120, good night. Good night, malaysia 370. Good day, im Andrea Mitchell in washington. The heavy rain has finally stopped but the relentless downpour left behind a path of destruction. Record flooding and sinkholes from the panhandle to the midatlantic states. Crews used boats to rescue trapped riders who took refuge on top of a city bus. In baltimore, the water swpt away a road dumping cars on pt Railroad Tracks below. In pensacola, flooding may have caused a gas explosion that caused a jail to collapse killing to two inmates overnight. Gabe gutierrez is outside the jail and joins me now. Gabe, theres a lot of confusion as to what happened and how many were injured or rescued from this collapsed jail. Tell us the latest. Andrea, good afternoon, we have received conflicting and confusing information from county officials throughout the morning. Initially we were told two inmates were con fermed dead and everyone else was accounted for. Recently within the past hour or so, weve heard from the county sheriff who says that two people are confirmed dead but that three people are unaccounted for. We dont know if those three are whether they escaped or whether they are in the hospital. Were hoping to find out more information in an afternoon News Conference with possibly an atf official which is now part of the investigation. Let me step out of the way here were getting a closer look at the damage. This explosion happened around 11 00 last night. More than 100 people were injured. They were taken to local hospitals, were told that most of them have minor injuries and investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what caused this. This building suffered extensive flooding yesterday and investigators are trying to figure out what role that plaled in this apparent gas explosion, but the latest here is that two inmates are confirmed dead. Right now the latest information we have is that three of them are unaccounted for and we do not know if those three unaccounted for, if they could be among the dead, that there could be more fatalities, we dont know if the inmates may have escaped and we dont know whether they are in the hospital. Andrea, back to you. Thanks so much for the latest from florida. For the first time in the 55 days since the Malaysian Airlines jet went missing, families are hearing what could be the final communication from the cockpit. The malaysian government just released cockpit audio recordings and new detailed timeline. Tom costello has more. Good afternoon, malaysia is urging family members of those missing on flight 370 to go home, not to hang out or camp out any longer in kuala lumpur. Go to the comforts of their home in beijing or whatever to await word. That said, the malaysians have now released this time line and theres something striking about it. Lets look at what it looks like here. At 12 41 a. M. , flight 370 departed kuala lumpur. We knew that already. That was part of the record at 1 19 it was handed to vietnam hes air Traffic Controllers and 1 21 it disappeared from radar. 1 37 a. M. Controllers began inquiring about where is the missing plane. A 17minute gap from when it was last when it disappeared from radar to the time controllers in vietnam said wait a minute we havent seen this plane, where is it . And this is the most concerning lapse, a fourhour gap until 5 30 in the morning before the search and rescue center was activated. With that as the timeline here are the final words, youre going to hear them and they are very u teen and common air traffic conversation between the controlling and pilot. Malaysian 370 maintaining level 350. Malaysian 370. Malaysian 370 maining level 350. Malaysian 370. Malaysian 370 contact up good night. Good night malaysia 370. What happened there . It was a very normal conversation. The only thing that was abnor l abnormal, the pilot said twice hes maintaining 35,000 feet and very normal for the controller to say im handing you off to Ho Chi Minh City control. This is the cargo manifest and tells us what was in the cargo hold and heres what it is, kourier material, letters and fedex packages and things like that potentially, also a fruit was on board being sold or shipped to beijing and then consolidated cargo, we believe Electronics Gear and that included lithium ion batteries although they make it clear they were packaged and shipped according to regulations. In other words there had been concern over the years lithium ion batteries can catch fire but they make a point of saying they were packaged appropriately. So not a whole heck of a lot new on these pieces of information provided by the malaysian government as to what happened to flight 370. The search continues off the coast of australia. We still now eight weeks nearly into this missing plane have not yet heard or seen a single piece of wreckage, not a single floating piece of debris despite this massive search thats been conducted on the search on the Ocean Surface as well as in the air and of course as you know, bluefin, 21, the underwater submersible thats looking for signs of debris so far has come up empty after finishing first search zone. Back to you. Tom, were also seized with this because there has been such a mystery. There have been precedents where we dont find out what has happened to a plane and eventually we do and they are rare. What about the families . This seems to be an indication when they are being told go home, there isnt a great expectation they are going to find anything any time soon . Thats exactly right. The malaysians have been on the record for some time saying they dont believe the people on board this plane will ever be found alive, that this is a search and hopefully at some Point Recovery mission. Many of the families of course were reluctant to embrace that because they didnt want to give up hope that their loved one is dead. Now the malaysians are saying, were two months into this and dont have any evidence nearly two months. Any evidence of where the plane went over than those faint satellite pings provided by the british Satellite Company and until we find something, its probably best that you leave the hotel room that youre staying in, malaysian government has been providing hotel rooms and go home to the comforts of your own home. When we find something, well let you know, the australians are on the record saying it could take six to eight months until they continue or complete the search zone with the under water submersibles. Tom costello, thank so much for that complete briefing. We appreciate it. Benghazi is back in the news today a day after conservative wat watchgroup obtained a memo and the memo outlines az long list of possible questions and answers. A question she should be asked and answers of Foreign Policy that she could provide on israel, iran and a lot of other things, but benghazi was on list. They were trying to spin the cause of the strategy and minimize Foreign Policy missteps. House republicans today see this as a smoking gun memo. Do they ever tell you to go save the people in benghazi . Not to my knowledge, sir. We didnt run to the sound of the guns. They were issuing press releases. We had americans dying. We had dead people wounded people and our military didnt try to engage in the fight. Would you disagree with that . Four individuals died and we did not sporespond in time to g there. Could we have . The gentlemans time has expired. Go ahead. We may have been able to but well never know. Joining me now for a daily fix, david gregory, moderator of meet the press who asked questions of then ambassador rice and the rest is history as we say. This is the memo and well put it up on the screen. The white house is pushing back very hard saying it wasnt benghazi memo. But clearly this was preparing susan rice to go on television on sunday to go on meet the press and talk about they knew that benghazi was going to be a key question. On page two, the guidance was to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. So there was a very contentious briefing yesterday and the briefing is underway and hasnt gotten to benghazi yet today. This is reopening this issue. Where do we stand . Is this are the facts settled and is this a political issue for republicans or is this a real question . Certainly its a political issue but i dont know everything is settled. I think its confusing and there are conflicts and thats part of all of this. I want to say, the white house briefing, jay carney was just asked about this and we can get you to respond. Im happy to cooperate in any way that congress wants. We have provided every bit of information that we have right. That email was not provided . Have you heard the email, jim . I have it in front of me. Heres the thing. Back a year ago now roughly when republicans on capitol hill were feeding information to reporters about what was in a bunch of emails that had been given to congressional investigators, feeding false information about what was in those emails and in those talking points that were produced by the cia, we voluntarily released all of the information regarding those talking points causing these organizations to have to correct what they reported because it turned out to be false because they were lied to by folks on capitol hill about what was contained within them. Youve seen the Deputy Director of the cia testify repeatedly, including last week that he produced those the cia produced those talking points and made the decisions about what ultimately would go in the talking points. And that he felt no political influence from the white house or anywhere else about what should go in, the talking points that were such a focus of conversation. Talking points that were provided to both members of congress and by this administration to our representative who was going out on the sunday shows to talk about benghazi and Everything Else that was happening in the muslim world at the time, which included huge protests outside of numerous diplomatic facilities. Violent protests that included scaling of walls and taking down the american flag. Molotov cocktails and the like. The talking points that ambassador rice used again produced by the Intelligence Community four members of congress and in the interest of having everybody use the same information used by by ambassador rice were divulged and like so many of the conspiracy theories promulgated from republicans, this one turned out to be bogus, right . The documents released in through a request from the state department that include the email youre talking about are explicitly about the broader areas separate from the attack on benghazi talking points, it talks about the goal being to underscore the protests are rooted in an internet did you say protests . You said protests, right . Read the talking points. They are about q and a about protests happening everywhere. At that time that was this this administrations explanation as to what happened. No, no, lets just get to the facts here, okay. So the cia talking points currently available administration suggests they were spontaneously inspired in cairo and evolved into an attack against the consulate. And that led to talking points that were a discuss for some time that produced another dry hole in the effort to prove a conspiracy by republicans. As mike morrell, deputy cia doctors and others have testified, this was testified about what was the currently information suggests, a lot of it was murky then and some turn the out to be different from what an analyst thought was a case at the time was something we discussed repeatedly. The fact of the matter is and i would encourage you too go back and look at what was happening and how what was being reported during that entire week, is that there were potentially dangerous and violent and even fatal protests happening at facilities everywhere. So there was these basic toplines about that. On the specific issue of the benghazi attack. Our representative relied on points provided to congress and to administration that were produced by the Intelligence Community and i feel like weve been through that. Is there nothing theres nothing in the emails yesterday. If the email youre talking about had been if you had seen it earlier, what would you have said . It doesnt have a barg on the cia talking points that we released because republicans were staffers on the hill were feeding them to some reporters and falsely characterizing them and we felt it was necessary to set the record straight. Voluntarily, we jay carney, again, trying to explain what he has not been able to explain, what the white house has had difficulty explaining in the last 24 hours, why this memo was not released at the same time as the others. Right. Finally under pressure released all of the other documents. They didnt release this memo and this is a typical briefing memo for an official going out on sunday television to face you, david on meet the press and answer questions about a lot of things. One paragraph, another one we didnt put up on the screen to suggest to rice, what is your response to the independent story, independent newspaper in london, that says we have intelligence, 48 hours in advance of the benghazi attack that was ignore. Was this an intelligence failure . The answer that it suggests she provide is were not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack in benghazi was planned or imminent. The currently available information suggests that the dmoen stragss were spontaneously inspired by the protest in cairo and evolved into an attack against the u. S. Consulate and an nex. Part of the controversy is they knew at the time that there weres there was contradictory information from the Intelligence Community that it was a spontaneous or planned protest at the consulate in benghazi by this organization that was affiliated with al qaeda or supported al qaeda. So there is a conflict there. Look, i think at the end of this its important to ask the fundamental question, did the government fail to call this attack what it was when they knew what it was . Which was a terrorist attack. We were months before the election and was there an attempt to say we got a strong president , strong on terrorism, we dont want to do anything that undermines that. Lets soft cell this. This been at the root of this. As to the question of transparency and why wasnt this memo released before to me if the request is related to benghazi, the first two of the four goals is about again gaz zi, its clear from the programs, including meet the press, we were going to talk to susan rice about benghazi. It seems odd they wouldnt have released this. There is a conflict between the Intelligence Community saying a spontaneous attack and what they are saying here, it was rooted in an internet video. Was that a leap too far . The cia chief testifying last month that was not the case about the video. But clearly the talking points indicated that the video was involved. Theres some conflict here obviously in how the administration was discussing all of this. I think there are the question is still do we know everything we need to know. And the broader debate, andrea, there will be some who will debate, did the government did everything they could to save four americans killed. Bigger debate Hillary Clinton will face, this is what happens when you invade a country and then decide to have a light footprint afterwards when things go side ways and become chaotic, was the policy wrong to have such a light footprint. Thats the stepback question. Exactly. In fact, the general, the Brigadier General from the africa command, they were stationed in germany, italy or germany, didnt have a forward basing. They were hours and hours away. Thats one of the takeaways. Have we improved security at these consulates and embassies . Have they met that obligation since . Thats an ongoing question and something that the administration has conceded and their independent review conceded that security was totally lacking, was not was not up to it. Again, the reality is, not only the question of whether this was an intelligence failure, whether on 9 11 of all days, the government was not appropriately prepared for the prospect of a terror attack. That is a seriously system a question that i think strong criticism. When this gets into the political arena, you go off in lots of Different Directions about whos tough on television, whos soft on 200terrorism. We can focus on areas of conflict that arise and get to the bottom of the conflicts. To me today the question is as you look at this email, it is clearly an attempt by a Foreign Policy aide to show the president in the best light and make sure the u. S. Ambassador is arguing that the strength and sted fast and stedyness in dealing with difficult challenges. They are trying to protect this president before political attack months before an election. Thats not unusual but not often pretty to look at. When you look into this context of national security. One other thing, last week Hillary Clinton was in sedona at john mccains institute at the private gathering but doing the mccain annual mccain Foreign Policy review. And she sort of road tested the chapter on benghazi shes writing in her book and talked to this audience about benghazi. Shes still grappling with it as she writes her book. As these things come up and new revelations and questions if we didnt get complete answers, there are going to be questions about was this deceit, tunnel vision . These questions are going to continue. David gregory, thank you so much. Started it all in the first place. This place. Thats why i got a new windows 2 in 1. It has exactly what i need for half of what i thought id pay. And i dont need to be online for it to work. It runs office, so i can do schedules and budgets and even menu changes.
