Rich area. without that it's going to be slow going. >> will it disburse any of the wreckage or maybe damage it in a way that hinders to be able to figure out what happened? >> sure. it's going to disburse the lighter weight material. it's going to spread it out. some of the bodies may also be disbursed. it's going to make that part of the investigation challenging. but the critical evidence is still in one place and hopefully will be found soon. >> david sousi, one of the things we've been talking about, a theory you had, was this thought that perhaps pitthe pilot actually made a water landin...

Here, because i know you had some concerns about the readings on this and you wanted more information before drawing conclusions. >> certainly, and i'm sure it is reliable information, but here is my point about a potential attempt to ditch the aircraft. what was interesting to me is the fact that the first set of evidence that we got was the emergency exit door for over the wing. the second thing we got was the slide itself which deploys right under that wing. the third piece of information we got was the tank that inflates that wing and then the fourth was the bodies that were located in tha...

That was found, a compressed air cylinder. what does this tell us? and if i can draw attention to this that's a crack right there that we're seeing in this metal. so what does this tell us? >> this is the cylinder most likely attached to the escape raft and escape slide that was torn loose. and this just shows the tremendous impact force, again, of the plane. but it does not show compression damage. it's relatively intact. this might have been thrown loose early in the process. >> and you think -- >> along with the raft. >> you think it might have been by that slide? >> i think so. >> is it ju...

Found. and sadly, the bodies that we have found, that we have seen a door, we've seen an escape slide. we've seen a flight attendant, we're told. those things normally go together. we've seen one or two bodies that have sadly ended up with clothing removed, which normally means that have fell some distance through the sky. i'm just wondering if what we're finding right now is an isolated event. and complete speculation on my part. but seems like there's a pattern there. there's an awful lot missing here. >> david? >> to me, there isn't much missing. like you said, david, these things go togeth...

And the tank that was with it. now, all of those things are contained. in fact the bag itself all those things are contained in the baggage compartment. and that aft baggage compartment door would have come off. the escape slide would have come out as well. and this bag is actually a flyaway kit which is used in case the aircraft has to land somewhere where there's no maintenance. it includes things like lightbulbs, oil, things like that. it's not a bag from the passengers. it's a bag that's part of the equipment on the aircraft. so i'm kind of hesitant right now to make the assumption that th...
