The flight attendants are probably going through a procedure for rapid depressurization, not knowing the pilots may be incapacitated up front. if they kept the same rate that may be a good explanation of what happened. >> well probably hear something about the contents of the voice recorder tomorrow. that should tell us a lot, shouldnt it? >> it will tell us a lot more than we know at the moment. what will be key is when we find the flight data recorder and then we cross refer what we hear on th...

It shows there is debris in the mountains. number one, 80 minutes into the flight, if that report proves to be correct -- 80 minutes into the flight, they were reporting a problem almost immediately from takeoff. you could solve a lot of problems in that period of time. what does it go to tell you as a pilot if you have a problem early and youre in the air on 80 minutes. >> he didnt deviate off of course during that time hes referencing. >> we need to wait and see if he did deviate. at this poin...

Things into motion. if theres a squawk code thats put in there by the pilot at 7600, that would be a communication theres an engine failure and the radio package has failed. that would signal to air traffic control they have to clear all aircraft away from them. if there was a squawk code of 7700, it would be a signal of an emergency. now think about this. a click to talk on the radio systems, which is right here with the autopilot and also with the flight management system, it would take just a...

While the plane was in the air? >> well, for accidents that happen while the aircraft is in the air, you can count them on the fingers of your hands. recent ones. everything from rapid decompression to fire to some kind of -- and we dont expect this here because of the controlled descent and the air speed maintained but some kind of an engine problem where you have an engine failure, you lose your air speed from your engines for some reason. it can happen for a lot of things. it can happen with ...

Were going to go to rene marsh in a second. i want to go to les abend for a second to give us insight into what tom just showed us. >> the altitude is one thing. it did start a descent. the descent to me did not seem radical until that one point that weve discussed a little bit earlier with reference to it being at 10,000 feet but that could have been the lack of dada. whats curious to me is decrease in air speed. if tom is correct and that data decreased about 100 miles per hour from 500 to 400...

Feet which makes me curious again. this is a lot of conflicting data from all sorts of sources so we dont really know. its hard to say at this point in time. engine failure is something we train for all the time. you wont be able to maintain 38,000 feet with an engine failure. >> so engine failure in a mountainous region is different from engine failure -- >> yes. knowing they have flown this route on many occasions, they understand the terrain beneath them and my particular airline has escape r...

♪ ♪ transportation safety board has issued a summary of the plane crash that injured actor harrison ford last week. but it doesnt point to what caused the engine failure of fords vintage world war ii plane, forcing it to crash into a golf course in santa monica. as for fords condition, his son, ben, has tweeted that his father is battered but okay. a new incident involving a laser pointed at airplanes, this time over la guardia airport. three pilots suffered eye injuries. >> airport inve...

And he clipped a tree coming down, and according to the ntsb and perilously crosse to making it back to the runway and maybe hitting the tree may have made the decision of landing and bringing it down to relatively safe land manage the golf course was a good one. >> you know, i want to lis ep miles and david, to the air traffic control audio and then talk about it. >> 53718, engine failure, requesting immediate return. >> clear to land. >> go to three. >> 53178, clear to land. >> and you can hea...

That. is that the right call? >> every pilot has to make that decision themselves. when you have an engine failure in a plane like this it turns into a glider. you have to know how long you can fly before the airplane is going to land if you like it or not. 3,000 feet is a good amount of time. in my cockpit i can look at a point on the ground and pick it and say i will move there. if it moves up in my wind speed i will not make it. so i will pick the closest suitable place to put it down. it sou...
