good news in this is that as you say, one of the flight recorders, that's the cockpit voice recorder has been recovered. and that will tell air accident investigators what the pilots were saying not just to air traffic control, but to each other, and it will pick up any ambient noise in the cockpit, including any flight attendants who may have come in to report anything untoward in the great body of the plane. but at the moment here the search is suspended, a somber mood here. and it will resume at first light, for the remains of 150 people who have died onboard that plane. chris? >> nbc news chief global correspondent, bill neely, thank you so much. joining me now, former ntsb board member katie higgins. miss higgins, it seems to me that almost the biggest anomaly here is that rapid descent, a few minutes after it reached cruising altitude. what possible theories do we have about what could cause that

investigation? >> i don't think so wolf. if you look at that briefing that they did, it's a very thorough briefing one of the best i have seen. very thorough very complete and not belabored. i think they're doing a great job with it. the ntsb has offered to assist. if they do get short of manpower they will ask for that. we will see how that goes for the future. >> i ask the question because the two black boxes are manufactured in the united states. it's possible u.s. experts are more -- better equipped to deal with what's in the black boxes than maybe the french are. >> no i don't think so. i think they have equal capabilities because the manufacturer assures that they do before they are even able to open that box. they have to be certified to be able to open those box and have equal capabilities. >> good point. richard, in november, an airbus a slightly larger version, dropped 4,000 feet in one minute during a flight after the autopilot unexpectedly lowered the jet's nose.

they believe the plane flew to the end and the debris field suggests there wasn't an explosion in mid flight. we're back with our analysts. there was are three fbi agents on the ground investigating with interpole and their french spanish, german counterparts. >> the fbi agents would be gathering data about the passengers the manifest any other information, evidence at the site that the plane exploded. the fact the debris field is littered with tiny pieces indicates it was probably not blown out of the sky which causes big pieces to come down. just to provide assistance and particularly with the passengers and the crew to track them down all over the world where the countries they are coming from. >> david, could france's bea there, their bureau that's responsible for investigating these kinds of crashes, do you think they will ask the ntsb here in the united states to assist them in this

national police authorities of their individual countries. i have to say, wolf although i've also been a proponent of keeping terrorism option it does seem unlikely baring in mind the circumstances of this case. >> peter, you have done investigations when you are at the ntsb in which you looked at the pilot or the co-pilot. what are you looking at when you take a close look at those two men or women in the cockpit? >> you review their behavior over the past 72 hours, over the past week. you look at their bank accounts. you interview their family and friends to see if they were under any particular stress whether there was anything new that happened in their lives that might have lent them into a depression. there's lots of things you would look for just to see if there was anything out of the ordinary. 99.9% of the time you find nothing. but you have to look. >> one famous case where you did

land with only half the mission accomplished. that really is a huge international effort to find the plane and also its passengers. we know of course as you've said there are two u.s. ships on site at this point helping. there's also assets from australia, from france russia, malaysia, singapore, just to name a few. but of course without better weather, there really is a limit to what they can do. >> paula hancocks, good work. thanks very much. let's continue the conversation. joining us our aviation analyst, miles o'brien, our aviation analyst, former ntsb managing director peter goelz, tom fuentes, former fbi assistant director also joining us cnn analyst david gallo, the woods hull oceanographic institution. they may have found the suspected tail of the plane, according to reuters. how significant would that be given the fact that both the

doing? the ceo has been quick to jump on any speculation and say we're not sure yet. >> that's right. and the ceo has done a fantastic job, i think, of doing just that. the other thing that's happening is that the passengers and the families -- excuse me the families of the passengers -- have been briefed. they're continually being briefed. the ntsb and faa have started after investigations a daily routine of doing that. the information has to go to those family members first. if it leaks out to the news or the team starts separating the information, it can really paint a picture that is not accurate whatsoever. all of those facts and details are interconnected and have to be put out together as an analysis and as a good report and not simply leaked out like it was in 370. >> right. all right, guys thank you very much. stick around. we're going to talk about this a little bit later in the hour. also our experts are going to answer your questions.
