tv   Hannity  FOX News  March 20, 2014 10:00pm-11:01pm PDT

10:00 pm
facebook.com/thekellyfile. let me know what you think about the postings with saxby chambliss. and now, it is time for oh! and welcome to "hannity" and this is a fox news alert. it is now day 13 of the greatest aviation mystery in history. now late last night investigators found what they believe was their quote, best leads yet. now it came in the form of two objects spotted via satellite 1500 miles off the coast of australia. now sadly, bad weather and the dark of night obstructed the initial search for the potential debris field. that is until now, because it is morning in the area where the objects are believed to be floating and weather conditions are said to be much more favorable tonight. and joining me now to tell us much more about this frantic search, live, from perth,
10:01 pm
australia. welcome, cameron. >> reporter: good news, as you mentioned the weather, the sun is out tonight making the search for the crews a lot easier. there was a lot of low level clouds yesterday. very different story today. the seas not quite as -- not as large swells as what the search crews had to deal with yesterday. so it has resumed inn ernest, te first of the crews should be arriving in the next ten to 15 minutes. an australian air force plane, there are four others including a u.s. poseidon plane that will be moving towards the search area over the next few hours to go through in a chris cross pattern trying to locate any sign of these objects that were picked up by and australian satellite some four days ago. experts say, though, that those objects possibly the debris field from the missing malaysian
10:02 pm
airliner could be up to 60 miles from where they spotted them because of the strong currents in the area. but the improved weather conditions, the crews are able to get on with the search, and hopefully the outcome within the next 48 hours. >> cameron, good day to you my friend, joining us 10 local there. on the investigation, fox's own jennifer griffin, welcome to the program. >> thank you, sean, well more evidence that the malaysians sat on key leads in the initial days that may have delayed the search for flight 370. the british satellite company, inmarsat, told megyn kelly moments ago that the plane may have crashed in the indian ocean and shared it with the malaysians on march 12th, who did not acknowledge the information for days.
10:03 pm
communications technology is playing a role in the search. not long ago, digital global in colorado released a map giving us the more refined location of the wreckage 1500 miles from australia. it comes from its world view 2 satellite, giving us the exact coordinates for the images of what some say look like debris. the images are from march 16th. digital globe said the australian government began to comb through the data and came up with this possible lead, amid the criticism that the u.s. military is not doing more to help with the search. the pentagon insists they are using some assets we cannot see. >> we didn't get into the specifics of some of those tools because some of those tools we don't talk about. >> meanwhile, the navy will rely on the u.s. poseidon, that is expected to be in the search area in the coming hours and will remain for three hours, the
10:04 pm
navy's p-3 orion will not be flying today and is undergoing maintenance. it would take days to get there if ordered. the search is now being focused 1500 miles off the coast of australia, sean, half way between australia and the antarctic. that is how far away it is. sean. >> all right, jennifer, great reporting, thank you for joining us. and more on the role they will play in the search efforts. chief meteorologist, our friend from weather.com. joe bastardi, joe, every time we get on an airplane aren't we told about the seats being flotation devices. wouldn't they be floating at this point? >> well, it has been a long time since this crash. remember there is a lot of variances in the weather conditions in the last ten or 12 days in the area where we expect the crash to be.
10:05 pm
so where could they possibly be? if you had a couple of big storms, that area of the ocean is the equivalent in the north atlantic and pacific, where you get the fantastic storms that go through with very high winds. as the wind blows out of the southwest and shifts out of the northeast right after it could be almost anywhere right now given how long that this has occurred. >> yes, joe, let me ask you this. what are the weather conditions normally like there? i know we were told -- we just checked in with australia, they say they're a little bit better. from what i understand and people i spoke to, i have been reading all day, usually the swellins are really bad, really high. what can you tell us about the usual conditions? >> well, things get bad in the wintertime and of course now they're the equivalent of what we would be in september, here in the northern hemisphere,
10:06 pm
things get very, very bad down there, there are a lot of big storms, in just checking, we have a wave chart, we can look at the size of the waves over the next ten days. there doesn't seem to be anything too outstanding coming at the general area -- >> how high? >> eight to 12 foot waves at the worst and most of them between four and eight feet. but further south you get 30-40 foot swells off the coast of northern antarctica, so right now it is not nearly as bad as it can be. but keep in mind this has been out there for ten or 12 days who knows where it is winding up? >> eight to ten is pretty big, though. i've spent enough time out on the ocean. >> it is, but for that area you're looking relative to normal, let's say, that is what happens down there at that far south of latitude.
10:07 pm
it is like being 45, 50 in the north atlantic you're going to get that type of thing. but we have had search and rescue operations in the north atlantic and north pacific. it is the variance of the weather, the back and forth of the weather that gets really tricky in there. >> all right, joe bastardi, thank you for joining us, with weather.com. and tim brown, and retired p-3 c mission. let's talk about the role that is played here, and apparently fairly pivotal and accurate. >> well, the satellite imagery is the australian's californvea possible, they said possible several times, including the prime minister. so what it means is the imagery shows there is possibly something there. but it is enough to send aircraft to do surveillance. not enough to make the case. they will probably have to
10:08 pm
research it and send more satellite imagery to see if there is anything there if the storms have not sunk whatever was floating. >> all right, tell us about the process of downloading the images. apparently it takes time and why the delay? >> well, it takes -- first of all, it comes off satellite. then it bounces from another satellite to the ground station, then it is processed and sent to the australians who look at it by hand manually. and then it goes up the food chain until finally somebody decides it is worth it, something to look at. and the politicians decide if they will have a press conference or not. they slap a logo on it and say possibly. >> let me ask you another question, you know a lot about satellites, too, one thing that amazes me 13 days into this whole thing is the fact that triple 7s don't go missing. we live in an age if you want to put a satellite gps system in
10:09 pm
your car you can pinpoint the location of that car, the speed of that car, in the exact time that they find it. how did we lose a plane? >> we have on star for your car, we have gps, airplanes can go down in the middle of the south indian ocean, and near hard to find, especially if the guy turns off the transponder and he is in on it. so it is possible. >> all right. >> that is why we're looking for it. >> let me get your thoughts on where we are with the investigation at this point. any idea how they go about the search? i would think even with eight to ten foot swells that is difficult to do, via the sea. so i assume it will be a lot of air flight. >> that is right, the patrol planes they have in the theater there, participating, they will have a tough job. it is difficult to see an object that is not protruding above the water even though you have the white caps breaking through. it is a tough visual, also for
10:10 pm
the radar, as well. >> tell us about the investigation, would it be possible at this late date for us to find this debris? >> it is -- i think there is a good chance that they will relocate it by the mission planners as they calculate the currents, starting from where the satellite imagery detect the objects in the water. they will be able to calculate the direction it traveled as long as they have good information on the currents. and they will be able to pattern a search that will bring them in contact with the debris. >> all right, we all have to hope and pray to get some answers. certainly these families are dying to get it. and coming up, former military pilot michael kay is here and will explain in detail just how and where the investigators are searching for the missing jet. also tonight on "hannity," coming up. the only thing that i have seen that is starting to become
10:11 pm
verified is the lignet report. >> does general mcinerney still stand by his information? >> and we'll show you where they're searching for the plane off the coast of australia, as this breaking news of "hannity" continues, thank you for joining us.

10:12 pm
see your authorized dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services. yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it right now. oh, yeah? yeah. what's the... guest room situation? the "name your price" tool, making the world a little more progressive. if ...hey breathing's hard... know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms.
10:13 pm
tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? don't wait to ask your doctor about spiriva.
10:14 pm
this is a fox news alert as the search intensifies for the missing airliner, searching 1500
10:15 pm
miles off the coast of australia, joining me now to explain, the former adviser to the u.k. appreciate you being here. >> good to see you. >> all right, we just got the weather report, big swells, ought to ten feet, makes it difficult to see. tell us what you see. >> yes, we have basically enough information to create the search. but we don't have enough information to link this to flight 370. so clearly that involves a huge search. the australians are putting on an amazing effort. using the p-3 orion, traveling about four miles a minute. problem is, it only has 13 hours endurance, but that may sound like a lot but this here is a five-hour leg, that is ten hours off. you have three hours on loiter. this area, sean, 100,000 square kilometers. that is a huge area for four
10:16 pm
aircraft to fly. you have the poseidon aircraft all very useful. we know from the information reports today the poseidon aircraft is concentrating in the information. all that turned up is a freighter and a couple of dolphins. so we have a long way to go. hugely inclement weather, hopefully that is getting better. but having done lots of search and rescue operations in my previous life, what we know is when the rain and clouds come down, the visibility is less and less, traveling less than five k. >> we are going ten miles out, maybe a maximum ten-hour window to search the area in question. and we don't even know then, again, good enough reason to search but we don't have enough information or intel to tell us this is the location where we believe it went down. >> i have served on two boards of inquiry. and what we need to do is this is the sort of area they're looking at. but we shouldn't put all of our
10:17 pm
eggs in one basket. we shouldn't live in the hope that we'll get some evidence which is going to make this area conclusive. e what we need to do, what was transponder was actually located? well, it was here. if we draw a line directly down, that is about seven hours. now, the positive side of this, that is on the edge of a boeing triple 7's endurance, so you could say if the crew was incapacita incapacitated. that is the likely area where it would have run out of fuel. >> the flight path was put in manually into the airplane, when it made this turn. which took them off its path and then they said good night after the path was changed. >> well, sean, we only have part of that story, what i mean by that is that the computer systems and the navigation systems on these airplanes, they have an ability to input way points. but then you have to input the way points into a route.
10:18 pm
so we don't know what the coordinates were of the way point. it could have been a diversion. so the aircraft could have gotten half way across the china sea and all the pilot might have been doing was changing the point from malaysia to vietnam. if he doesn't put in the route, the flight -- >> but starting here is a relatively short flight to china, correct? >> yes. >> so we can assume, too, that they had a full fuel capacity unless of course they might have filled it up because of the price of fuel, we haven't gotten an answer on that 13 days in, which is insane because that would give us the maximum range of that airplane at that point. >> more on the information, sean, i mean, it is just proving how difficult it is. what do we know? well look, if we do think -- >> i didn't mean to mess up your board. >> that is all right, we can clear it and start again. here is the last transponder, here is where everybody is looking at right now, let's draw a line down, the thing i would look at with the board of
10:19 pm
inquiry, in order for it to go down to here it has to cross the indonesia air space and go across singapore, which is one of the busiest air spaces in the world. >> why wouldn't it have been picked up? you're the only person i have heard that cast doubt on the computer input inflight before the good-bye, why do you put doubt on that? >> again, only because i am familiar with the way the systems work. and once again like with many of these scenarios we don't have enough pieces of the jig saw to put enough together to be able to paint a picture. so we hear about people knowing that some sort of information has been put into the flight navigation system but we don't know what or if it was put in the roots or not. there could be plenty of information -- >> we're going to ask the experts later. he will be here with the big board and taking your questions on tour @seanhannity.
10:20 pm
joining me now, former u.s. official john mcgraw, look at this board and your thoughts on it. >> well, sean, sorry i can't see the board, let me get it turned around here. >> what we were describing to you that is really quickly here that it made this turn and it would be 1500 miles perhaps about here. we draw a straight line down that it went in that direction. the location where they're now searching off the coast of australia. >> well, you know, i completely agree with the previous guests that you have to look at every scenario at this point. we really don't have anything that we can rule out at this point. i think that the most probable outcome is that the airplane went south and continued south until it ran out of fuel. the satellite data that we have continued, i think that is probably the best data that we have. and so it is okay that they're focusing down south. it does not mean they should stop the rest of the investigation. that has to continue because there could be other answers for
10:21 pm
why the satellite continues -- >> michael shakes his head, he agrees. philip, let's get your in put. what are your thoughts on this. >> well, i actually agree, i've been a criminal lawyer for 16 years and what i can tell you is that an investigation of any sort, especially one of this magnitude must begin with facts c , facts that have to be reliable and complete. what we're getting are facts that are reliable and complete. only now, a lot of other countries, the united states and australia, other countries are getting involved. in fact, the fbi has possession of the simulator found in the pilot's home. i think now we'll get answers. but as senator chambliss said on the network tonight, these transponders were manually turned off. if that is a fact, that tells us something. we can draw an inference that a human being was involved -- >> isn't it also acars and the transponder? and then again if you believe
10:22 pm
the information we're getting the fact that they manually put in the computer new coordinates and a flight path? >> right, that means there is human involvement in this, which means to me it is a crime and it needs to be investigated as a crime. we have to be very thorough, because if we're not and we don't get the answers to the questions as to who, what and why, this thing can happen again and can't happen again. this is too much of a big deal to ever happen again. >> we can add another point to this. these families that have loved ones on the airplane deserve answers. we also need to know if this is an instance of terror because we have to protect airlines not just in the united states, but worldwide. thank you for joining us gentlemen, wish we had more time. and coming up next on "hannity." >> we may in the next 28 to 48 hours start to hear from either the malaysian government or the pakistani government. if the pakistani government doesn't talk soon, they will be
10:23 pm
complicit in this. >> much more as this breaking >> much more as this breaking news edi nascar is about excitement. but tracking all the action and hearing everything from our marketing partners, the media and millions of fans on social media can be a challenge. that's why we partnered with hp to build the new nascar fan and media engagement center. hp's technology helps us turn millions of tweets,

10:27 pm
joining me now, thomas mcinerney, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me, sean. >> you know, i know you have a lot of sources we can't reveal to them. y i know you have a lot of sources who are telling you it may very well have landed in pakistan. in light of this information, are your sources still confirming the same thing? >> i can't say anything about that. sean, all i can say is it would be nice if we could identify it. but i think those payissengers have the potential of still being alive. and i believe that airplane landed. i believe that airplane landed. and i have listened to a lot of aviation experts and none of them know about radical islam. and so i think that is one of the major shortcomings, to think as well planned as this was, and you just went through it with mr. k on how the transponder was
10:28 pm
turned off, they said good night. ac acars went off, transponder, take the line from the last transponder hit and then take the line from the thai radar skin paint and draw that line and see where it goes. it heads straight for india. it doesn't go to the indian ocean and the south. why would anybody be so clever to do that, and fly the airplane for seven and a half hours and then let it flame out? i don't believe that. >> you know, i know you're such a serious person. you make such a compelling case. you make me pause every time i talk to you, general. you turn the transponder off. you turn -- i'm looking at the time line now. acars is off. then we have the computer manually. we have a new flight path put in. and then we say good night. that doesn't fit. that doesn't fit. i read a story today somebody said well it could have been a simple fire. the problem with that is you wouldn't have said good night at
10:29 pm
that point. you would have contacted somebody. again looking at the time line, transponder off, acars off. then we have a computer shift in the flight path. that sounds to me -- i'm very strongly leaning that this plane was taken over by somebody. >> i still maintain it was hijacked. and for anyone to say well, they had a fire or something, look, we never heard a may day. all the communications, the comes, the uhf/bhf sat comes to our knowledge were never turned off. so they could have talked if they wanted to. yes, acars was turned off. yes, the transponder was turned off. as was just pointed out flying over indonesia and singapore, there are no better routes than through indonesia and singapore, singapore has the best air defense and the best pilots down in that whole region. that is why i have not seen one piece of compelling evidence to
10:30 pm
include these satellite pictures that tell me that that airplane is down there. that could very well be. but i haven't seen any evidence. >> general, without exposing any of your sources, is there any way for our audience to say that you could shed light on what you believe to be the credibility of the sources that you obviously are talking to? because you're not making this up. >> no, but it is not my sources. it is the logic that goes into everything that has come up, explains and tracks with what i was talking about. how about the other day when we were on the radio and you talked to some of your very good friends in boeing and what did they say, sean? >> they said i can't talk about it. because my question to boeing is considering we know that the boeing -- these triple 7s have really incredible, not only redundancy, but they have incredible communications where literally the engines are constantly sending back
10:31 pm
information at the exact function at any moment during the flight. my question to boeing was, tell me what you know about these engines and what do you know about this plane, he said i can't talk about it. that kind of surprised me. >> it surprised me, too. and what have we heard from our own intelligence agencies about certain air fields, particularly the one near pakistan. as i mentioned the other day on the radio, the distance from lahore to beijing, excuse me, kuala lumpur to beijing, and kuala lumpur to pakistan, is 2700 miles, equal distance, isn't that a coincidence. >> finish your thought then i have a last question. >> no, so all of those things track in the northern route. by the way, it is taking so long i'm not sure that that airplane landed in pakistan that is still there. but we have not heard from the u.s. government of any substantive information. and they know a lot more than
10:32 pm
they're saying. >> for the constraints of time that you have, you do have sources and you are of the belief that our government in particular has a lot more information. can you confirm that you have sources that also are adding to your theory? >> not now, i can't. as you know i'm in the witness protection program right now. >> okay, fair enough. >> i don't want to put you -- >> i'm a face to face person. yeah, and rolls royce, get rolls royce and get boeing's comments. they know a lot about from that engine data. because if the sat com was working, the sat com was working because it was pinging, and the pilots talk on it. >> also the engines were trying to send back the data as to their performance. so that was also adding to the ping. and that was what? seven hours into the flight they were pinging? >> exactly. >> all right, this is unusual to me, all right, general, thank
10:33 pm
you for joining us. thank you. >> and we'll go to where the search stands at this hour, literally 10:32 a.m., our aviation experts will answer your questions including whether or not they think it is safe to fly in the wake of this apparent hijacking. we don't want you to miss an episode of "hannity." record "hannity" the series so we're with you every night. we don't want to miss you at all. it would be

10:38 pm
of the search, they sent about five aircraft from australia, the u.s. and new zealand to the area around 2 and a half thousand kilometers across perth across the southern indian ocean. they're looking in an area around 23,000 kilometers. we're told the ocean there is very deep, rough, isolated. the problem is, sean, the images were captured by a u.s. satellite actually on sunday because of the very tedious process it was only discovered and made public yesterday. that means there is a high chance the debris has significantly moved from its original location. the search last night was unsuccessful because of poor weather conditions and today's search appears to be slowed again below cloud and rain. but we do understand a norwegian merchant ship has reached the search area and we're hoping for information on that. but we've also been warned that it could be days before we get anything definitive, sean? >> catalina, if i could ask you
10:39 pm
briefly, one of the problems it is 1500 miles out then we have a flight out to the location of the area. five hours back, the maximum in-air time is 13 hours, giving three hours for the search. is that about right? >> yes, that is right, the australian maritime safety has indicated to us they actually only have about a two-hour period to search that area. so it has limited -- the search capabilities. and as i said because of the poor weather conditions that will make the search even harder. >> all right, catalina, good afternoon to you. and as the search for the missing plane continues, we have been sharing your thoughts obviously day on facebook and twitter and here with the answers tonight, the aviation attorney is with us. and fox news analyst kathleen bangs, and michael, we have now
10:40 pm
renamed the big board there. let's go to the first question, this is a really good question from bobby jones on facebook earlier today. he asked if the elt, the emergency locater transmitter activated by submersion in water, has not been located, why are they searching? that is a really good question. >> the tracks, one to the north and south, the thought process is a lot of the governments say they have pretty strong radar and there is a pretty good chance they would have seen the return from the triple 7. ergo, let's look on the southern corridor. and that is why i think the search has been -- >> and remember, the elts don't transmit from the water, so if they're submerged, they're not going to get us signals at all. >> and where would you get the signal? from the black orange box? those days are running out, they have a 30-day max.
10:41 pm
>> right, we've seen them go longer, 30 days is what they're supposed to operate at. and the elt is not supposed to transmit under water, and they're not perfect. >> i guess we're calling this the "hannity" board. we'll ask you, when you look at the location and you know a lot about the search and rescue missions. in fact, would that have happened upon impact if it went down in the area? >> yes, obviously, it is far from land, to back up with they're saying, you have the alts, triggered by salt water, one thing we do know is that specifically the one in the tail is turned off by the pilots on landing because sometimes the landings can be hard. they don't want to inadvertently want to set off the elt in the tail. once again another unknown. >> you have to imagine the impact would be massive. i would think it would be a situation where it would go off, agreed?
10:42 pm
>> look at the air bus that landed on the hudson. the two scenarios -- >> if it was floating on the water, there is a chance, under water, no, we wouldn't hear anything. >> on impact, sal, you agree? eden writes how safe am i to get to my destination the last time i board a flight. a lot of people are worried because if this is terrorism we need to know. >> one of the down side of the coverage is it brings up a lot of people's worst fears about flying, but they need to know, exponentially safer than driving in an automobile. one in 45 million on a united states carrier, is your chance of dying. >> that is a great statistic, although it doesn't take away the fear of my wife. she is a queasy flier. >> you have to fly -- every day, 100,000 miles. >> we go back to this, the
10:43 pm
boeing triple 7 is one of the safest in the sky. one of three fatalities, happening when the pilot ran off the runway in san francisco. >> and structurally, the boeing products are just a great product, they have you always been, the triple 7, one of their best products, absolutely no fear of flying. >> but other people say what about flying globally, i think that is a concern. past couple of years the global standards have gone up considerably. >> i have questions about the safety, how people got on the plane, paying cash, guys stay right there. mike, hang in there. don't go away. we'll have more with our aviation experts, your questions coming up after the break, also tonight. >> apologize for doing it but i broke your re-tweet record. >> i heard about that. w

10:45 pm
but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing

the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

and welcome back to "hannity," as we continue to answer your questions about the missing malaysian jet with our aviation experts, kathleen bigs and michael kay is with us. now, question number three if the plane landed could they put in a different transponder? that is interesting. >> all they really have to do is put in another code, for the transponder you put in four numbers, all they do is put in
10:49 pm
the code, no reason to land. >> that retransmits data back to the air traffic control. they tell you what code to put in. we routinely change them in flight. >> all right, i hope i'm pronouncing this right, how do we know the flight was reprogrammed? the data transmitter. >> you have various ways of actually putting information into the computer. we talked about the way points. but as you put a way point, you may want a diversion that is in vietnam instead of malaysia because it is closer. if you put it in it doesn't necessarily mean it is going on the route. it doesn't mean that the flight director will you said you had asking you a question, you had one question. >> i have had a number of these questions, thank you very much. basically, a lot of people are asking why did the orions have to come out two hours later and fly back again.
10:50 pm
why can't they refuel? well, the reason for that is, the only barrier, the orion that has that, the royal air force doesn't have the next question from facebook. it is possible for a plane this size to fly undetected and land without anyone's knowledge? i listen to the general he does make a compelling case i have a note from my radio producer said he scares him. >> i know pilots who accidentally landed a boeing 737 in an airport in wisconsin, nobody knew it. >> seriously? >> they got caught because the flight attendants reported them to the company. >> that can happen. and you have shadowing. if you're near high terrain, the airplane cannot be picked up because of the mountains or the hills behind it are going to cause radar not to pick up the
10:51 pm
airplane in front of it >> mike? >> quickly basic radar theory, transform works on secondary. transponder only work out to about 200 miles, after that, trance atlantic flights are off dropped off the radar. and air traffic control has to use acrs. >> all right. back to our questions on facebook. jason anderson asked why can't they track 200 cell phones? it's a good question in the days of gps. if you put a gps in the car you can find where that car is, time, speed it's moving at that moment. >> my suspicion is because the plane is m a very remote location or at the bottom of the ocean. there is no cell towers. >> that would be the same thing, going down? >> if it was over land a buvenl
10:52 pm
of cell towers above a certain altitude, cell towers aren't going pick up signals anymore would it have picked it up if it landed in pakistan? >> if there is a cell tower within reach even in the united states we don't always have a cell tower. >> you're landing bing, bing, bing. all e mails start flying in there. >> if you text message once you're up to maybe 10,000 feet or 15,000 feet before they get going? >> sometimes you'll get a text message. >> very quick one. trance atlantic flights, this bit here, now, relies on a synthetic air picture created from acrs so tracking air traft through different numbers using

height deacon flictoin. >> and next, do two pilots usually fly as a team? they are usually not a regular team, right? >> we don't know if they have flown together in the past but on 777 the co-pilot just got out of training about a month ago. >> good point. in malaysia said the pilot dz not ask to fly together on the date of the fateful flight. >> they fly with different people, very friends flying for british airways and virgin. them never met and have been with the company ten years >> they have a less experienced pilot and the co-pilot. really inform tiff thank you for being with us. thank you for sending in your questions. coming up, as america is embarrassed in the world stage by vladimir putin you won't
