Electrical system, it will take them a few hours to get working as well as it should given the conditions theyre about to face. >> whats your message to emergency personnel when it comes to those who left their homes who did evacuate around relevant parts should they come back or stay where they are? >> each local authority in each county will make that determination theres still causeways closes because the florida department of transportation needs to certify they havent been structure urlly c...

Cars have been removed from the crash site that you can see behind me. also i think its significant to point out that there is a lot less activity at that crash site, because it really is in the cleanup mode at this point. we understand that the engine car, and there is one mangled portion of a car that remains as they try to repair this track and get the electrical system back up and running. you also mentioned, i believe, they hope to speak to the engineer at some point today. his attorney has...

And has to be addressed not six years ago, not four years ago but this horrible accident shows something should have been taken care of without any political discussion or debate a long time ago. and you remember we only have one individual that we know of in front of this train. there are two individuals in front of an airplane. i think the question should be asked why isnt there more than one individual on this locomotive. whether you have a failure of the engineer failure of mechanical or ele...

>> im good. i want to talk about this half ping. it came after 8:11 a.m. what might this show? >> i think it is going to have to be carefully analyzed in terms of the timing of the half ping and its nature. it may very well be the very last attempt for the airplane to hand shake with the authorities other means of discovering whats going on through the satellite. it may become very, very significant. right now, it is all part of that same jigsaw puzzle that we have with all those pieces that the...

Still okay. when you hear that, you can begin to understand his family and fathers grief and why he is really pushing for answers. >> laurie segall, many thanks. joining me now is daniel rhodes, an aviation attorney. i read a bit of this lawsuit. it is asking for things like, things from boeing like the history of the airplane, who made the parts and their history, who maintained the electrical system. so it seems like this family doesnt want money, per se, although they may in the future. i d...

Electrical system somehow came back to life? could it mean that the plane came in contact with salt water and that somehow activated the electrical system? what could it mean? >> i think youre analysis is working out pretty well, actually. the fact that it did occur whether when it did and where it did is significant. for you to suggest that maybe salt water helped to trigger it makes a lot of sense to me. there is a whole lot about these pings that i dont know how much most of us know. this is ...

Night. given this new information, the plane was way off course when it lost contact. what does that tell you? >> it changes a lot from what we talked about last night. the people need to understand what it takes for a 777 to become invisible. everything on that airplane is triple redundant. the electrical systems. the charging systems. the battery systems. communication systems. even the transponders are on completely separate buses. the chance that all the electrical system was out of that air...

Transponders were turned off. that -- thats indeed indicates that the radio bus was not active, so if we had some sort of a -- for instance a deep depression event of some sort, it would have to make contiguous damage, along with the electrical system, to do that. consequently the -- the issue of damage from depression doesnt look very liable at this time, but, indeed, theres a big tangled web out there, and weve got an aircraft that perhaps if these radar signals are correct indeed it has conti...

Years. you can see some folks on the observation deck on top of the base of the statue. people are actually all the way up in the crown already. you can see folks who are now walking around liberty island. this island reopening today after being shut down after hurricane sandy. it was closed back in october of 2011 to install safety features inside the statue. and they put in new elevators, a new staircase, and they reopened the statue for a single day and thats when hurricane sandy hit. and hur...

Minneapolis bridge class, do you remember how freaky it was seeing the lights still on on some of those cars, that shows you that the electrical system does still work in some cases. >> i cant get past the first two words dont panic. you looked scared. >> clayton: there is is no way driving along with your family and your car plunges and the water fills up hold on everybody, wait everyone, wait a second now we can get out lets go. >> mike: not going to be dressed with a helmet or orange jumpsuit...
