all 228 people aboard flight 447 were killed when the airbus crashed en route to paris on june 1st, 2009>> there's a report that the pilots may have become distracted moments before the air crash. that's a report set from the preliminary findings from the flight recorders. richard quest takes a look at that. >> the report, if true, gives a good account of what's likely to have taken place of flight 447. the plane flying over 35,000 feet flew into a cloud of storm and then there were a series of failures, notably the speed sensors which cascaded through other computer systems. it's supposed while the pilots were dealing with these, the plane was reduced and fell into a stall. that's the way the rumor and leak goes so far, but it's not confirmed by the airline or the investigating authorities. the investigators will provide a timeline of events on friday, which will clarify matters a bit further. to say this was pilot mistake because the pilots were too busy to notice that the plane was actually falling out of the sky is way too simplistic. it's expected that there'll be a lot of attention
