Using gps tracking like we do with trucks and taxi cabs, because right now we use conventional radar to track the progress of an aircraft and given the fact the radar in that area is spotty and unreliable, that is an option that is affordable, then capturing that data is another means, but that may not actually give us the actual location of the airplane, but gps tracking could. >> what is your expertise telling you at this point, the way of tracking down this airliner at this point? >> i think ...

Body of water. the gulf of thailand, the strait between malaysia and vietnam, heavily trafficked, much more heavily trafficked than that stretch of the atlantic ocean they found air france in. whats similar here? whats similar is there was very little in the way of radar data on this flight, 370. and there was nothing in the radar data on 447. they had to piece together what was the last-known position and do mathematical calculations. >> all right. tom costello, quite the mystery. and as we fou...

Today several new clues including a floating object spotted in the gulf of thailand. search boats expected to arrive at that site in hours. radar data indicates the plane actually turned around before vanishing. they are asking crews to refocus our search on the left in that map. and now new questions about suspicious passports on that flight. interpol exam inning additional suspect passports in connection with miss iing passports. passengers were traveling on stolen passports.

Have rendered the airplane incapacitated. whatever happened happened very, very quickly. for them to have lost two-way radio communication with atc, two-whey radio communication with the company and to lose any kind of radar data with ground control facilities means that that airplane was comp pro miszed in a very quick manner. and it may have been well beyond the control of the crew to keep the airplane under control and make any kind of emergency distress call or emergency landing. >> all righ...

Data recorder data, the radar data. thats the data thats recorded from the air traffic control radar system here in birmingham, and other data sources. then ill speak to you about that in jauchust a moment. well be pulling all of these sources of data together to create a composite picture, a composite and accurate picture, of what happened. what happened to this airplane. id like to now turn our attention to the, to the airport itself. yesterday i mentioned that there was to be a flight check t...

Come across an aircraft part that has not been recovered, we would like to know about it. our e-mail address for receiving that information would be, please contact us as witness@ntsb.gov. and were hearing from the national transportation safety board, new clue whats could have throwed that u.p.s. plane crash there in birmingham, alabama. as we heard him say there was a sink rate alert in the moment bright that crash. that means some sort of alert to the pilot and copilot the plane was going t...

Responders on the airport property. some of that weve already talked about yesterday. i have seen and heard some reports about a 4,000-per-minute -- 4,000-foot-per-minute descent rate. they have reviewed the radar data. and the group that reviewed the initial faa radar data have indicated that theres no abnormally steep descent curve thats been detected in the data that they have. our power plants team has conducted an on-scene examination of the two engines. they indicate those preliminary eval...

Physical evidence recorded data and aerodynamic models. >> she said interesting things. she started by addressing pilot error which so many analysts said might have caused the crash. she said they will begin looking at fatigue and make sure all of the pilots had the right amount of sleep leading up to this. she said they reviewed the radar data and show there was no be a normally steep drop of the plane coming in. so well continue listening to this press conference and bring you any of the headl...

Information, the radar data, atc information, and the flight data recorder parameters and also interview the plights. its really important to put all you have the pieces of the puzzle together, to not just understand what happened, but understand why it happened so we can prevent accidents like this occurring in the future. >> sure. i can understand that it be less important that the pilot may have been come in at too steep a angle and that too slow of a pace. and you need to know why that is so...

Aircraft or training of crew members, and even passengers. and we cant stress this enough. many accidents are survivable. its about knowing where those exits are and listening to the flight crew in an emergency situation. very important. >> and let me ask you. i hope you heard our richard quest, who reported that the flight data that hes seen shows a plane that is coming in too steep, the angle of it, and too slowly for that runway. what does that tell you? >> well, you know, were going to have ...
