french alps. >> in photos he appeared to be a healthy young man, but it now appears that andreas lubitz struggled with severe depression and that he may have hid it from his employers all in an effort to try and retain his job. >> this raises all sorts of questions about the psychological screening for the pilots who fly all of us, and we're going to speak to our aviation expert in a moment, but our coverage begins this morning with alex marquardt in the co-pilot's hometown in germany. alex, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. that's right. investigators here in germany furiously digging into the past of andreas lubitz looking for any clues desperately in his medical history that might give some indication, shed some light into why he intentionally took that plane down along with 149 other people. this morning, a fuller and darker picture is emerging of co-pilot andreas lubitz. the 27-year-old who appeared happy, healthy, good at his job was harboring a secret, a medical condition that german

prosecutors now say even his bosses at lufthansa didn't know about. [ speaking a foreign language ] "the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues," he says. investigators have been scouring lubitz's apartment in dusseldorf which neighbors say he shared with his girlfriend. you can see the two names on the buzzer. inside in the trash they found two torn up doctors' notes saying lubitz was too sick to work including one for the day of the crash. prescriptions for medications also thrown away. german media is reporting that lubitz suffered from depression. back in 2009 it reportedly forced him to interrupt his pilot's training while in arizona. "the wall street journal" reporting that lubitz was worried the airline would find out about his illness, facts abc news has not confirmed. >> it is not unheard of for pilots to keep from their employers medical conditions that they feel might ground them. it's one of the few professions where if you are ill, certain illnesses are not tolerated and you're not allowed to fly.

>> reporter: two weeks ago lubitz was treated at a dusseldorf hospital, but the hospital says it was not related to depression. now at the little flight school where lubitz learned his love of flying, they're stunned. >> i was shocked. i was shocked. there was nothing. i was just shocked. >> reporter: it was with this club that lubitz would travel taking their gliders to soar over the beautiful peaks and valleys of the french alps just a short distance from the very spot where a few years later he would bring down that plane. german authorities have so far declined to say whether lubitz did suffer from a mental illness. lufthansa, however, today saying that all new recruits undergo a rigorous psychological testing but then once they're accepted, the focus is then on physical health. paula. >> alex marquardt, thank you. and we want to bring in veteran pilot and abc news aviation consultant john nance who joins us from seattle this morning. hi, john. thank you for joining us.

we put our lives in their hands on a daily basis. a lot of folks worry how do i know if my pilot is mentally stable to fly my plane? what do you say to those concerns? >> well, basically what has worked for us for so long certainly in the united states, north america in general, is that we watch each other pretty well. we don't have any method of psychological testing on an ongoing basis, and that's something that even though there are going to be voices calling for that we need to be cautious because people can still lie about their condition. >> yeah. here we are talking about mental health, mental illness once again. in many fields an employer is not even allowed to ask the employee about his or her mental health. so what more do you think can be done about screening pilots for psychological problems, john? >> well, i think first we've got to know everything that happened here and how this individual hid what he hid because one of the questions is if anything that we put in place change is going to be a massive, extensive change in psychological testing on an ongoing basis, we've got to have a reasonable capability of finding these things out. and that may not do it.

i think basically we may be looking at news the physiological things of making sure we have no fewer than two people in the cockpit. might be a better way of going. that might be a much better way of going. >> john, thanks for joining us from seattle this morning. >> so many open questions still and we will be covering this story around the clock on abcnews.com. >> we'll be moving on now to a new wrinkle in the investigation into that sudden explosion of a building right here in new york city. the mayor now says there is a suspicion that some sort of, quote, impropriety may have led to the blast. this as police search for two men now missing and believed to have possibly been inside that building, and abc's linzie janis is on the scene right now. linzie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. you can see a crane behind me lifting debris but more than 40 hours after that almighty blast, there are still hot spots within the rubble burning. firefighters have to put those out and then allow the area to cool before they can send in

crews and dogs to start looking through it. overnight, bulldozers starting to clear some of the smoldering rubble while emergency workers in protective gear get ready to sift through the area where at least two missing people are believed to be. >> this has to be very carefully searched. >> reporter: 23-year-old nicholas figueroa, a bowling alley worker, was in a ground floor sushi restaurant when the explosion happened there having lunch with a date. >> he's not going to be in our family if we don't find him. >> reporter: he had gone to pay the bill when the building blew up. his date barely making it out alive. also missing, 26-year-old moises lucon, a waiter at that restaurant. a job lucon's cousin says he loved. authorities say the owner of that restaurant smelled gas less than an hour before the blast. he called the landlord, who sent in a general contractor to investigate. then the trigger. opening the door to the basement.

mayor bill de blasio acknowledging friday that work being done on the building's gas line may have been done poorly. >> there is a possibility here that the gas line was inappropriately accessed internally. >> reporter: so far 22 people injured. one victim still in critical but stable condition. nearly 100 people displaced by the blast including "sopranos" actress drea de matteo posting this photo on instagram with the caption, "a hole where my nyc home of the last 2 years once stood." again, so much work to be done. none of it can begin until the fires are out including the search for a cause. it's early still but we're told it's possible this will be a criminal investigation. paula. >> ongoing scene and those families holding out hope. linzie janis, thank you for joining us. and we move now to the controversy over that racist chapter caught on camera involving a university of oklahoma fraternity.

well, it turns out it was not an isolated incident. in fact, it's been uncovered that frat members learned it on a leadership cruise, and abc's ryan owens has the latest on this investigation. >> reporter: this video posted by a member of sigma alpha epsilon shows what the national leadership cruise is supposed to be about, an opportunity to build bonds among brothers. but this morning an investigation by the university of oklahoma finds that cruise four years ago led to this. ♪ there will never be a [ bleep ] -- >> reporter: the university says the racist chant recorded earlier this month was not a one-time thing and wasn't limited to ou. >> that chapter was brought back to the local chapter and was taught to pledges as part of the formal and informal pledgeship process. >> reporter: the president says there's no evidence the chant is sanctioned by the national fraternity, but says it was widely known among frat leaders on that cruise. the school expelled the two frat brothers seen leading the chant.

one of them fell on the sword earlier this week. >> there are no excuses for my behavior. i never thought of myself as a racist. i never considered it a possibility. >> reporter: sae is one of the country's largest fraternities. the national organization confirms on its website the university's findings are likely correct about that cruise, but they insist there's no current evidence that the chant is widespread among the fraternity's 237 groups. they point the finger at their former brothers in the ou chapter, which has now been shut down, its members forced to move out. >> do i think all these young men are racists? do i think they're proud of what they did? no. >> reporter: does he think they learned their lesson, yes. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, dallas. >> and our thanks to ryan owens. a lot of other headlines overnight. let's get it over to ron and you're leading, i believe, with a landslide in washington state. >> that is right, dan. good morning to you and paula, sara, welcome back.

we do begin in washington state and a community on edge after an earth-shattering landslide. the earth crumbled snapping trees and wiping out chunks of this landslide in washington state. residents living near the landslide were ordered to evacuate. four homes in the area suffered serious damage. officials there are concerned because they say the earth has not stopped moving. and in boston, police officers holding a vigil overnight outside the hospital where a decorated officer is in critical condition this morning shot in the face in a shootout with a suspect after a routine traffic stop. the officer, john moynihan, was one of the officers, boston officers honored by president obama for helping save a transit police officer shot by the tsarnaev brothers -- allegedly shot by the tsarnaev brothers after the boston marathon bombings. the suspect in friday night's shooting was shot and killed by police at the scene. and in somalia government officials say they have now taken control of the hotel where gunmen were holed up for more than 12 hours. al shabaab, the al qaeda linked islamic militant group, has claimed responsibility for the

attack that killed at least 17 people. and a big legal victory for a silicon valley venture capital firm at the center of a discrimination lawsuit that put a spotlight on workplace gender bias. ellen pao, a junior partner at kleiner perkins, sued her former company saying she was failed to be promoted because she was a woman and eventually fired her for complaining about gender discrimination. the jury of six women and six men rejected pao's claims. pao is now the ceo of reddit. and u.s. astronaut scott kelly is now installed in his new home for the next year, the international space station, this after blasting off on an historic mission. >> and liftoff. a year in space starts now. >> kelly along with his russian counterpart, who has no name will spend 342 days, just kidding, aboard the space station which would be the longest stretch of time any american astronaut has spent in outer space, and while scott kelly is out there in space, a scientist will also be

monitoring his brother, mark kelly, gabby giffords' husband and himself a former astronaut. the goal is to study how being in orbit changes scott kelly's body compared to his identical twin back on earth. and a true hero in california. a school bus driver saving dozens of kids after this, tires exploding as fire sweeps through the school bus as it pulled into rancho santa margarita intermediate school. and you see there bus driver lisa cheryl visibly shaken after that blast. she managed to grab a fire extinguisher and tried to douse the flames inside the bus. the 20-year veteran led all 35 students from that blazing bus and on to safety. and finally, you may know that feeling in the middle of the night when you just need a snack. >> oh, yeah. >> i want you to meet 4-year-old annabel from pennsylvania who couldn't wait for her favorite treat, which is a slushie, so she headed out for an overnight adventure, 4 years old. >> 4. >> donning her purple coat and

snow boots and she ended up on a city bus, you see there, passengers alerting the driver that the pint-sized passenger was all alone at 3:00 in the morning. officers were called in, and annabel was taken into custody and arrested -- no, was taken home. her parents say this is annabel's first and they say last solo trip at least for awhile. they're setting up a new alarm system. annabel, by the way, never got her slushie that night. >> oh, you know what, slushies are so good, i think i would wander out in the middle of the night for one. >> at the age of 4, right? >> that tells us a lot about you. >> you might have. >> not at 4. >> you can tell a city kid. they use public transportation when they get up in the middle of the night. >> at least she got home safely and everyone was -- >> what was the bus driver thinking? >> letting her on. yes. >> pay your fare, right. >> i can't believe she doesn't know about uber. i'm so disappointed. anyway we can't accuse her of not being ambitious. ron, thank you. we appreciate it. we're going to move on now and switch gears to the case in california that some are comparing to the movie "gone girl." it centers around 29-year-old denise huskins who is insisting through her lawyers this morning

that she was in fact kidnapped. police, however, say it was all a hoax and abc's aditi roy is on the story in l.a. this morning. aditi, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. so many twists in this case and this morning we're hearing more from the couple at the center of the saga speaking through their lawyers. they say they were victimized first by the alleged kidnappers and then by police. this morning, 29-year-old denise huskins and boyfriend aaron quinn are fighting back through their lawyers against police allegations that her nearly three-day kidnapping was a hoax. you think police owe your client an apology? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: huskins believed to be seen here leaving the vallejo police department thursday and quinn have both been questioned for hours by police who called the abduction orchestrated. >> our investigation has concluded that none of the claims has been substantiated. >> reporter: but according to huskins' attorney, the kidnapping was no joke. >> she is absolutely unequivocally 100% positively a

victim, and this is no hoax. >> reporter: huskins was allegedly taken for an $8500 ransom from her boyfriend's home early monday morning. quinn reporting the incident to police nearly ten hours later. his lawyer saying it took him that long to call 911 because he was tied up and drugged by at least two assailants. an all-out nearly three-day search for huskins followed. her family desperate and baffled. >> she didn't have any enemies that i know of. i know this is not a prank. that's for sure. >> reporter: wednesday morning huskins reappeared more than 400 miles away in southern california. this morning another twist, quinn's lawyer telling abc news his office received an e-mail from the alleged kidnappers, a six-page manifesto, which he says explains why they committed the crime. >> these people are really -- they're really motivated. >> when i pressed him, he wouldn't go into the specifics, but he did say it proves that the couple isn't lying. we asked police to comment and

they declined to do so. the mystery continues. paula. >> the mystery deepens. aditi roy, thank you. some of the police authorities say some of those claims that she substantiated -- they actually could not substantiate. they didn't add up. very baffling. speaking of baffling, our next story, something that you don't see every day. a piano on a mountain. it turned into a musical mystery. just how did it get there? >> so once these shots hit social media, the story went completely viral, and the search for a culprit intensified. and sara is here to crack this thing wide open. >> because we put sara on all the big investigations? >> yes. >> doesn't a piano on a mountain kind of sound like three guys walked into a bar but it's actually not a joke. after our in-depth investigation into the matter, mystery solved. check it out. ♪ this morning, the hills of santa monica, california, are alive with the sound of music. ♪ out of nowhere on a remote hiking trail earlier this week. >> everybody wants to know why it's up there.

upon this kind of attraction, i guess, and then just take a picture with it, maybe mess around on the piano a little bit. >> reporter: and no one is more surprised than they are at the reaction it's gotten. ♪ now rachel told us originally they didn't want to fess up because they were worried. they never got permission to take it up in the first place. but all the buzz it got now she saids if they a problem or a fine they can contact up and she'll come up with whatever they need. but it's gotten a lot of attention for her music. >> i'm surprised she wasn't written up for littering. >> i was going to say it's artistic but still littering. >> no such thing as bad pr in that situation, right? >> that may be true. that may be true. >> well, rob marciano has the weekend off but we are delighted to have julie durda, our meteorologist from our miami station joining us this morning. hi, julie. >> hey, paula. and good morning, america. we have some incredible video. we're going to take you to chile. some amazing sights to see that occurred overnight. over 14 years' worth of rain triggered a deadly flooding concern in the driest place on earth.
