Nearly 100 Million People in less than two days tickled pink by that infectious laughter. If youd like to own a mask of your own, good luck with that. Saturday, may 21st, 2016. From nbc news, this is today, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And welcome to today on this saturday morning. Im craig melvin. Love that. Im sheinelle jones. If youre in a bad mood, just watch that video. Infectious laughter. Looking forward to that. We just watched it for the first time about ten minutes ago. We watched it four times. I think because its so genuine. Shes purely excited. Refreshing, isnt it . More from her. Paris, still reeling from another tragedy. That is our top story and really the breaking news overnight about the investigation into the egyptair crash and what happened in the moments before that plane went down. Investigators confirming today smoke alarms were going off before the plane slammed into the mediterranean sea. Nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely is in cairo with the latest developments. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, everyone. French air accident investigators have confirmed there were serious technical problems. That airbus is driven by computers. They were failing, smoke the cause. And this morning, the first images of the debris from that plane. As the search widens this morning, grim discoveries. Jips plane egyptian planes f body parts, as well as other items. Flight data was sent pointing to Serious Problems around the cockpit. Sensors on a window went off, one apparently opened. Then a smoke sensor in the forward lavatory and then a minute later, smoke in the avionics bay which controls the plane and another window sensor, finally, critically, problems with the pilots controls and computers. Terror or an accident . We dont know yet exactly what it is but its a clear indication something was terribly wrong on flight 804. Egyptair says theres nothing to suggest technical problems. My first concern is taking care of the passengers. And then we get from our sources the information, well be transparent. Reporter u. S. Search planes have joined the hunt which now covers an area of 5,000 square miles. In a cairo mosque, the bereaved struggle with their loss. This film director lost four members of his family. One of the french dead, pascale hess lost his passport but it was found on the street and he boarded the plane. There is now a National Search to find the plane, its flight recorder and answers. At the paris airport, security is even tighter and everyone who had contact with the plane on the grounded is being questioned. Its 74 minutes there, perhaps critical in explaining what caused it to disappear. For the families, of course, this is torture. The French Foreign minister met more than 50 waiting relatives in paris this morning. And he said they showed intense emotion and huge dignity. He reassures them they would be told immediately everything investigators know. But of course thats the problem. There is so little they dont know at the moment. Back to you. Bill neely, thank you. Nbc news aviation expert greg feat is a former investigators with the ntsb. Good morning to you. Good morning. Lets start with the smoke here. That would, of course, indicate there was some sort of fire. The question then becomes what caused the fire . Are we talking something electrical or something as simple as a passenger dropping a cigarette in a lavatory or is this another sign there may be, perhaps, something more sinister at work here . When you look at the timing of all of the faults that came up, especially with the lavatory smoke and avionics based smoke, those are in two different places. When you look at the timing, its very quick. More than likely it is an explosive device or fastmoving or fastburning fire. Electrical fires dont typically burn fast. Wiring on airplanes is designed to be selfextinguishing. If somebody were to drop a cigarette in a trash can and catch a paper towel or some toilet paper on fire, it, too, doesnt burn fast and would not set off all those sensors, especially down below the cockpit in the avionics bay. How are pilots trained to deal with the fire on board the plane . When you look at it, if it is just a genuine fire using your scenario of the lav fire, somebody through a cigarette in there, both the pilots and flight attendants are trained to address that fire using fire extinguishers. Other types of fires, if its an electricalbased fire, theyll pull Circuit Breakers to relieve the electrical lines of any energized power. But in this particular instance with all the multiple faults with the window faults, that is the right side window sensors were going off, the avionics bay had smoke. There were other faults, especially with the Flight Control computers, that suggests that something happened, more of an explosive nature to take out a number of different systems or effect a number of different systems in a very short period of time. We are just getting in, in fact, we started getting in pictures of the debris a few moments ago, some of the debris thats been retrieved. What are investigators right now trying to glean from that evidence . When they look at that evidence, theyre going to, of course, be scouring it for any signs of explosive type material that is tell cal residue, things like that. Theyll be looking for pitting or shrapnel strikes, similar to what we looked for in twa 800, mh317 excuse me, mh17. There is definitive evidence of an explosion. Youll look for penetration from inside the aircraft out since we suspect that if there is an explosive device it was in the aircraft. Theyll be looking at the physical evidence. Of course, theyll be lookingal all this fault information that came down through the data link. Theyll be trying to ferret out that to see if theres a pattern they can use to determine whether or not this was a rapid building fire or an explosivetype device. Nbc news aviation expert greg feith. Thanks as always, sir. Youre welcome. Evan coleman is an nbc news terrorism analyst and senior partner at flash point. Evan, good morning to you. Good morning. More than 48 hours after this. Youre quick to point out the fact that usually when a terrorist Group Takes Responsibility its 12 to 24 hours after the incident. What does that tell you . Its not absolute. There have been groups that claim acts like this weeks, months later. Not isis. If were talking about isis in particular, isis tends to claim credit for Major International acts of terrorism within about 24 hours. If you look at the Russian Airliner in sinai, that was ten hours or less than 12 hours. Weve heard nothing from isis, nothing about this. Its not that we havent heard from them. Theyve been issuing communique after communique, their actual franchise in egypt has claimed credit for other operations in the last couple of days. Theyve said nothing about the egyptair airliner. The question is, if theyre claiming credit for killing a policeman or blowing up a car, wouldnt it seem that they would want to claim credit for a Major International act of terrorism that is garnering tremendous publicity for them . And if theyre not, then why . So if it is isis, there is this hanging question. There really is very little chatter going on right now among jihadists talking about this. Theres not a lot of information suggesting that a Jihadist Group was behind this. Nobodys claimed credit. Baffling. Its funny. You say there is no evidence of a technical fault. Thats what the investigator is saying. Theres no evidence of terrorism either. That leads us to wonder what really caused this. Theres so much buzz an they were talking about it, the lack of screening, of catering on these airplanes. Isis claimed responsibility for taking down the russian jet with the soda can bomb. Weve seen the photo where they say this is the bomb. Is there any way Something Like that could have happened . Its possible. The question is how did that presumed soda bomb get on this aircraft. In sharm el sheikh, this airport was notorious for having terrible security. Isis managed to recruit an insider to put that on board the aircraft. The idea that it would be easy to recruit an insider at Charles De Gaulle airport, when there are International Flights that leave every hour, its a bit hard to believe. Is it possible . Its possible. Its just the chance is remote. If this was terrorism, is it possible someone snuck this on in another airport that this plane traveled to . Theres four different airports within 24 hours. Yes, including tunisia. How would someone sneak on board an explosive device on to this aircraft and know instinctively when that explosive device was going to go off and the aircraft would be between paris and egypt. It could have been between whitrea and egypt. Has the significance been for isis . How does that prove the isis mission . There were 60 people on board this plane. Most of them were egyptian, sunni muslims. They werent french nationals. What kind of a target is this for isis or any Jihadist Group . So many more questions than answers this morning. Thank you. Thank you. The fbi, secret service and d. C. Police are all still trying to figure out precisely why a man approached the white house friday with a gun in his hand and refused orders to stop.

Jacob rascon, thank you. Months after giving testimony in a civil case against your husband, we are getting a first look at what Camille Cosby had to say about the Sexual Assault accusations against her husband, bill. As it turns out, there was a lot she refused to talk about. Morgan radford is here with more on that. Reporter it was interesting not only what he did say but more importantly what she didnt say. While her husband became americas favorite tv dad, Camille Cosby often shied away from the spotlight. Now his wife of more than 50 years and his business manager, Camille Cosby has been thrust back into the limelight in this civil trial, where several women claimed her husband not only assaulted them but called them liars. Reporter Camille Cosby refused to answer questions nearly 100 times, citing spousal privilege as prosecutors questioned her about the accusations that her husband sexually assaulted seven women. We think she has Important Information to provide to us. Reporter on whether her husband acted with a lack of integrity, cosby said i am not answering that. On whether it was deceitful to pay more than 100,000 todays a woman who may be the product of an extramarital affair that began in the 70s, i do not have an opinion, she said. Finally, an admission. It was a big deal then, yes. If bill cosby had something to hide, we see his wife in these depositions potentially helping him hide it. If people believe bill cosby and his wife, they may interpret her stonewalling as simply her response to what she sees as an unreasonable witch hunt. Mr. Cosby, you want to say anything . Cosby repeatedly denied all claims of sexual misconduct. Theres no response. Reporter while his wife, often illusive has stayed in the background. At the end of the day, a jury is going to determine who has more credibility, the seven women that we represent or is it bill cosby . Reporter more than 40 women have identified themselves as victims. Just this week, 26yearold chloe goens filed a lawsuit against hugh hefner. He gave sealed testimony on wednesday in a suit filed by judy huff, saying cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him at the playboy mansion in 1974 when she was just 15. Allegations against a once gregarious husband and now a virtually silent wife. Camille cosby remained publicly committed to her husbands innocence. The comedian has five criminal cases still pending.
