that is a lot of cat food sort of coming into your neighborhood. they reveal some of the details i think are really interesting. they re talking about a drone. like a octo copter could come in and hover. from there google describe as winch lowering the package down. sounds a little more doable. picture it coming to your front door, i m sure there is some sort of a alert, slowly lower package to you. not the drone coming to your head. they will be at a certain altitude and lower whatever it is on board down to you to hover. bill: they re negotiating with the faa. i can t imagine where these negotiations are going. what can possibly go wrong? working with the government to work this out. bill: riddle me this. helicopters have flight patterns. airplanes have flight patterns. i would assume a drone would have a flight pattern? yes. bill: you fly a certain altitude and hit this point, that point and this point. which leads me to believe you could do this, if you picked a
driving around in these toyota vehicles that this was the vehicle of choice for the jihadi jihadis jihadis. that much hasn t changed. fascinating. what s really intriguing though the u.s. treasury department now investigating toyota on this issue. we ll update our viewers on what we learn. on another sensitive issue right now, congressman, the u.s. as you know for the first time had to divert a military aircraft flying over syria to ensure that it would maintain a safe flying distance from a russian fighter jet. how possible how likely is there could be a miscalculation resulting in a disaster? well it s very possible. and of course this is the chief concern we have in terms of escalating a conflict between the united states and russia. they re not deconflicting these flights with us. they re talking about it. maybe they will at some point. and you can see why. they re going in there bombing moderate rebels. so they don t want to have to come to u.s. planners and say these are
rows reserved for victims inside of the courtroom. the third row back was for members of the general public and that row was also full. so it was a full house with media sitting behind them. but the victims family didn t say anything to reporters afterwards and all in all it was a very dignified and professional, if i can say, proceeding. jamie, thank you so much in charleston. and as always pete williams thank you. and overnight, 11 commercial flights reported being hit by lasering while flying over new jersey. a dangerous threat that can potentially blind pilots. all those planes landed skafly but it did force air traffic controllers to alter approaching flight patterns. american 1472 we ve got a green laser shooting at us right off the left wing about a mile out. american 1472 is there any injury on the aircraft?
lost contact with the singapore airport. the altitude roughly about 32,000 feet. now there are reports that the pilot asked to ascend to around 38,000 feet. and this is crucial. let me explain why. i m going to step off screen here just to show you an image that one of our weather producers have brought up recently for us. and this is what is called a turbulence forecast. it highlights areas where turbulence is expected to take place over various flight patterns across the world. it also reports on current conditions. this is the time, or roughly about the time of the last point of contact, which was roughly about 7:25 sunday morning local time. now, this little box here indicates that there were thunderstorm clouds towering to about 53,000 feet in an area where turbulence was extremely likely. this is java just off the island of where the plane actually took
there s anything they might have to be more careful of, if they need to change altitudes, flight patterns or do anything different than they already do to stay out of the range of potential isis shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles. that s always a big worry. for now, it s our very clear understanding they stay out of the envelope of those missiles. but if something did happen here that brought the plane down, those pilots are going to want to figure out it out quickly. colonel, what does the coalition do now? i m trying to imagine the conversations on the ground, whether they be on aircraft carriers or bases around syria and iraq. what exactly is the plan? stop the sorties, regroup, figure out what the capacities of isis actually are and then go at it hard? i don t think they re going to stop. they need to find out what brought this aircraft down. was it a shootdown or a mechanical problem that brought the aircraft down, either crashing it or bringing it into
