shed light on why this happened. we re also not showing any faces in the frame. in addition to three guests who will be joining us shortly, all experts in aviation and crash investigations, they will be weighing in on what they see in this video. because whatever brought the flight down on approach yesterday to nepal s second largest city likely happened or became unstoppable in those seconds that you ll see. 72 people were above the twin engine european made airliner, at least 68 are known to have died. now, the last video is difficult to watch. the plane in the sky. we should warn you again so is this video inside the plane. the view is out the left side of the aircraft. you see the wings trailing edge. the back side of the wing as the plane starts to bank to the left. in a moment you ll see a white flash where we do an edit. then the plane levels momentarily and then just a few seconds later, it all goes wrong and the plane banking again drops. take a look. we have live re
of course that did not come into play here that i can see. it s so difficult and tragic to watch this, anderson. you can get some information from those videos. but the other thing i noticed from those videos and mary and les had said is that left flap is up higher than you might normally see during approach. the only thing that i can think of, the amount of kinetic energy that is required to make that aircraft bank so quickly is a lot. there has to be something in the air flow or as les mentioned a possible stall. but if that left flap was split, we call that a split flap condition, in which one flap goes lower than the other, it can cause a very dramatic roll because that s a lot of mass out in the air flow to make the aircraft go one direction or the other. of course it s too early to speculate, but this tragic situation, as i said, it s after being on accident sites and going through it, it s quite emotional to have to go through that and see that. but it s necessary. david, do y
show any kind of damage or any kind of reason for it to be doing what it was and just dived directly into that building, i ve got to tell you, i am very suspicious about why this happened. and given the fact that we have now learned that this pilot set his own house on fire before he took off, we ve got ourselves a situation that s going to need a lot of investigation. and you also have a report, jim, and again, this is all coming in and we re trying to be responsible, certainly, and giving out the information we re receiving. but you have one witness saying that he saw the aircraft bank into the building. which we re looking at theorys of was he trying to make an energy la emergency landing? i know highway 183 very well. it is very rarely empty, it is always packed, it s a major thoroughfare. even if he were trying to land there, that would have been a mistake. but when you have a report that this pilot banked, turned hard into this building, it also
