Container, the plane comes apart by the explosive decompression. the plane is not going to continue to fly. >> coming up, the story of a woman who chose to run toward the sound of the guns on friday night. in paris. can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? come on, wake up!!! come on, why ya sleepin? come on! >>what time is it? its ...

Aircraft or the sound of the aircraft going through what we call an explosive decompression. >> reporter: but u.s. officials tell nbc news that intelligence intercepts reveal isis fighters in sinai promising something big before the crash, then bragging just after it to their leaders in syria that they had taken down the plane. the growing suspicion that it might be a bomb has convinced russia to stop all flights to egypt. 50,000 russian tourists now in sharm el sheikh where the plane took off. ...

Combustion. you get flame and smoke which inevitably leaves its mark on the aircraft in the wreckage when it is inspected. the other kind of explosion which is very, very rare which may well have happened in this case is called an explosive decompression of the plane which is kind of a clean explosion. you get no flame, no smoke, and if you think of the cabin of the plane as a tube with a lid on the end of it, and if the tail end of that plane -- lid on the tail end of that plane -- you get an e...

Just as its supposed to. but something else expands, too, those cracks in the 737s fuselage. suddenly, theres an explosive decompression. its force is so powerful, a flight attendant is sucked out of the plane. >> i saw what i think was the stewardess feet as she was being sucked out of the plane. magazines, briefcases, shoes, you name it, anything that wasnt tied down was going out that hole. >> an 18-foot section of the plane is gone. passengers sitting nearby can see the sky above and the oce...

Pieces that are lighter. the interior of the aircraft, the seat cushions, some of the other debris that would be very light and have buoyancy to them. they will float and follow the sea and wind current patterns. again, depending on whether it broke up in the air or whether it broke up upon impact would scatter the debris field in a different way and expand the search or contract the search area. however, this particular part, depending on its physical condition and microscopic examination and s...

Apparently to use the restroom, that someone else must be in that cockpit. the ceo of lufthansa was saying that thats not something he thinks they should change though they will be looking into it. >> i find it absolutely remarkable. i can see no reason why you wouldnt have a second flight crew member a flight attendant, someone who is with the airlines in with the single pilot who is responsible for hundreds of lives. can you always suffer a medical event when youre alone. there could be an exp...

There could be explosive decompression as a result of some structural failure of the aircraft. everything flies around thats not tied down. it physically feels like its punched. its a physical event. if thats happened we expect the aircraft to have defuated deviated left to right. this is indication of some software failure in which there was an uncommanded control descent or perhaps incapacitation of some type for some reason whether through criminal intent by a crew member or passenger or by s...

Been fully maintained. something thats happened at 38,000 feet -- as far as kploefb decompression -- explosive decompression, you cant rule out the possibility of a terrorist bomb. its a possible. although theyre treating it as an accident at the moment. the aircraft obviously hit in one piece and broke up because as somebody else said just before it is not scattered over a wide area which it would have been had it broken up at high altitude. it hit the ground at high speed and totally disintegr...

Trying to understand what the particular noises were. could it be a power up we simply dont know. what we do know and what mikey kay has very credibly reviewed is a that this aircraft didnt offer any distress signals and descended in a controlled fashion. between 38 and 42,000 feet the pilots have only a few seconds to don their oxygen masks if theres an explosive decompression, for example. did that happen? could that have happened? that is one possible scenario. we dont want to suffer from inv...

So this is a widely used and very reliable aircraft. >> its a great plane. it has one of the best safety records of any airplane ever built. its a great machine. >> and how do you explain the fact that there was no automated distress signal, they were flying at 38,000 feet as francis francisryiry ver va was just showing us and descended over the course of nine or ten minutes in an orderly progression. >> that descent rate is really very ordinary. its about the same rate that would happen on a no...
