independently confirm that if this turns out to be true what does that tell you about what happened as the plane crash eded. it s really not determined. there s other evidence that we won t talk about that s too gruesome sm on television but hopefully it will tell them one thing, which is the if it hit the water and broke up in a forward rate of speed, you d be able to tell that by the damages that the seat belt does to the body. if it was downed at a straight angle like this which would indicate a flat spin or stall, deep stall, like flight 447 that there are different types of injuries that you would see on those bodies mostly internal type things as well so there s some information that can be gained by the investigators on scene. it s nothing we ll get
necessarily the case. so the bodies that were found in the water were intact right? yes. and there was some debris fleeting on top of the water but not very much. right. supposedly they see this large shadow underneath the water. if the plane did go into this steep climb and went into a stall, how would it have hit the water? the two don t really make they re not interdependent. if it did stall there s 50 different kinds of stalls but if it was a deep stall, which is the power is on and it s flying through and a steep ang lar attack and stalls quickly, that s do i have to recover from like a flat spin. the aircraft has no way to get over the wings to control it. that s the iffirst thing to consider. the second thing, even if it did stall you re at 36,000 feet. that s a long time to recover. i ve had stories of pilots that have lost boast engines, still had time to restart an engine to
if that air craft is intact and he did in fact suffer a hard stall or deep stall and was able to recover to that pin the and keep that fuselage together we are talking about a heroic act. you know what is interesting to me? when we talked370. probably on the bottom of the ocean floor. people were asking is it intact. everyone seemed to think that a plane that size in the ocean, would break up. upon impact. even if it, you said not placid not like the hudson. is that surprising to you? it know it that surprising to me. i have been to the airbus factory, during the airbus 380 certification we were part of. engines are designed to come off. some of the ditching we had before. the engine would catch and spin the aircraft into a cart wheel. since that time the engines are designed to barack offreak off. the bottom of the fuselage
kilometers, but at any rate that s enough space from 36,000 feet to recover from a stall and then glide out. if it was a deep stall, it would not be 60 miles from where it was. it would not be. so i m suspecting at this point that there is a possibility that that aircraft landed and a more flat controlled manner than what we had originally thought. that s something, richard, the amount of debris on the surface begins to tell you. that would be a completely remarkable event. i mean working on the premise so far that the aircraft went into a deep stall and frankly, bluntly, fell out of the sky. if you now start the prem ter and saying it was last known here but ended up here? then you look at some form of gliding, some form of forward motion. the plane didn t literally just stop in the sky.
stalling does what we have here go with that theory? there are five different types of stalls that we could talk about and that s just flight stalls let alone engine stalls and other things along those lines. before we were talking about a deep stall and a power on stall meaning that the power of that airplane is going and you pull up and pull up and pull up until the air is messed up and won t hold the aircraft in the air. there is a stall where it catches itself and does this stepping part. that s what i think we have now. before i thought it was a deep stall. now it indicates it may have had a glide. thank you for putting the pictures together. check out cnn.com/impact for more. we ll take you live to times square where police are gearing
