Where something happens in the cockpit, the pilots loose track of their airspeed and they just lose it an the plane plunges. >> i think you could say that when the plane first disappeared from radar and losing communications could be the result of a pilot error but then know that the plane goes off in another direction, maintains altitude, flies for another 7 or 8 hours, that really rules out any kind of pilot error. >> the search grows to 26 countries looking for any sign of flight 370. >> the ...

Flying planes. thanks, doug. >> thanks, guys. >> we want to take a look at the anatomy of a black box. they are built to withstand crashes and can withstand impact. the biggest issue now is the battery life of the black box. the batteries are designed to last 30 days. since we are already on day 12, there are just 18 days left to find the black box. if we take a look back, we can see the underwater locator beacon. as soon as the flight recorder hits the water it begins emitting a ping once a sec...

Uttered those words or after. joining us crash investigator matt robinson and former 777 pilot jesse bicson. welcome to both of you. if you wanted to evade radar as a former 777 pilot, could you do that? is that typical training of a 777 pilot? how could you go about preparing yourself to do this? >> well, its not typical training and they dont teach us how to evade radar. but as pilots we do know what is required to have an aircraft intear -- interrogated from the corridor. the acar system is c...

Explicative and they both start trying to push the nose down. as the nose comes up. the airspeed starts dropping off. its armed for go around because of the approach mode and now full power comes in to both engines. the nose pitches up. and this air bus went straight up in the air. this is a perfectly clear night with nothing wrong with the airplane. went straight up in the air and did a hammerhead stall and went in and crashed and killed everybody on the airplane. thats a a per example of what ...

Within one to two weeks. new documents show the pilot was confused about his airspeed and controls. three people died in that crash. and thousands of people walked past nelson mandelas casket today. welcome back to "hardball." republican politicians have admitted themselves they have work to do with women, whether talking to female voters or female constituents back home or meeting female challengers on election day. they have been holding sessions with aides to incumbents which politico w...

Fly a little single engine cessna, first fly the airplane. sometimes pilots are forgetting that? >> that is absolutely right. that is absolutely the first rule. as a pilot you will know if an airplane is the correct place at a correct speed everything is probably fine. it was very much about flying fundamentals. it was being handblown for proficiency on a beautiful day but it just got too slow. jon: you need airspeed to stay in the air, they did not have enough airspeed to keep the triple seven ...
