young man but it now appears andreas lubitz struggled with severe depression and that he may have hid it from his employers all in an effort to try to retain his job. >> this raises questions about the psychological screening for the pilots who fly all of us and we'll 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, 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 on 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," 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 he was treated at a dusseldorf

hospital but the hospital says it was not related to depression. now with the little flight school where he learned his love of flying they're stunned. >> i was shocked. i was shocked. 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 saying 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. we want to bring in veteran pilot and abc consultant john nance joining us from seattle. hi. 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 will be voices to call for that we need to be cautious. people can still lie about their condition. >> here we are talking about mental health mental illness, in many fields an employer is not allowed to ask 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 in an ongoing basis we have to find a capability of finding these things out. i think basically we may look at just the physiological things of

making sure we have no fewer than two people in the cockpit. might be a 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 are, though, going to move 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, linzie good morning. >> reporter: you can see a crane behind me lifting debris but more than 40 hours after that almighty blast there are still hot spots burning within the rubble and firefighters have to put those out then allow the area to cool before they can send in crews and dogs to start looking through it.

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 from'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. let's get it over to ron and you're leading 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.
