what can you tell us? >> reporter: matt, good morning. this morning the ceo of the airline confirmed that two americans were on board the flight, he says that families will be given the opportunity to fly over the crash site tomorrow. meanwhile, there is a hunt for the second black box as they try to find answers to understand how this plane seemed to fall from the sky. the victims of this crash came from around the world, including two americans. this morning three heads of state arrive here, the leaders of germany, spain and france, in the mountains the wreckage is spread over a wide area, the plane has been pulverized one official said. german media says the aircraft was grounded 24 hours before the crash, today experts are examining one of the recovered black boxes, the cockpit voice recorder. it's damaged but may still provide evidence. claude lives in the village before the crash site.

>> it's behind that mountain. just behind there. >> what did you hear? >> a loud unusual sound, he says, like this. then nothing. the a-320, one of the most popular airliners descended from 38,000 feet in eight minutes on board 150 people, many grermen and spanish. now rescuers are searching for bodies. the only way to reach the crash site is by walking up the mountain or by helicopter. but this morning, bad weather is hampering that search effort. while in germany a growing memorial for 16 high school students who were among the passengers. a deepening mystery over what happened to the plane they were there were people from 15 countries on board. one of the questions is why the plane didn't send off a may day signal during eight minutes of deskend. in terms of why it was grounded

24 hours before the crash, apparently there was a problem with the door on the nose but that was cleared for safety. at the same time some say they don't want to tli a-320s until this is solved. >> keir simmons, thank you. debra served with the ntsb and now the president and ceo of the national safety council. good to see you. >> good morning. >> we've learned that the cockpit voice recorder has been recovered and authorities are saying it is damaged but it is usable. what kind of information might investigators be able to glean from it? when you hear it's damaged, what does that mean to you? >> you know, there's an external casing that could be damaged. you want to make sure that the information inside is readable and it's usable. you are looking at potentially a two-hour recording so you should get the entirety of the flight. you can hear the crew talk about

you know, take-off procedures, any maintenance that might have been done, they might be discussing that. but also those critical minutes and seconds leading up to the crash. you want to know what's happening in the cockpit. the cockpit voice recorder is going to be critical. >> is and very quickly on that, how quickly do you think they will be able to get that information from it? >> generally you can download that information within a span of a few hours if it's not damaged. so, that will really be the test. >> it's early in this investigation, so we don't want to speculate but one of the most perplexing facts seems to be a moment or so after reaching cruising altitude this plane begins a decent. as we understand not fast, not slow, what is described as a controlled descent over eight minutes. what do you make of that and is that something that the pilots would have to initiate? >> well, i think the cockpit voice recorder is going to give them insight into that, whether

it was initiated by the crew, whether there's conversations about trouble shooting, or whether perhaps they are setting an auto pilot. it's going to be important to understand why they were doing what they did in the cockpit, and hopefully the recorder will give us that information today. >> in terms of the crash site itself, you see those images you can hardly imagine a more forbidding place for a search and recovery and this has been described as a plane that was pulverized along this mountainside not even accessible by roads. how confident they will be able to literally piece this together? >> i'm absolutely confident that the investigators are going to figure out what happened, but for sure the first days are going to be for those families, for the recovery of their loved ones, and the to make sure they have what they need. >> i'm glad you mentioned the families because that is of foremost importance. thank you very much. >> thank you.

got their hands full. no question about it. some of the images you look at it and the fact these pieces are so small. >> you can't even imagine the power of that impact. they have their work cut out. al's got his eye on severe weather. >> right. could be our first tornado of march. we haven't had one yet. that's good news, we'd like to keep it that way. this is a powerful system. you can get a sense of how powerful. snow up through green bay, the u.p. of michigan, some areas may pick up 5 to 8 inches before it's over. this is a warm front pushing in. we've got activity now on top of that jet stream comes up and so we're going to look at some severe weather developing. detroit, you're going to look at clouds, showers, maybe snow on the back side of this system. but here's what we are watching. we've got the risk of severe weather right now from texas, oklahoma on into arkansas, and missouri.

but stronger risk, fayetteville, joplin, missouri where they are still recovering from deadly tornados of a couple years ago. we're continuing to watch that. heavy rain with this as well. we're talking some areas picking up to 3 to 5 inches of rain, so we have flood watches thursday morning from southern illinois, into northeast oklahoma. this is a very widespread threat that lasts this afternoon into overnight. those overnight hours are the roughest times for tornados to strike so we'll continue to track this as the day wears on. >> thank you very much. natalie, she's back with a sad story. >> so tragic. a san jose, california police officer shot and killed overnight after responding to a call about a man threatening to kill himself. bob redell from our station in the bay area is there with the latest. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. san jose police tell us their hearts are heavy, there's a lot of crying, a lot of tears among those in the department as they mourn the death of officer michael johnson, a quun 4-year

veteran with the department shot and killed last night at an apartment complex a few blocks from where we're standing now. san jose's mayor says what happened was the city's darkest hour, around 7:00 last night johnson and his fellow officers were responding to report of a 57-year-old man who was depressed, intoxicated, in possession of a high powered rifle. as officer johnson approached the apartment unit, that suspect, scott dunham, started firing from the second floor, hitting johnson who died on the scene. his colleagues returned fire, there was a stand-off overnight. when police entered dunham's apartment this morning they found him dead on the balcony with at least one gunshot wound. it's possible he was dead during the entire standoff. johnson is the 12th slain in duty in the department's entire history. >> thank you, bob. authorities say it a wisconsin

state trooper was also shot and killed during a shoot-out with a possible bank robbery suspect. it happened tuesday evening in the city of fond du lac. the suspect was also killed in the exchange. the name of the trooper and suspect have not been released. >> some u.s. troops in afghanistan won't be coming home stoons expected. president obama agreed tuesday to slow the u.s. military pullout from afghanistan at the request of its new government. but the president says the delay won't jeopardize his commitment to end america's longest war before leaving office. the latest plan leaves 9800 troops in place rather than downsizing to 5500 by year's end. there is now newly released video showing that incident involving the secret service agents reportedly intoxicated when they hit a barricade outside the white house march fourth, there was a bomb threat investigation. the video shows a woman drop off a package outside the white house.

more than 30 minutes later government car pulls up in front of the security check point and bumps a plastic barricade. the investigation still ongoing in that incident. and frightening moments caught on camera. the road collapses in brazil and passengers were able to escape this bus just in time. you see what happens there, the bus is swallowed up by a massive hole in the road. it's not over. then the bus was swept away by rushing flood waters. again, fortunately, no one on the bus was hurt. and nobody was on the bus at the time. actor will ferrell will be etched among the all-time hollywood greats because the former "snl" comedian was presented with the star on the walk of fame. but for a brief moment wasn't clear if he was going through with the dedication ceremony. take a look. >> it goes without saying that i feel so fortunate, and yet, i

be on amanda knox this morning, her kalg goes before italy's highest court. at issue, will the murder convictions of knox and her companion be upheld by the court? peter alexander is here watching developments for us. good morning. >> good morning. this is happening as we speak in italy. the judges are hearing arguments from both the prosecution and both defense teams before deciding whether to confirm knox guilty verdict or if the case returns for another appeal. amanda knox's former italian boyfriend arrived in court this morning for what could be the final hearing in their infamous murder trials. the panel of judges will decide whether to uphold the guilty verdict for the most recent appeal, or send the trial back to yet another appeal. knox's legal team remains confident. >> are you hopeful their decision is going to be overturned? >> yes. yes. we're looking for having a conviction overturned. >> reporter: it's a roller

coaster ride for the two. initially found guilty for the 2007 murder of knox's british roommate meredith kercher. the two were acquitted of the charges, and freed after nearly four years in prison. knox returned to her hometown of seattle has remained in the united states. but in a stunning reversal last year italian appeals court upheld the original guilty verdict against both. back in 2013 knox told matt she couldn't imagine ever returning to italy for another appeal. >> i was already imprisoned as an innocent person in italy and i can't reconcile the choice to go back with that experience. it's not a possibility. it is i was imprisoned as an innocent person and i -- i just can't relive that. >> reporter: she and he have maintained their innocence. >> there is no, nothing inside

the murder scene that links us to the murder. >> reporter: but he did return to italy and had his passport taken after the last guilty verdict. if the conviction stands he is facing a return to prison to again serve his 25 year sentence. his legal team is holding nothing back filing additional document for today's hearing trying to distance himself from knox. as for knox, she could face a new battle if the italian authorities move to extradite her, forcing her back to italy to continue her 28 years behind bars. if the court upholds this conviction it's not certain what happens next. italy could move to extradite her but that would require the u.s. to send her back and a lot of legal experts that we have spoken to believe it's unlikely or wouldn't happen without another significant legal fight. either way bottom line is amanda knox's legal limbo cocould extend. >> meetpeter, thank you.

help this young man move forward. but i think our community has to learn a lot about it as well. >> reporter: petit and parker rice said they withdrew after the video went public. the university president saying the two created a hostile learning environment that impacted the entire university community. >> i hope they think long and hard about what they have done. >> reporter: both were members of sigma alpha epsilon. rice saying what he did was wrong and reckless. petit's parents apologizing saying their son is not a racist. >> i don't believe he is a racist. i don't believe he was raised that way. you have to know the difference between a youthful indiscretion and malicious intent. and i just don't believe he had malicious intent. >> reporter: also later today, ou's president is planning to hold what is described as a family meeting with fraternity leaders here on campus to discuss what they have learned since that video became public.
