>> i have never seen an aircraft shout down by a missile, i have to say -- >> thank goodness for that. >> but what i did see was something entirely different than the holes that you see here. they were tight state general. they sliced through these metal. these are not like that. this is puncture of objects going through that aluminum and pushing the aluminum back as it goes through. so the obama other thing i could think of, from the outside that would have caused anything similar, would be the...

This is not engine failure. this is obviously everybodys saying it was shot down. this would indicate a surfa surface-to-air missile. i think surface-to-air missile is probably the best guess right now. >> we talked about this vuk system which is a missile system that russian forces actually travel with. >> right. all of these air defense missiles are mobile in the russian inventory, and they traveled as part of the division equipment that goes everywhere they go. so the russians on the other si...

>> but an investigation by the national transportation safety board finds the crash could have easily been avoided. >> in this case, we obviously had a healthy live pilot to be able to talk to so thats where were going to center in on. >> the ntsb determines the reason for engine failure, pilot error. the pilot ran out of gas and didnt switch over to his reserve fuel tank. >> in the hospital, he came up and i thanked him for saving our lives, because he did. he landed the craft, everybody walked...

Were showing you now. it happened about 75 miles west of imperial. there is a number of bombing ranges and other military training areas. there is a navel airstrip here called el centro. no word yet on the cause of the crash, but it is worth mentioning that it is a single engine jet, and there are emergencies that could happen like an engine failure and it could drop out of the sky like a rock. >> this is an f-18 super hornet. they were attempting a night landing. im showing you video right now ...

>> reporter: just 1s and 0s. >> which contain 1s and 0s. >> reporter: the positions contain up to 2,000 pieces of data from the data recorder itself. its build into a waterproof, wire proof shock proof shell. at the end analysis can be this, an animating representation of a tragedy, this one from a 2010 training flight. two dead after a simulated engine failure went wrong. >> a lot of the symmetry which couldnt be controlled and the aircraft ended up impacting the train. >> youre able to recreat...

2,000 separate pieces from the data recorder alone. high-tech nothing built in to a fireproof, fireproof, shock proof shell. the analysis can be this, an animated representation of a tragedy. this from a 2010 training flight. two dead after a simulated engine failure went wrong. >> the symmetry which couldnt be controlled an the aircraft impacted unfortunately. >> you are able to recreate this thing from the black boxes? >> thats right. this is based on the flight data recorder information. >> r...

Animated representation of a tragedy. this from a 2010 training flight. two dead after a simulated engine failure went wrong. >> the symmetry which couldnt be controlled an the aircraft impacted unfortunately. >> you are able to recreate this thing from the black boxes? >> thats right. this is based on the flight data recorder information. >> reporter: the size of the box is deceptive in some ways the vast majority supports the brain buried deep within. surprisingly small but containing everythi...

The boxes contain a wealth of information, up to 2,000 separate pieces from the data recorder alone. high technology built into a water proof, fireproof, shockproof shell. at the end of this analysis can be this, animated flight, two dead after a single engine failure went wrong. >> a lot of issues couldnt be controlled and the aircraft ended up impacting the train unfortunately. >> and youre able to recreate this thing from the black boxes? >> that is right. this is based on flight data recorde...

Much as you would a usb memory stick. >> reporter: your success rating getting the information off is good. >> yes, weve always been able to uncover the information from the recorders weve received. >> reporter: he is a measured, cautious man. prerequisites for a job that involves not just knowledge but patience, lots of patience. >> from the flight data recorder, we obtain a raw data file. which contains just 1s and 0s. >> reporter: the boxes contain a wealth of information. up to 2,000 separat...
