deliberately accelerating its descent while going down. this latest information from french investigators is based on their initial reading of the flight data recorder, which was found yesterday, buried, black and burned at the crash site. let's bring in mary schiavo, a former inspector general of the u.s. department of transportation. mary, what do you make of this? this is the initial information they're getting from the flight data recorder. what's your read on what they're putting out right now? >> well, certainly it confirms what the prosecutors said basis on the cockpit voice recorder, that he was conscious, alive, that he deliberately did it. i would expect them to change it from an involuntary manslaughter to a homicide investigation and follow up from additional information from the black boxes. the flight data recorder will have all the fly controls, every movement he made in flying the plane.
