Have been looking for, flight radar 24 and what ron did is what tom costello did, is that spreadsheet, is that they were looking at how the plane's a lot tud was changing and it may have been a porpoising if you will trying to stay in the air, are those pieces of data correct? >> if that radar 24 data is correct, is that shortly after they announced that they had a technical problem, started down in a controlled descent, that increased up to about 6,000 feet a minute. that is within the normal flight parameters of a commercial airliner including the airbus a-321. what that says is that the tec...

Carriers worldwide are resistant to change. particularly when you have an accident like this that they view as it's a one in a million, it's a one off. the reality is you could have streaming, you could set up parameters in which the streaming only begins when the plane is out of its flight parameters out of its approved flight plan then it starts. it sends out alerts. i think it's overdue. it ought to be done. >> yeah the technology is clearly there and i think the pressure is going to intensify. jim bittermann and peter goelsz thanks very much. the investigation into a terror attack in texas...

And deviations about and rates of speed of altitude as is transponder enhanced raw dar. if an aircraft went to 45,000 feet, in had particular case, the 777, it is not designed to do this. it is outside of its flight parameters. if it was being hand flown and it had to have been hand flown, simply because the autopilot would not go up to that altitude. if it was hand flown, it would be very -- what we call squirrely. it would wobble and be very uncontrollable. if it dove to 23,000 feet at the rate that they claim it was, this would be beyond the fuselage's capability to stay together and it wou...

Surface, it's hard to say, but probably tens of miles if it's not buried in wreckage or the sea mud. >> do you agree that it must have been something catastrophic that happened quickly? >> i think all indications are that it was something catastrophic that happened quickly, we just don't know yet what it was. and we probably will not know until the wreckage is found and the recorders have been recovered and analyzed, hopefully they'll provide useful data about what was said and done on the cockpit in the cockpit and what the flight parameters were in the moments leading up to this event. >> al...

The sea floor, buried in aircraft wreckage that obscures the signal. and it assumes that vessels looking for it are within range of that acoustic beacon. >> how far away can they be? >> i think it depends on the conditions in the ocean, how deep it is, and whether there's a thermal layer, temperature gradient that might channel the acoustic signal away from the surface, it's hard to say, but probably tens of miles if it's not buried in wreckage or the sea mud. >> do you agree that it must have been something catastrophic that happened quickly? >> i think all indications are that it was somethi...
