boeing and airbus, the two leading manufacturers, are routinely instantly invited. they have the technical capability of analyzing the plane, telling the investigators how it works, giving them drawings, giving them flight simulators, doing flight tests. and it's necessary. i'm not saying it's wrong. it's part of the process. it all happens. in this particular case if you recall in one of the briefings where the woman was escorted, that horrible scene with all the reporters. the official press conference i noticed on the wall a boeing sign. it looked to me like they were holding press conferences at boeing facility. i know from prior experience there's no doubt, silkair, boeing had an intimate role in the indonesian government. they floated these intentional misconduct theories very early. we see the same thing happening here. it may turn out to be the case. but it's wrong to start off with conclusions without factual basis. and that i think is what's occurring here. >> keith massback, you've been making many appearances here on cnn because of your expertise. i'm cu
