Page 2 - Ground Controllers News Today

Lines. these could be ground controllers calling in air strikes or advisers up there helping them take the fight to isis, that would put, if the president approves these options, much closer to combat. and the danger now on the ground there, not just combat from isis, et cetera, but you have russian war planes in the air, bombing really anyone who threatens the regime of bashar al assad, that includes some forces that the u.s. supports on the ground. its a very dangerous theater and we saw that ...

Thats exactly what that special forces operator did mortally wounded in this attack. you see more of these, may not be a masked round exercise like we saw during the invasion of iraq but certainly danger and ill tell you, anderson, there are people in the pentagon pushing for more roles for u.s. combat forces such as ground controllers or deployed military advisors but that decision stays with the president. >> terrible loss of an american hero. thank you very much. its been more than 12 years s...

But im talking about ground controllers and pilots and aircraft that are moving at the speed of sound, in excess of that, and potentially going after similar targets. we dont have any experience with that. >> similar but different, theres weird alignment. the yat and its allies are targeting isis inside syria. >> right. >> the russians, sure, theyll target isis, i imagine, if theyre nearby, but theyll also target anyone else fighting against the assad regime. those dont exactly line up. >> they ...

May be affected? >> you probably will not have a problem. if youre flying jetblue or frontier or southwest or american today or delta, chances are your flight is going to be operating as it should today. there may be some minor delays that you are caught up in just because if you have a serious congestion problem out on the ramp, the ground controllers are trying to navigate planes around. that could impact your flight even though your computer system at jetblue or southwest is not affected. jus...

Lasted for ten minutes, even longer than first reported. >> they had reached the cruising altitude for a while, 38,000 feet, so around 9:30, the last message emitted by the plane issued by the plane to the control center was a routine message confirming the instructions given by the control center which was it was authorized to continue on to the point you see. >> everything absolutely normal. radar records show thats when normal ended. ten-minute descent that was controlled as investigators put...

To do with the crash directly. >> the indonesian ministry of transport are investigating right now what happened here. but potentially there could be criminal investigations if in fact this plane took off just because it took off even though it was licensed to fly on that day -- >> possibly. but you have the air traffic controls the ground controllers, the pilot all assuming that that administrative detail has been handled or they wouldnt be on the schedule to fly that day. the safety question i...

"state of the union" begins right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. im dana bash and this is "state of the union" and breaking news this sunday and it is hard to believe that we are saying it again, but an urgent search is under way again for a missing jet that has vanished. this time it is a airasia jet that lost c...

And grow from there, consolidate their wins. you also have a very, very large force of iraqi security, army and police in baghdad that would prevent any kind of maneuver or action like we saw in mosul, tikrit, and some of the other places. >> so lets talk about what were seeing today. iraqi military carrying out these air strikes on four isis targets in mosul. is that an effective strategy? >> i dont think so. first of all, the iraqi air force is very limited in their capability. they have small...

Conspiracy theories. one theory is did the plane get hijacked, did it land in diego garcia. was it shot down by the military base in diego garcia in the indian ocean. with the lack of answers come those conspiracy theories. as wild as they sound, families are latching on to that. >> more on that later. but my question to you now is, why are malaysian officials keeping secret the recordings between the cockpit and the ground controllers? the families arent allowed to listen to it. why is that? >>...

Receiving. this is not the uninterrupted voice cockpit recording that you would hope to have later from one of the black boxes. so thats a little bit different. secondly n. terms of stress, its an acknowledgement that the co-pilot is making his first ride without a checked pilot and hes riding with a very experienced captain who he may look up to and want to impress. so the idea of being nervous in that situation, it may not reveal. you would expect a certain degree of stress, just the situation...
