And then, they found the crystals. But solving the medical mystery did not solve the main mystery, who poison them . He took a drink of it and said there is something wrong with this.

is finding the wreckage, right? what would they be looking for in the wreckage? what would they find that would factor into an accident theory or if deliberate action is correct? certainly a long list of possibilities and the things that they could find in the debris. probably the most important i ve been told was the engines. getting a hold of the engines would tell them for one thing whether the turbines were actually running when they hit the ground or hit the water, as is the case we think right now. and also a question of whether the engines and the plane were actually starved of fuel, they d be able to determine that. but a lot of other information would be gleaned depending on the type of debris they were able to recover in water in some places is quite deep. thank you, joe johns and barbara starr working through this process of elimination. coming up next, not buying it. the chinese government demanding
