that was in 1985. ronald reagan was president. lady gaga wasn t born yet. in 2002 experts testified that hinton s gun did not match the evidence in either of the killing and yet still it took 13 years for the state to figure out how to drop the charges and let him out. thanks for watching, everyone. brianna keilar will take it from here. hi, there. i m brianna keilar in for wolf blitzer. 1:00 p.m. here in washington. 7:00 p.m. in dufld. dusseldorf. 8:00 p.m. in sanaa. and 8:30 in tehran. thanks for joining us. the flight data recorder found yesterday from that downed germanwings aircraft has already yielded more information about how the plane crashed. co-pilot andreas lubitz actually increased the plane s speed after setting the autopilot to 100 feet. the recorder also showed that lubitz increased the speed many
job of keeping students safe. i want to give a hand to aur audience. thank you for being with us we ll see you here soon thanks for joining us. the o reilly factor is on tonight. one thing i ve learned both at the cia and secretary of defense, is that the iranians can t be trusted. even leon panetta, president obama s former defense secretary, says we can t trust iran over nuclear negotiations all while the middle east spirals further into chaos. general wesley clark will be here with reaction. the fact that torn up sick notes encompassing recent days support the preliminary assessment that the deceased hid his illness were his employer and colleagues. the co pilot of the doomed germanwings aircraft had reportedly been treated for severe depression. how easy is it for people to
trying to understand what the particular noises were. could it be a power up we simply don t know. what we do know and what mikey kay has very credibly reviewed is a that this aircraft didn t offer any distress signals and descended in a controlled fashion. between 38 and 42,000 feet the pilots have only a few seconds to don their oxygen masks if there s an explosive decompression, for example. did that happen? could that have happened? that is one possible scenario. we don t want to suffer from investigative bias another possible scenario is a terror or criminal act. there have been approximately 18 a-320s accidents since the inserpgs of the aircraft. we want to make sure we re
