The aircraft levels out, seems to be in control. at this point, this would be something we would not be talking about, but then, inexplicably, it rises back up into the clouds from where the trouble began and heads over toward manhattan. it is erratic flying that is very difficult to explain. was the pilot somehow incapacitated? was he dealing with a medical energ emergency? was there a control problem with the aircraft? doesnt look like it, but there could be. theres a lot of mysteries here. >>...

Response in midtown manhattan. the governor said it, everybody in the city has ptsd about what happened with 9/11. so this is always first concern. was it deliberate or an accident? >> it seems from the reporting were getting and the fact that its bad weather outside and very low visibility and that somebody put a helicopter squarely down on the top of a tall manhattan building, this was a deliberate attempt to force-land a helicopter in a situation in which the helicopter had probably failed in...

Alarming to many, many passengers because they say after all, who would know the plane better than those who are up there flying it up front? these are serious concerns brought forward because some of the pilots have even described this control problem and the way they describe it sounds very eerily similar to what very early indications we have of what may have gone wrong with both the crash that took place over the weekend and the one that took place last october in indonesia. so that has rais...

People write speeches for him and he reads them on the prompter and they move an inch forward, then he is allowed to indulge himself and go back to campaign mode and speak off the top of his head, we get this unfiltered donald trump which is whats terrifying the country and causing crises in the republican party. >> did you see a comparison because the ambassador made a comparison? >> well i got the point he was trying to make about j.f.k. im not sure he agree with it. i dont believe the crazy t...

I have spoken about it continuous. >> i why -- why does it matter? >> the reason it matters these are two different functions. the national security agency collects intelligence and defends cyber security. the cyber command, the military side, is in to -- is there to conduct military operations in cyberspace. we dont want the same person running the cia and intelligence operation and the department of defense. we want that separated. same principle applies here and secondly, peter, these are two...

So i can not speak to the reputation of this airline. >> tom costello, thank you for the very latest on that. here is mikey kay, also ntsb board member. anthony, we were talking about this last hour, and we have more information from tom costello and ron mott and its jogging, if it turns out to be that flight radar and they normally do, what does that tell you? >> it appears that they had a control problem, and there are several reasons, one is power plant, one is mechanical, we have a problem w...

Descent to stop the plane from going down, turning one way or another will not necessarily what im going to be concerned with. certainly if we had a extreme nose at tied the last thing i want to do put angle of bank in there, get the airplane turning in the wrong direction because i want to do a level pull if i have to really yank that nose back up. i dont want to do a rolling pull. jon: but you are over the alps. if you turn at least 90 degrees or so to the right you kind of get out of those fo...

To either of those locations were this particular crash? were they taking off, landing, should they have been at 7,000 feet? >> it was lost at 6,800 feet. yes, that is heading into a mountainous area. so, yes, there is a possibility of simple misreading of an altitude or a control problem that brought the aircraft down into a position where it became -- >> jp, so there could be pilot error, could be something that malfunctioned with the instrument panel and the reads that prompted them to be at ...

Control, so i would have to start to speculate that something occurred, possibly in its altitude or it lost some type of engines and was not able to recover power and descended into a mountainous area. >> you dont like that elevation for that area. that puts up a red flag for you? >> anything like that with a mountainous radar. theyre talking about 6,800 feet. my first suspicions perhaps an engine out, some type of control problem that had been lower than they should be in the area. or even misr...
