Nilesh Desai said the ISRO scientists had thought Luna-25 to Moon's south pole would pip India's Chandrayaan-3 until the Russian mission failed.

Electronics failure led to the power outage. the game was delayed six minutes, neither team had retaking ability. it was another 20 minutes before it came back, so it was like being called by an undisclosed team in an undisclosed location somewhere far. another bit of sad drama the royals starting pitcher played the game unaware his father had died earlier in the day. his family ask it not be reported, he not be told until he pitched the game. volquez left to be with his family. its not clear wh...

We want to err on the side of caution. be patient. theres a lot of territory to cover there. evy, theres 4,000 square miles that this plane could have gone in either direction. if you look at the possibilities, judging from your expertise when you see that map and hear this information from the malaysian official, does it point to you catastrophic mechanical failure or terrorism or do you think its too early on to even speculate about it? >>. >> look, it is early on because we dont have all of t...

I gave this question earlier to our andrew stevens and he said this is indeed a good point. someone makes a point here, and they wrote to me and said the plane lost contact near royal malaysian air force base, there is a suitable runway there. if it made it back over to the west coast, would have flown over at least three runways with suitable runways to land. >> right, i know, thats part of the mystery. it was the dead of night. we dont know what kind of navigational equipment was still functio...

Its hard for me to imagine an electrical failure, to have total electrical failure. thats just something out of the blue. the aircraft really needs to have electrical power. its designed that way. there are all kinds of redundancies built into the system so you dont end up flying blind, so to speak. so i think that we are dealing with a situation here where the questions still are looming largely over this full atmosphere. did the airplane actually crash, or did it land someplace? >> thats a big...

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...

Another piece of the jigsaw. we do not have the picture yet. but we have a very useful, important piece of the jigsaw. and i think drew may well be right, whats going to happen over the next 24 to 48 hours, which will be another piece of the jigsaw. but anybody whos read one of these reports, i mean, we could be talking about completely off beam, about a mechanical failure, navigational failure, any form of failure. >> okay, thank you. stand by, stand by. many more pieces. and well get some answ...

Route and this sort of dogleg that it took, in your mind, does that tell you that they had trouble, just good-old fashioned guiding? >> its called dead reckoning or pilot flying by looking at the ground with a map. that very well could have been the case. if they did have a total electrical failure, if they were down to a map, a compass, and a clock, which is how many ships still navigate around the world. all our navigators are taught to do that. pilots are trained to do that from the very begi...

Tom, what do you make of this latest information about the positioning of this plane? >> hi, don. same thing everybody else is saying. you still cant rule out some partial mechanical failure, enough to eliminate communication but not enough to bring the plane immediately down. but you cant rule out either the act of terrorism. obviously appears to not be a catastrophic explosion or the plane wouldnt be airborne for another hour and a half. but it could include somebody gaining access to that coc...

First light, which is probably four hours away from now. that may take longer than that, because there already has been assets deployed in that region, v havent found anything yet. we have known about the possibility of this u-turn. now it looks like its a confirmation. >> thank you very much. i want to bring in now a former airline captain and crash investigator, david funk. good afternoon to you, sir. my question is, why no communication? thats what many people are asking. why no distress call...
