Kids. it is something you dont grow out of. it is something for which there is no magic anecdote. even before they knew about the lead poisoning t. people of flint could tell, as soon as it was switched, they besieged their local officials to the extent they had local officials. they confronted the people who they thought ought to be in charge of these things, immediately. thats the beauty of being an mortgages manager. nobody answers to you. its not a democracy. you are appointed by one man the...

There are now several people being taken into custody by police. basically, the protesters have been confined to the squawk. that is usually when the police come in. theyve been arresting people taking them off one by one. weve seen some monies of the press appear to be taken into custody. we have seen several skirmishes with the police when we are in times square. many of the protesters would link arms to make it difficult for the police officers to single out people for arrest. and in that pus...

This theres unanswered questions. it will be critical to get the black boxes and voice recorder data recorder will give us a lot of information exactly how the plane was being maneuvered, where it appeared to be turning, if at all, what that rate of descent was, whether it was steady or there was changes to it. i believe we talked about last hour that air speed was fairly consistent slowly bled off, which would be aero dynamically consistent with steady descent. but until we know those things no...

Hours later than planned. >> it sounds like they left the gate at 8:30. then the distress call was heard two hours later. >> that indicates to me that they didnt receive -- didnt have an in flight emergency until well into the flight. theyre already in the mountains, inroute. they have to make the decision first, where am i going to put this down. >> its complicated by that area. otherwise you might have options. if you had -- we saw with harrison ford, he was able to land in a golf course, some...

Outside departure. 005. >> 005. >> ready. >> all right. les, what are we listening to? >> it sounds like clearance delivery don. its a standard typical clearance that was given. they give a departure routing. they gave a squawk what we call for the transponder so they have a discrete code so they can be found on radar. and the nuance between the tower -- the clearance delivery people and air traffic control and the pilots seems very standard and very nonchalant.

And not a good neighbor. >> congressman, they claim there were 42 miles between the passenger jet. is that close or far away? 42 nils? >> thats far when it comes to a collision threat and a few months ago it was 100 meters or something like that and illegal intercept is to have somebody come within 100 miles of a plane and thats what you do when you take over a plane and in a different territory. so at 40 miles or whatever is not intercepting and getting to a dangerous position with these airlin...

An aircraft is hostile or not? >> this you cant. this wasnt wearing a squawk. its dropped off. its not flight planned in the direction that its going. ifr or vfr. this is a suspicious airplane. remember all the information weve got about a climb to 39,000 feet and then over on the western side of malaysia we have this information about it dropping to 4,000 feet and then climbing again. that to me, if its not hostile, its very suspicious. >> the prime minister, even when richard quest pushed him ...

That should have raised alarms and initiated emergency procedures that should have started something going long before aircraft would have been called to go and check the airplane out. >> walk me through that. >> do you remember the timeline? lets walk through that. 1:07, acars gives the last transmission. 1:19, theres that kuala lumpur looking forward to. and 1:21 is the last transmission from the transponder. the transponder is key in this. it was sidewalking the numbers 2157. that drops off t...
