"hannity" starts right here, right now. and this a fox news alert 150 people lost their lives on tuesday after jergermanwings flight number 9525 was intentionally crashed in the french alps in what many are calling a malicious tragic act of mass murder. joining us from the scene fox news correspondent amy kellogg. what's the latest. >> reporter: -- from the crash scene here in the french alps.
10:02 pm
this story has turned into not how did the plane crash, but why. the prosecutor was very clear, sean. he said that the pilot had a reason for moving that button, the button that turns the plane into descent mode, landing mode if you will. he said it's not clear why he did that but we know the reason was ultimately to destroy the plane. now, we're trying to find out more about the co-pilot, andreas lubitz. there are contradictions in the stories that have been coming out so far that he loved his job. but a friend's mother says he took a rather long time-out in the midst of his training because he either burned out or some reports even say had a blackout. authorities have said he had no known links to terrorism. now, as far as investigators know and believe he killed 149 people, caused all their families immeasurable grief and has left hundreds of french mountain police with the painful task of collecting body parts and personal effects in fairly treacherous conditions all must
10:03 pm
be brought down by helicopter, identified. this will take weeks. the families of the victims, 40 families, came here today some by bus because they were too scared to fly. they were separated -- the passengers families were separated from the pilot's families after it became clear that the co-pilot caused this crash. they will be returning very soon sean. they will be returning clearly without their loved ones. as i said this process will take a long time. people here in this region, hikers and shepherds say while the international press will leave here soon they will be living for the rest of their lives with a very, very sad story, a human cemetery up in these hills. sean. >> amy thank you so much. and while french prosecutors believe that german wings flight 9525 was intentionally crashed into the side of the mountain by its co-pilot a motive for his actions is still unknown. so who was andreas lubitz? and what was his motivations? and how did he manage to
10:04 pm
literally force this giant aircraft that he was co-piloting to the ground. fox news correspondent john huddy is in london with some background. john. >> reporter: yeah, sean, that is the most pressing question at this point is why did he do what he did? why did he deliberately crash this plane into the mountainside at an estimated 500 miles per hour. now, amy touched on some of this. i'm going to elaborate a little bit more. what we know about andreas lubitz is that he's a german citizen. and he started his flight training in 2008. but he halted it put it on pause in 2009 for six months. it's unclear why. again, as amy was talking about there were reports maybe he was burnt out depressed. that's not confirmed. airline officials didn't confirm anything like that. they didn't go into any detail. but they said when he came back after that six-month break he went through psychological testing. he was deemed fit to continue with the training. and then he actually started flying in 2013.
10:05 pm
so he was new at it. he had about 630 hours of flight time behind the controls of the air bus 320. let's fast forward to the timeline before the crash. the cockpit recorder, sean paints a very eerie picture. we know that during the pre-flight prep and as the aircraft was climbing there was normal conversation between lubitz and the captain amiable conversation. the captain went out to go to the bathroom, he was apparently locked out. at first he started knocking loudly but at that point it became clear he was locked out. during that time by the way lubitz, the co-pilot was breathing normally. clearly no sign of anybody in distress. again, air traffic controllers
10:06 pm
tried to reach him. he would not respond. the captain then frantically started hitting the door, pounding the door, what sounded like trying to kick in the door. again, he couldn't get in. and according to the cockpit recorder and what investigators say they heard, people, passengers screaming, terrified passengers screaming in the background. at that point the plane descends rapidly. and as i said slams into the mountainside at 500 miles per hour. now, investigators have been searching the home that he lived in with his parents outside of frankfurt and also the flat that lubitz owned or stayed in in dusseldorf germany. and, sean, there are reports coming out of the british media that police may have found something in that dusseldorf flat, but we don't know what that is. nothing's been confirmed. again, as we're waiting to find out some kind of picture is being painted about why this guy did what he did. >> john, why are they so slow with the information? in other words, he had halted his training at one point. they know the reason but they won't tell us what the reason
10:07 pm
is. you're saying they might have found something in his apartment, they won't confirm that. i know the questions were asked about any religious orientation or any groups he might have been associated with. no answers there as well. >> right. >> but yet they apparently have some of these answers. why are they not forthcoming? >> well that's a good question. i mean they're continuing obviously the investigation process. you know, possibly, you know, for the families for his family, it's a good question. i don't really have the answer to that. but obviously there are so many questions. the public wants to know, the families want to know. i'm sure his parents want to know, again why he did this. why did he crash the -- deliberately crash -- go ahead. >> do we know anything about any reports that have come out that maybe he suffered with some depression issues or any other mental health issues? do we know at all? >> no, those are just some of the reports that possibly the media and some of these papers have been getting from you know, neighbors. maybe even friends.
10:08 pm
but again, that's just to be very clear about this nothing has been confirmed. >> yeah. >> okay. so the information has been slow. but again, sean, remember we're in the early stages of this. this is going to go on for weeks if not months obviously as amy was talking about to recover the remains of the flight that could take months as well. and again just real quick, there's nothing unusual with the exception of that break sean about this guy's background. you know, there are no red flags. in fact one airline official said that his performance was without criticism leading up to this crash. >> thanks so much. we appreciate it. and we go now to the "hannity" big board where fox news correspondent and former navy fighter pilot leah gaberiel has another look. >> departed shortly after 10:00 a.m. and began on its scheduled
10:09 pm
course to dusseldorf, germany. a flight that should have lasted around 90 minutes. the air bus 320 reached cruising altitude of 38,000 feet and pilots received a call from air traffic control to maintain that altitude. just a few minutes later at 10:31 a.m. flight 9525 began to lose altitude, stopped responding to calls from air traffic control and after several minutes of a rapid unauthorized descend crashed into the french alps. while rapid was not consistent with a nose dive. rather the plane was methodically delivered into the ground with a controlled rate of descent. investigators believe such a descent must be enacted and maintained by a pilot or intentionally programmed. prosecutors in france say this in addition to audio recovered from the black box serves as a crucial piece of evidence. and they believe tuesday's crash was intentional and a malicious act. sean it's important to note that's coming from prosecutors. we haven't heard yet today from the authorities that actually
10:10 pm
investigate the plane crash. >> all right. let me ask you this as an experienced fiegtder pilot i think this is really important. you can shed some light on all this. because we're told this is a controlled descent. in other words he had to make a decision on his own once the pilot had left the cockpit to bring that plane down in that manner. so doesn't that take away -- i mean, they hear he's breathing normally, but he's not answering air traffic control. so from your experience does that sound like he made a conscious decision? is there any chance he might have passed out? >> you know, sean, there's always that chance. and there's a lot of information that we don't know in this case. he could have inadvertently put the wrong number in his barometric altitude hold and that would have caused the plane to start descending. in this type of aircraft you can put in an altitude and it will start descending. that being said he could have become unconscious after that happened. what they're saying is that he was breathing normally they're saying he did not respond to the pilot outside the cockpit banging on the door. but they're not saying if that pilot outside the door actually
10:11 pm
ever enacted the code that would have allowed him to get back inside and that the pilot inside the cockpit would have had to actually override the toggle switch to keep him out. we're not hearing any of that yet, sean. it will be interesting to hear if we to. >> why would he change the altitude? they had a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet. he wouldn't have changed that normally on his own without the pilot's permission, right? >> that doesn't seem like a normal thing to do sean. >> thank you so much. joining me now with more reaction aviation expert attorney brian claypool and attorney sal. sal a lot of this doesn't make sense. i look at the a320 and in a post-9/11 world and they have all the controls. you can actually drop a grenade and you're not going to be able to open that door. here's what i want to know do you suspect as the prosecutor does that he did this consciously? he drove this airplane into this mountain? >> i think in one way or another most of us on tuesday were thinking that. there's not too many natural
10:12 pm
ways an airplane does what this airplane did. he had to actually keep the pilot outside of the cockpit door by holding down a button that overrides the code path. and he had to reprogram the fms. >> let me explain this because there are literally three buttons, unlock normal and lock. >> correct. >> he had to literally put it in the lock position. >> in the override position to override that code. >> that pilot from trying to get in. >> that's correct. >> so that means the pilot otherwise would have been able to get in. nor do i think the co-pilot on his own would descend in what is a gradual descent right? >> certainly not that stage in the flight. they were at cruise. they were at 38000. they were expected to stay there. the next thing we know the flight management system is being reprogrammed to start to descent all the way down to the surface. >> brian do you agree with that? it seems to me that there's too many -- the plane didn't descent -- didn't make this descent on its own. obviously the co-pilot made that decision, they heard him
10:13 pm
breathing. but that doesn't prove he's conscious, right? >> well, it doesn't. but i agree though this was a deliberate act. he was breathing normally. he was making a conscious effort to stop the pilot from entering into the cockpit. so i think -- and the descent was a normal -- it was semirapid, but pretty much normal descent. >> it was a normal controlled descent, right? >> exactly. and i think that supports the proposition that this was a deliberate act. >> yeah, what do you think? >> i absolutely agree. it was a normal descent. it was a normal descent at the same air speed, a consistent air speed. look at his air speed at the top of the descent and at the bottom. you typically would speed up as you go downhill in a car. >> right. >> it didn't happen here. his air speed was 442 knots all the way through. >> so he probably switched the altitude number. he knew where he was going. >> told fms keep me at this speed so the airplane doesn't fall apart. >> unbelievable. the next question why are they so slow in giving out
10:14 pm
information? >> in europe they treat this as a criminal offense right from the get-go. in the united states we treat it as a civil offense. now that it's truly a criminal offense they're going to be slower with their information. >> and brian i know a lot of airlines norwegian airlines, canadian airlines and others have now adopted rules that we have in america that is you have to have two people in the cockpit at all times so if one of the pilots leave somebody else goes in his place, right? >> well, yeah. i think that's true. and i think one of the bigger issues i think is coming out of this tragedy, sean, is to what extent are airlines not only in the u.s. but around the world are vetting the pilots after they've been hired? because i did a bit of research on this too and there isn't a lot of federal aviation administration regulations in the u.s. for example, that regulate pilots once they've been hired. for example, are there any drug testing, is there any type of mental health checking after pilots have been hired? are there any attempts at looking at you know, issues
10:15 pm
like depression here? >> well, here's the question. should somebody that is a pilot that if in their later years they somehow suffer from depression anxiety should they be taken out of that seat? >> well, i think so. and i think a big issue here, sean, is i think airlines have to take a close look at themselves. because if you have a pilot that's putting -- and you're putting a lot of lives into that pilot's hands, i think that pilot has to relinquish a certain degree of privacy. in other words they have to be transparent about what's going on in their life. and i think airlines have to be vigilant in doing so. and i don't think we have that. >> sal, we'll give you the last word. >> i agree with that to some extent. however the pilots do go through a physical every year which does include drug tests. >> psychological testing? >> not psychological testing. that may be where we're falling short. >> in one sense they did such a good job after 9/11. they made doors nobody could get through and in this case the pilot wanted back in. appreciate it.
10:16 pm
when we come back, is it possible that the crash of germanwings flight 9525 was an act of terror? general thomas mcinerney jins us next. and saudis are in the middle of bombing yemen in other words the iran-backed rebels have now stolen american intelligence. we'll tell you the details of that, this now as talks to strike a nuclear deal with iran are continuing. and it may even happen as early as sunday. does the administration even have a clue when it comes to mideastern policy? that and much more on this busy

the fox news alert. earlier today police searched the home of andreas lubitz, the co-pilot responsible for tuesday's crash of germanwings flight 9525. earlier today french prosecutors noted that the 28-year-old german native was not on any
10:19 pm
terror watch list but can we already rule out terrorism as a cause for his actions? joining me now to respond, fox news military analyst lieutenant general thomas mcinerney and lieutenant general richard newton. do you think we can rule out terrorism? i don't think so. >> good evening, sean. i think it's still leaning towards a criminal act. i believe all evidence points towards that. we've got to wait for the investigation to play itself out. and i think we'll know more probably sooner rather than later. but my guess is that at this point it's criminal intent. >> general mcinerney i might think maybe not if in fact it had to be the co-pilot they were at a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet. he had to manually change that. and they heard him breathing. in other words, we could maybe believe he was passed out but he wouldn't have sent the plane into a controlled descent otherwise, would he? >> no. and it may be siemantics but
10:20 pm
it's terrorism either way. when you murder 149 human beings, that's terrorism. it may not be radical islam or it could be, we don't know if it's a lone wolf, but as you pointed out, sean, there are three distinct things that happened there. number one, when the pilot left the cockpit, he turned and started a descent down on his autopilot, set it at 3,000 feet. so that was a very measured movement. when the pilot tried to get back into the cockpit, he went into override again another measured movement. and then finally just before impact he has to turn the autopilot off or you'll get a fly up command if the all the pilot's on and it sees that terrain coming up. >> so it wouldn't have -- the plane itself, it's avionics would have corrected the path it was on hitting the mountain, correct? >> correct. three actions that were distinct
10:21 pm
we know were deliberate. >> do you agree with that? >> yeah i think it was a deliberate act. i think we have to back away from what actually happened to do a thorough investigation. i want to be careful here that, you know throwing the word terrorism around. i think we just have to be careful here. >> by definition i hear what jen mcinerney is saying that is 150 people lost their lives. >> hearts and prayers go out to the families, but i think we've got to be careful in terms of words we use. again use the tools we have with law enforcement -- >> the prosecutors saying this is done purposely. you want to say it's a criminal act, a terrorist act 150 people lost their lives. and i don't want to get into a semantical argument. if they are nothing to glean from his background shows there was any motivation or any ideology behind this, then we have to look at his psychological issues. and the airline was not willing
10:22 pm
or forthcoming today, general mcinerney, with any information about why he stopped his training back in 2009. that's somewhat of a puzzle, right? >> it's very puzzling sean. i think we have to do a deep dive into that to see why he did, did he suffer depression, were there other different medical problems that he might have, bipolar or something like that. none of those facts do we know yet. what we do hope though is that they don't cover them up like malaysian airlines did on mh-370. i think i give great credit to the marseilles prosecutor there who opened this up today so we wouldn't be speculating what we thought it was. it is clearly an act of deliberate flying an airplane into the ground. >> yeah. that's the bottom line. >> i would agree. i think we need to have a 360-degree review of this. we need to focus on who was on board that aircraft, whatever could be in his background
10:23 pm
either the last 24 hours all the way up to the last several years. >> is this something that if somebody suffers from depression or anxiety issues that they should never be allowed to fly an airplane? >> that's a great leading question because now we have to look at standards. we have standards within the u.s. commercial aviation, you know, sector. >> you can't fly a fighter jet if you have anxiety issues, right? >> what i'm going to want to know is what background checks were done on this, what follow-up checks were done and if there was any indication at all what to be able to fly that aircraft. >> thanks gentlemen. coming up on the one hand the obama administration they're supporting the iranian led forces and their efforts against isis in iraq, but on the other backing saudi arabia's offensive against iranian-backed rebels in yemen. this makes no sense. can anybody figure out what thehehehehehe

10:26 pm
president obama authorized logistical and intelligence support to saudi arabia as they bomb the iranian-led rebels today. but at the same time iran-led forces in tikrit against isis. meanwhile according to a new report files held by yemeni security forces containing details of american intelligence operations in the country that expose names of confidential informants have in fact been stolen by iranian-backed militia leaders. joining me with former deputy assistant secretary of state and fox news contributor liz cheney and also fox news contributor steven hayes. to put this together liz you really have to follow the bouncing ball. because it doesn't make sense. you've got an iranian proxy war going on against israel almost continually as they support hezbollah and other groups. you've got the iranian mullah this past sunday chanting death to america. now we've got a proxy war against saudi arabia and other countries by iranian supported rebels in yemen.
10:27 pm
and then an administration that wants to allow them in the out years of this deal, the sunset years, a nuclear weapon. >> right. >> help me understand the logic behind this if there even is such a thing. >> well, the big picture truth here is that everything you see happening right now really across the middle east is directly traceable back to two things. one of those is the american withdrawal, the american withdrawal from iraq which created isis. the american withdrawal from afghanistan which even though it's been slowed now has not been slowed sufficiently. that's one thing. the second thing is our nuclear talks with iran. and it is absolutely the case that the united states under president obama is undergoing an historic and devastating realignment of our interests so that the president is now aligning america with iran. now, the very kind of minor support and assistance you see to saudi arabia at this point is really i would say just
10:28 pm
symbolic. but it is not the kind of support we should be given the saudis. you have a situation where we have totally turned our back on israel, we've turned our back on our gulf arab allies. they all know that. they are all watching us now walk down this path of additional dangerous concessions towards an agreement that will enable the iranians to have a nuclear weapon. and the saudis are doing the right thing. they've got a very real concern about what's happening in yemen. >> steve, there's a good piece by max booth in "the wall street journal" today where he suggested the obama doctrine is the u.s. is withdrawing off the world stage and allowing the iranians to take over. you watch the jordanians and the egyptians and now even the saudis, you know they're battling the terrorist forces in their region as we have, as liz pointed out retreated. you know, this is a dramatic shift. and it doesn't sound good to me. what's your analysis of it? >> no, i think that's right. i agree with what liz said. i think if you look back at the way the president has handled iran from the very beginning of his administration.
10:29 pm
remember he wrote a letter to the supreme leader back in the spring of 2009. >> well, he said they're not a threat in 2008. iran, you know, cuba, these countries are tiny, remember that? >> and then you go forward from there. and in 2009 i think the fall of 2009 was an important milestone because we discovered a secret nuclear facility in iran. and rather than use that as a way to suggest that iran wasn't going to make good on any of its promises, any of its obligations under previous u.n. security council resolutions, the president and his advisers said that this was an opportunity for iran to rejoin the community of civilized nations. and then you go back to the flat fall, to the fall of 2014 and the president wrote this letter again to the supreme leader. according to "the wall street journal" he said in effect, we're not going to mess with your client in syria. we're not going to target bashar assad, we're not going to target the security forces. and we want to potentially help
10:30 pm
being on the same side in this battle against isis. that is basically a green light for iran's regional aggression. and we've seen them go forward from that point. >> liz, i see very profound long standing shift in the geopolitical makeup in the world even. we have a president that wants to give the iranians nuclear weapons in spite of their threats to the united states death to america, wipe israel off the map. a pathological hatred towards prime minister netanyahu and israel. and yet the jordanians and egyptians when they face terror they fight it with a fierceness. and our president hears about the beheading of one american and 30 seconds later he's on a golf course. >> right. >> so when you put all of that together, what is this going to look like in two years? >> well, it is hard to overstate how dangerous it is and how dangerous it's going to be in a couple of years from now. you have a situation where the
10:31 pm
president is not only willing to make whatever concessions are necessary. you know at first we were going to not allow the iranians to maintain any centrifuges. now looks like they'll continue to spin up to 6,000 and maybe more. any concessions nec negotiating table. but on top of that what also seems to be happening is that he is so desperate for a deal with iran that he's also willing to align our interests with theirs across the region. and if you look at what's happening in yemen, if you look at the fact you've now got a situation where the iranians have significant control in baghdad, tikrit, lebanon through hezbollah. and when the iranians go into these places, if you'll notice they don't go in and set up an alternative government. they go in and sow complete chaos. they support terror, you can't make up how bad this is for the nation. >> i agree with all of that. steve, i'll ask you one final question. so in the out years sunset
10:32 pm
years we're going to give iranians nukes, as liz pointed out spin 6,000 centrifuges in the meantime, have the ability to enrich uranium and ultimately build a bomb. why would any president allow iranian mullahs to do that especially in light of their comments this weekend death to america? >> it's crazy. you've seen the administration from the very beginning saying they wanted to decouple these nuclear talks with the broader set of iran's troubling behavior. and the problem is now they're no longer decoupling this. as i said with the president saying what he said about not interfering with iran's client in syria to siding with iran de facto alliance with iran in iraq, we are including these things. and it's not headed in the right direction. >> all right guys, thank you for being with us. when we come back bo dietl ainsley tom. they're next as we why are all these people so asleep yet i'm so awake? did you know your brain has two systems?
10:33 pm
one helps keep you awake- the other helps you sleep. science suggests when you have insomnia, the wake system in your brain may be too strong and your neurotransmitters remain too active as you try to sleep, which could be leading to your insomnia. ohh...maybe that's what's preventing me from getting the sleep i need! talk to your doctor about ways to manage your insomnia.

welcome back to "hannity." last week police in panama city beach, florida arrested a man from tennessee for allegedly trying to sell a drug known as molly to spring breakers. as we showed you last night in our spring break expose, this is not an isolated case. and dealers from all over the area swarming spring breakers selling all kinds of drugs to these kids. joining us bo dietl, comedian tom shelu and ainsley. ainsley, you were down there, you saw it. you were with the sheriff drug bust, whole bit. >> we saw a guy get arrested for molly. we saw another guy get arrested for marijuana. we saw several people getting arrested all night long. but we did do the ride-along for about an hour with the police officers. >> three drug busts in an hour. >> they have undercover officers that go into these parking lots where they're loiters and sell drugs to these individuals. one guy, they didn't get him the night before. they tried to. they were trying to buy drugs off of him. >> right. >> and then they called in the
10:39 pm

competing interests. and values. and one value is we bring everybody home off the battlefield the best we can. it doesn't matter how they ended up in a prisoner of war situation. >> it doesn't matter? >> it doesn't matter. we bring our people home. >> just talking about like she did in benghazi. what difference does it make? does it matter to you as a mother who lost a son? >> it definitely matters to every young man that served with honor and distinction and every parent, every son, every daughter. you have just lowered the standard for their parents. or their son, or themselves. >> now, matt they're going to have a tough decision to make here he faces life in prison possibly as a result. what do you, and fellow platoon
10:54 pm
mates what do you think is a fair punishment? >> 20 years to life in prison. >> do you think he should get out? >> maybe. after 20 years. i guess. at that point you'd have to see. i guess i'm not really an expert on that. i feel 20 years to life would be good. maybe after 20 years, possibility of parole. this is just my opinion. >> what do you think, mrs. andrews? . >> i think life. >> thank you both. >> that is -- >> go ahead, finish. . >> i don't think anything less than life is coming close to his -- what he did to our young men and women. >> matt and sandra thank you for being with us appreciate it i want to mention an important event. second annual darren andrews memorial golf tournament, raising money to support students of this community.
