Prohibited from talking to the families under annex 13 of the iko, international civil aviation organization. >> reporter: a lawsuit could force the manufacturer to turn over information about its aircraft. with the plane still missing, some say the families dont have a case at least against the boeing company. >> youre not going to be able to bring a claim against boeing without the wreckage or the black box. just not possible. >> reporter: these aviation attorneys are clearly not optimistic th...

Something to point out, too, this aircraft did have communication. we did have the way to track it. what happened was that the transponder was turned off. if the transponder had stayed on, wed still have tracking information. it was either turned off or it failed or there was something that took it out. i think theres something overlooked. yes, i believe streaming data needs to happen, constant surveillance needs to happen. but thats also part of the next gen program coming up with the faa in th...

Of experts here. arthur rosenberg, the families of plight flight, the passengers they have gotten few answers about what happened six weeks ago to their loved ones. can attorneys help with that right now, or will they be more concerned about lawsuits? >> an attorneys job is a little different than trying to get these people information. i actually thought about this a little bit today on how we can give these people the information which they so desperately need. this is what i came up with. the...

>> lets get the latest from cnns richard quest and cnn aviation analyst mary schiavo joining us. richard, you were at the press conference and asked authorities to release the preliminary report. what did they tell you? >> reporter: first of all, under the iko, the international organization that governs all civil aviation, i wanted to know under the rules, they were supposed to provide a report to iko within 30 days. so my question was simple. it was have you provided a report? if you have, wil...

Going to change the way planes fly, the way data is handled and the way aircraft is tracked. >> just as really every crash, every horrific incident like this has had an impact on the industry. >> this will be much greater. >> really? >> yes. because quite often you change minor technicality, some procedure or crm management in the cockpit. this will go industry wiechld i will probably go across all forms of metal, the different types of aircraft and fundamental. the issue will be how long before...

Airline can prove it took all reasonable measures to prevent what happened. of course it is impossible show that because it could be mechanical, it could be a breach of security, it could be pilot action. so the airline will be responsible for its passengers. if and when they ever find anything else, usually what happens is they do a full and complete settlement or litigation. a few my opt out and say, no, were going to wait and hold back on just potential finding something mechanical wrong, but...

Country of registry of the aircraft when it goes down in international waters is the lead on the investigation. however, after all the grief that has been going on for the last month, i cant believe that the malaysian government either has the capability or would even want to dare try to handle this themselves. they will most likely call in the australians or the brits or the americans or something to help them with this. >> do you think aircraft in the future should be better monitored? >> oh, ...

Whats the cost of streaming the data? what does iko require us? all these sort of issues. but theres no doubt in my mind, in five years time you and i need to talk again, and im telling you they will have changed the rules. there has to be constant vigilance. they have to know where plane is at all times. >> finally, the significance of these pictures today, were not waiting four days for satellite images thousands of miles up. were actually looking at images taken biplanes over a scene. >> that...

We still do not know the turn, we dont know if it wiggled around indonesia, we dont know anything really about that. and all we now know is that it didnt fly as far because of what happened at the beginning. >> let me ask you something, richard. as a result of this, can we assume at the very least going forward that no plane will ever be able to just disappear again like this? in other words, are the airlines all getting together and saying this is clearly ridiculous what has happened here. desp...

Days. what they did was they said the manufacturer of the device from now on, from 2015 on if youre going to make a new one it does have to be 90 days. but the faa and the iko, any of the other organizations, none of them have said yeah but we have to go back to the 20,000 aircraft that are flying right now and upgrade those. >> interesting. so its only going to be for aircraft after 2015 for 90 days. david gallo, its been 20 days. still not one piece of the plane has been picked up so far. does...
