ntsb investigators of that disaster. like the metro jet crash, satellite imagery captured a midair heat signature. >> we had that same occurrence at twa flight 800, a satellite picked up the signature and it indicated, it confirmed for us what eyewitnesses had seen, that there was a fire ball. but. >> but it didn't explain why. it was simply a clue. also shared between the two disasters, unexplained split second sounds on the flight data recorders before they stopped recording. the similarities leave gultz to believe a possible rupture in the fuel tank, which caused the twa crash may also be to blame in the russian plane disaster. investigators found much of the main debris field close together, but three miles away was the tail section. that holds another clue. possible structural failure in. in november 2001, the air bus' tail hit the tarmac on landing. the plane was repaired, but the
the plane was trying to land when the tail hit. the pilot aborted landing ten feet from the ground. the plane landed on the second attempt. 159 on board and no one was hurt. a scandal for a little league team. a coach is accused of throwing a game in the little league world series in order to face easier teams. the team that lost bumped the iowa team out of the running. that team complained, and league officials order the washington squad to face the iowa girls in the game. the iowa team ended up winning and going to semis. after revealing her 17-year-old adoptive daughter was missing, she was returned home. she tweeted chelsea has been found and is safe in the police custody. the teen was found at a home on
that aborted landing and continue on missed approach if you touchdown on a run way. we do train for that. but they did not have the airspeed or the altitude to permit that to happen. and a chain of event lead to an accident. no one incident. it takes between 7 and 9 second for an engine to go from idle to -- to power that you need. if they called for go-around thrust, more power to be added they added that 7 second or so before the impact. had they added that maybe doubling that amount of time, or, 15 o. 20 seconds earlier, they may have been able to do a go-around or at least not bring the airplane to a pin tpoint wh stalled and nose-high attitude where the tail hit the sea wall. >> captain weiss. thank you very much. appreciate your perspective.
say it appears there was no mechanical issue or problem with the engine either. survivors and witnesses say it appears the 7-year-old aircraft was flying too low as it approached the runway and the tail hit the sea way before it spun out of the control. the tail was detached from the airplane along with destabilizers. technology called ils helps tell pilots where the runway is, it wasn't operating at the time of the crash and not sure if that played a role. it hasn't been operating since june and pilots have been able to navigate just fine. there was no indication from the pilots there was anything from that plane. it came as a huge shock from
at that video, don, it totally matches up with what we have been hearing from the survivors and the witnesses. you see the plane come in low. you see that tail hit what appears to be the sea wall and then the plane seems to rotate almost 360 degrees counter clockwise before it comes to a complete stop. you also see what appears to be a fireball. we don't know if that's a fireball or debris and looks like a fireball. very, very dramatic images and as you said, this is something that investigators will want to take a look at, don. >> absolutely. stand by. fred hayes with back with us. how close were you when you shot this video? >> we were probably within a mile or so. we were just across the bay on the bayshore walk. >> and so you were there just randomly taking video of planes
filters got clogged for certain reasons. it sounded like he made the attempt to add power and lift the nose. it looked like the landing gear caught the abutment, the break water and of course, the tail hit. that's when you got this oscillation, we call it. and the tail broke off and of course, they didn't have any lateral control. but that is an indication he was coming in, the person who flies a lot can say, hey, we are really low on final approach, coming up the potomeoc, i can tell if we are lower than normal -- i have been in the san francisco probably 15 times. most people can tell that, you know, just if they have had a lot of experience. >> shannon: i want to ask you about the instrument landing. there were reports that it was intermittently in service. it's about radio frequencies and lights to help you land. is that standard? >> pilots land every day without
generate the thruts. ther.the combination of the twod have brought the tail down earlier. unfortunately because they were so close to the end and so low, it appears from the wreckage that the tail hit first along with the landing gear. >> you know, there are two people who died, and there's ten critical. i mean, it's a terrible tragedy tonight. when you look at that aircraft with that whole top of it charred and burned, it really is extraordinary that more lives weren't lost. at least it seems that way to me. what about to you? >> well, it's extraordinary and it's a tribute to all the flight crews and flight attendants that help get the passengers out safely. i think a lot of us fly so much that some of them don't pay attention to the flight attendants or the safety demonstrations. they're really there for your safety, and in a situation like this, they are your guides out of that airplane, and time is critical. you need to get out as soon as possible. >> what do you say if you're the next plane on the runway like
