Time. theyre limited by their number of cycles, how many times they talk off and land, the airframe itself. but the engine themselves go for refurbishment on a very strict schedule. if the airline is following those rules, old is kind of a term that is a little different than your old car. >> because sometimes theyll put in new engines, right? >> absolutely. engines get changed out, things get refurbished. to say a plane is 29 years old, there are probably very few things on it 29 years old exce...

Especially the engine probably, because it may give us insight as to how this unfolded. it appears to have unfolded quickly. peach tree dekalb airport, where they took off, from is about a mile away if that. whatever happened, happened very fast. they came down on the highway, and it appears they hit the center median. as you already saw from that home video, i believe, just incredible fire. there would have been a lot of fuel for the flight. and there was heavy black smoke and not a whole lot t...

Part of what theyre doing now is going back and looking between areas, as they make the swaths. going back to make sure they didnt miss anything because it would be tragic to increase that search without knowing that you completely exhausted that search area the initial one. so theyre doing that. theyre very committed to. these are challenging things challenging side challenging depth of the ocean. talking an area the size of illinois here. now were doubling that. now we have two illinoises next...

The mind which get every single piece of wreckage we can, until were sure we can narrow the scope of our investigation and search. jon: the french government was out almost immediately saying, terrorism was not a likely cause. do you share that belief? >> you know, it is very, very early on. i know one of the things that having watched you as wonderful to see is that you dont spend too much time speculating before the facts are in and i think that right now theres no real indication that there w...

Worked with a major airline. that curious, and, number two, wondering about monitoring someone, going from u.s. kuwait egypt, turkey alarm bells. >> brooke, id have to agree with that veteran. this man was part of the air force pre- 9/11. a lot of procedures have changed and a lot of air frames have changed, so his military experience is probably less important. he did have knowledge of aircrafts. he had information, according to investigators, photographs on his plane of airplanes and things li...

The forms on the airframe thats what breaks the plane up. >> terrifying thought, richard quest, david gallo, david sau see. thank you, set your dvr to watch "ac360" anytime you like. why some walk away from crashes that often kill other adults. later, youll see what is in this box. a remarkable story thats not been seen since 1855. it was opened today of the man who opened it ahead tonight on the program.

Washington this morning. thank you. i want to talk more about the search for flight 8501 with former inspector general of the u.s. department of transportation mary schiavo, im also joined by thomas altschuler the vice president of teledine marine system which is helps locate planes. welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. thomas i want to start with you because your company makes an underwater suv that might be used in this search. can you tell us more about that? >> so what w...

We see the bodies of some of the passengers some of them are not fully clothed. is that evidence that it didnt break up in the air? >> yes. or at least -- did it completely destruct in the air? no. thats evidence it didnt destruct like an explosion, literally like mh17 literally come apart. its highly likely that parts may have come off the aircraft as it came down particularly if it was in a deep stall and there were some extreme stresses on the airframe. then parts of the aircraft may have com...

>> how do you mean? >> not associated with the explosion. >> how do you mean? >> once the aircraft is incapacitated in flight, it begins a fall, and the stresses of gravity and air speed and the stresses being exerted on the fuselage itself will cause parts of the aircraft to depart from the main stay of the airplane. this is why you see wing sections in different locations, tail section in different locations, the engines are in different locations. and all of that will have to be gathered toge...
