Meanwhile the hunt goes on for the black box. T the wreckage from the downed plane could help figure out whats gone wrong. Search teams from u. S. And European Countries continue to scour the Mediterranean Sea for debris. Egyptair 804 was at its normal cruising altitud in greek airspace when sometime after 2 00 a. M. Local time, something catastrophic happened. Greek radar showed the plane turning abruptly 90 degrees to the left then swinging through a tight 360 degree circle to the right all while dropping like a rock, one official said, then disappearing off the radar. Egypts Civil Aviation minister told us he had strong suspicions about what happened. Again, it is not a statement on behalf of the egyptian reporter its been a disastrous year for egyptian aviation.

As you can imagine, that means even more anguish for the families. Josh. Holly williams in cairo. Thank you. Now to where the flight took off from. Mark phillips, is at Charles De Gaulle airport outside paris. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Officially here in france, according to French Foreign minister there is still, quote, absolutely no indication of the cause of this crash. Although, of course, terrorism is still the prime suspect and that starts right here in paris. Security concerns have been an issue at Charles De Gaulle airport. Sin before the terrorist attacked here they will instituted a security regime not only passengers but people who work here, particularly those near an airplane, security passes have been revoked. Its wellknown in aviation circumstances according to head of Flight Operations in britain Civil Aviation authority mike vivian. It was known there had been a large number of employees who had air side clearance at paris who had their passes withdrawn. The reason was they had become radicalized. Reporter the problem is not just in paris here. The plane which has gone down over the mediterranean before leaving paris had felony from cairo to eritrea, it had flown from cairo to tunisia, and then it flew to paris. The concern is the bomb, if there was a bomb, could have been placed in any of those places. That was a concern of people who got on the next egyptair air flight to cairo. It left without incident. It has become clear Aviation Security is all subject to the people. Charlie. John miller is here, new York City Police Department Deputy minister for intelligence and counterterrorism, also former fbi assistant director and our senior correspondent. Good morning. Good morning. Good to have you this morning. What questions are they asking tonight or this morning and what should get them to the answer . So this is about people, pieces and traffic. People is what you start with, because its easier to find than a debris field in the ocean, which you take that manifest, and then you start going person by person through that background. Youre looking for people who show up in intelligence reports, who may have had some association with someone who had an association already on the radar in a terrorist group, things like that. So going through the people is the very, very first thing you do, because its available right there on the manifest. The pieces part, number two is, you have to find that debris field. Its always more challenging over water than it is over land. It appears from the reporting this morning there may be a move forward there. Youre looking for stipling, youre looking for residue. The quicker you can get that stuff out of the water helps you find whether there was traces of explosives or something that would indicate something nonmechanical. Youre also looking for indications of something mechanical. The last part traffic. You want to see what was out there in the intercepts, in the clues, in the human source reporting, in the days leading up to this and whats above the surface in that reporting and whats beneath. Its been several hours and no one has claimed responsibility yet. Does that say anything to you . Does that mean anything at all . It says a little something. But i think if you look at recent past acts downing of Russian Airline over sinai desert not that long ago, which was a terrorist act in the view of u. S. Intelligence, that claim of responsibility was a while in coming. I think the thing about the claim of responsibility is that theres a higher expectation today that something comes with it beyond the claim, that they show the bomber, they show the making of the bomb, there is a martyrdom video, theres some you know, we always talk about proof of life, this is a proof of death. What did you make of e fact that the egyptian aviation minister said in the first hours after that it was most likely terror that took down the plane . I think when you look at the odds, modern airplanes with experienced crews in good mechanical condition dont just fall from the sky. Now, im always cautious about that, because i spent a year causing the crash of twa flight over the indian ocean, many thought was an act of terrorism and it wasnt. We still have the mystery of the malaysia air flight far out in the ocean, we never found a real debris field and have no idea of the cause. Do you think theres a working assumption among people who know more than anybody else that there was an explosion on board . Yes. I think thats not hard. If youre in the counterterrorism business, you start out from that assumption and you work it backwards. The reason for that is you need the answers about this plane, but you also need the answers because youre thinking about the next plane. So if you want to know what they were thinking about all day yesterday, they were thinking about the explosion on the plane in somalia where they found the bomb was concealed inside a laptop where security was compromised, because the laptop was handed off to the bombers on the other side of security by a compromised employee. They are going to be looking at the people on the plane. They are going to be looking at the people who touched the plane from various Airport Services before its takeoff and a number of stops. They are thinking about attempted hijack of egyptair plane where somebody got on what appears to be a simulated bomb. They are going to be looking at all of that. Do you think we will reevaluate security in this country now at the airports . I think every day they are looking at what the terrorist have on the drawing board. Its very interesting, if you look at aqap or al qaedas arm in yemen, they have almost been solely focused on how to conceal bombs on planes. So its something they are thinking about every day. Its certainly something were thinking about every day. Thank you. Thanks, charlie. Well continue to bring up updates on flight 804 throughout cbs this morning including analysis from cia insider michael morell. Coverage continues all day on our 24 hour treadmillinetwork c donald trump using bill clinton to attack Hillary Clinton. The democratic frontrunner enabled behavior with women. Hillary clinton insists donald trump is unqualified for the white house. Latest poll shows this, if former president bill clinton is a lot more popular than either president ial candidate. Julianna goldman looks at trumps risky tactic. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Hillary clinton is refusing to respond to Donald Trumps personal hits and allegations but her campaign and allies are getting ready to an unprecedented fight. I look forward to debating hillary. Will that be fun. Reporter donald trump wasted no time taking a jab at Hillary Clinton wednesday using her democratic opponents words against her. Bernie sanders said hillary really isnt essentially not fit to be president. Reporter it was in response to this interview just hours before. He is not qualified to be president of the United States. Reporter Hillary Clinton said she was ready and willing to take on trump but on her terms, not his. You pick a fight with a bully, youre going to be pulled down to their level. She was an unbelievable nasty, mean enabler. Reporter it comes as he makes good on his promise to make former president bill clinton and his past scandals a liability. Trumps most recent attack dredging up this nearly 40yearold unproven allegation. Its about groping and fondling and touching against a womans will. And rape. And rape. Reporter and the Republican Party is campaigning on it. She attacked Sexual Harassment victims. Reporter spouses are typically considered off limits but the former president is not a typical spouse. Hes been a constant presence on the campaign trail making him a natural target for trump, but one that carries great risk. Among women bill clintons Favorability Ratings are higher than the Presumptive Republican nominees and his own wife, but the former president also has to be careful. He could become a liability when he goes off message. Reporter democratic strategist says the challenge will be not to fall into trumps trap. Bill clinton should not follow Donald Trumps personal attacks down into the daily rabbit hole. He should train his fire on why donald trump would be a bad president. Reporter republicans have tried and failed to make president clintons scandals a liability since the 90s. Josh, polling from this past winter showed the majority of democrats and half of republicans said that bill clintons pant indiscretions made no difference. Julianna, newly revealed audio hoping for a collapse. Comes from 2006 interview recorded for Trump University before the foreclosure crisis began. A lot of talk which you no doubt heard, too, about the socalled real estate bubble and the sort of rather gloomy predictions that the Real Estate Market is heading for a spectacular crash in the manner of the dotcombust. Whats your take on that pessimism. First of all, i sort of hope that happens, because then people like me would go in and buy, you know, if youre in a good cash position, which im in a good cash position today. Then people like me would go in and buy like crazy. Donald trump goes on to predict there probably would not be a crash. This morning were remembering a legend in the cbs family, morley safer.

It first and the marines had been sniped at and a few houses were made to pay. Where his controversial story showing u. S. Marines showing the village shocked the nation and enraged the pentagon. This is what the war in vietnam is all about. The president thought he might be a communist.

And boy, did he have a way with women. You want to ask me or do you want me to whip it out for you. Whip it out for me. I consider myself a hostage in the house of injustice. It was the story about wrongful imprisonment that morley was the most proud. To make that kind of difference, to save a life, is pretty hot stuff. An accomplished career, he reflected on on my show in 1973. Any regrets about this career you have here . Gosh, no. Nothing. You wouldnt have done anything different . How talk about a lucky and blessed life as a journalist. Wow. Its the greatest compliment i think you can pay a writer, to have wished to have written their words. He was such an inspiration. Pdid you ever meet him, john. Once. Charlie, tell us about him. Hes all the things they have been saying. He was a great craftsman. He had a huge curiosity. He loved life. And the kind of stories he did, especially in the last half of his career at 60 minutes reflected his passion for living and for writing. Yeah. He will be missed here, but what a good life.
