>> and correct me if i'm wrong, as a result of this new development, the likelihood that there was a catastrophic mechanical error as opposed to some human getting involved and doing this, the likelihood of mechanical problem has dimmed. >> that's right. the mechanical structural has reduced and human increased. >> so where does that leave the investigation now, tom? you've led these investigations in the past. i know there is cooperation with the malaysians but there are a lot of questions out there. >> there is no question about that but what this means is that even from the beginning they w...

Believe, and of course, you're not going to know this. it's all speculation at this point, but i'm inclined to believe that when you add up all the pieces that we know at this point, that the airplane deviated from its course, the transponder was off, there was no communication, and without having the voice recorder, the cockpit voice recorder and certainly the flight data recorder, you don't even know who was in the cockpit or who was let into the cockpit. who was flying, whether there was a struggle. whether somebody had a meltdown. so might thinking tends to be something a little bit more n...
