Get pieces of this jet, they'll be able to know relatively quickly whether there had been a fire inside that cabin that would have facilitated this series of thoughts about how this may have gone down. you're going to know very quickly once you retrieve parts of this if there was a fire. >> it depends on the pieces they find. if you recall in the air france crash in 2009, one of the first big pieces they found was the tail section. and of course the triple 7 is a hugely composite structure airplane, as opposed to the old days where they were built mostly out of aluminum. so that lends itself t...

What i hope they have, like a wing, descriptive of a tail section or something that shows malaysian airlines markings. otherwise i'm nervous that it's premature. one of the good things you mentioned, it's about 78 feet, the largest piece, which is a third the length or width of a triple seven, give or take a couple feet. so that would be encouraging. that that could be related to a debris field for this airplane. >> for viewers who haven't been following, this jet is, give or take, a couple hundred feet long and with the wing span, a couple hundred feet across. is that correct? >> that's corre...
