This Morning from CBS News, March 25, 2015
Crash site
Crews were making their way slowly to the remote crash site of Germanwings Flight 9525 through fresh snow and rain, threading their way to the rocky ravine. But CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips says the weather today was better than expected, bringing hopes that recovery efforts could speed along.
German grief
The crash has been a national tragedy for Germany. The nation is believed to have lost 67 of its citizens, and staff of the budget airline and its parent company Lufthansa around the world observed a minute of silence today in their honor. There were no classes today at Joseph Koenig High School in Haltern, which lost 18 in the crash, reports CBS News correspondent Holly Williams, but students were encourage to show up anyway, just for grief counseling.
Sully explains
Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger has a great deal of experience with the Airbus A320. He famously landed one in the Hudson River six years ago, saving the lives of everyone on board, and is now an aviation and safety expert for CBS News. Sullenberger told "CBS Evening News" anchor Scott Pelley what could have happened on Germanwings Flight 9525.
Amanda Knox
For the fourth time, an Italian court will determine the fate of Amanda Knox. Italy's top judges have to decide whether to uphold the Seattle woman's murder conviction. CBS News correspondent Peter Van Sant reports their decision could spark a fierce extradition fight between Italy and the U.S.
Uber for kids?
For generations, the milestone 16th birthday has meant a driver's license and newfound freedom. But with the rise of ride-sharing services like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, some kids are gaining independence even younger. CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford looks at a trend favored by many working parents and their busy kids.
"Right to Try
"
Terminally ill patients in Indiana now have the "right to try," after the state's governor signed a bill yesterday allowing dying patients to take experimental drugs if traditional treatments don't work. This could change the life of a 5-year-old boy with muscular dystrophy. CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz reports on how his parents are helping fulfill his dreams as he fights the disease.
Alzheimer's drug
Researchers have high hopes for the new Alzheimer's drug solanezumab, which is being used in the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease study (known simply as "A-4"). As CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports, the new trial could lead to use of a medication that winds up being "game changing."
Bubble territory?
Stocks aren't cheap. That doesn't mean they can't keep rising. But investors should acknowledge the risks. Fundamentals seem to matter less and less, with both corporate earnings growth and economic data rolling over. Instead, a combination of ebullient sentiment and a continuation of ultra-low interest rates and minimal inflation are all supporting increasingly stretched valuations. In some areas, reports CBS News MoneyWatch, one could argue we're deep into bubble territory.
