Radar is not clear its not clear whats happened at this point. >> barbara, when we spoke last night you broke the news that you believed american officials were pretty convinced now that this plane had gone down into the indian ocean somewhere. putting together the new revelations weve heard about the trajectory of the plane, about the fact it may have been taken over by one or more people who deliberately tampered with the systems, what can you now tell me with all that also bringing in your in...
