Depressurize, and that hole will continue down the length of the plane. >> reporter: images of flight 9268 indicate a midair breakup, the tail section three miles from the main debris field. in the wreckage, you can make out the wings, the fuselage in front, noticeably missing the back of the passenger jet. in december 1988, pan am flight 103 was brought down by a suitcase bomb placed in a container with other luggage. the plastic explosives set on a timer exploded over lockerbie, scotland. the ...

Did it come from? theres a cargo. theres approved shippers. with approved shippers, these baggages that are shipped, they are not screened because the shipper takes full responsibility for those packages so they screen them on their side which is not within the safety umbrella of this security itself. thats that you notice that tom is talking a lot about the tail area and the tail section where the cargo hold is. that is where the repair was done after the tail strike as well. im still not over ...

It is constantly reactive and like miles was saying, it needs to be more proactive. we need to look forward at things, not just reactive and thats this case. egypt is taking their part in just waiting to be reactive. i think that the prime minister making the move to do what he did is a proactive move and something needs to be done whether its proven yet or not it was a bomb, hes being proactive about it and thats something thats rarely done in a security area in the aviation. >> john, i mean, t...

Airplane and the air loads on the airplane in flight will tear it up and i would guess from the wreckage that the bomb was in the tail section of the airplane and most likely in the belly because we see the crown of the airplane, the upper piece where the fracture occurred still in tact. so it was most likely it was in the belly forward out rear entrance doors and stressed the fuselage there and disintegrated. >> john, youre saying once there is a hole or explosion, one part of the aircraft, bec...

Explosion. we also know the plane broke apart. the tail section found a long way, three miles from the rest of the wreckage. more pressure than ever on investigators finding out how a bomb could have gotten on the plane. a critical question in the midst of a horrible disaster. >> miguel, its incredible when you look at that flight radar and youre able to see that descent. how definitive is the data that youve been combing through? >> reporter: its not definitive and certainly the black boxes wil...

Did think it was important that david cameron said today quote, more likely than not and said quote, increasingly likely. so you have the british prime minister from number ten and they are generally very reticent to in any way fan the flames of hysteria coming down and making these comments. >> especially with the egyptian leader right at his side. >> absolutely. and given the state of a renewed cold war, i think its also very important to note the context. that said, its absolutely true that t...

Forward-leaning, and i can only tell you our perspective here in the united states which is were not ready to confirm anything. there is evidence that would support either conclusion. certainly there are indications that this could have been a terrorist attack. at the same time, when you look at the history of that aircraft and you look at the debris field and the fact the tail section is separated by a considerable distance from the rest of the aircraft, there is also a plausible explanation th...

Mechanical failure or a small bomb inside. >> u.s. officials are saying it is a catastrophic event in flight. you believe a bomb is a possibility? >> i do, anderson. and i harken back to pan am 03 over lockerbie. a bomb near the tail section of an aircraft, in this case all evidence would support that given the fact where the tail section was found in proximity to the rest of the wreckage. a bomb would not have to be a large device as a matter of fact. you wouldnt get this idea of explosive resi...

Media at the moment, two different versions of what potentially kill their loved ones. did the plane break apart in the air, did the tail section fall off, an accident a few years ago or was it because of a bomb on board? a salt petersburg newspaper, the oldest here, widely respected, reports that the injuries fall into two categories, those in the fronts have burns and trauma-type injuries, indicative of falling from the sky. the rear of the aircraft have exmovies tra ma, pieces of metal fragme...
