point. >> and, david, i mean, according to the flight data tracker, flight radar 24, the plane slowed down suddenly and then plunged at like 300 miles an hour and the plane's direction of travel was, what they said, wobbling from side to side. what does that tell you? >> well, it would tell you that it was a breakup in the flight. no directional control of the aircraft. wobbling left to right means no rudder and no control going left to right. it would be consistent with this type of in-flight breakup for sure. >> miles, does it surprise you that air traffic controllers wouldn't have received any distress calls from the pilots? >> if you harkin back to previous incidents like this whether it is lockerbie or twa-800 which ultimately was a full tank explosion, there was no chance for the crew to get a radio call off. >> there are also reporting reporting that officials say that based on the flight data recorder, there were uncharacteristic sounds heard
