In fact there mavis a computer coded message, via the transponder of a distress call but that turns out to not be the case. it appears there was literally radio silence from this plane all the way down until it hit the mountain. that would therefore suggest to some investigators and some pilots that the crew simply was either so busy dealing with whatever emergency was on their hands that they couldn't talk on the microphone or they were incapacitated, maybe due to hypoxia or a smoke event? if it was hypoxia, if they had a decompression event and they realized it at 38,000 feet, the normal cou...

A.m. and all the way to 6800 feet by 10:40.37. that means that this plane went down or descended 32,000 feet over the course of about eight minutes. that's 4,000 feet per minute. that's on the fast side of a descent. not out of the normal range but it certainly is a rather rapid descent. but here's the issue. if this was designed -- in other words if the pilots did that manually why did the plane then apparently crash into a mountain? if the plane was going down on autopilot and pilots were able to set it for descent, a rapid descent rkts why did they not try to level out at 10,000 feet which ...

Problem, mayday, nothing of that order at all. we had an initial, early report in fact there mavis a computer coded message, via the transponder of a distress call, but that turns out to not be the case. it appears there was literally radio silence from this plane all the way down until it hit the mountain. that would therefore suggest to some investigators and some pilots that the crew simply was either so busy dealing with whatever emergency was on their hands that they couldn't talk on the microphone, or they were incapacitated, maybe due to hypoxia or a smoke event? if it was hypoxia, if t...

Ocean if they're lucky is a black box. and as we've said, they're not black, they're orange because that's the mandate from the federal government since the 1960s. so you can spot one of these easily in wreckage. in a plane wreckage. but specifically, here's the pinger on the end of it that now has about, we're told, less than two weeks of mandatory battery life in it. it may be going longer than that, but it is required to go for 30 days, and we've now used up more than half of that time already. in the black box itself, there are two components to the black box, right? there's the cockpit vo...
