not months. >> claudio, thank you so much. appreciate that live report. joining me in studio jay rollins who previously served as a u.s. navy pilot and flight instructor. what we're still looking for, this flight data recorder, what kind of information do they want to get from that? >> they want to confirm what they already suspect, that the aircraft was deliberately descended from a cruising altitude and deliberately pointed towards those mountains. in order to do that they need to double-check the telemetry that comes off over other black box. >> you're up at a cruising altitude of about 38,000 which would be normal. and it allegedly was programmed to go down to 5,000 feet in elevation. you've seen these alps. they're incredibly tall. and it would look that that would be intentional. but what does that feel like over that period of time? do you think that there was a definite sense that things were going down in a very precarious way for the passengers on board?
