was an impact but it wasn t a black hole like catastrophic. maybe some kind of landing with a loss of fuel as people speculate over time. obviously, if this part was ripped off the airplane it was a very significant impact force. i think they could probably tell that it was an unsurvivable crash, if indeed they examine the wreckage but it is not something that a big part of the airplane still exists. what it doesn t tell us is about a big part of the plane that does exist, if it is still in the search zone. it won t help narrow down that area will it? it won t narrow down the area. i think the better analysis is using the satellite analysis that they are using now. it s also not going to tell us exactly what caused the airplane to crash, if and i think that we need to find the full wreckage. it s important to the families
777. so richard, if it is from that type of plane, and mh370 was a 777, doesn t the piece of debris almost have to be from mh370? it doesn t have to be but yes, there s a high degree of probability. planes don t lose flaps. and when they do you tend to know about it. it s not an incidental piece of equipment on the aircraft. it s a fundamental piece we are talking about. and there s no other 777s that have been lost. and as far as the experts will tell us, they have not received any reports of that equipment being lost from any other aircraft. so yes, there are a lot of other possibilities out there. one could conjure up a variety of scenarios to say it is not mh370, but the experts did tell us about a year ago that when the in about eight months to a year if there was debris it would start to wash up on the east african coast. and that s what we are seeing
time ago the timeline is 24 to 48 hours before they get confirmation. a lot of people say planes actually go flying on the amount of paper that back them up. and the importance of the serial numbers is not only to track the parts but to track the maintenance. and it is required by law in all developed aviation nations that you track the parts and the maintenance numbers on those parts. so the part number also can be traced to boeing but they can also be traced back to the airline. so that s what they were referring to as the maintenance number and should be in the maintenance logbooks kept electronically. and boeing would have all the part numbers and would be very readily available to be checking them. and mary if and when they do officially connect this to mh370, it doesn t tell you everything but it starts to tell you some things. it is official confirmation then that the plane went down in the indian ocean. but this 7-foot piece of debris can tell you more than just that. oh
and by winning the group, germany gets the better seating. again, just like our american sports, right? if you re a number one seed in the nba or nhl playoffs, you get to play the eighth-ranked team. well, the u.s. is going in as the number two team from group g. so in all likelihood, they will play the best team from group h, and that best team in all likelihood is belgium. i m sorry, they ll definitely play that best team from group h. but in all likelihood, belgium. they re way ahead in the standings. so belgium, 4:00 on tuesday, 4:00 eastern, unless something very unusual happens with group h. and belgium is a powerhouse. but, hey, the united states team doesn t think they re losing to anyone right now. they have a ton of confidence. usa, usa. look at all those fans in chicago. rachel nichols, thank you. don t go too far. we re going to keep this coverage moving and grooving. let me show a quick picture. this is just an example of how many people were watching this match. you kno
this report is crucial as to what route the plane took, and where it ended up. okay. what it doesn t tell us, anything about, is what happened at 00:22 when the plane took its left turn and did the hook. nothing in this report helps us in that regard. so anybody who is sitting there saying, well, it clearly shows nefarious, or it clearly shows mechanical. i think they re barking up the wrong tree. okay, okay. richard quest, you would know. thank you so much for the update with this new crucial report. we appreciate that. let s move along. just ahead, iran and syria are now involved in this crisis in iraq. their goal actually seems to be in line with us, with america s. that s next. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 trading inspires your life. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 life inspires your trading. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 where others see fads. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 .you see opportunities.
