Anyone really thought it was even going to be two weeks ago. >> john ostrower, thank you very much. richard, lets come back to you quickly. you said that yesterday. is there anything with this partial ping today slightly change your thinking? all we can go on is each piece of new information. >> and im in the middle. nefarious but i can also see the evidence for mechanical. and i can argue as john just said, i can knock each one of those down. what i do want to point out is that if you look at t...
