Investigation goes along. theres more of that kind of an investigation than your traditional aircraft accident investigation. >> and would you -- you remember going in there trying to see different ways to investigate. at least there was some idea that it would be safe to go there. it looks like we lost one of our shots there. but the safety concerns, bob, of sending folks in. at this point do you think ntsb is making a mistake? >> i dont know what value theyre going to be there on the scene. i ...

We know what brought the aircraft down, there really is no investigation. this is not the conventional investigation that an ntsb would conduct where were looking for a mechanical malfunction or failure of the aircraft or pilot operation. we know what brought it down, so the expertise that the ntsb is going to bring to this investigation is really pointless because it is more of a criminal act and so the fbi and the national security folks are really the ones that are going to be key to looking ...

vladimir putin to deescalate things, considering the role that russia may have played in this incident. as we said right now, the top priority is the crash site and the investigation. this morning emergency workers and police officers are searching through the wreckage scattered across a six-mile area in eastern ukraine. a ukrainian official says 181 bodies have been located so far. earlier today an aide to one pro-russian rebel leader said they had recovered the planes blacks boxes, a...

Airliner versus what they believe to be a military cargo airplane or a perceived threat. >> greg, please sit tight. were going to turn to andrea mitchell, host of "andrea mitchell reports" here on msnbc. >> what just a dreadful situation. we dont know the cause but its terribly suspicious and we know what petro poroshenko is reporting. >> lets talk about the foreign policy background. president obama spoke with putin

they reported very quickly on that this plane was shot down. there has not been any information about whether there was a mechanical problem. they say it was shot down. they should know. so youll probably get more information from them maybe releasing a tape. second of all, the u.s. intelligence agencies, as told by jim nbc to determine where is originated. this is flight mh-17. 295 people on board. it pushed back from the gate in amsterdam at 6:15. it took off at 6:30, bound for kuala...

jacobs. i want to go first to you, justin. looking at what we know now, which is not a lot, we know it went down and where it went down. there is a lot of speculation about why it was shot down. >> youre absolutely right. we dont know very much right now. the worst thing you can do is jump to conclusions about what caused the plane to be shot down. i remind everyone about twa 800. it was not a missile shoot-down. it remains to be seen. who is responsible for the investigation, whether ...

That it was first heard friday, but it was discounted, because there were a number of ships in the area, and they thought it was perhaps another sound from another ship. then, today, they say they heard it for about a minute and a half, and it was at regular one-second intervals, which would seem to be consistent with the ping that came from a black box. and, of course, the frequency would seem to be consistent. but i think there have been so many false leads so far in this search that here in a...

With the plane? >> absolutely, alex. one of the things that -- were a month into it. we know how violent the ocean is in that particular area. and even though this new search area isnt as volatile as further south where we were a couple, three weeks ago, the fact is that i would really, really be cautious with finding any kind of debris anywhere near this signal, especially after a month. because the ocean is moving and its moving at a pretty good clip in that particular part of the world. i wou...

detected a pulse signal in the south indian ocean. chinese-run agency, shenhua, says this morning, the ship detected the signal coming in, which is standard on the planes black boxes. nbc news has been unable to independently verify this information, so far there is no confirmation the pulse is linked to the missing plane. also claims to show white floating objects spotted by military aircraft in the search area. again, nbc news has not been able to verify these photos. the australian ...
