The stopover in seoul where it took off around 4:30 local time. melissa, thank you so much for that. captain, i want to bring you back in because we have been looking at the tail of the plane for p of the afternoon and i think we have got a close shot of that tail that we will try and about pull up. there it is right this. >> yeah. >> the tail of the plane that we identified at the end of the runway closer to the seawall than it is the absolutely aircraft that the point. that tail looks to be for the most part fairley intact, no? >> the tail itself but it definitely come loose. when we talk ab...
