Proposed in the crash of airasia flight 8501 is that the jet stalled in flight. experts say the plane could have been flying too slow or climbing too steeply in the bad weather. in that last critical period the pilot would have had just seconds to react. i spoke with captain sully sullenberger who landed his crippled jet on the hudson five years ago in what has become known as the miracle on the hudson. i asked what a pilot should do if a plane loses power or stalls. >> first, you take control of the airplane and you learn to find out what you can trust and what you can't. if you have visual r...

We may never know what happened in the last moments of airasia flight 8501. one theory suggested that the pilot may have tried to land on the ocean. we know from sully sullenberger's miracle on the hudson landing his crippled jet on the river that it is possible under the right conditions, but in the roiling java sea during a storm? i asked about that. >> that's an interesting problem too, it's been done. it's more challenging, obviously in the open ocean than an inland waterway but in the united states in our flight simulators, it's not possible to practice a water landing. before our water l...

Room" yesterday and he talked with cnn's brianna keilar how difficult a landing would be. >> that's an interesting problem too. it's been done. it's more challenging, obviously, in the open ocean than in inland waterway. at least in the united states in our flight simulators it's not possible to practice a water landing. for our water landing the only training we had gotten for a water landing was a classroom discussion. there was a checklist. there was protocol. we had never done it. we had one chance to get the right something we never anticipated or specifically trained for and being in the...

Of water here. can you make that kind of landing on the java sea in the storm? >> that's an interesting problem, too. it's been done especially in an inland waterway but at least in the united states and our flight simulators it's not possible to practice a water landing. before our water landing the only training we'd gotten in the water landing was a theoretical checklist and protocol and we had one chance to get right something we never anticipated and never specifically trained for and being in the open ocean would be a much more challenging situation and over water in general, it's terrai...

>> yesterday officers from royal mission police visited the home of the pilot. >> it seemed like a potential lead until investigators declared it a dead end. >> the examination of the flight simulators revealed nothing suspicious for the authorities. >> and nothing came of speculation about his marriage or political leanings. like first officer fariq, zaharie lacked any apparent motive. >> many aspects of the case had been centered on the captain, and the more they looked, the less they found. >> i just don't see any logic. i don't see any reason he would want to be a rogue pilot. >> zaharie's...
