i want to bring in fox news anchor and pilot jon scott. on what you have heard so far, do you get a sense of what might have happened here? >> first of all, we're talking about this because it is so unusual to have a midair collision. i have flown that route dozens of times. this are two ways you can go. you can stay down low in what is called the vfr, visual flight rules air corridor down the hudson. that's where most of the helicopters fly, and the rule is simply this -- you just look out for other traffic and avoid them. people who don't fly might think that's a crazy system but it's no different from being, you know, having a four-way stop at a busy intersection for instance. a driver is expected to look around for traffic and when the way is clear, you go. you do the same thing in aviation. there is an upper level, a higher flight corridor that starts at 1,500 feet above the hudson, under which when you fly through that area, you are runner the positive control of the la guard ya tower or the newark tower. the f.a.a. is watchelling yo

>> jon, you are putting on me on the spot. the bad generation i represented in a way, i was born in 1940. so my earliest memories are of the war. i was not a boomer. but i came to understand the boomers and the cultural unhappiness with the way the things were in the country. at the same time, i was a beneficiary of the greatest generation. i think that senator kennedy probably felt that way as well. he was raised, in effect, as a shadow of his brothers, both of whom served in the service. bobby at the end of world war ii but his brother was heroic and lost a brother in world war ii. so that was always with him. but then he became a candidate, if you will, of the boomers and of the counter culture. i remember so much so well in 1968, pat buchanan was there but a different role. he was there as a lookout for president nixon. and pat, you will remember the big, big issue of that democratic convention was will teddy come and pick out the fallen apple of his brother. that was part of the tension there for several days. and he chos
