program, filing thousands of stories. safer is survived by his wife, jane, and daughter, sarah, hard to believe he just retired last week, and now he is gone. thank you for being part of the show. a fox urgent off the top. investigators now sorting through evidence to figure out what brought down egyptair 804. officials in egypt and grease report the airbus jet crashed during a red-eye fly froth paris to cairo. the a320 was nearing the end of its journaly, having just entered egyptian air space. 66 people onboard and so far there are no signs of survivors. the top aviation position in egypt's government says a mechanical error is less likely than something like an act of terror. we have a picture of the actual jet that went down. an official says maintenance crews checked it out hours

before the crash and by all accounts the weather in the area was calm at the time of the disaster. it's just too soon to say for certain why this passenger plane crashed. but all of the clues point to a violent, sudden event, one so catastrophic that the jet twisted wildly, plunging the plane and every soul on board into the sea. the airport sent signals showing the dire final moments, showing it took a hard turn to the left, 90 degrees, then did a complete 360 to the right, twisting all the way around as it dropped. in that time the jet plunged more than 20,000 feet and a short time later it was gone. egyptair confirmed that search crews turned up wreckage in the water, but moments ago greek officials seemed to dispute that, saying the debris they had turned up has nothing to do with the crash. we should point out the egyptian government is notorious for put out inaccurate information on plane crash investigations.

when a russian jet blue up last year, egypt denied a link to terrorism, until isis claimed responsibility. the extremists even showed off the 'soda can bomb which they claim ticket down. when an egyptair flight in new york crashed, american vettors say the pilot killed himself along with the people onboard. to this day egypt claims it was a mechanical problem. no matter the cause or no matter what investigators find there is still overwhelm doing undeknee able this truth, ace the world watches families of passengers and crew are experiencing a heart wrenching moment. for them little else matters except their mothers and fathers and children who were on the jet will never come home. catherine herridge is working the intel angle from d.c. first to greg palkot live at the

airport in paris. >> reporter: at this time yesterday when the passengers and the crew of that ill-fated egyptair flight 804 were shows up here at charles degow probabt behind me. one day ago. then the crash happened, and the horrible hours after the crash, the families of the victims regrouped, both here and at the airport in cairo. and they looked for answers. they sought answers. in fact, some here in france actually got on -- get this -- yet another egyptair flight this afternoon, to fly to can he h cairo -- to cairo to be closer to their loved ones. french president hollande went on national television and he was the highest level official to confirm there was a crash, that the plane had gone, and he also committed to find out what happened on that plane in this incident, whether it was

mechanical or, as he put it terror. an egypt shane official saying terror was a more likely possibility than mechanical problems, but as you so rightly unscore, john, we still don't know, and the families of the victims, both here and in cairo and elsewhere, are left wondering and hoping for some kind of answers. john. >> speaking of answers our investigators there saying anything? >> reporter: well, let put it this way. if it is terror, they're certainly looking at the possibility because the french president but that hypothesis out there. they're looking closely at the people who had the last contact with the plane here, talking about baggage handlers, cleaners, talking about other crew, and if it is terrorist did they plant something inside this plane. we have to remember that back in

december, 70 members of the paris air force work force and granted it is a very large work force -- were fired because of their connections to the islamic leanings. also, however, looking at that debris you were talking and hoping that could show one way or another what brought down the plane. back to you. >> greg palkot live from paris. thank you. law enforcement sources tell fox news the fbi is monitoring the investigation into the crash. they say officials have briefed fbi director james comey, but so far, no indications the agency is involved in the investigation. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live from washington with more. >> the u.s. is sharing intelligence with french and egyptian investigators. this typically includes signals intelligence and stress data held by the ntct or the national counterterrorism center. once the passenger manifest is shared with the u.s. the name

will be run to assess whether anyone had ties to known terrorism groups. a counterterrorism source who tracks al qaeda and assist says they're going back to the last 72 hours of their holdings, including social meet ya traffic and other so-called chatter to assess if something was missed or has new significance in light of flight 804. the white house was asked today about reports that a bomb was an early theory. >> i'm not aware of any sort of intelligence assessment that has ruled anything out or any intelligence assessment that has ruled anything in at this point. we're still quite early in this investigation, and investigators will examine all of the potential factors. >> homeland security jeh johnson and the fbi director, james comey, are receiving regular updates. >> what about officials and their comments on the situation within france, potential threats

there? >> this morning the french parliament approved a two-month extension of the state in imagine that's been in place since the november isis attack with the french interior minister, whoing the equivalent of our homeland security secretary. the measure will cover the european soccer championship, and a transcript was released from a france's government committee, the french equivalent of a cia, who warned a string of terrorist attacks by isis using package bombs was possible from france. comments focuses on stadiums and places where large crowd congregate and did not refer to aircraft. quote, france is the most threatened and the islamis state is planning new attacks. it's in the position where it would try to hit as quickly as possible and as hard as possible. it's facing military difficulties on the ground, and so it wants to divert attention.

john? >> catherine herridge in washington, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> let's turn to jim hall, a former chairman of the national transportation safety board, the government agency responsible for investigating plane crashes here in the u.s. he is joining us live from chattanooga, tennessee. an egyptian flagged aircraft, took off from paris. the airbus is a european made airplane, who takes the lead in this investigation? >> i imagine the egyptians, but they will be strongly supported by the french. >> you have a fair amount of experience in this in that you investigated -- led the investigation into the crash of egyptair flight 990 in 1999 in this country. how was it to deal with the egyptian government and the egyptian authorities? >> well, you have to remember the egyptian airline is an arm of the state. the egyptian state does not like

openness or criticism, and so it's very difficult dealing with them, and to have an honest and objective investigation. what is unfortunate here is once again, the answers to what has happened are at the bomb of the sea, 3,000 feet of water, when the military has had for decades deplorable recorders these planes could be equipped with that would float on the ocean and we could be getting answered today in real-time. >> you don't think this will be another malaysia 370? they health found the black boxes from that malaysia flight yet this, one ought to be quicker and easier to recover. >> well, going down in the ocean is very difficult. i did that on almost ten different occasions. when i was chairman of the ntsb directing that type of activity and it's like looking for a need until a hay stack and it's quite

expensive and is a question right now who is going to bear that expense. one of the reasons we connected the investigation in the egypt -- egypt shat government is they did not want to pay for recovery to the aircraft and recorders. >> we're looking at map of the plane taking off from charles degaulle in paris, there had been contact with the plane, everything was reported normal, 2:24:00 a.m. greece time is a understand it, and then just over an hour later, just as the plane is getting ready to enter egyptian airspace, the flight controllers call the pilots on the public frequencies, got nothing. what does that say to you? >> well, says there was a catastrophic breakup of the aircraft, either to a mechanical problem or terrorist act. but in this age of terrorism we shouldn't be sitting around when

technology is available, waiting to find out what happened. because something might be planned if this is a terrorist act and has been successful there may be other attempts in the near future. >> so what, you're talking about those floating data recorders? you think that is an urgent need? >> it's been an urgent need for decades because it's used in the military used on our most sophisticated aircraft, used on search aircraft that look for these planes, and the international civil aviation organization has not taken action, and the united states, if this happens, it's going to be totally unacceptable to our citizens. we shouldn't have our families, loved ones, sitting in a situation like this and the whole aviation community, not knowing what -- having to wait until we go down to the bottom of the ocean to find the recorders. >> jim hall who led major

investigations for the ntsb in the past. thank you. egyptair said significant problems in the past, a look at the airlines' troubles and the security incidents that have raised alarms among travelers. that's next. little miss muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey. along came a burglar who broke into her home and ransacked the place making off with several valuable tuffets. fortunately geico had recently helped her with homeowners insurance. she got full replacement on her tuffets. the burglar was later captured when he was spotted with whey on his face. call geico and see how much you could save on homeowners insurance.

mechanical failure. as the investigation continues, it's important to note this is just the latest in a long history of accidents involving egyptian planes and airports. back in october, officials say terrorists took down a russian metro jet over the sinai peninsula, killing 224 people. the islamic state affiliate in egypt claimed it hid a bomb inside a soda can that took down the flight, and in march a man hijacked an egypt flight and forced it to land on cyprus. everybody was okay. the guy claimed he was wearing a bomb. and officials said it was a fake and was a lovestruck idiot that wanted to immediate up with his wife. but i add security concerns for the airlines. trace gallagher is live. >> in it's 84 year history egyptair has had its share of high profile incidents like crashes, hijackings and

technical problems in may 2002 faulty software was blamed for a crash in tunisia that killed 14 of the 62 passengers onboard in 1999, a los angeles to cairo flight crashed into the atlantic ocean near nantucket killing all 217 onboard. the been ntsb ruled suicide by copilot and egypt schapp officials rejected the ruling saying it that mechanical failure. 1985 three men hijacked a flying to cairo. they stopped the plane for refueling after a 24-hour standoff, egyptian military officers stormed the aircraft and before it was over, 60 people were dead. and in 1976, pilot error caused the plane to crash into a factory upon landing, killing 52 onboard, 19 on the ground. egyptair has also been losing money for years, meaning satisfaction of its employees

and mechanical upkeep will also come under scrutiny in this investigation. >> but the type of plane, the airbus that went down, is very commonly useful right? >> sure. the airbus 320 and the boeing 737, the world's work horses. the a-320 is used for flights under five hours. the a320 has been involved in high profile incidents including the germ yang weeks flight with the cope pilot took the plane on a suicide dive into the french alps. and another crash blamed on rudder problems and the miracle on the hudson, where captain sully chesley sullenberger made an emergency landing on the hudson river in 2009. there are more than 6,000a-320s in operation. one takes off and lands every three seconds, and along with the penguin 777 the a32 has the

a british commercial pilot tells the bbc he flew a boeing 747 through the same air space at almost the same time the flight went missing help was 2,000 feet higher but tells the bbc the weather was in his words, perfect. rick reithmuth is live in the fox weather center. so in issues there when the egypt flight disappeared?

>> none at all, and you know as a pilot, high pressure in the area keeps things very good for flying, creating a lot of stability, windses very, very light, and really good visibility. look at the last 24 hours of satellite imagery and you can see the eastern part of the mediterranean looks good at the time in the plane went down. >> what about the conditions now, especially the ocean where they're try to search? >> they're actually doing fine right now. it's nighttime there but sunrise is around 5:00 a.m. local time tomorrow morning. this is a future radar. this being the site here and you go back and see the storm across europe. that for tomorrow mostly the entire day will be very clear, seeing a little clouds coming through tomorrow night, and then a little bit of rain showers maybe overnight in towards saturday morning, but a good full sift -- set of daylight, good conditions for searching,

wind-wise, this blue color represents 15-miles-an-hour winds or stronger. and look where the crash site is, nothing registering near that. so the sea surface will be calm. waves very, very light, and things will be fine. the one thing they do have, mediterranean on the average is a thousand feet deep. this is the where where there are deeper crevasses and canals trenches so it's a very difficult bottom of the sea floor. one of last thing to tell you, current, wise, there's different currentses within the mediterranean, not impacted by the wind so if there isn't much wind the general current would probably be pulling it away from shore, from the coast of egypt at least so that's one of the things they'll be looking at as well. >> rick mike -- reithmuth.

the navy released video of an earn p3 orion taking off from a base in lit to join teams from egypt and greece searching for signs of debris in the sea. this is a look at the moment of ships in the area during the early morning hours and shows merchant vessels joining the search, heading for the spot the flight is believed to have gone down. tim taylor is ceo of the sub sea services, specializing in row boltics and imaging. we just heard rick reithmuth say this could be at a department of 8 -- depth to 10,000 feet, the sea floor depth. how big a problem is that going to be in searching for what could be evidence of a criminal investigation? >> the depth creates a little difficulty but not a major problem. it's more the terrain that it's

in. keep in mind that the ocean isn't a flat bottom. it has mountains and ridges and areas that can affect finding the debris. so, the technology and the equipment exist to work at what would be 3,000 meters, equals 10,000 feet, so it's not that deep, all things considered, workable. mt. not thing they'll find today. they'll find debris on the surface but if the find the major wreckage, looking for black boxes and massive parts of this plane, it's not going to happen overnight. it's going to be deployed and set up. so logistically we're looking at time, but in possibilities, it's not all that hard. again, keep in mind, remember when we lost -- mountains west

of the united states and couldn't find them. that's on dry land. >> air freers 447, took them a long time to fine it, basically on the side of a mountain under thousands of feet of water in the atlantic. this could be a long search. >> yes, but not like flight 370 where they don't know where the start. they have very good data here. they're going to find wreckage. i'm not sure if they're saying right now the -- the breaking news i'm aware of is the debris the greeks said they had found is not exactly the-coming from the -- >> they're backing away from the claims they found debris on the surface. again, it's a crime scene. you're going to want to get to those black box recorders, which are locked into the tail of the aircraft. but you also have to survey the debris field? so how do you balance that desire?

>> well, it's part and parcel of the same thing in order to find these things things you have to, and fortunately with the technology today you can be running autonomous vehicle doing surveys and sending robots down at the same time you're still mapping. we still have bodies and human remains that have to be dealt with and that's a priority. so finding and mapping the area can -- it's not mutually exclusive to going down and working. so find an area you can work as long as you have separate platforms or boats to work from. >> let's hope they start hearing the pings from the emergency location. >> and they have days, 30 days on those. or maybe mobile. so i'm encouraged by the fact that the technology exists -- and this is not going to be a flight 370. >> tim taylor, thank you. >> glad to be here. >> team fox coverage continues

in a moment. i'll talk with a former pilot who looks into disasters like this one. why he says the clues could point to a problem on one side of the aircraft, specifically the left wing.

closing arguments wrapped up today in the trial of one of the officers charged in the arrest and death of freddie gray. of edward nero facing years in prison for assault and other charges. his attorneys say he wasn't the one who made the actual arrest. freddie gray died in a hospital from supreme injuries a week after police -- from spinal injuries. the u.s. air force reports a b52 crashed during takeoff at a base in guam during what we're told was a routine training mission, all seven people onboard made it out receively. investigator -- safely. the feds are suing golfer phil

mickelson over an insider trading scheme. the complaint from a security and exchanges commission claims mickelson made more than $900,000 off a stock tip. mickelson's lawyers say he didn't do anything wrong and is not facing criminal charges. the news continues right after this.

updating fox's top story. investigators from here to france and egypt are focusing on the final moments of egypt air flight 804, trying to explain what sent the plane into the sea. one employee onboard, an employee of proctor and gamble. according to reports another passenger was saudi diplomat and mother in france for her doctor's medical care, one young man was a student at a french military academy returning home to mourn the death of his family. now his family may be mourning him. ashley webster is here. >> well know the makeup of who

was onboard the plane. 66 people in total. seven you three-quarters security officers were there -- three security officers were there, two were professional security officers, one was a trainee, but as for the nationalities we have 30 egyptians on the flight, 15 from french citizens and then a slew of individuals from iraq, u.k., bell judges kuwait, saudi aunian, algeria, sudan, chad, portugal. >> what about security officers here in the u.s.? any reaction? >> it's interesting. just in the last few minutes we heard from the department of homelandecurity saying based on what we have seen today, even though we don't know the cause of the plane crash there will not be heightened security involving u.s. airports and u.s. flights. they say they're at the same level of readiness as they were when the russian jet was brought down seven months ago over the sinai peninsula. >> thank you. there's no way to know at this point what was happening in

the cockpit when the plane disappeared but pilots in the u.s. have been able to draw some conclusions based on reports of the plane's movement at the time. we told you earlier signals from the plane's final moments showed it took a hard turn to the left, then made a 360 to the right, twisting around, all the while it dropped some 20,000 feet before disappearing and ultimately hitting the ocean. daniel rose is a lend -- licensed pilot. he is live on the fox news deck. you have been able to come to some conclusions based on that radar track of the plane, the hard left turn and then the 360 to the right. >> well, it's obviously still too early to come up with anything definitive but seems to be consistent wife a couple of things. when you see the plane going to the left that could be consistent with a problem on the left wing or the left wing breaking off, like in a bottom or mechanical failure, and that will cause the plane to go to the left. would always cause the plane

tool upsite -- upside-down, and then goes backwards and goes back to right, which we see in the radar information. so, if the information is correct that could be consistent with a bomb, a structural damage to the wing, possibly other -- >> the area where the wing meets the fuselage is the strongest part and also the part that terrorists would try to take out if they can. that would be where a bomb might have the greatest effect. >> absolutely. it's the strongest but the most vulnerable in the sense if you want to get this plane down, that's what you want to targets and what you want to break. so, obviously that's the place you want to place a bomb. >> why no communication from the pilots? you would think they would have had time to get on the radio and issue some kind of a may day? >> i don't know. we don't see that, john, too often.

twa800 was a catastrophic explosion no sign of anything from their. libya, the pan am 103 flight, same thing, no distress call. even air france 447, where the aircraft just spiraled down and the crew was all conscious and trying to recover the plane for minutes. they didn't have the presence of mind to issue a distress call. >> unfortunately, these days we have to consider pilot suicide. it's happened at egyptair before. >> certainly, flight 990 was deemed a pilot suicide by the u.s. authorities. no distress call there but the cockpit voice recorders showed i was a suicide. >> and the german wings aircraft another case of pilot suicide. bit -- but based on the radar track of the plane you think this was probably some kind of major mechanical failure, possibly brought on by

explosives. >> i think -- well, it's really too early to tell but it's likely some kind of catastrophic, whether it's bomb-induced or otherwise, causing that kind of maneuver. of course you could have a struggle in the cockpit as well could be consistent with that, but those become very more unlikely scenario. >> the pilots seem to have a significant amount of time flying this particular type of aircraft. >> yeah. so did the air francisco true. the captain did. that doesn't go in your favor. you can get too reliant on the odd make working, and if something happens, its takes you by surprise and if your not ready to deal with it, you can have this kind of result. that's what pilots get paid to deal with, that moment in their career when something goes wrong. >> that was one of the conclusion necessary air france investigation, they were very

good at flying the computers but not adept at flying the airplane. >> there's a lot of that going on these days, as technology improves, becomes easier to fly these aircraft, assuming everything is going right, and everybody takes it for grant ode, but when something doesn't go right, that's when the pilots have to fall back on their judgment, their discipline, training and their skills to fly the aircraft, separate and apart from the technology and that's big problem in aviation, pilots getting too reliant on everything going right with good was an airbus a320 as war the air asia flight that within down in the java sea. coincidence or concern about that aircraft? >> we heard the asia -- a320 hayes a very good track record, 6,000 planes out there. this will we see more, you have

to say it's really just a co incident. no history of a was strophic problem with a wing coming off. that's not to say the plane couldn't have been damaged and not properly repaired and over time caused a file our of the d -- failure of the wing but no history of that. >> daniel rose, commercial pilot and aviation attorney, thank you. >> sure. >> investigators say it is too soon to know what caused that plane crash, but egyptian officials are not ruling outer terrorism. up next we talk with a formeri cia director who says there's an ongoing issue with employee screening. before earning enough cash back from bank of america to buy a new gym bag. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time

and 2% back at the grocery store. even before he got 3% back on gas. kenny used his bankamericard cash rewards credit card to join the wednesday night league. because he loves to play hoops. not jump through them. that's the excitement of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms...

...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a clearer path forward. for a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through

ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. her long day as anne. hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. came out today thousands of people to run the race for retirement. so we asked them... are you completely prepared for retirement? okay, mostly prepared? could you save 1% more of your income? it doesn't sound like much, but saving an additional 1% now, could make a big difference over time. i'm going to be even better about saving. you can do it, it helps in the long run. prudential bring your challenges investigators caution it's much too early to know exactly

what happened to egypt air flight 804 but the leader of russia's top security agency is not wasting time. he says, quote, in all likelihood it was a terror attack that brought down the plane. james woolsey is a former director of the u.s. cia and is live from atlanta. mr. woolsey, are the russians just shooting fast from the hip or have solid evidence this was definitely terrorism. >> they're shooting fast, probably, but the indications are in that direction. this happened with the plane at 35,000 to 40,000 pete in perfectly good weather. it was a strange maneuver that came on very suddenly. there's no real indication it was anything else. so, i don't think you can say it's for sure, and this business there's very few things that are for sure, but eight to one, ten to one, i think probably you

could make that kind of a call. >> there was also a report from a greek ship that reported seeing a fire ball streaking across the sky. >> yes. >> if a plane is coming down in flames, that leads one to believe there was some kind of explosion. >> yes, indeed and greeks on island saw the same thing. and that's a pretty dramatic thing to see, and they reported it, i'm told, before there was any press report they could have heard. so, it's another pretty good indication it was likely that there was a terrorist act involved. >> this plane came from paris. it departed paris on its way to egypt. we know that the paris airport has had a lot of questions raised about the ground personnel who service these aircraft. we thought we -- we were told there had been a sweep and a lot

of these people who maybe shouldn't have been working on airplanes had been taken out of there. but after something like this happens, you have to wonder how thorough the sweep was. >> well, you also have to worry about that sort of sweep in the united states, because if you're a terrorist and you see something succeed like this, if this was a terrorist act you may start think about doing it in other places such as in american maintenance facilities and so forth for aircraft. if you're doing security for a company, normally there's not going -- in a normal world without terrorism, there's not going to be any particular risks to having someone who is dishonest in the hangar, not money to steal, et cetera, but if you're a terrorist, hangars and maintenance facilities are very attractive places because you can put a small bomb in some portion of the hull that, if you

know what you're doing, where to pit it, you could well have something that would go off at an appropriate altitude or appropriate time, and no fingerprints, nothing left except that you were one of the workers, and that's a very serious problem. vetting people from this part of the world is very hard. passports and identity papers are forged and available quite cheaply in places like lebanon and syria. >> to our knowledge there's been no claim of responsibility from isis or any other terror group. does that surprise you? >> well, they may come along with one, or it could have been something like this. if you know what you're doing and you are an employee at a hangar, you could do this by yourself or with one or two other people and perhaps without even if it's not by yourself, even a few people, being careful

and not saying anything over social media or any of the other things we very carefully watch. >> something like the san bernardino attackers pulled off basically in tribute to isis. >> in a sense, yes. >> so, where do we go from here? the cia is obviously going to be working this case. will there be some kind of record, some kind of internet or communications record that they're sweeping right now? >> maybe, but i think in terms of the government, the most serious thing is going to be the decision, either today or soon, a hearing, anyway, on whether to let in 100,000 people from syria that the administration wants to, and one feels sorry for these people, and we are after all a nation of immigrants, but on the other hand, we have to be

careful, and as i said, vetting is so hard to do well in that part of the world. if we let in 100,000 syrians the near future, the chance that one or two or three of them might have the same propensities as the person who probably brought down this airliner does exist. >> point taken. james woolsey, former director of the cia. thank you. a man who has been a fixture in american living rooms for decade, on primetime television for longer than anyone else, has died. a look back at the life and career moreley safer. before i had the shooting, burning of diabetic nerve pain, these feet were the first in my family to graduate from college
