percent are workers of the u.s. postal service who owe close to 345 million in back taxes. they did not deliver on time. the urban development with a rate of 3.7 percent. they willhad the lowest delinquency rate. they would schedule a bill that would make someone ineligible for federal employment. if turns out the federal workers are more than likely to pay with the general public. it is between 8 and 9 percent. >> thank you, ashley. >> don't miss ashley on the fox business network. >> the daunting search for passengers and the second black box flight 25959 resuming in if

the french alps. many questions remain about the plane's dissent and even the safety of the aircraft before it took off. >> doug luzader who is a licensed pilot joins us live from washington. we have a lot of questions for you. let's begin with this. what does the 8 minute dissent tell us about what was happening in the plane? >> i think that is the real mystery here. by some indication it was back pa canned twh is it hit -- when it hit the ground. it gave some idea what was happening on board the aircraft. the first priority would be dealing with any kind of in air emergency. part of the process the pilots go through beyond aviating and navigating is communicating. it's the third step in the process. you would think they would have had time at some point which leads to questions of what it was like if it was incapacitated. the fact that they located the cockpit voice recorder is significant because it would give us an indication of whether there was communication between

the pilot and co pilot which may give us an idea of what kind of issues they were encountering. >> speaking of communication there was not a distress call. they didn't call any one in air traffic control. what could have been happening at that time doug? >> that's the whole nut of this mystery. if they had 8 minutes on the way down why wasn't a call made. it may have been they were incapacitated or overwhelmed with one or perhaps another emergency. the critical step in dealing with the emergency aviate, navigate, communicate. the first thing you do in an emergency is make sure you have control of the aircraft figure out where you were and communicate. 8 minutes is a long period of time with a distress call. >> it didn't attempt to change course either as we can tell at this point and went straight into the mountain. why was the plane allowed back

in the air? we talked about it was grounded for mechanical problems but it was allowed right back up. why? >> we don't know all of the details on that. there have been some reports internationally the plane may have had a nose gearch is why it was temporarily grounded before it took off. that kind of thing can be relatively retaineded. i think a lot of people that fly regularly and have had flight delays when maintenance crews have an issue and are cleared to fly again. >> great detail and insight from an experienced pilot. doug luzader live for us in washington. >> parents listen up. this is a study you need to hear. teens distracted behind the wheel are age ber problem than we realized. distracted driving is the cause of nearly 60 percent of crashes involving teenagers. that is four times higher than previously estimated. aaa studies by the way more than 1700 crash videos. the biggest distractions using cell phones and talking with friends. >> a brand new car from ford
