Accord to local media, the copilot of the search and rescue plane reported seeing three bodies floating in the sea holding hands. Vinita. Allen, thank you. That bad weather at the crash site would make it even harder to find out why flight 8501 fell from the sky. Jeff pegues is tracking the investigation from washington. Good morning. The debris field in the sea is starting to yield more evidence about what may have gone wrong. The condition of the bodies and wreckage suggests the plane may have hit the water relatively intact. Seasoned investigators tell us that increases the possibility the pilots may have had time to react to what was going on, the plane could have stalled and air speed may have been a factor. But its the black box that will tell all of this story, most of it. In an a320, its located in a tail section of the plane. Although its called the black box, it contains the cockpit voice recorder. Both will provide Vital Information about the planes altitude, air speed and Engine Performance as well as the pilots final words. Accident investigators will use the information to determine if weather played a role, if mechanical systems failed or pilot error led to the crash. Just a reminder, how long do crews have to find those black boxes . Well, jeff the black boxes have a locator beacon which will emit a ping for about 30 days. Sometimes longer than that. They can survive saltwater. Time is of the essence when it comes to recovering the black boxes. Once investigators locate those black boxes, they will take them out of the saltwater, submerge them in fresh water. What that does is drain the corrosive saltwater from the system. Then they will be able to get the memory board from the black boxes. Thats about the size of this cell phone, thats what contains the vital data they are looking for. Norah.

The three men were arrested last december in cairo, where they had been covering the story of egypts military seizing power from the elected president mohamed morsi. The government accused them of acting as a mouthpiece for the Islamist Party the Muslim Brotherhood. Most diplomats think the men are guilty of nothing more than a tv network funded by the arab kingdom of qatar. Egypts bitter enemy. Mohammed is upon you in a cold war between egypt and qatar and he didnt do anything. He didnt commit any crime. Reporter back in june, the men were convicted in a trial that was farcical and chaotic. President obama have joined the calls for their freedom. We have been clear both public and privately, they should be released.

Someone from jpmorgan suggested they hit back and take down their servers. They did shut down the servers and fbi is trying to find out who did it. Thats because under a 30yearold Law Companies cannot access servers to slow it or stop a pinding attack. Right now the situation is theyre in defense. They have to keep hackers out of their system.

The tradition of ringing in the new year by dropping an object is born on top of the New York Times building in 1907. The city had banned fireworks so the newspapers publisher at the time went looking for a new way to mark the coming of the new year. He adapted a maritime ritual. This was a tradition, a mariners tradition from harbors where a ball would drop at a certain time of day to let all the ships at sea and in the harbor know what time it was. Reporter he arranged to have a 700pound illuminated ball lowered from the times building flagpole precisely at midnight. It was a perfect end to much less flammable way to bring in the new year. Reporter although todays celebrations often include pyrotechnics the drop has endured. Music city nashville, tennessee, its a 15foot red note. While new orleans appropriately lowers a fleur de lis.
