Breaking news. This is cnn and we are following this breaking news out of indonesia. Authorities say lion air flight 610 has crashed into the sea off jakarta. The plane was carrying 189 people, including children. It vanished from radar just minutes after takeoff on the way to bangal, penon. They sent in boats, copters and rescuers to the site. They are working on the assumption the plane sank and taking equipment to find an under water locator beacon. Cnns will ripley joins us now live from hong kong with more on all of this. So, will what more are indonesian authorities revealing about this plane crash off indonesias coast just hours reporter as you said, rosemary, they are operating on the assumption this plane crashed into the wat and sunk, and sadly, the images we are seeing of plane debris, some passenger items coming to the surface of the java sea some 34 nautical miles from jakarta, it indicates indeed a horrible event took place, a crash. The plane disappeared from radar after making a pretty drastic drop from about 5200 feet, and the flight crew apparently just minutes after take off, called the airport on the radio, asking to turn around and go back and that was just before they vanished. There was no indication, though, from the flight crew that an emergency was taking place. They didnt say that something was horribly wrong. They just said they wanted to turn the plane around, which experts tell us indicates they may have thought the issue with the plane was fixable. Sadly, that was not the case. And family members who have been waiting for ag nieonizing hours the airport for information, obviously with each image that comes to the surface and eh piece of debris that comes to the surface as well, any hope is sadly fading for those people who want to know about the 181 passenger ands eight crew members on board. And the flight lt included one child and two infants. It was just supposed to be an hourlong flight, the kind of flight people take every day and just dont think much about it. Obviously it never arrived, and as we see, so often in incidents like this, there are a lot of questions about how this could have happened. There was really no turbulent weather in the area where the plane went down. There were some thunderstorm but they were a safe distance from the aircraft. And this was a brandnew plane pretty much. It it was a boeing 737 max, just 800 flight hours. So lots of questions, rosemary. But, of course, the immediate question, where exactly is this plane and where are those black boxes. Yeah, a lot of questions, people want answers. Of course, family members it is just a tragedy for them. Imagine the agony. Will ripley joining us there live from hong kong. Many thanks. Lets talk more about this with greg walden. Gr, the asia managing editor for Flight Global group which tracks flight and data analytics. Live this hour from singapore. Greg, thank you again for your time today. So, as w understand at this point, the pilot asked basically to return to the airport 20 minutes into flight. No emergency, though, ever declared. What do you draw from that . Well, its hard to say what happened. We wont really know until there is a thorough investigation. But certainly what happened happened fast. Understanding was 13 minutes into the flight they wanted to come back to jakarta, but then nothing else was heard from. Typically, the rule for airmen, you first ava yat, then you navigate, then you communicate. That probably was what they were trying to do. Well wait to see the issues they were confronted with. That is high priority for the investigateers. Aviate, navige, communicate. Never heard it before. Sounds like logical steps to take as dealing with any situation. Our will ripley just spoke about that dramatic drop in altitude. Again, is there anything that you draw from that bit of inrmation that weve gathered . Again hard to say. I have sn the reports from the flight tracking sites, and there was a radical i mean, dive, pretty much, at the very tail end of the flight. Looks like it was a very sudden instant. Its hard to say with any certainty what happened, but whatever happened was clearly, you know, very dramatic. The crew would have been the fact that they didnt get from my understanding, there was no may day, no distress call, they didnt adjust their transponder to say there was an emergency. The fact that they werent able to get that out is quite interesting. And then lion air, what can you tell us about this budget carrier . Is there any information that, you know, its worth looking into given the plane . Well, theyre going to be looking at all aspects of this accident. The aircft, the maintenance, you know, how the crew performed. But lion air is probably one of the fastestgrowing budget carrrs in the world. I mean, they have hundreds of aircraft on order. Its a dominant player in southeast asia. And as they have grown, this is also true of the other lowcost carriers out here. Its been a real struggle to find and train pilots, and so, therefore, youre getting a situation where there is tremendous growth, but of course keeping Safety Standards up to where they should be posbly could be a challenge. You see, theyve had 11 accidents since they were founded about 13, 14 years ago. And five of those have resulted in the loss of the aircraft. Six if you include the flight today. So, theyve had their share of up and downs over the years. There tends to be a in the reporting on this, there tends to be procedural errors, things missed, maybe some, you know, procedural training oversights. That could be these things pop up in indonesia, unfortunately. Greg walden, we appciate your time and perspective. Thank you. Well stay in touch with you. Thank you very much. Communities across the United States are mourning saturdays deadly mass shooting at a pittsburgh synagogue. Let every need be supplied an interfaith ceremony was held to honor the 11 people who lost their lives. The Antidefamation League calls it the deadliest shooting on a Jewish Community in u. S. Histy. Pittsburgh is nicknamed the steel city. Its mayor vows it will stay strong. Let me tell you something about pittsburghers. Weve tough. We are proud of our blue collar roots. And were not the type of people that react to threats or actions in a way that ever takes back from us. We will drive antisemitism and the hate of any people back to the basement, on their computer, and away from the open discussions and dialogues around this city, around this stat and around this country. [ applause ] were a resilient people. We will Work Together as one. We will defeat hate with love. We will be a city of compassion, welcoming to all people no matter what your religion or where your family came from on this earth, or your status. [ applause ] this day we are also learning more about the 11 victims of this terrible tragedy. The youngest were the rosenthal brothers who were in their 50s. They have been described as inseparable. The oldes was 97yearold rose mallinger. Shes being remembered for always offering a friendly greeting, a hug, and a smile. To seek the death penalty. Cnns Miguel Marques is in pittsburgh and has more for us. Reporter the more we learn about Robert Bowers life, the more disturbing it is. Not because people are saying he was this sort of nazi figure in their neighborhood, because what they didnt know about him. This is a person that everybody that we have spoken to, whether it was neighbors or people who have known him for many, many years, say this is a person who didnt have a mean bone in his body, never uttered a terrible word about jews or any other race, and there is just shock, absolute shock that he could do this sort of deed. This is a person who had a very difficult life, from what we can tell as well. People describe him as a lost soul. Those who knew him a long time, a lost soul. Somebody who went from job to job and could never quite figure out life. This, as investigators are going through his home, his computers, his phone, his car, theyre looking for surveillance video. They know he had many, many guns registered in his name, some 21 guns registered in his name, and they are trying to complete that full picture of who this individual was. What you didnt see on the outside of his life was sort of this opaque sort of he didnt even cast a shadow. But underneath was this just deep well of hatred that this man had toward jews. Posting this on places online, not twitter, not facebook, not the obvious places, but posting online. If you knew where to look, you could find it. 17 days before he opened fire in that synagogue, he posted about one jewish group in particular, haias, the hebrew immigrant aid sew sie society. They settled jews, other races, other countries many years. They were on the mexico border about the caravan coming up. Robert bowers was concerned about that caravan, hated the idea of it, called them invaders. Coming to slaughter our people. The day he went into the synagogue, that was the last post he made, that he didnt care about the optics about what he was about to do. He was going in. And investigators now trying to collect up every bit of information they can to paint a full picture, not just evidence for a trial, but try to understand what it was that drove a man like this to this just horrendous act. Back to you. Miguel marques, thank you. The shooting caps off a week in the United States that included a wave of pipe bombs sent by mail, critics of President Trump, top democrats, and targeting cnn. The pipe bombs were intercepted thankfully. The suspect arrested on friday is this man. Cesar sayoc. He is set to be in a miami courtroom in the coming hours. He could get up to 48 years in prison if convicted. Thankfully no one was killed or injured by the bombs he allegedly set. So, lets talk more about this with juliet kayem. Former secretary for the department of Homeland Security and a cnn u. S. Security analyst. She joins me now from boston, massachusetts. Good to have you with us. Thank you for having me. Well, it was a tough week and, juliet, the mass shooting at the synagogue in pittsburgh on saturday shocked the nation, and saw the president suggest an armed guard should have been in the building at the time of that attack. And then continued with a rally. He continued with a rally on the very same day those 11 people were shot to death. Mr. Trump justified his actions by saying, you cant give the killer an edge, and then he wrongly suggested that the New York Stock Exchange reopened a day after 9 11. What was your reaction to the way President Trump led the country on that grim tragic day . I mean, he could calling it leading is probably a mistake. The president , of course, as you said, first claimed if they had been better armed or had better security at the temple no one would have been killed. There were three Police Officers at the temple and are in the hospital. Now that the names have been released, you see the victims were in their 70s and 80s. These are not people who would have been armed in any event. And then to move on to a rally in light of this being the worst attack against the jewish faith in the United States was just sort of shocking in many regards. There was a lot of discussion here about whether President Trumps language has led to this kind of violence in particular, because we had the bombing bombing threats this week. Now with the synagogue, we also had a hate crime against an africanamerican couple, and so those three incidents suggest maybe things are getting out of hand, that this racial animus is getting animated from the top. I will tell you as someone who worries about the next event, im very concerned that the president s lack of gravity in the sense of what is going on will lead others to maybe think that this violence is not a big deal. I do want to turn to that other disturbing news from last week, the series of pipe bombs that were sent to two former president s and to other highprofile democrats, as well as cnn. Again, President Trumps response upset many people because he refused to actually name barack obama and the clintons and others as targets of those pipe bombs. What happens when a u. S. President responds in such a partisan way in the midst of a National Crisis like that . So, its not just partisan. Its just not right to not call the former president s who have been the focus of these, essentially, assassination attempts. Look, the president has decided hes going to use his this opportunity for him, which i think he does view the presidency as an opportunity to divide and not unite. Hes made that clear its not particularly political of me to say that. Its not something hes done in the middle of these heart wrenching attacks. Hes blamed the media. Hes blamed the democrats. And so we call this in counterterrorism a sort of form of radicalization. What hes doing is somewhat in some ways radicalizing ways those who do not like democrats, those who do not like a certain kind of person. Im not saying hes a proponent of violence. Im saying for someone who ought to know that people are hearing him in a way that is leading to the kind of violence were seeing, as we know from in all of these cases, these were politically motivated, that you would think that he would responsibly tone it down and he has not. I wish i had better news for you, but if this week didnt change his ratcheting up, nothing will. And, thankfully, authorities moved swiftly. They identified the pipe bomb suspect, and tracked him down and arrested him. Juliet, we thank you for joining us. Thank you. Still ahead here on newsroom, voters in brazil have picked the man to write the next chapter in that nations history. We take a look at what put Jair Bolsonaro to the top. Plus, much more on the crash of an indonesian passenger plane that went down shortly after take off. We will bring you the latest on the investigation. As a defender of freedom, i will lead a government that up holds and protects the rights of the citizens who follow their duties and respect the laws. The laws are for everyone. This is how it will be during our constitutional and democratic government. That is Jair Bolsonaro, brazils new president elect. Of course, he is not new to brazilians. Hes been in politics for decades, powered by farright views that many view as controversial. Those views earned him the nickname trump of the tropics. Bolsonaro said President Trump called him sunday to congratulate him. His opponent fernando hadaji vows to keep fighting. Bolsonaro is viewed as a very polarizing figure in brazil. Hadas is in brazil. Reporter he is known as brazils trump and he promises to drain the swamp and crackdown on crime. And like his u. S. Counterpart, he campaigned on change and won. 63yearold Jair Bolsonaro is a seventerm congressman with a reputation for controversial comments. Often aimed at homosexuals, minorities and women. Once telling a congresswoman she was not pretty enough to rape. He has a strong conservative base who, like him, are prolife and against samesex marriage. A former army captain, bolsonaro wants to bring back law and order which he said was strongest under brazils former military dictatorship. Even though military rule ended in the mid 80s, bolsonaro Still Believes in some of the old regimes brutal tactics. Translator i support torture. You know that. Reporter its tough talk that has resonated with voters tired of political corruption and widespread crime. Brazil has one of the highest murder rates in the world and bolsonaro plans to fight fire with fire. Encouraging police to use lethal force on criminals. Last month, bolsonaro himself was stabbed in the stomach at a Campaign Rally by a man who police believed was mentally ill. On the economic front, bolsonaro promised free market reforms and privatizations. But as the head of south americas largest economy, he also said he would safeguard natural resources, and warns that china already owns too much of its land. Whether or not bolsonaro makes good on his Campaign Promise s to make brazilians safer and more solvent is yet to be seen. Hell get that chance when he officially takes office in january. Shasta darling ton, sao paulo. Lets talk more about this now with eric farnsworth. Eric is the vicepresident at the Americas Society and the council of the americas. Joining this hour from washington, d. C. Eric, thank you for your time. Pleased to be with you. So, mr. Bolsonaro took 55 of the vote, clearing the 50 threshold to win, and besting his opponent fernando hadaji, at 45 of the vote. What does a bolsonaro presidency mean for brazil . Its going to be a change, no question about it. The brazilian people voted for change. They are so tired of corruption. They are so tired of crime. Ener looking for t they are looking for the economy to be jump started and to be a priority. This is something now president elect bolsonaro says he is going to be able to do. And so there are a lot of hopes from the brazilian people riding on his candidacy right now. And we are looking at images right there, these images from earlier in rio de janeiro. So many people who came out to celebrate his victory. But given the racist, the homophobic, the misogynist comments that the president elect has made in the past, is there any sense that he might moderate, that he might shift to a more inclusive tone for all of brazils people or is there concern he will lead as president , in accordance to the things hes said in the past . There is a lot of hope that hell moderate his rhetoric and, in fact, bind up a very polarized brazil. But i think most people anticipate that, in fact, he wont do that. In part, because the rhetoric and the things hes said in the past predate in some cases, by many years, the campaign. Although campaigning and governing are two separate things, nonetheless, he does seem to have a record that goes back many years that seems to be fairly antidemocratic, that seems to be pointed against minorities, and seems to be really challenging the idea of a large inclusive country like brazil really traditionally has been. Of the 26 states in brazil, mr. Bolsonaro seemed to do best in the western and southern parts of brazil. His opponent, fernando hadaji won in central, northern and eastern states. What were some of the key issues that made the biggest differences for voters across those regions . Well, th
