questions. and in this the focus is very intense. these 450 relatives asked very pointed questions, very methodical questions of these officials and executives. studying the information so carefully they ve had 14 days to go over it. all right, that s pauline chiou in beijing. we re having a hard time with the connection. pauline has been spending so much time with these families who were briefed by officials from malaysia today. finally. agony for them, waiting and waiting. as pauline was saying, they ve been asking very technical questions. they want to know where the nearest islands are, if those islands have been searched, they want to know about flight patterns, flight arcs, what satellites are seeing what, what new satellites can be deployed. it s clear they re following every twist and turn here and grasping for any concrete piece of evidence that may explain what s happened. and pauline s been spending so much time with them. we ll get back to her as soon as
fox news alert on that missing malaysian flight. brand-new information out just as we began this show. we found out that files were deleted from the pilot s home flight simulator, which by the way, he constructed. can those flight patterns be recovered? and what would it tell investigators? joining russ commercial pilot and flight instructor philip and john hansman. first off on the information i just told you, start with you, john. what does it mean to you? well, we got to see what files there were that were deleted. it could be something innocent enough, like he had a memory problem on his computer and he was trying to get the memory down. but i think what people are concerned about or looking for are files that would indicate
what does that suggest? he was not in control of the aircraft, not to make the call. right. this could be a flight where the heroic passengers, everything is speculation. there are things we do know to that point and the fact there s no wreckage that we can find. so catastrophic, probably, and if it went down at 35,000 feet barrelling into the ocean, there may not be anything left, broken up completely or a bomb midair, same thing. and the black box is due amiss. electronic signal, over the sea, it would be harder to find. more on this story throughout the morning. we ll have experts here who know a lot about this exact type of aircraft and the types of flight patterns as well. we have other stories making headlines on your sunday morning. we ll get to those. happening overnight, a major scare at six flags in san antonio, texas. two people rescued from the park pandemonium roller coaster. it stranded rider 50s feet in the air. no one was injured and the investigation is under
were shut down. the subway stations. but we ve also been told that the d.c. airport, washington reagan national airport just across the river from the navy yard has also temporarily suspended operations because of the flight patterns being so near the helicopters over the building. i ve just been handed a note that washington hospital center is receiving the wounded from the navy yard but they don t have any numbers yet to tell us about people who may have been brought to them. help us to understand the scene because you re talking about all the different places that are either shut down or on alert including concerns about the air traffic because of the helicopters coming in. we have a very cursory map that we ve been showing but where is the navy yard in relation to other things that people would know, like capitol hill, like the white house. reporter: all right. so there s the map that shows the navy yard. if we can put that on full screen it will be a little easier for all of u
white house. the initial ones i think caused tremendous damage are the ones that came from the white house a year ago. gregg: you say they came from the white house. now you are not only head of the homeland security. have you personally seen any evidence that the white house disseminated classified information? there is information that came that could only have come from the white house. for instance, as far as the flight patterns of the helicopters use, just in terms seal team 6, that came from the administration. that is probably the biggest leak of all which created that was initial leak that has caused more damage than anything else. potential damage to seal team members. you talk to these people, navy seals. that should never have been disclosed.
