad guy was in fact in the cockpit. You still think this is a good system. Do you not . Yes, i do. Keep in mind the modus operandi of 9 11 and the needs to protect that cockpit at all costs. Ironically, there is some irony here but the procedure that is used in the United States, which is very has been very useful and successful in having that second person up front when a pilot or copilot leaves not only with respect to security an extra measure, but with respect to safety should that pilot or copilot become incapacitated, stroke, heart attack whatever the case may be have a human being up there to sound the alarm. Mitigating. 100 fool 3proof, no but a mitigating effort. And the pilot also crashed into the sea, what are similarities with that flight and this one . Certainly, at the fbi conducted a parallel investigation with ntsb on that case the cockpit voice recorder was key in determining the probable cause of that tragedy. Very similar. Do you worry about copycats here . Not necessarily. Its important for the flying public to understand the overwhelming majority of pilots are professional people who do their job well every day to make people safe. Not necessarily a copycat. I think, its being done obviously, not only airlines but governmental authorities, both u. S. And foreign, have to take another look at the procedures regarding Mental Health and updating annual physicals. What additional measures can be taken as we learn everything from these tragedies. We do take away a lot of important facts that we can have effective change and thats one of the issues that certainly policies regarding the physical requirements and the health requirements. Ken maxwell, thank you. Well take a closer look at the Screening Program for pilots in the United States. If it protects the flying public. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Now to charlies new interview with syrian president Bashar Al Assad for sundays 60 minutes. Assad granted rare access a year and a half after their last conversation as syria enters the fifth year of its civil war. Theyre meeting thursday in damascus, it came amid reports of a new chlorine gas attack in a town where six people may have been killed from the poison earlier this month. But assad pushed back against claims that his regime is using chlorine gas. The interview was shot by syrian tv at request of assads people citing security reasons, however nothing was off limits in this interview when it came to charlies questions. 90 of the civilian casualties, 90 , come from the syrian army. How did you get that result . That was a report that was issued in the last six months. Okay. As i said earlier, the war is not about its not traditional war. Its not about captures land and gaining land. Its about winning the hearts and minds of the civilians. We cannot win the hearts and minds of the syrians while killing syrians. We cannot sustain four years in that position as a government and me as president while the rest of the world, most of the world, the great pow regional powers are against me and my people are against me. Thats impossible. I mean this logic has no leg to stand on. So this is not realistic and this is against our interests of government, to kill the people. What do we get . Whats the benefit of killing the people . The argument is that you weapons of war have been used that most people look down on with great one is chlorine gas. They believe it has been used here. They say there is evidence of that and they would like to have the trite inspect to see where its coming from. As you know barrel bombs have been used and they come from helicopters, and the only people who have helicopters is the syrian army. So those two acts of war which is, society looks down on as let me fully answer this. Barbaric acts. Part of the propaganda, again. It is not military gas t. Can be weaponized. No. Its not very effective. Not used as military gas. Thats based on evidence. Traditional arms is more important than chlorine. If it was very effective, the the terrorists would have used it on a larger scale. Because its not effective, its not used very much. Why not let somebody come in and inspect to see if its been used or not . We happy for that . Of course. The delegation in part delegation come investigation. Logically, realistically it cannot be used in military. Part of propaganda. You know in the media, when it bleeds it bleeds and they look for something, chlorine gas. Assad also told charlie he is open to a dialogue with the u. S. But isnt hearing anything from washington.
