>> right after i call god, the sound disappear and the pressure drop down. >> finally after falling more than 30,000 feet in less than two and a half minutes, the nose begins to pitch up and the airplane levels out at 9,500 feet. >> the captain used very artful flying to recover the aircraft from the bad situation. unfortunately, it was that same pilot who put the airplane in that bad situation. >> flight 006 is no long near a nosedive but they are not out of danger. the crew realizes with drag from the landing gear, they won't have enough fuel to make it to los angeles. instead, they will try...

>> but when they did that, they no longer had air flow across the flight controls. >> they did a very good job of trying to get control of the airplane. but they just didn't have enough altitude and enough time to do it. >> the plane staggers up to 325 feet. as it's rolled on to its side and now slowed down, it is uncontrollable, and goes into a nose dive. >> american 191, heavy. want to come back into what runway? >> he's not talking to me. >> well, he's going to lose awareness. there he goes. there he goes. >> within 31 seconds of the engine severing from the plane, the dc-10 slams into a tr...

>> i would believe there are other parts out there. when you look at the flaps, the other flight controls, those are the most fragile on an airplane. they were only held on by hinge brackets and etc. you are going to find those type of flight controls. they will be buoyant. they may be sub surface, just below the surface so they may be difficult to detect until they are washed up. -- >> so let me ask you. would you in a situation like this when you have found this debris, and i would say perhaps even accidently, the fact that it washed up on the shore, does this rejuvenate investigators to go ...

Airline sector, nothing happen that had would this anyway affect the mechanical situation with the planes. or the navigation for that matter. all of that communication happens on completely separate and secure networks. but when you talk about the reservation system and apparently we're looking at some route their connects to the reservation system you're looking at something that is much more open. no one has said that they expect any sort of deliberate attack but airline reservation systems are a frequent subject of different types of cyber attacks because you can mess with them to potential...
