an asia air jet overshot the runway in the philippines. the emergency shootchutes came out. but no one was hurt. searchers have found the cite where they believe 8501 went down. portions of the plane have been found as well as a number of bodies. dis distraught family members learned by a tv report. >> a navy ship is aiding in the search. this has become a recovery mission clearly. katy tur is in singapore. >> reporter: they have pulled quite a few bodies out of the water and they will try to i.d. them as fast as humanly possible so they can get them back to these family so is they can start their religious customs, their memorials their burials as fast as possible. faenl family members were hoping for a miracle, but they found out about the wreckage and bodies in

probably the worst way possible. they were watching local tv at the time when there were images of bodying floating in the water shown on live tv. they were not given a warning. it is worth repeating that there were 162 people on board this flight 17 kids one baby. tomorrow they will be given a charter flight to fly around the islands around the area where the plane lost contact with the radar and they want to give those family as chance to pray for the loved ones .they are still calling this a search and rescue operation. so there is still some hope that there could be a survivor or two out there. they will begin again today tomorrow once daylight comes out. five countries are involved including the u.s.. they have offered two of their own naval ships they will be combing the water to try to find whatever they can. they will also be sending divers under water to a big shadowy area where they believe the bulk of the wreckage is. they're hoping the divers can

find the black boxes bring them bag so they can figure out exactly what went wrong, whether are or not the bad weather was actually to blame. >> we'll dig more into the investigation now with tom costello. what do we know at this point? >> i think what we know is that this plane was for whatever reason at 36,300 feet and at a relatively slow speed. in fact near stall speed when it ran into trouble. the question is why. because was it because it was suddenly facing unbelievable headwinds or did something else happen. was there some sort of a mechanical problem with that was there a computer problem. was there a pilot error. we know multiple planes transited through the storm and we know this pilot in particular tried to climb to a higher are altitude to get out of harm's way. but we don't know whether the plane was torn apart by winds

and severe weather or whether in fact there was a mechanical reason that this plane suddenly approached stall speed and then did pilots lose control and did the plane quite simply stall and fall to the ocean some 36,000 feet below. it if so, the plane as you know it appears it came apart on impact with the water it did not it appears come apart in air. that is the earliest read on this this. and the priority will be first to recover the victims and then second to identify the tail section of the plane and in particular they will be looking for the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. it reports about 1,000 parameters of data everything from head winds to how the engines are performing to your altimeter to what inputs the pilots are making. what is the trim like. a whole variety of pieces of data. but then you couple that with the kfrngts of conferences in the cockpit, and those two pieces of data should give you a picture about what happened what decisions were made and

what the crew was thinking and dealing with. >> you talk about that data and painting that picture. and a tremendous amount of data information that we know is there and stored. and yet one of the things that comes up whenever we cover these kind of disasters is the fact that the data isn't always communicated in real time. reading from the "new york times" today, they point out airlines use satellites to provide internet connections for passengers. yet they still do not stream data in real time about a plane's location. you can you walk us through that sort of contrast and whether any of that will eventually change? >> it is changing here in the united states. we're going to this next generation of air traffic control systems and they do have gps based satellite tracking that is now being rolled out across the entire system. but it is not mandated worldwide. you won't get the international civil aeronautics organization to mandate that because you can't order individual countries or airlines to spend the kind of

money necessary to equip their planes with that. keep in mind this is a business the aviation business as really been on its knees financially only until the last five years are or so especially here in the united states. it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars and maybe even higher than that to equip every commercial aircraft in the world with that kind real time satellite tracking technology capability. this is by the way airasia is a low cost carrier. yes, it's been profitable other than the last you few years. but it's a low cost carrier. and when you start talking about having to add significant amounts of dollars to the cost of your trip topoint a to point b to pay for that big technology upgrade, airlines have been reluctant to do that. i don't see that happening anytime soon. it may come from peer pressure if the united states and the europeans for example set the tone and they begin map datingndating it in the united states and elsewhere and other regions

begin to follow. but it truly is a situation of how much it costs and is there a cost benefit to be made. >> tom, one more question on that cost binenefit analysis. do the airlines lose significant money when a plane like this goes down or does insurance make them whole? >> first of all, there is no one single insurance policy. every airline has their open policy. and some individuals are individually ensured. but i don't know who is insuring airasia. as we saw with malaysia airlines and the loss of flight 370 and the shoot down of flight 17 i think it's fair to say it brought that airline to its knees. now, for malaysia airlines it can rely on the fact that it has a large chunk or was at that point largely owned but not wholly owned by the government. today the government has now taken full control over malaysia airlines. it's the only way that that airline could stay afloat. >> tom, thank you very much for that information. joining us with more on the

challenges that lie ahead for investigators trying to find this plane is director of special projects. dave, your company is famous for finding proverbial needles in haystacks. you were the ones who helped find the air france flight that was at the bottom of the atlantic that people looked for for years. you found it and helped us learn what we needed to learn about that crash. talk about the challenges around finding this plane that are different from the challenges around other similar situations. >> certainly we were part of a huge international airport. i don't want to make it seem like it was just us. but we were the ones out there. and in this case that case air france 447, a plane people thought would never be found, we were dealing with deep water, very rupged terrain at the bottom mountains. more steep than any mountains we have on land. and a c-4 that was not known. we had no idea what was down there.

in this case much shallower waters. and benign conditions. you don't have the 10 20, 30 foot waves. fairly calm sea conditions. i'm not saying it's flat calm. just relatively so. also the distances involved we're close to land here. we don't have to transit out for days just to get to the work site. we can get out there in a matter of hours. so i think that makes things a lot easier and the kinds of tools that we can bring to bear are much more easily available than the deep water stuff. >> give us a sense, you talked briefly about the heavy currents. this has to be the worst time of year to be doing a search like this in this part of the world with the winds and the currents. give us a sense of right now how much more difficult it must make it for them to independent for a the wreckage. >> i'm told the currents are right now not so bad there. i'm interested in finding out more about that. but certainly currents if you're in the water with vehicle it

will start pushing the vehicles around. that makes things difficult. visibility, if you're using cameras and the like to document the fuselage, that makes things difficult, too, because it might kick up sediments. so there are just becauses's shallow water doesn't mean it's a cake walk. still going to be tough. two things are going on. one is the humanitarian effort to recover bodies. very important. and number two, to begin the forensic investigation about what happened to the plane all leading eventually to i said for aing those black boxes, finding the fuselage. >> it seems crazy that in 2014 commercial airlines do not use technology to locate planes immediately when they go down. it's not that we don't have the technology. they don't use it. they say there could be be no greater irony than the fact that when helicopters were sent to search for flight 370, because there were military equipment, they were fitted with deployable recorders, they had flight data recorders or black boxes that would be automatically ejected

if the airplane hit the water. a transmitter would send out signals giving the exact location. why don't commercial airlines use this? >> i'm a little bit calmer about it today than i was yesterday. but my understanding is that the airlines agree that this an important thing, that it will be you have to -- it's not mandated. so it maybe tough to put it in place. infrastructure is not quite there yet. you talk about cost benefit. think about the anguish of these families and now there are thousands of families involved when you have 160 some odd passengers. but look at the anguish and tell me it's a matter of cost to make them suffer for days at a time and even longer in the case of flight 370. horrific. and the cost of a search. in deep water, we're talking about tens of millions of dollars before you're done with the deep water search. so i find it hard to believe that that's a good reason not to get off their butts and get the system in place. it's time. >> thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. there is much more to come on this developing story mainly

our friends at the weather channel are learning more about what it was like for the pilots in the cockpit in those critical moments before airasia flight 8501 went down. there was the thunderstorm, there was the request to change alley altitude and then something very

tricky. here is carl parker. >> one of the leading theories as to the cause of the airasia flight is presence of super cooled water drop lets in the thunderstorm cloud. let's take a look at how that might have happened. here is the flight flying into the cloud. super cool water drop lets are liquid water drop lets that exist below freezing because they do not have ice nuke clee eye to form ice. but when they come in contact with objects such as a plane, they can form ice. there are tubes on the front of these planes and they measure the air speed of the plane. so air flows into the tube and that creates a certain pressure and that pressure is what reads the air speed. but if that tube is blocked for some reason, then they won't get an air speed measurement. p the tubes are heated so that generally does not occur. but it certainly is possible that it could have been not heated, there could have been a malfunction and ice could have built up thp case they wouldn't get an air speed measurement, they wouldn't know how fast they

were flying and in that case they may have gone into a stall. that's a possible explanation for what happened there on the other side of the world. back to you. >> very interesting theory. let's bring in michael kay, former adviser to the uk ministry of defense. what do you think about this other about the pito tubes getting frozen and thus pilots not knowing how fast they were actually going? >> first thing i want to say is that we don't know what's happened until we get all the data. it will tell us what happened, it nt would he will it us how it happened. what has been described there is the sequence of events that brought air france 447 from the cruise into the crash location. what happens is that pressure you're talking about is dynamic pressure. it goes into the air speed indicator. when that gets blocked, the air speed indicator operates as an altimeter. so if the aircraft flims, you'll sclimb,

you'll see an increase in speed, if it descends, a decrease in speed. there was something that occurred which was slow like an icing buildup that the crew weren't aware of. that's why a call didn't go out. or and we mustment rule this out, there was a catastrophic event. something like an explosion, something like a rapid decompression where there wasn't time a put a call out. >> and i heard a third 240ertheory from a pilot the that sometimes the actual emergency incident is so overwhelming that the pilots are completely focused in an emergency secretary of trying to manage it. say they have one or two minutes to go. and they never put out a distress call at all. do you think that should be fitted in here as a theory? >> there are a million different theories. and we never know how a crew is going to operate. crews go through what is called crm, crews resource management. and they are trained for hours

on how to deal in situations like this. the mantra is to fly, navigate the airport, and then communicate. so it could well be that they have so busy flying the airplane that a call may not go out. i find it highly unlikely. >> you don't think that's likely. you think this is a situation where you run in into a problem and if or not in xhun cadn xhun cad dough, you would get a did it ists distress call out? >> i've been in a rapid decompression claim we are decompression chamber and all of a sudden they will take you to 30,000 feet. and what happens is the air inside your body expands. it's a very very uncomfortable thing that happens to your body. so you have to get over that to begin with. but going back to the simulator, these guys would l. havehave trained

for hours. >> but for a storm like situation like this? how well trained are pilots for circumstances like this where you're in a moment as ari was mentioning and the pilot has to make the decision on his own. >> there are literally hundreds of combinations of emergencies that can occur. from the very basic ones such as a pito heater failure. and the crew will deal with it. it might be a circuit breaker popping. or from the severe double engine failure. what i would say is that in the simulator, when you go in, you are in the mindset to have all these emergencies thrown at you. if there is a situation when you're 30,000 feet you're in the cruise everything is looking good and you get a slow build up of something that's when it can be dangerous because or not getting alerted to it. and the way that you train yourself to deal with these type of situations is cross-referencing the instruments.

what is the vertical speed indicator saying what is the -- >> so is it normal to slow down in a situation like that? >> you would never slow down as you're approaching. there is a stall speed for a reason. we talk about going into the stall. one of the key things when you get into a heavy stall is the stick shaker. what will happen is the yoke or the the stick which the pilots fly with which literally start to shake. that's when you're entering the very final moments of a catastrophic stall and you'll get alarms going off, as well. so there are a lot of alarms and indications built into something before you get into a situation where you have air france 447 descending at 14,000 feet. >> we come out here and we have these dyeetailed conversations and of course it would be absurd to report 4,000 planes took off and all landed safely. but overall, aviation is as safe

as it's ever been. and the vast majority of times nothing is going to happen. we didn't want to overscare people by always talking about and never reminding them that aviation is still extraordinarily safe for this point in history. >> it's a great point. there are 50,000 people that die from road traffic extents s accidents, 300,000 people that die from obesity. this is something that is very unusual. i think what has happened is malaysia 370 has woken everybody up and because still hasn't been found yet, people are now more alert to this and there are a lot of people who travel through air, thousands of flights every day. >> when i took off for new york last week i could see probably 100 planes in the air. i was amazed at how there are so you few incidents that actual li happen. >> and i think that is probably something more concerning to me is the amount of aircraft. congested airways that we see.

but there is technology that helps. >> michael, thanks. always good to see you. coming up, big weather problems here at home. has the power to captivate.
