plane. so it probably went south. you flew in this part of the world as a young navy pilot. what are the challenges here, especially when we re talking about potentially something deep in the sea, something this large? what can you tell us about having been above that area? well, first i would not throw out the possibility that this aircraft was able to slip past radar in some of these for lack of a better term third world countries. really? one possible way that that could happen would be if the aircraft shadowed another aircraft. in other words, a loose formation. if he flew that much in that area, he would know schedules, he would recognize certain flights explain what that means for people who aren t aviation experts because this is another near they s out there and that s been talked about a lot. i ve got to tell you, it just man, that s a level of luck and
sophisticated plot that would take much more than a pilot and a co-pilot to pull off. i mean, you re talking about probably a state sponsor of terrorism that would be able to pull something like that off. i don t want to interject here but, look, a sophisticated pilot can fly low, maybe evade radar but we re talking about the borders of china, india and pakistan. these countries is fought more than five wars over these borders. they re heavily contested. there are millions of soldiers and equipment that are on these borders and radars that are pointed looking for low-flying aircraft. you re telling me that they can t see a 777, a boeing 777 with 250 people? it s the first time i ve ever heard of anything like that. it would be very rare. it could happen but the chances are very, very slim and nobody from china or pakistan or india has seen any rar day evidence of this. in fact, they ve denied seeing any radar evidence of this. so it s possible but it s an extremely slim chance. i w
and remember one of the things that they were really looking at was the flight simulator, a pretty sophisticated one, in the home of the pilot. they are asking for help with analysis. so the fbi which has a special unit to do difference i can analysis of that kind of information will start with a cursory review that could take just some days and then we could have more information on this soon as they do a bigger dive. files on the pilots flight simulator had been delete sod one of the first things they ll be looking for is to retrieve those deleted files. we will keep you updated. meantime, just last hour the justice department formally announced a $1.2 billion settlement with toyota over customer complaints that its cars accelerated without warning. now, this deal means the automaker and its executives won t likely face criminal charges providing they cooperate with independent monitors who are now assigned to watch the business. attorney general eric holder said this morning that t
would not raid glow and say hey, this guy is on my tail ? that sounds like a near-miss to me. if there is a collision avoidance system on the aircraft that, indeed, may sound or get the pilot in the lead a heads up that you re back there. but if they re turning off equipment and they turned that equipment off as well it is possible. now, i admit, this is nighttime, it would be much more difficult but, again, we don t know what happened to that aircraft so we have to keep everything on the table. and that while that s a possibility, but then you have to look at what happens next? does the plane land? and then at once plane lands after it, for example, would shadow another plane into some sovereign country s territory, it s on the ground, now you ve got to keep a secret. now you ve also got close to 240 people that you have to take control of. now you re talking about a very
we ve got allstate, right? uh-huh. yes! well, i found this new thing called. [ dennis voice ] allstate quickfoto claim. [ normal voice ] it s an app. you understand that? just take photos of the damage with your phone and upload them to allstate. really? so you get [dennis voice] a quicker estimate, quicker payment, [normal voice] quicker back to normal. i just did it. but maybe you can find an app that will help you explain this to your.father. [ vehicle approaches ] [ dennis ] introducing quickfoto claim. just another way allstate is changing car insurance for good. we just want to get you up to speed on this latest breaking news on the malaysia flight. we first talked about it at the top of the show. now the fbi has been given hard copies of the hard drives of the computers of both the pilot and the co-pilot.
