i'm going to ask our guest. but why? is it this new satellite data suggesting similarities between the deadly crash in ethiopia and another accident of the same plane last october? seems the trump administration is doing the right thing in the interest of public safety, but did we get there the wrong way? let's ask aviation expert and former faa safety inspector, david soucie. also the author of "why planes crash." welcome to "primetime," brother. it's the first time i've had you on here, but you and i have spent a lot of time together. it's good to have you. so here's the suggestion -- >> yeah, we have, chris. >> -- do you think that this decision was all about waiting for critical mass of data and getting it right, and that the satellite images that they found up in canada or whatever was the tipping point? or do you think that's an excuse? >> oh, it's certainly an excuse. i had that data, everyone had that data. data is transmitted freely to
