the airbus a-320 series like all the airbus fly by wire series airplanes have protections not to let it stall when all of the computers are online. and so one of the things the investigators are going to look another if that flight radar data is correct, why didn't the protections work? and this is something that is -- would show this is a potential anomaly in the airplane. doesn't say what it is. to further confirm that is the rate of descent being in the 6,000 or greater feet per minute. that would also be consistent with the airplane having stalled. we don't know why. we don't know what -- what issues were going on at the time. but that's the hard data that we're hearing so far. >> right. that information -- that information we will be able to get from the black box when they do find it. aviation -- >> absolutely. >> john cox, thank you so much for joining us and our aviation investigator anthony roman. thank you so much. if you're just joining us, just to tell you what's going on here, nbc news has confirmed that a plane has crashed in the sinai peninsula in egypt. it took off ea

>> the airbus a-321 is the largest of the a-323 family. it can carry over 300 people, it can carry up to 50,000 pounds worth of fuel. it's a very reliable plane. it was the last of the a-320 family that was put into service. it's widely flown. it has a high reliability record, an extremely good safety record. it's a very, very comfortable airplane to fly. it's very highly regarded by airlines and pilots around the world. >> we do know that the plane was about 18 years old and operated by a small russian airline called metro jet that's based in western siberia. do we know anything about the airline or its safety record? >> the a-321 is operated by several airlines in that part of the world. metro jet, i don't have a lot of information on. it is the latest transformation from another russian company and the age of the airplane is kind of midlife. airplanes can fly for many, many years. it's dependent on the maintenance quality and we don't have any of that information yet. so the russian civil authority will certainly be looking at the maint
