These events in isolation and then look at the common denominator. mh-370 it is very certain, based on the information thus far, it's an intentional act. someone deliberately wanted to lose that airplane flew it off into the abyss over the indian ocean. that was an intentional act. hh-17 was an intentional act. the crew was doing their normal routine. they deviated around weather and unfortunately got into air space where they were having a war and they got shot down. >> let's not count that one, what happened in ukraine, that's an entirely different incident. >> that's malaysia air. right now...

Pilots have gotten themselves into a thunderstorm and just by the up and down drafts and violence that takes place, the air plane has been torn apart. however with commercial airliners they are very robust with a very strong structure. while we all want to avoid flying through thunderstorms as pilots we try to maintain that 20 mile radius around a thunderstorm. if a commercial airliner gets into a thunderstorm like that while it may not totally destroy the aircraft it could create some damage to the aircraft and render the airplane incapacitated so the flight crew cannot control it. >> well i'...

Stage. but the airplane turned left. then something occurred that required the attention of the pilots to the point that they did not contact air traffic control. that's appropriate. first you fly the jet. you maintain control of it. you do the necessary and proper procedures and only then would you advise air traffic control. what occurred we don't know yet. >> some folks are saying this plane may have been flying too slowly around the neighborhood of 400 miles an hour. how could that have contributed what happened? >> this loss of ground speed is indicative that the airplane is flying slower...

When you do these kind of investigations you talk more about evidence. we are reporting about the likelihood that the plane is actually down and in the ocean. walk us through the process, day three of the search what kind of evidence these folks are looking at and how that adds up to the story we're being told about what happened. >> from my perspective, it was similar to value jet. you have a two-part process here. we're trying to recover the wreckage because that will give us evidence or clues as to what occurred with the aircraft. hopefully we'll know exactly how the airplane broke up, whet...
