By having the autopilot on for a period of time when the accident initially happened they had already connected the autopilot as part of their procedure. once the engine failure occurred then they disconnected the autopilot. now they have that. theyve identified the wrong engine and now the air speed is slowing down to the point where the airplane does what we call an aerodynamic stall. and with no power, its lucky, with the video that youre seeing that buildings werent hit as opposed to the aqu...

Little cathartic. but the damage is done. anyone who says he has a risk of ruining the party, it has been ruined. read the spanish language newspapers. this is dominating the conversation. the damage has been done. and if youre are a republican candidate to be the nominee and to win, be worried about this. >> hes gone from 3% in the national poll in may to 12% in second place. again, the trend is clear. you dont like the message. but if you do campaign strategy for a living and are advising the ...

He is channeling elizabeth warren. he is channeling that wing. party who hillary has not spoken to. >> can i speak if only as a badger. i went to madison. you can get 10,000 people for a very left wing person. i love bernie sanders. who knows, i could vote for him. but you can turn out 10,000 people for a progressive in madison. >> that doesnt explain the 5,000 in iowa the 3,000 in new hampshire. >> those are decent crowds. >> to obamas point, there is a movement out there on the democratic side...

Way we have seen it happen john. that was a simplistic take on what was a very complicated dynamic situation. when you go into a thunderstorm any pilot worth his salt, the first thing they do is put on continuous ignition. in other words, its like turning the car key on your car consistently in case it stalls. this is too avoid just what were talking about, a flameout of the engines. yes, icing im certain was probably in the mix here somehow but its somewhat colonel christensen was saying there ...

Plane on his own. were not certain this is a staugs situation. we have a lot of conflicting data. its possible we had a dual engine flame out, where the captain was trying to control the airplane in a situation that involves severe turbulence. >> could he guide the plane down? >> absolutely. any airplane is designed whether it has a motor or not flies and this airplane is designed to fly on no engines. he indeed could do that. however, im troubled by the fact a mayday call never came out. he wou...

Im you. >> more than three years after a spectacular flame-out in the 2010 delaware senate race, tea party darling, christine odonnell is declaring victory. not for herself but for the movement that catapulted her into a national race. and in an interview with the delaware news journal yesterday odonnell announced moderate republicans and rye know rye knows are extinct and candidates are more understanding. i think the movement has been very successful. by way of proof, she offered even people o...

>> what i just really would love to get a sense of is, as mitch is going through this, if he could just talk us through just how difficult it is to enter the glide. obviously when the engines flame out, run out of fuel, what hes doing when hes entering the glide. what speed hes coming back to for maximum glide efficiency. just the talk down of altitude. how quick it is. as hes flaring to get on to the ocean, all those sort of type of sound bites would be really useful just to give the viewers a ...

Simultaneously. theyre drawing off of separate fuel tanks. usually the left engine goes first. either in the process of the flame-out of the one engine, you would have had an electrical disturbance. or this windmill device drops out of the plane. its basically a tur -- turbine. that would cause some sort of voltage distur dance or pike. that could be reawakened the transmission enough to say, hello. >> i think this is what the french satellite saw on sunday. this is what we now agree could be a ...

One of the potential explanations that have is that as the plane runs out of gas, runs out of fuel, both engines dont quit at the same time. one will quit and then the other one will quit. if there were a scenario where the -- what happens, of course, when you lose one engine is the electrical bus distribution changes. generating system changes. that could have caused some sort of electrical spike which could have caused this device to try to wake up and check in and perhaps by the time the, you...

Everybody was with me. >> we had things to do. and i think that makes a big difference. ive always felt that certainly the flight attendants and passengers in back would have had a lot more fear than us because they had nothing to do. >> water ditchings are rare, but there have been several more than just flight 1549 and a.l.m. 980. january 2002, a boeing 737 operated by garuda indonesia airways flies into severe thunderstorms, and both engines flame out. after three unsuccessful attempts to res...
