Third party. the third party communicates then every 15 minutes to air traffic, any country. that plane is tracked along precise routes over the ocean and supposed to report every 15 minutes. that's the primary communication. secondary systems, and the 777 has so much redundancy, it's hard to believe it would lose it all at once. secondary communication is a constant feed of data back to airline operations on every aspect of engine performance and how that plane is performing. so there's, you know, and the transponder then is the last layer of protection. it's a safety device that, in fact, th...

Satellite. i would not take off the possibility, the list of possibilities that this still involves some sort of catastrophic event, that they tried to turn back and they were incapacitated. it has to be among the theories. >> what do you make of this reporting on the engine and internal components of the engine manufactured by rolls royce sending back some data to boeing and rolls royce. it's unclear who's receiving the data if any. the malaysian government did not actual -- the malaysian airline did not actually subscribe to the service that would have entitled them to that data? >> all of o...
