Welcome back to "hardball." more now on the investigation into what happened to malaysian air flight 17. president obama called for an international inquiry. that's easier said than done since the site of the crash is in a war zone. international investigators trying to explore the site met with hostility by the local rebels in charge today. said they weren't granted access nor did they have freedom of movement. they said they would need to negotiate for more time tomorrow. how can the world find out what happened if investigators have to negotiate with the rebels who are the prime suspects? r...

released intercepted phone calls between pro russian are separatists talking about the atta attacks. nbc news has not confirmed their authenticity. all 298 people aboard were killed in the deadliest aviation incident since 9/11. among the victims were 80 children. also a number of the world's top aids activists and reare searchers on their way to a conference in australia. at least one victim was american. the majority, 189 passengers in all came from the netherlands. today that country is reeling from the news. friends and family remembered their loved ones. >> it's a young funny co...

The suicide theory doesn't make sense either. we don't have a motive but maybe it is because the police haven't finished their investigation. motive in any crime, is just as important as opportunity. we don't have a motive. if it was pilot suicide, why ply for seven hours. presumably, the co-pilot and others would have picked something up. i'm not willing to rule out the possibility of a mechanical failure. we know the transponder has been turned off. we just don't know why. >> most people think if it had been some sort of terrorism plot, someone would have said something by now. thanks to jim...

Addition, that was in some sort of trouble could have landed unscathed on some remote island going undetected, very unlikely. could it have crashed somewhere on land? we draw a circle drawing the radius of where it could have traveled during all those hours we don't know where it was. certainly, plausible that it could have been somewhere on land but more likely in water, only because there is more water. again, if you just sort of look where the plane could have gone down and because much harder to have something like that go undetected. to appreciate the scale of the mystery here and what th...

We don't know where it was. certainly plausible that it could have been somewhere on land but more likely in water because there is more water. again, if you look over to where the plane could have gone down. much harder to have something like that go undetected. to protect the scale of the mystery hear, and the, what the investigators are facing trying to find it. consider that air france 447 went down off brazil. we knew more or less where it went down. there was debris floating not long after. the plane had emitted distress signals. yet it took nearly two years to find a lot of that wreckag...
