Are you focused on the two captains on onboard the flight? >> i would be very intently focused on them, reverend al, because they have the knowledge, they have the skills, they have the opportunity, they have all the ability to do what was done with the plane, which we now know from the malaysian authorities and all the reporting on it that the flight plan was manually entered and the plane went west. so, you really have to look at them very, very deeply. you know, hijack is not out of the quest...

They would have had to killed or disabled or locked out the other guy. if its a suicide plot, you usually dont do that with your copilot. generally speaking, its an individual id event. so one pilot could do it, they have all the skills. and the plan, this airplanes a mystery. everybody says its a mystery, its a mystery. this was planned to be a mystery, whether its suicide or hijacking, it was planned that way. and thats why it is so. >> captain cox, i saw you moving your head. you wanted to we...

That they would have noticed if the air traffic control radar may not have noticed this airplane, but military radar would. for it to fly into someone elses air space unnoticed would be very, very, very difficult. to me, the evidence points, unfortunately, to the fact that the airplane is probably in the water. >> john cox and jim cavanaugh, ill have to leave it there. thank you both for your time this evening. >> up next, a big day in court for the mom who tried to drive her kids into the ocean...

Am i right about that? >> when you have a condition that causes an airplane to go basically dark and quiet suddenly, it can be a catastrophic event. it can indicate a loss of electrical power. and one of the things they look at is was it an in-flight breakup. if that occurred, then the debris field is likely to be very large, as light objects are carried by the wind and heavier objects fall on a much steeper path. this is some of the things that the investigators look at. now, if in fact it hit ...

Short time ago that she basically saw this plane, at least part of it, break apart as it approached. captain john cox has been with me throughout the afternoon. flew for u.s. air for about 25 years. captain, i dont think ive talked to you since we heard from the eyewitness account. based on what weve heard from someone who saw this happen, any additional information that we can glean from the eyewitness account? >> i think the eyewitness is going to corroborate what the evidence on the runway sh...

Sides. the debris field being so early on the runway, potentially even before the runway. that will be a key question that the investigators are going to ask. why was the airplane on the ground so early? thats much earlier than it should have been. >> we should note also, this plane were told, asiana airlines flight 214. it left seoul yesterday about 4:35 in the afternoon. it was scheduled to arrive. scheduled to arrive in san francisco at 11:15 local time. so that would be about 2:15 eastern ti...
