like in the end everyone is a winner on the ridiculist. that does it for us. we'll see you at 10:00 p.m. eastern, another special edition of "360" with the round table discussion. thanks for watching. piers morgan live now. >> c is breaking news. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. breaking news in the new arrest in the boston bombing case. exclusive new video showing the moment the two suspects were taken into custody as police were hunting for dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> oh, my god, do you think it's him? >> shhh! >> put your hands up! no one will get hurt. >> everybody stay there, okay? do not move. >> dzhokhar tsarnaev. come out. >> do not stand up. it's okay, it's okay.

>> dzhokhar tsarnaev, you are being arrested now. come out with your hands up and elevate your hands. >> dias kadyrbayev and tazhayakov were friends and taken away by police that day. the yearbook picture shows tsarnaev and the third suspect, robel phillipos, friends of his in high school. the three charged in federal court with lying to investigators and obstructing justice. prosecutors said they conspired to hide and destroy evidence linking dzhokhar tsarnaev to the deadly attacks. two of the suspects photographed with dzhokhar in times square in 2012 believed to be the next target for tsarnaev and his brother, tamerlan, was a conspiracy. also tonight, victimized because of the boston bombings, a taxi driver says he was attacked for being a muslim. >> right now -- >> do you think that it was right for the -- >> i'm going call you right now. >> to fly planes into the united

states. >> i'm going to call you to the police. okay. whatever you're saying is recorded. and -- now you're punching me? >> it's a shocking video and that taxi driver joins me live. that's coming up. and later, fatal plunge captured by dashboard camera, extraordinary footage of a 747 falling from the sky. the images are disturbing. seven americans in the cargo plane were killed. what went so badly wrong? we'll get to that too. a lot on tonight. i'm going to start with national correspondent susan candiotti in new bedford, massachusetts and brian todd outside the courthouse in boston. we begin with susan. susan, again, a lot of key developments today, not the least of which the arrest of these three characters and charges now, relation to a number of offenses. tell me exactly what they have been charged with. >> reporter: yeah, it's been quite a day, hasn't it, piers. yeah, we have got word of this, and the charges that we're talking about are lying to

investigators and obstructing justice. a conspiracy to obstruct justice. no one is saying they were directly involved in the bomb plot, not at this time. these charges have to do with when authorities caught up with them to get information about dzhokhar and possibly his brother. they said they weren't told the truth. but that these guys went on and did more than that. that they actually took some evidence that belonged to dzhokhar and allegedly picked it up and got rid of it for him to protect their friend. those are the charges. >> what do we know about these new suspects? what do we know about the relationship with dzhokhar? did they know tamerlan? what has come out so far? >> reporter: it seems that at least from some of the people we have spoken to around here that both brothers occasionally spent time at this very apartment behind me. this is the one where the suspects were living. and so we know that they also went, at least one of them, to high school together with

dzhokhar. phillipos. and the other two all attended -- they all attended college together here at the university of massachusetts, dartmouth campus, which is not far from here. but some intriguing information also coming out about what happened after those videos were released by the fbi when they knew that they were looking for the two brothers. and at that time, according to the criminal complaint, at that point, one of them texted -- one of the students texted dzhokhar and said to him, you know, you kind of look like that suspect that they're showing on television. and he got a reply, a texted reply, according to these documents, lol, laugh out loud. that's what dzhokhar responded. and then dzhokhar allegedly texted, come to my room and take what you want. at that point, that's when these young men went from this place over to the dorm room and picked up the backpack and some other items, including a laptop, as well, that they have been trying to find. piers?

>> did we think from these charges, susan, the fbi believed that any of these three had prior knowledge of the bombings? because that i would imagine is the key question. >> reporter: well, that's right. and at this time, there's no evidence to support that. authorities have repeatedly said right now we are charging them with being involved in this after the fact. and, of course, when all of this happened, and authorities were still trying to find dzhokhar, within hours after releasing those photographs, some odd things happened. on facebook, for example, according to information from my colleague, deborah feyerick, sources are telling her that dzhokhar and one of the suspects changed their photograph on their facebook page, deleted one photograph, one of the students photograph of him with dzhokhar. and then dzhokhar and that same student changed their photographs on facebook. so -- but here, you know, you saw that video that's very -- was really throughout the

neighborhood and that's when they came and raided this neighborhood, looking for dzhokhar, the whole s.w.a.t. team. >> right. we're watching a bit of it again now. really quite extraordinary. that's when they thought they had dzhokhar. in fact, it turned out to be two of the other suspects who have been charged today. susan, thank you very much indeed for now. brian todd, you were in the court today. what was the demeanor of these three suspects, would you say? >> reporter: piers, they all looked a little bit nervous when they were brought in. at least two of them were in handcuffs. they were all in leg irons when brought in. it was an interesting moment when the judge, mary ann bowler, kind of confronted one of them. she said i would advise you to pay attention to what i'm saying, pay attention to me and not look down. so she was kind of annoyed with him. that turned out to be pretty much the least of their problems, piers, as they were read the accusations against them. they were read those charges and they did say they understood them. also, they all three pretty much were -- they waived bail in

this, agreed to voluntary detention. there is a probably cause hearing in two weeks. another thing we found out today about this set of hearings here. so they all appeared fairly nervous and attorneys came out and talked to reporters and denied their clients were involved in any kind of conspiracy to obstruct justice, saying they did not know that dzhokhar tsarnaev was involved in the bomb plot. of course, this complaint says otherwise, that at least after the fact, they did know or they did at least sense very keenly he was a part of the bomb plot. but their lawyers say they did not and they did not knowingly dispose of any evidence in this case, piers. >> i mean, one of the most fascinating details in this complaint is sort of buried away as some of the others are too, which is the revelation that dzhokhar tsarnaev openly discussed his ability to make a bomb with two of these three suspects a month before the boston bombings in a restaurant. tell me about that. >> reporter: it's fascinating. i've got to tell you.

there are a lot of great details in this complaint, first and foremost. and if you go online and read them, it's pretty interesting reading. but this is a footnote of all things on page 11 of this complaint. it says that about a month before the marathon bombings, when two of these three suspects, the two kazakhstany students, were having a meal with dzhokhar tsarnaev, that he explained to them, he quote, knew how to make a bomb. now, again, that could be just kind of an innocuous conversation at a meal and very offhand. but at least they did hear from him one month before the bombings that he knew how to make a bomb. there is also a vignette in here where it says that probably two months before the bombings, one of them, and that is azamat tazhayakov set off fireworks on the river with dzhokhar tsarnaev. again, seemingly could be innocuous, could be one of those things were two young men are getting together and doing that. but again, with those two incidents in mind, there might have been some inklinging among these three that dzhokhar

tsarnaev could at least be capable of doing something like this. >> right. brian todd, thank you very much indeed. want to bring in juliet kayam, former homeland security assistant secretary. juliet, the more you read this complaint today, the more a pretty disturbing picture emerges that at the very least suggests these suspects after the event did what they could to obstruct the investigation and also did what they could to get rid of damning evidence. but also as we discussed with brian just then, hinting details, really, they may have had some prior knowledge. what do you make of it? >> i think that's right. i think we should look at this complaint as sort of the first salvo by the u.s. attorney's office to at least keep them in jail for some time. one has to assume, and we know that the investigation is ongoing. there can be further additions to the complaint, that's totally normal in a -- in any case. i think one of the most additional damning aspects of it is at one stage, one of the

three roommates or friends actually had admitted to an fbi agent he never expected to hear from dzhokhar again after the picture was released on thursday. so that does make you wonder whether he knew not only that dzhokhar was responsible for the boston marathon bombings, but also that what he was doing was to help him either escape or hide the evidence. you know, this is consistent with sort of this discussion we have been having for a couple weeks about why did they not have an exit strategy. their bombing seems sophisticated, pulled it off on time. and yet the exit was not -- clearly not planned. i mean, he's bringing in his friend, his roommates, to try to cover up evidence that is so clearly going to, you know, make him look very, very guilty. >> right. and the other big -- development today involved tamerlan tsarnaev's widow katherine russell. it's emerged she spoke to her

husband on the phone after his picture appeared on television as one of the two suspects being sought after the fbi released those pictures. why is that so significant? >> well, it just shows the nature of their relationship. everyone has wondered sort of -- he seems to have had sort of a solo life, despite the fact she was working all of the time and they had this child. if they had the kind of relationship in which they were at least communicating at the moment when he is hiding from everyone, it may mean either she knew or that she had a strong suspicion of what he had been up to. we can't know at this stage. and you know, as we all know, the family members, what they say or alleged to have said really do have to be investigated, put up to cross-examination, because at this stage, between the parents and the wife and the uncle, there is a very complicated family dynamic going on quite publicly. but it is important. she is here. she is in cambridge, and she is, you know, readily accessible to investigators here.

>> right. juliet kayam, thank you very much indeed. what do these arrests say about the bombing investigation and will more people be taken into custody? joining me is former boston police commissioner, bill bratten. bill, when you read this complaint, a lot of detail here has emerged, involving three more people, three more suspects. they have been charged with various offenses. is there enough in totality, do you think, to suggest a wider conspiracy in the boston marathon bombings? >> police investigations, criminal investigations, a long road of speculation interrupted by moments of clarification. today was a moment of clarification. three additional suspects now coming into the picture after the fact. there's nothing that i'm aware of or heard of, news reports or people i've been interacting with, that would indicate these young men were aware before the fact. we will learn more, certainly, as the investigation goes forward. but right now we have to deal with the clarification that we received today, which had a lot

of detail. those complaints had a phenomenal amount of detail in them. >> right. and if you piece together some of it like a puzzle, if you like, you have this meal in a restaurant a month before the bombings where dzhokhar tsarnaev tells two suspects he knows how to make a bomb. if you then cut forward to the text messages sent after the bombing, and it triggers the three of them going into dzhokhar's room and removing a backpack, fireworks, and, of course, vaseline -- now, the vaseline to me is the most fascinating aspect of this, because you would have to know that vaseline was part of a bomb-making process to want to remove it in that situation. i wouldn't have known that. i don't think many people would know that unless they had knowledge. >> well, that complaint gives rise to additional speculation for which we will now be seeking clarification. why, in fact, if they had limited contact, with dzhokhar, would they have taken those

specific items. absent having more detailed requests from him to take those items out of the room. same thing for the missing laptop that's of great interest to the federal authorities. with these young men involved and removing that ask disposing of it. i think you may recall also there was a lot of film at the time of the federal agencies at a local garbage dump, a landfill. and is that the area that the young men were believed to have disposed of these items they took out of the apartment. so, again, we'll get more and more as the days go on. but today was a very significant clarification of what was happening after the bombing. >> finally, bill bratten, there is an ongoing debate about civil liberty going on now about how far they should be impinged in relation to catching terrorists. and particularly in light of this e-mail traffic, internet use and so on. what is your view about where the balance should be struck

between an individual's right to civil liberty and between the right to go after terrorists and catch them? >> well, in terms of this particular case, i think it's being handled very well. that the emergency exception that the fbi used initially in not informing him of his rights, they got a lot of information. that exception is for the purpose of insuring that there were not other devices, if you will, or more danger -- immediate danger to the public. i would be very reticent to start doing away with our civil liberties around the issue of terrorism. it's very easy to get on a very quick and slippery slope once you start going in that direction. in this particular case, i think it's working out very, very well with the use of the civil liberties that they are entitled to. >> commissioner, as always, thank you very much indeed for joining me. >> thank you. when we come back, three 19-year-olds arrested today.

were they trying to help a friend or something more? i'll ask attorney general mike mckazy. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] this is a reason to look twice. this is a stunning work of technology. the 2013 lexus es and the first-ever es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. clumps.

i believe that the citizens of boston can fairly and accurately listen to the rules of law, and give someone a fair trial, at least that's at this moment in time. so that's all i have to say. >> that's robert staal representing dias kadyrbayev, charged with obstruction of justice. joining me is mike mukasey, served as attorney general under president bush. a fascinating amount of detail

in this complaint today but with your old attorney general hat on, have we got three late teenage kids who have been trying to clumsily help friends thinking they're in trub but not quite sure how much, or is there something a lot more sinister going on? >> i think calling them three kids who tried to help a friend trivializes it a bit. this is not covering up for somebody cheating on an exam or engaging in underage drinking. these defendants, and one of them dead, the other in hospital, are charged with committing one of the most heinous crimes we have seen in recent times. people maimed, people killed, people whose lives will never be the same. so three kids covering up i think trivializes it somewhat. also, they acted fairly deliberate deliberately. i think they knew from their -- from their roommate what the nature was of the material they were trying to dispose of. oddly, they picked a backpack

that contained the remains of some fireworks. they picked a computer. they picked vaseline. now, i don't know whether vaseline is or is not involved in bomb-making. if it is, that, of course, makes it yet more sinister. >> right. we did check this out and apparently it is used. there is a particular thing you do with some of the leads involving vaseline. so -- but it would take specialist knowledge to know that. so you have to imagine that they knew that the vaseline was potentially a key piece of evidence, and that takes them away, i am sure, everyone would think this, from being the kids, the teenagers trying to help friends, into a much more serious situation, doesn't it? >> well, they don't necessarily have to have been specialists themselves. but if the only thing that tipped them off was a text message that said "take what you need," then it was obvious that somebody was told beforehand what it was that had to be taken. if they simply stumbled upon the room and take whatever you want -- if they simply stumbled

upon the room and found the backpack with the fireworks, that's one thing. the computer raises it yet to another level. but the vaseline, it seems to me, there is no way they could have known about that, unless somebody told them about it before. >> right. how crucial is this laptop going to be? could it be that the fbi have it, haven't named it in this particular complaint. could that be for investigative reasons? are they still poring over the details of this? is it likely they have got it, do you think? >> i don't know whether it's likely or not. they're obviously looking through a dump, wherever it was taken. the complaint says it was put in a garbage bag, tossed in the bargain and taken away by a truck. obviously they know which municipality picks up the trash in that area and know where it's taken. so they're obviously going through that -- wherever that dump is. and they're going through it with the help of some technological equipment that will help them find it. >> right. mike mukasey, thank you very

much indeed for joining me. i want to turn to bill gavin, vice president of a security service firm and boston native. bill, we have spoken many times in the last two-and-a-half weeks about this case. but it would seem that these developments today are pretty significant. what is your reading of it from an fbi point of view? >> they sure are. and i agree with judge mukasey. you know, i don't know if i have enough concrete facts at this particular point in time, piers, to talk about conspiracy and what not. but i'm well beyond -- light years beyond poor judgment, stupidity and anything else. the thing that sticks out in my mind when they got the backpack, were the elements that left -- that were left over from the bomb-making -- from the fireworks. were they in the backpack, or were they in the room someplace, and they had to pick them up and put them in the backpack. was the vaseline a key

ingredient. was that in the backpack, or was that someplace else in the room. these are all things that have to be ferreted out and looked at. i believe that in finding the backpack, the fireworks, the vaseline, i suspect that the computer was also found, and that's got to be a treasure trove full of information that the law enforcement authorities are looking through right now. >> right. and when you also have this extraordinary thing in the restaurant, a month before the bombings, where dzhokhar tsarnaev says "i know how to make a bomb," if you are one of those three who was charged today, one of his friends who hangs out with him and did so subsequently after that dinner, and you see the boston bombings go off, you have got to think, hang on, we had dinner with this guy who says he knows how to make a bomb. now there has been a bomb. and he's telling us to take stuff out of the room. i mean, you piece all that together, it's pretty damning, isn't it? is . >> it is pretty damning. i don't know they could have made the absolute identification

prior to those photographs appearing on tv, piers. but once they appeared on it tv, there is no doubt these kids knew that guy was involved in the bombing. and to send him and get a message from him, "lol, take what you need," it doesn't make any sense to me. and i still have a big question mark in the back of my mind, piers, as we talked about before. you just don't make a bomb in a very simple fashion. you have to have some help to do that, in my mind. and i think there will be some more to come out of this case that might show that perhaps there was some assistance there. >> right. we also know about this fireworks display that went on a few weeks before involving at least one of the suspects with dzhokhar tsarnaev testing them out, maybe, or just having a bit of fun. it looks pretty sinister now. bill gavin, thank you very much for joining me. coming up, a muslim cab driver says he was attacked because of anger over the boston bombing. also a u.s. military veteran and

a disturbing case of apparent retaliation left an iraq war veteran with a broken jaw. he picked up a passenger in virginia who began attacking his religion and compared him to the bomb suspects. muhammad says the passenger

began punching him. he recorded the confrontation on his cell phone. >> you're [ bleep ] radical -- are blowing people up all over the world. >> who, me? >> yes, [ bleep ] you. have you read your jihad? >> sir, i'm not a radical -- >> if you're ace muslim, you're jihadist. >> i'm going to call you right now -- >> to fly planes into the united states. >> i'm going to all you to the police. [ bleep ] >> okay. whatever you are saying is recorded. and -- now you're punching me? you are punching me. >> muhammad saline joins me now. the person who attacked you is a man called ed dahl berg. why do you think he did this? >> well, because i'm a muslim. >> and we don't really have to infer as to why it is that ed dahlberg chose to verbally

assault muhammad, as well as attack him. while mr. dahlberg is leaving the cab for the first time, on the video that muhammad recorded, he -- muhammad had the foresight to ask mr. dahlberg, why was it that he was punching mr. salim. and his answer right before he slammed was because he was an expletive muslim. obviously, that's a clear indication that bias was at the heart of this. and it's really zooming out to the broader context, we have to all be careful not to harden our hearts towards american muslims at a time when heinous acts were committed in the name of islam in boston. >> right. because, muhammad, if i could come back to you, you are a muslim-american. but also u.s. army reservists. you served in the iraq war for america. when this man began spewing this

ugly bile at you, simply because of your religion, you must have been particularly offended, given that you had risked your life for people like him. >> that's right. really offended. after i served the country, i sacrificed my life for this country and i love america. and american army. i'm a soldier. when -- like, this guy -- the way he was accusing me, because i'm simply a muslim, and that's really, really hurtful. it hurts a lot. and the frustration and angry. >> and mohamed came to this country, he chose to immigrate from somalia to the united states, to avail himself of the safety and security and opportunity that america provides. so it's -- extra upsetting that after immigrating to america for those opportunities, after serving his country, this is how

mr. dahlberg chooses to treat a fellow citizen. >> right. i mean, mohamed, what is your view of people who take a negative view of all muslims after an incident like the boston bombings? because we know that some people do that. they react in a very offensive way and think all muslims are bombers. as a muslim and proud american as well, how do you feel about that? >> really i feel angry and frustration. i mean, as 1.5 billion muslims around the world and a lot of muslim-americans who serve this country and me, myself, i'm an example. and a i said, sacrificed the country, keeping america safe. that's really -- it frustrated me. and i'm really angry. so we don't deserve this. we are american like them or like hip. we're not just a muslim. we're muslim-american.

so it's -- >> i want to read you a statement, which is from dahlberg's lawyer. part of it reads, mr. dahlberg's comments were regretful. he apologizes to anyone who found them offensive, and anyone who listens to the entire conversation and views the entire tape will learn it had a friendly tone. as the discussion turned to jihad and 9/11, and the discussion of jihadists who want to harm america. frankly, let me do the talking for you, mohamed. that wasn't a friendly conversation we heard. it was a deeply offensive slur on you and all muslims and particularly american muslims who had nothing to do with the boston bombings. and so they can tap-dance all they like on this, but we heard what we heard and we saw what we saw. my question to you is this. how did you keep your cool? you're a big man, you're a trained soldier. were you not tempted to hit him back and deal with him properly? >> actually, that's the way i handle -- as we said, i'm well-trained physically and

tough-trained. but i didn't take it that way. actually, i just, you know, calmed myself. i could defend myself. i could, you know, take action against him. but then it's going to be a different story. so, i mean, that's why i controlled myself. >> and mohamed is putting his faith in the system itself. >> yeah. >> there is hope that the local prosecutor will do the right thing, and pursue this case for what it is. a hate crime. and so mohamed is putting his faith in the system and he's been able to speak publicly about this incident, and reveal the ugly prejudice that he was unfortunately the victim of. and the hope is that this is an opportunity for all americans to reject anti muslim prejudice. we can't let the -- thank you.

>> okay. i'm sorry. i know that you had to go, go to your shift, mohamed, which is obviously what you need to do, most important to you. i want to just thank you for coming on and telling your story. it's a disgusting story in many ways. and i'm appalled that you have been treated this way by this repulsive man. i wish you every success in going after him in court. and thank you for your service for america, particularly in iraq, and i wish you all the very best for the future. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. after a terror attack like boston, are americans willing to give up their civil rights to try to prevent something like that happening again? next, i go toe-to-toe with conservative radio host ben ferguson. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant

now "the grill." turning up the heat on the big stories of the day. joining me now is conservative radio host ben ferguson. ben, how are you? >> doing well. good evening. >> so let's start with civil liberties. only four out of ten americans in a new cnn "time" national poll say they're willing to give up civil liberties to fight terrorism in the wake of the boston bombings. in 1995 after the oklahoma bombing, 57% of the country said they were willing. so there has been a marked shift in public opinion on this. what is your view?

>> i'm not surprised by this. because i think after oklahoma city, we didn't know exactly how to use technology to our advantage to fight terrorists around the world. after 9/11, we obviously got our rear ends in gear and started to figure out what was appropriate, what was not appropriate, and i think most americans now feel as if we have done enough to know how to fight terrorism without having to worry about our civil liberties or giving up anymore of our civil liberties. and i think that's that kind of we know bad things are going to happen in the world. we know there is terrorism in the world. and we also feel as if the government has kind of figured out that happy medium of where to draw the line with my privacy, and how much we need to fight terrorism at the same time. >> okay. what about this scenario, because we now know that the fbi, a meeting with the owners of fan tam fireworks, and training staff in screening, and to, you know, say if something is a bit odd in terms of a customer wanting to purchase an

unusual amount of fireworks. would you see that as a new infringement on your civil liberties? >> no, i see that as criminal profiling. i mean, if you have people that are acting awkward and they're trying to buy fertilizer, for example, i would want someone to make a phone call and say you might want to check this out. the same way when you have someone acting odd buying an abnormal amount of fireworks and not with a bunch of kids around him around the holidays of 4th of july or new years or not for like a wedding celebration. that should stick out to people and i think that's when you have to look at criminal profiling. are these things being used, whatever it may be, fertilizer or fireworks or anything else. and at the time, if it's being used, i think you've got to look at that, and that's just being smart, and not infringing on my rights. i can still buy those fireworks. if they said i couldn't buy them, then i would have a problem with it. >> okay. explain to me then why it is you would be quite happy to have effectively a check put in place

on firework purchases and firework purchases, but you're not prepared to have, say, background checks at gun shows or many gun rights people aren't prepared to have that. what is the difference? >> i didn't -- well, i didn't advocate for a background check, piers, on fireworks. i didn't say i should have to stand up and get a i.d., first of all, or fill out a piece of paper that goes to the fbi to check my background. that's not what i advocated for. i said if there is suspicious activity. hold on a second. if there is suspicious activity. >> what about when somebody -- >> that's different than a background check. >> no. what about if somebody a bit suspicious-looking turns up at a gun show and wants to buy an ar-15 or four of them, for example at the moment, and 40% of all of the trades at these gun shows, nobody cares. nobody asks who he is. whether he's a criminally minded person, has a criminal record. may be mentally ill. what is the difference between that scenario and somebody being

suspicious buying fireworks? >> how many -- well, i will say this. how many people have bought ar-15s illegally, and used them to commit a heinous crime or a mass shooting in this country? you're implying that everyone going to a gun show is purposely trying to get around a background check from a dealer who has to give you a background check. >> no. >> i'm not. >> you look at newtown. hold on, look at newtown. would a background check in newtown have fixed the problem? no, it wouldn't have. we know that factually now. in aurora, colorado, wouldn't have fixed that. you have mental health issues. i'm not saying we should background check for fireworks or background check every single person if i'm going out to buy a .22 rifle for my uncle. >> right. but what you are agreeing with me about is that there is a clear need, and you would be perfectly in favor of it, for if somebody suspicious turned up to buy fireworks in one of these

phantom fireworks stores, for example, 1,200 in america, you would be fine with that. but a gun show, whoa, it's infringing on my second amendment rights. >> if someone walks up and tries to buy a gun, for example, walks up and goes, hey, man, i need to buy a gun out back, around the corner, normal law-abiding citizens are not going to sell that guy a gun. there is a black market for weapons out there. we should punish people on the black market. you've got to work the laws that we have that we're not enforcing. >> let me ask you this, something about guns. in kentucky, a 5-year-old boy shot and killed his 2-year-old sister with a rifle. he had been given as a present for his birthday. a rifle marketed specifically for children. explain to me why a 5-year-old should be given a gun as a present that can then be used in this tragic case to it kill his 2-year-old sister. >> yeah, there is a difference between giving your child a

present and being a terrible parent. you had a terrible apparently in this situation, who is incredibly ignorant and stupid to leave, first of all, a loaded weapon out around adults you don't do that, much less children. second of all, you had a stupid parent that didn't lock up the gun. so i don't know what law you're going to pass to allow for parents to be screened to be dumb or not. i mean, that would be pretty hard to enforce. but i know that i was given a gun on my 6th birthday and 7th birthday and 8th birthday. but they weren't in my possession, they were put up in my parents' room where i only got to see them under their supervision. if you want to, you know, legislate patterns being dumb or not dumb, you figure out how to do it, and we'll see if it works. but you can't blame the gun for the situation where you have a dumb apparently. >> i'm aware of, early this month in the same month, a 4-year-old shot and killed can a deputy's wife at a barbecue in tennessee. the next day, also in tennessee, while his mother slept -- a

2-year-old found a glock pistol under her pillow and shot her in the stomach. two days after that, in tom's river, new jersey, a 6-year-old boy, brandon holt, shot in the head and killed by a 4-year-old. how many more of these -- >> you also -- >>in discriminately before people wake up and go that's enough kids shooting guns and being shot with guns, isn't it? >> piers, 170 adults last month ran over children because they didn't look in their rear-view mirror. are we going to pass a law to fix stupid drivers? are we going to mandate a law that says you must have nine cameras? no, you're missing -- listen carefully to what i'm saying. my point is this. every situation you just talked about was irresponsible parenting who were irresponsible with a deadly weapon, the same way that 170 parents were irresponsible when driving over a child when they backed up and didn't look in their rear-view mirror. that is called irresponsible humans, not irresponsible gun,

which did not commit the crime. you had a dumb parent in the household. >> okay. look, all i would say to you, it is perfectly illegal to sell a car to a 5-year-old in this country and the reason for that is public safety. >> you can't sell a gun to a 5-year-old, piers. >> well, you market these guns in america to sell to 5-year-ol 5-year-olds. the gun was marketed to sell to a 5-year-old. >> piers, you market almost everything. we have little cadillac escalades that have a battery in them for kids. we have mini four-wheelers for kids. we have mini harley davidsons for kids. we have all of these things. but at the end of the at a, a 5-year-old is not legally allowed to go buy an actual gun. a grown adult with a background check who has to go in and fill out paperwork is the owner of that gun. it's not in the name of the child. and that's the problem, is bad, irresponsible parents. >> got to leave it there, ben. always good to see you. thanks for coming back on "the

killing all seven americans on board. the video shot from the dashcam shows a plane taking off and climbing in altitude before suddenly falling to the ground and bursting in flames. investigators the cargo shift may be to blame for the accident. joining me now -- what is your theory of what would cause a 747 to go into a rapid plunge like this? >> one of the things of coming up with a theory this early in an investigation, it's probably going to be wrong. it's up to the invest gators to collect all the facts and circumstances. when you look at that video, the obvious cause right now, or at least that's what's being publicized by a lot of folks is that there may have been a cargo shift that resulted in the

inability of the flight crew to actually get the nose to get over to maintain that air speed. the airplane went into an aerodynamic staal at a low altitude. insufficient for the crew to recover. one of the things i did when i was with the ntsb, i did an investigation involving a cargo aircraft that crashed in california. had similar circumstances, and in fact, a crew had reported a cargo shift. when we did the investigation, we found they had a flight controlled problem with the elevators that controls the pitch of the airplane. at this point it's too early to speculate whether it's cargo shift. >> we do know that at bagram, the nature of the base there, the planes have to take off in a much steeper gradient than a normal 747 would have to. we also know it's carrying five armored vehicles. to be taken to afghanistan. each one of those weighing 27,000 pounds. so as you say, the most likely

scenario may well turn out to be simply that the cargo being so heavy was just placed on the plane. and it was in such a steep grading, that's what flipped it. >> cargo airplanes when you load a cargo airplane. they have what's called the load master, he happened to be on this particular flight when the airplane crashed. it's his responsibility to ensure that the cargo is distributed properly and properly secured. one of the things that investigators are going to have to find out is how they secured those vehicles and the other cargo, and to see where those vehicles were loaded in the aircraft, the aft shift, if one vehicle broke loose, the nose moved forward. the cargo that moved back will now move forward. that creates a real instability for the pilot to try to control. >> i remember the seven
