everyone. how do you contend the airplane flew so far south into the indian ocean in your hypothetical scenario? well, all of the theories that we have are still theories and speculation, say that over and over. even mine has holes in it, you just pointed out, made a great point, that the bottom line is how did it fly because my experience with jet engines, even efficient jet engines, how it got that far into the southern indian ocean, i can t tell you. especially at low altitude. if it was higher altitude, it makes sense. there s holes in every theory and every speculative idea we have come up with. why are you saying fire? it is a gut thing. just by the fact that the last verbal communication indicated everything was okay with the airplane, and then what we seem to confirm as credible
more information we don t know. let s talk about what he said. les abend. when you hear this from the u.s. defense secretary, not ruling out terrorism here, almost to week three, what is your reaction to that. my reaction, that s a smart statement. i am not ruling out anything, i m not stuck to a particular theory. i know i have written an article with regards to the scenario of fire and smoke, but there are holes in that theory, as there is in a hijacking theory also. okay. let me run through a couple questions we have been getting from viewers, and combing the twitter. here is one from a number of viewers, wondering what are the lanc chances the plane could be intact somewhere in the ocean? highly improbable, highly improbable, even if the airplane
company. the objects are scattered in this massive area. this is a 154 square mile area, about 1600 miles off australia, and it is 2:15 local time in perth. in a couple hours when daybreak happens, search planes will head out again for a closer look and the potential debris field may tell us approximately where flight 370 ended. but still, not why. an aviation specialist says mechanical problem makes the most sense to him. given what we know, and it is not a lot, but we re learning a little more, he hypothesizes a smoldering fire in the electronics and engineering compartment. welcome back. i read your piece two times through here, it is very specific, points zero through 11. let me have you simplify it for
plastic material that might e out there. but one of the things they re going to be looking at and one of the things that s a significant part of this investigation that needed to be ruled out eventually is looking for fire and soot and other evidence of a preimpact fire very well still may be on the wreckage, so it doesn t rule out the ability to see those type of evidence or clue. we know they re looking ultimately, talking about the debris field, they want to trace it back to the black box to find out what happened. is it possible if you re flying a plane, you re in the cockpit, don t know if anything nefarious happened, could you mess with the black box or is it perfectly intact safe, no one can there s no access from the cockpit. at the most, a circuit breaker which could turn it off, but it is way in the back of the plane, it is back there for a reason, to protect from crash impact forces. in the tail section. yes, it is attached some
information, a left turn is to me a turn that involves a diversionary airport, and it is a crew that may be fighting a potential what makes the most sense is we talked about decompression, we talked about the fire scenario. the fire scenario makes more sense because now we have an airplane that ends up in the middle of nowhere and i see the crew being overcome by a slow burning smoke situation that might be toxic and eventually when breathing under stress with oxygen mask knowing if you have smoke, if you stay at altitude or even descending, you re going to breathe like you would in a scuba dive situation, more stress you re under, you breathe. you take down the oxygen tank provided for you in emergency circumstances, and that seems to be the most viable theory that works for me at this point in
