family on a make a wish trip the helicopter they were in loses power. the power for the engine to the main rote tore blades was lost somehow. he did not have any power. the pilot forced to make a hard landing in about 8 feet of crass. the family of six had just started their tour of maui when they ran into mechanical problems. despite the accident they are headed back up in the air for another tour tomorrow. when you wake up in the morning do you maybe listen to an adelle song on youtube perhaps? those days will soon be over. videos like that they are vanishing from the web site. lauren simonetti from the fox business network joins us with those details. good morning heather. songs like this.
tonight. barbara, that is a pretty incredible and unbelievable detail. jaw-dropping, erin. just flat-out jaw-dropping. a one-hour notice. what if the weather had gone bad? what if they had been shot at on the way in? what if that helicopter had run into mechanical problems? no more gin for delay, no margin for error. this is the ultimate of u.s. military leaving no one behind on the battlefield. reporter: bowe bergdahl may have tried to escape his taliban captors on at least two occasions, a u.s. official tells cnn. but until the army can talk to bergdahl directly, they won t know for sure. however, a u.s. official says we do have reason to believe there were times he tried to escape. bergdahl may not yet have fully talked about his five years in taliban captivity, but he is recovering after nearly a week under u.s. military medical care. the pentagon said he is now
boeing if there are any known mechanical problems with boeing 777s. if they re involved in the investigation, i might want to know what they found out? can they give me any information at all? isn t that fair? well, usually what they ask, when other people that i m familiar with, the national air disaster lines has gone to shareholders meeting. they are shareholders. they own stock. they usually ask proactive things. for example, in this one, there s been a lot of issues raised about the plane being impossible to be found. would it be possible for boeing to construct their planes such as, a, you cannot turn off the transponders or b, that this system status messaging, acars cannot be turned off in the future. that seems like a legitimate question that could be asked by a shareholder. mark, i think that would be legitimate. even if boeing put out some sort of statement, it might calm the families. why would that be harmful to boeing in any way? i think the issue is what
i can go back and look at the wings and tell by how they re bent and malshaped. sooner or later, i will break this down to find out if there s any mechanical problems, in this case. there was absolutely no mechanical problems. this aircraft stalled, icing conditions, and it was a human error, and not a mechanical error. when it comes to many plane accidents, do you need to discern if it was human problem or if it was mechanical problems? i would say it s never easy, but i could do the majority of the time, i will come up with probably a 90% to 95% chance of what happened in this aircraft accident. you can do that even if you don t have all the parts? that s a part of the puzzle, if you will, that makes it hard? i will never have all the parts. never. about you the more parts i get, it s like a mosaic. the more bits i can put in the mosaic, the better the picture will be, the better i can come up with an understanding of what happened. and so brooke, when you think about it, t
detection and avoiding air space all before the north before it turned south and flew down to the south china sea where the search vessels are looking for the debris and the flight data recorders right now. this is very significant because it gives investigators a degree more knowledge and information about what was happening onboard that aircraft. we ve been told all along that whoever had taken control of it, whoever was at the controls knew how to fly this aircraft. knew how to fly it well. this is more information that points in that direction. but added in now is the idea that whoever was flying was intentionally, on purpose, trying to avoid detection. now, that s going to tell investigators the mindset and potentially give them clues as to who was at the controls there. victor, christi? nic, does this take off the table, you know, this new route, mechanical problems altogether or is that something they still consider?
