A way it might not matter in other walks of life. you can bet, yeah, extra steps to make sure that sort of thing cant happen again. >> tsa folks i deal with all the time are topnotch. seth, before i let you go are you a big "star wars" fan? >> yeah excited about that plane, right, they are going to paint it in "star wars" over in japan. yep. >> seth, thank you, buddy, good to see you. >> you got it jose. coming up on "the rundown," more on that exclusive interview with robert bates as he tells...

Now to another aviation hot topic trending right now. just when you thought airline seats couldnt get any smaller, passengers on some airbus planes may feel a bit more of a squeeze. manufacturers preparing to add an extra chair to each row. in economy class, 11 seats across and not ten. joining me now is managing partner with "airline weekly," seth caplan. tell us about this seats arent small enough lets add another one. >> this is the most visible example yet, but not the only one of a trend a ...

If wed gone abroad. instead of nine seats across, lets go to ten. because that plane is more narrow, thats even less elbow room than the 8380 are going to have. >> is this the largest plane, period, among the largest planes? >> it is jose. if youve been to some of the largest airports in america, you might have seen this plane. it has two decks all the way across, not just like on the older 747s where you see a little bit of a second deck. it can hold in some cases in excess of 600 passengers. a...

had no intention of killing him. in the meantime now questions surround bates training and reporting from the tul "tulsa world" that alleges those papers were falsified. first, heres robert bates with family and attorney earlier this morning on "today." >> mr. bates, i want to talk about your training about your training records in a second but i want you to take me back to april 2, the day this happened. you were not supposed to be actively involved in the arrest of mr. harris you w...

Hurry. the western world didnt find out what was on them until ten years later when the break-up of the soviet union occurred. >> there are shades of that in the stories we are getting now from the scene of the accident. thank you, bob hager and seth caplan. up next, the world is angry and fingers are pointed at one man -- vladimir putin.

Welcome back to "hardball." more now on the investigation into what happened to malaysian air flight 17. president obama called for an international inquiry. thats easier said than done since the site of the crash is in a war zone. international investigators trying to explore the site met with hostility by the local rebels in charge today. said they werent granted access nor did they have freedom of movement. they said they would need to negotiate for more time tomorrow. how can the world find ...

released intercepted phone calls between pro russian are separatists talking about the atta attacks. nbc news has not confirmed their authenticity. all 298 people aboard were killed in the deadliest aviation incident since 9/11. among the victims were 80 children. also a number of the worlds top aids activists and reare searchers on their way to a conference in australia. at least one victim was american. the majority, 189 passengers in all came from the netherlands. today that country...

The suicide theory doesnt make sense either. we dont have a motive but maybe it is because the police havent finished their investigation. motive in any crime, is just as important as opportunity. we dont have a motive. if it was pilot suicide, why ply for seven hours. presumably, the co-pilot and others would have picked something up. im not willing to rule out the possibility of a mechanical failure. we know the transponder has been turned off. we just dont know why. >> most people think if it...

Addition, that was in some sort of trouble could have landed unscathed on some remote island going undetected, very unlikely. could it have crashed somewhere on land? we draw a circle drawing the radius of where it could have traveled during all those hours we dont know where it was. certainly, plausible that it could have been somewhere on land but more likely in water, only because there is more water. again, if you just sort of look where the plane could have gone down and because much harder...

We dont know where it was. certainly plausible that it could have been somewhere on land but more likely in water because there is more water. again, if you look over to where the plane could have gone down. much harder to have something like that go undetected. to protect the scale of the mystery hear, and the, what the investigators are facing trying to find it. consider that air france 447 went down off brazil. we knew more or less where it went down. there was debris floating not long after....
