Down and just taking images of the bottom. we heard recently that just today the problem was apparently that visibility is very bad. they sent dives down to try to visually identify the parts of the aircraft. the divers couldn't because the visibility is so bad. sonar should be able to take images nevertheless. they don't require optical visibility. they use sound. they should be able to use the pieces anyway it seems to me. >> and hopefully for the families who are waiting there in surabaya for the answers, they'll be able to employ all the resources to get the victims recovered and salvage t...

Flight 8501 seen right there, tried to navigate through a crowded route to singapore. that's nothing compared to what you see on the right. that is what air traffic control was like between atlanta and new york at that same time early in the morning. you can see how quickly all those planes get up in the air on those early-morning routes. joining me now to talk about this jeff wise and dan duke also allen bell. allen, let me ask you this. you have both perspectives, being a former navy pilot and an air traffic controller. how often do you get in situations where a pilot requests to move up mov...

Wouldn't worry about altitude he would worry about attitude how stable is his airplane in terms of his horizon. >> what do you make jeff? >> well airbuses are built with something called envelope protection. when you're flying them around normally the plane will not let you put it into a situation beyond its flight envelope or to stall, for instance. you can get into situations -- this happened with air france 447 where if the sensors get clogged for instance and the computer isn't able to make sense of what it's doing it will turn itself off and hand itself over to the pilot. in a normal situ...

Not time to recover. we had some upset incidents back in the early '90s that began a new training process just to reacquaint ourselves with unusual late ti attitude. something we got in primary flight training. >> one last question in here about the new information given that they i.d.'d a woman who still had her i.d. on her body and was wearing jewelry. does that give us any more clues? >> it's hard to draw too many conclusions. different parts of the airplane could experience different conditions in terms of the break up. if you're right where the hull ruptures and you get sucked out you'll ...
