Good evening. Im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, the breaking news. A new search for airasia flight 8501 about to start as we learn new mistakes before takeoff. We are learning that the crew failed to pick up copies of the Weather Report. This Weather Report here complete with the pictures and all of the details of the storms. And passed on an opportunity for a facetoface briefing by government meteorologists before taking off into a deadly double cell thunderstorm. Now this is according to indonesian officials. This is dozens of ships and aircraft picked up the search for bodies and the planes fuse launch fuselage and among the search plane seats. 90 drivers in the search divers in the search zone have been able to follow up under water because of seas with near zero visibility despite the fact it is not that deep. 123 people are still missing from flight 8501. 39 bodies are now recovered. And one theory people are talking about is the large pieces of debris as well as the bodies found in tact. That indicates to some the plane probably descended horizontally when it crashed into the sea. What could that mean . Paul hancock is outfront in indonesia. And we know sonar has picked up two large objects, divers havent been able to confirm that. What do you know now . Reporter well, sairnerin we know the larger of the two is 56 by 30 feet so quite a significant size. But of course what they want to do at this point, the uss fort worth has detected them is to get under the water and see what they are. The hope is today the weather will be better. Certainly we understand it will be. But it is the under water currents that are important. Can they get divers into the water which they werent able to on tuesday and will they get the submersibles down to find out exactly what the objects are. Now of course they will be cautious until they know whether or not they are related to this plane. Remember just a couple of days ago, one of the large pieces of debris they found, they announced was part of a ship wreck. So it is not just a plane that is down there at the bottom of the java sea. At this point, they have to be careful because there is obviously there are other things that could be mixed up with this. But certainly there is hope that this could be a breakthrough that theyve been looking for. The side scan sonar from the u. S. Picked it up on tuesday and certainly that is going to be one of the main priorities today, to find out exactly what these two metallic objects are. Erin. Paula, thank you very much. And tonight were also learning new information about the Weather Report. Ive got it here. Here are the details, with maps as can you see and then all of the details of the pressure and all of the locations as you can see, about nine or ten pages. This report was not picked up by the pilots of airasia flight 8501. We have been told that the report may have been emailed to pilots. So the airline is saying Something Different than we are hearing from the indonesian government. The eight pages include a satellite image, showing the storms and wind speed and direction. And kwung law is outfront. And this seems to be a potential series of missteps taken by airasia. Reporter miss steps by airasia and also more importantly, the suggestion there may be real cracks or problems with the entire infrastructure of the aviation system. There are questions about the rules, how lax are they does anyone follow them. A lot of in ternal discussion about the overall safety of planes landing and taking off from this country. While this discussion is happening here. The investigation, trying to find pieces of the plane, well we got an inside look at the hub running the search and rescue effort. The nerve center and the intense search for airasia 8501. 18 aircraft 38 ships in the java sea and realtime reporting into the command control center. Moments after we walked in what is happening . We have another two bodies. The plane just spotted two bodies. Reporter two more bodies but they dont know for sure until the ship reached the coordinates and picks them up. This man is the head of the indonesia search and rescue the public face in the recovery. The man calling the shots, a lifelong military officer trained for restraint and completing the mission. You want to find the bodies for the family . Yes. As much as possible. Reporter what is possible is becoming more challenging, as the search stretches into doubledigit days. Indonesia expanded the search zone further east. Officials at the command control center believe many passengers will be found on the sea floor still inside of the plane. One clue for that theory search teams already found three passengers all from one row still strapped to their seat belts. But others are drifting. A personal nightmare for the man charged with bringing them home. You are sleeping here . Yeah. You are eating here . Yeah. You have not left here. Why . I cant. Because of the responsibility and the situation and i am an officer and a pilot. Reporter the ship radios back. It has the bodies. Reporter do you think will you find all of the bodies . Im not sure. But ill try. Reporter two more returning. More than 100 still lost at sea. So the main strategy that we are hearing from the headquarters is to try to find the large sections of the plane. They think that many of those passengers may still be strapped to the seats. As we said erin they are hoping they will be able to find a black box in the large sections of the tail. Erin. Thank you very much. And out now, miles obrien and david quest and david sousie sousie author of the up coming flight airasia flight 3 70. And they are saying the pilots didnt pick up the Weather Report that im holding here and the airlines say the pilots got documents about the weather via email. So how do we know who is telling the truth and whether the pilots were aware of and fully understood the weather situation . It is hard to imagine a 20,000 hour captain not checking the weather before he begins an airline flight. That would be really beyond the pail. It is hard to imagine. But assume that happens hypothetically. Ive looked at that Weather Report and by the way, it speaks for itself whether there is somebody communicating it to you, it is clear what is there. There is nothing in there that says to the pilot or anybody who knows about aviation that you shouldnt fly. It is perfectly safe to take off given what is in that report in the context of the time and the location. So really when you look at the accident the thing to look at is the decisionmaking in the air, 40 minutes later. The thing we do have to think about here is if the airline was cutting corners on the rules, what does that say about the culture of the airline, what does that say about maintenance or about any number of other things you might be concerned about. Right. And when we talk about cutting corners, we do know the plane was flying on a day it was not authorized to fly. And richard, here is the question as miles points out, when you look at the Weather Report there were other people flying. 32,000 feet and there were five other planes affected by the storm and one an emirates plane going to dubai. And they got there safety. So does this suggest this was pilot error . Im not going there. Im not going down that road until we know more about it. What it suggests is an incident happened that the flight deck couldnt cope with. Now that is obvious. The plane fell out of the air. Whether it is mechanical or lack of training we dont know. Right. We dont know that area. Ive looked at the Weather Report and again it doesnt matter whether you get it facetoface they knew what the weather was. And any way, there is a weather radar on the aircraft. Can he see x number of mile as head of what the miles ahead of what the weather will be like. I think kansas crucial between indonesia, airasia and the Parent Company airasia in malaysia. And ive said it is a reputable main run airline. Whether indonesia airasia was sort of not as tight on certain things as it should have been because the really significant point is running a plane when you havent got permission. And that does show on some level, a corner was being cut by somebody somewhere. Not the pilots but somebody at the airline. David, when you look at the new pictures of the debris we are seeing rows of seats. And i was talking about how important this is. The man in charge of the investigation of the air france crash which went down over a set of thunderstorms off the coast of brazil said the impact was not very violent and the jet was probably a horizontal position when it crashed. We are showing everyone the seats. Again this is hard to look at but i think it is important to make the point about how this might have landed. David, do you have a sense as to whether that is true . His words, not very violent and probably horizontal . I dont know if i would go that far because there is no way to figure out what happened on the aircraft from one set of seats. But if you look at the structure underneath the seat, that is where it is extremely telling because it will tell you whether it was a straight impact straight down or whether if the seat is crooked, Going Forward or forward impact. There is a lot of information that can be gained from the structure of the seat how it was attached if the pins that hold the seat into the rail were ruptured and that will tell you whether it went forward or back. When you talk about landing in a horizontal position air france did that as well. But what happened there is that it landed on the back of the aircraft and most of the impact was absorbed by the back of the aircraft. So throughout the aircraft not knowing where the seats came from whether it was the back or the front. You cant tell. It could be significantly from the back to the front. Richard. When we hear the phrase not very violent, i think hes talking about it didnt blow up in the sky and fall from the air. Because it creates the possibility that maybe it landed and they werent in pain and they had a chance to survive. That is what you think as a human being. I suspect, there is a issue in terms of that. I think you are looking at a sort of hitting of the water, if you look at the compression and the bending. So they slammed down. It is similar to what i think. I dont think anybody disagrees to 447. I think somebody must be lost in the translation. This is a airplane in a spin why doesnt he try it. And remarkable survival skills a girl walked away from a crash. And a woman survived eight days in the jungle and with broken bones. And police warned to be on alert for gang members tarting officers as two more new york officers are shot down chasing an armed robbery. That is next.

And funerals are under way for her parents, sister and her cousin all killed in a plane crash in kentucky. How did sailer survive the crash and that long trek to safety . George harold begins our coverage tonight in nashville. As this small town prepared to bury a family the grief is surpassed by a great sense of responsibility to take care of one 7yearold survivor. Obviously from the story, what has happened with her coming out of that wreckage and in the spirit she has, it is unbelievable. The resiliency that she showed and the determination and the courage most adults dont have that. Reporter michael brink is the superintendent of the school that sisters sailer and Piper Gutzler attended and knew the family well. Simply put. One of the nicest families ive ever met. Pillars of the community. Everybody knew marty and kim and everybody loved them. Reporter he last saw the girls in school before christmas break. And then this past friday the small plane carrying marty, kimberly piper, sailer and their cousin sierra wilder crashed and killed everybody in the family except for sailer. You just think about sailer walking away from that bare foot, in shorts, through freezing weather, walking close to a mile its just unbelievable. Reporter what she saw and went through is a story that only she can tell best when shes ready. But like sailer, a. C. Morgon survived a crash when the plane he was on went down due to airplane trouble. He survive ed. He can relate to what she went through. It is 100 internal and im sure sailer had the same experience. Reporter moving forward, people in nashville know the road ahead will be challenging for all. For sailer without her family and for this School Superintendent who expects to some day see sailer back in school but without her sister at her side. What i when i think of sailer i think of piper. They were always together. And thats a very hard reality to accept. But that is something that we are going to have to prepare for and, again, we will rally around sailer. Reporter and can you imagine how difficult it must be to explain what happened here to many of the School Children at that school. We do understand that the superintendent will have grief counselors on hand next week for children there and this community does plan for a funeral. Several funerals. We know that sierra wilders Funeral Services are set for tomorrow and sailers mother and father and sister are set for friday. Erin. George thank you. When a Vietnam Airlines commercial jet with 31 on board crashed into a mountain only one person survived in 1992. Not only was she injured and had a collapsed lung and she managed to survive for eight days. She wrote a book about it called turbulence a survival story. Annette is outfront. I saw you put your hand on your heart when you saw about sailer and what happened to her life. In your situation, your life changed from what you expected. You were with your fiance and the plane crashed. What happened . We were going to a beach, my fiance set it up i was a Business Banker and we went for days and when i saw the size of the plane, he didnt want to because i was claustrophobic. He said it was only 15 minutes and he lied to me and it was 55 minutes. And i was very nervous about the flight already and in the 50th minute, there were people screaming. I didnt think much of it because it was a little plane like that will feel with such to feel such drop. And then he was scared. We kept on flying another giant drop. He grabbed for my hand i grabbed for his. And everything went black. And so you were holding his hand and then it just do you remember the impact . Or then all of a sudden what is your next memory . And obviously that bang was flying into the muntd . Yes. And what happened is the plane lost a wing and kept on flying and hit the other mountain. I was unconscious then and i woke up. The airplane had broken in two and the fuselage continued downward and i was stuck under seat with a dead person as it turned out. At my left i saw my fiance and he was dead. I could see he was dead. And then you went into shock and then you managed somehow in that shock and unconscious state to get off the plane . Somehow, i must have done it. I was severely injured but it must have been mind over matter but i dont remember now. Next memories im out on the jungle floor with a few more people out and the most of the fuselage was behind me with dead people inside and people were moaning. Next to me there was a vietnamese man speaking to me in english, mostly about when the rescuers would come. But when they came in eight days you were gathering water and some found some way to gather water . Later he died and i stayed next to him first and moved hours on his watch and then i moved away from him and i made a plan to collect rain water. And so do you know what it was that made you able to survive . Your lung was injured, you couldnt walk your legs were broken your arm, hip and jaw. You were severely injured. I listened to my heart. I did not get emotional and nor did i let my mind run off in scenarios. Just focusing on what is right in front of me and i did what hi to be done. And were you grieving for your fiance at that time . That was the one thing i suppressed. Every time i thought of him, i had to stop thinking of it otherwise i would start crying and it would make me thirsty and weaker. So i forced myself not to think of him and i forced myself to look at the beauty of the jungle and that is what got me through. I totally folked on the beauty of the focused on the beauty of the leaves and the rain and the canopy. And it was such a tragedy and yet your life did move on. You had a daughter that would not have been your daughter if that wouldnt have happened. And you flew over the crash site and showed that to her. Your life changed and you somehow made it a beautiful thing. What would you tell sailer . More than anything i would ask the people around sailer i hope she has a loving family of course first, but not to treat her she did something extraordinary but not to treat her different and everything has changed and that is horrible enough as it is and you want Everything Else to stay the same as much as possible and people treat you like you are different. She doesnt want to be treated like someone extraordinary, she wants to be treated the same. For you, you dont think it is extraordinary and when you come back it will put excess stress on her. She wants everybody to treat her normal. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for having me. And i want to bring in ron nealson, a former Airline Captain who runs a program for people who have a fear of flying and suffer traumatic events in the air. You just heard that story. And i
