Where it breaks apart, those pieces are far from the impact zone. so what my concern was at first was that we might be jumping to a conclusion and as an accident investigator, thats the hardest thing not to do, is to jump to the most obvious conclusion, and the most coincidental conclusion. so when you look at this video, though, youll miss things that are in front of your face. and by looking at this video, not the one showing now, but the one prior when we showed the actual impact point, you c...

35,000 feet in the sky. the fact that you have radar that can do this -- we have democratized violence in a sense and made it accessible. but what we havent done is created systems and structures to control or regulate and so thats why you can have something like this happen. some group. all it needed was to be given this weaponry, easy to operate, and yet can cause devastating damage. >> then you look at other areas of the world where this has the potential. i mean, you look at isis in -- fight...

David, we havent talked to you thus far. what are your thoughts on the information thats come out so far? >> well, anderson, in every investigation ive ever run, most difficult thick thing is not to jump to the most common and accepted answer right away. there are other things. if you to that, you miss whats right in front of your face. and if you look at that video, the first thing you see is the impact and the explosion. if this were a missile, do you think the aircraft would have come down wi...

That everybody is talking about, the standard warhead on that missile is set to go off in the proximity of the aircraft, not just strike the aircraft. >> so doesnt actually hit the aircraft. >> its not a kinetic hit. and what -- its about 150 pounds of practicing mentation. >> and so youre saying -- >> i dont know what kind of damage that would cause to that aircra aircraft, but would that give that kind of signature you were talking about? >> well, maybe i could compare that to just an engine t...

Flight? >> it was critical to get it, because it told us -- it confirmed that this catastrophic and horrific eventuality, it told us when it occurred and where it occurred. it did not give us much more information from that, because it was the black box was pretty rudimentary by todays standards. and in this case, i would say the -- if the plane came apart, and in a dramatic fashion, it may not give us much information. but it will tell us when and where it happened. and the trick would be in th...

On this one video, saying that because you dont see a smoke trail before the impact on the ground, you dont believe that the plane was in any way on fire or had been hit by any kind of a missile. >> yeah. if it had been let by a missile, you would see evidence of that in the air. >> colonel? >> this is rick francona. if i described the warhead to you, what were looking at is 150 pounds of high explosion fragmentation warhead, proximity fused, would that change your opinion at all? >> i dont know...

Weeks, anderson. >> bob baer joining us, as well. bob, when you hear about some local prosecutors from a separatist group headed toward the crash site for their own investigation, the idea of, you know, people kind of combing over this crash site without really any experience in doing this, that raises all sorts of questions. >> reporter: anderson, i dont trust anybody in this. the russians, the ukrainians or the separatists. were not going to get a clear version on it, authoritative version. we...

>> that could be -- thats very likely to have been or could be material that exploded and went up into the explosion, and is then coming down from -- with the fireball that we saw, rather than -- or it could be, god forbid, pieces of the plane that followed on from it falling out of the sky. but my initial thinking would be its part of the explosion that went up with the fireball. >> jeff weise, aviation analyst and columnist, joining us. its good to have you with us. we havent talked to you yet...
