that's what the malaysians told us. there are a lot of reports circulating around the internet that the pro russian separatists have retrieved one or more of the black boxes and sent them to moscow for appraisal. the transport minister here could not verify those claims. but i asked him about it and i asked him about what the next step would be if, in fact, the black box were -- black boxes were sent to moscow. and i also asked him if he believes that this was a willful act of terrorism. this is what he had to say. >> when the authorities and -- apology apologies so -- >> and do you think this is a willful act of terrorism or the a miscalculation on the part of war? >> all these operations of -- even now we are the benefactors. >> as he pointed out in your intro, julia, a lot of countries and organizations like united nations and nato are putting a lot of pressure on the international community to come together to really push for international investigation. that's what's really needed here. but this causes another set

period by malaysian airlines a boeing seven seven seven one of the largest. one of the one of the most popular air carriers out there was carrying two hundred ninety five people on board going from down to kuala lumpur obviously when we're talking about this sort of flights we're talking about very international number of people on board so of course at this point we cannot confirm exactly. nationals of which countries possibly could have perished in this crash i have to tell you one thing though however i looked at some of the pictures that are floating out there on the on the internet and it's possibly one of the worst things that i have ever seen in my own in my life and not of the i'm not of the weaker kind at the at this point sorry for that person interjection i just thought there's something that we really really do need to get across to our viewers now of course we're talking about an area which has been there which has been basically the scene of some of the most intense fighting between the defense forces and the ukrainian. military forces in recent

from malaysian airlines. the big question they had to answer was why was this plane on route taking it directly over hot water? >> indeed. that was certainly the bulk of the question about that very issue. why did they take that particular route? i should point out at 4:30 this morning in the first comment we got on this from malaysia's prime minister, it was made clear this air route had been approved by the international aviation safety organization. indeed in every question that was put to the transport minister this afternoon, he repeer repeated that. he reported other airlines continued to the route. there was no instructions not to fly the route. he said 15 of 16 airlines in the association of asia pacific airlines flew that route on a regular basis. they certainly anticipated the criticism. it didn't stop the questions coming. it was a war zone. why did they make that decision? why didn't they change their mind? do they take responsibility? they maintained that line since 4:30 this morning. it had been

malaysian air flight 17 from amsterdam to kuala lumpur. if there were an incident, would a man pad shoulder fired missile be able to reach a plane at 35,000 feet or would it have to be one of these anti-aircraft systems like the buk? >> well, andrea, a buk if it was that, ukraunian source told reporters that it was that initially. we don't know. that's not verified as you've been reporting. the buk missile system basically is a surpass to air vehicle mounted system more than capable of taking down a passenger aircraft. and it had been operated for example by, you know, some separatist group with no controls over their actions, i mean, and they had the vehicle, these are usually track mounted vehicle or truck that has these large, you know, 15-foot missiles anthem. and they are making the decision whether they are going to shoot down an aircraft, certainly the missile would be capable of doing that. man pads are capable of getting pretty high altitudes as well. but certainly, the buk could easily do it, if it was in the hands of people on t
