Not there was enough oversight here, whether there was a slip in the manufacturing process, again, why inspectors did not find it before it went into service. this is a very new aircraft and alaska only accepted it in october a few short weeks ago and whether or not how many flights is made, when it is done and why didn't get the proper inspection before it actually conducted these flights and why this is happening on the back end as opposed to the front end of some of this oversight. at least 11 people, including five children, have been killed in a russian missile strike in eastern ukraine, ...

There's any kind of problem, weakness in the manufacturing process of these particular parts. and that will be part of the investigation. >> yeah, as we heard during the news conference, the faa says the plane was i think delivered in november. i mean, that's not long ago. is it a concern that an aircraft that new has a problem this early in its flight? >> yes, it is. because, you know, over time, over the last two or three decades every time that newer aircraft are introduced, the safety record improves. why? because we have so many more safety improvements, safety inventions, collision avoid...

Oversight here, whether there was a slip in the manufacturing process, again, why inspectors didn't catch it first before it went into service. this is a very new aircraft. alaska airlines only accepted it in october, a few short weeks ago. so, whether or not, you know, how many flights it's made, what it's done, why it didn't get the proper inspection, perhaps, before it actually conducted these flights over the last several weeks and, again, why this is happening on the back end, as opposed to the front end, of some of these — this oversight. at least 11 people, including five children, ha...

Sound real urgent, but they need that door and they need those parts. but they do have -- and they mention this was a very good point. they've got the other door on the opposite side of the aircraft that without a doubt they'll be taking apart, looking at the parts, looking at all the metallurgy. and they also know obviously the supplier and who manufactured these. they literally can go right now and look at other parts that are being supplied to boeing and see if there's an issue in the manufacturer. and remember every part that is made for aircraft, not only is the part -- and not only are t...
