i want to go to kevin corriveau with another map and talk about the weather in that area, kevin. >> that's right john. whenever an airplane crashes we look first thing at the weather. i took a look at what's happening right now. most of the map is fairly quiet. when the plane is in altitude anywhere from 32,000 to 42,000 feet, it tends to be above any of the problems. there were no thunderstorms in this region, south coast of china we think this is the area of concern. now normally planes do not have problems when they're in air, they take off as well as landing. so turbulence was that a problem? we really need to have those thunderstorms. as you can see these were clear skies. as we go through the rest of the day, today and tomorrow, recovery as well as search efforts will not be hindered by any type of weather at all. so that's one good thing for the rest of this -- >> so it's clear, was it clear as a bell? >> yes, up towards china we had some weather and down near kuala lumpur we had some weather but nothing in the south china sea. >> up next barbara bush the former first daughter, shin
