Air traffic control way point. this was a 777, a boeing 777-200. extended range plane. that is commonly used for these long routes going from europe to asia or the united states to europe. the united states to asia. very commonly used. and we should also make the point that, of course, this is coming 4 1/2 months after malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared on the flight to beijing. all evidence right now, according to those who are looking for that plane, continues to suggest that the plane d...

Ground has to radio in the position, and somebody in the aircraft has to write it down and then enter into the weapon, itself, so was a number transpose odder a mistake made or who knows, and it could have been mechanical error or some kind of faulty bomb or guidance system or whatever, but again, that probably wont be known until the investigation is completed. >> all right. jim miklaszewski, thank you for your reporting. >> yes, kristen. and right now, a member of the armed services committe...

Us. richard, weve talked a lot about this indonesian radar issue. theyve been very quiet, all 17 countries have responded; but not them. go ahead. >> a.p. reported on march the 17th that indonesia military said they had no trace of mh370 on the night. and not only that, indonesia said theyve handed over all the data requested to malaysia. so, although they have been very quiet, i think we have to agree theyve not exactly been at the forefront of this, they have said they have no trace of mh370, ...

Initiate a dive down to a habitable altitude so that the people can survive. and the pilots oxygen bottles last a lot longer than the folks in the back. and this was a two-man crew, so they could conceivably fly at a higher altitude for quite a bit. >> before? >> before the -- before they passed out. >> matt, you know, if there is something going on that was mechanical or decompression, i mean, even chat between the two pilots, you know, even like they are scared or what they were doing, if it h...

Everyone is focusing on mechanical error. why isnt anyone focus canning on human error on the part of the pilot. im sorry, could it be pilot error? im getting ahead of myself. >> you could always say that pilot error could contribute to a crash. i dont think this evidence points to that a graet great deal. i dont know that the pilots made a mistake that made the crash. thats another one of those ideas. >> mary schavio, i was trying to give jim your question here. i will give it to you now. this ...

Are writing a program to teach math and science for flying as a visual learning tool. >> beautiful. kids love to learn through these types of devices. this is a good one? jays pretty impressive. >> yeah, he is. >> thank you for giving us an understanding of how the data retrieval works, when would you delete and otherwise. very important based on what investigators doing. david, you will stay with us of course. mick? >> thanks so much, chris. going to take a short break. professional pilots ca...

Have been trying to find, okay, if that happened, then this may have happened and that may have happened, it has made a very frustrating thing out of what should be a lot easier to deal with in terms of its investigation. >> the thing i would also mention at this point is that we have to look back at the air france 447 flight. the way that untranspired, i dont think anyone could predict. it feeds dynamic pressure to the indicator which acted as an all tim ter. they throttled back and entered int...
