Although at the time the plane went down, there were seven other flights in the same area. so essentially, there is no seriously good working theory. bad weather thats about the main theory. >> as we know planes dont just drop out of the air. perhaps there are a confluence of events. bad weather, human error and number of things that could have gone wrong to create essentially the perfect storm that led to that airline disappearing. all right, terry, thank you for that update. i will be speaking...

Collision or causing a diversion at that point. so at this point, even if it was an emergency, someone needs to communicate with the air traffic controllers and say were going off of our intended flight. that didnt happen and its very concerning. >> were looking at different factors, peter, weather being one. you have the possibility of technical difficulties human error. judging by other issues what is the likelihood its human error? >> accidents in general are a chain of events. you break the ...

Need to figure out. >> and typically youre looking at other things like human error or perhaps mechanical failure that coincided or resulted from bad weather, right? >> right. generally weather can be a factor in an investigation. it could be a factor as far as cause but its generally not -- in transport category aircraft its not going to be the sole factor. but weve learned a lot over the years. there were phenomena-like wind shear that we had to understand. we still have wind shear but its abo...

Decree -- the aircraft, the floating debris they know the winds and currents, thatll lead us back, hopefully, to the submerges debris, the pingers which will take us to the two black boxes is what we really need to solve this accident. yes, the transponder data is very handy, but what we really need is what went on in the cockpit and what control inputs were being made. trace: we were just talking early, doctor, about the fact that planes just dont sum my fall -- simply fall out of the sky, and ...

They have all these backups built into the planes system so you also have human error so whether someone can adequately troubleshoot a situation in the air, which is an emergency, which is under high pressure so i think a lot more training in that regard would probably be very helpful. >> i think thats going to be the case, when we figure it all out, joe. heres the thing, at 32,000 feet, they sent out a call, we want to go to 38000 feet. then they go off radar. it seems like they were already in...

Planes on order. absolutely amazing. but in this competition they seem to get lighter, great materials materials, all these things to get us faster are great but are we sacrificing debris as safety in this great race? >> not for the most part. the new carbon fiber airplanes are proven and tested. we have the new dreamliner out all the stuff coming up. >> these are all positive contributions. but it all comes down to training. you have to train the pilots and they have to be trained in the basics...

Instruments on the airplane. we remember back in june of 2009, air france flight 447, that devastating tragedy that took place, the final outcome that was determined by the air line industry in france, was that this particular plane was downed because of inconsistencies in the speed of the airplane. here is why . the thunder storms that can inevitably travelled through were so high in the atmosphere gnat particles of the cloud in the thunder storm were cold enough to be frozen. we had ice partic...
