reportedly said the tail section might we say might have been found. if confirmed, which so far it s not, it would be a major development. because, obviously, the tail is where the airliner s cockpit and flight data recorders are located. the investigation tonight yielding new theories about why the airbus a-320 fell from the sky over a week ago on its way to singapore. what triggered the crash, indonesian officials pointing to engine icing as it flew through brutal weather that s caused so much trouble for recovery crews. kyung lah has the latest. what are you learning? reporter: we re learning that there is extensive work happening in jakarta to prepare for the next phase of the investigation. that being analysis of what is found at sea. there are going to be two laboratories here looking at that. the first will be a dna lab.
