and boeing, the united states and chinese and australian officials are joining them over last few days. this is becoming a bigger and bigger group and it just shows you how important this is. it is one of the biggest aviation mysteries on earth. now, what are they going to do? they are going to try to find a direct link. they don t want to really make this a process of elimination. saying, look. we know it s a 777 aircraft and we know mh-370 is the only missing 777 in the world and know it was found in reunion island which is where drift analysis say if mh-370 went down in the indian ocean it went there. they will take it apart piece-by-piece and carry out x-rays and sonograms and let us know if it is from mh-370. we don t have a time for that announcement. thank you for that, saima.
investigations. those investigators will arrive sometime this afternoon we are told by the paris prosecutor s office. who are they? the united states and ntsb and national transportation safety board, boeing, malaysia airlines. malaysia civil aviation authorities. a team relating to mh-370 and chinese officials and australian safety board joining in at the very last minute. they will come to this lab. a high-tech lab and one of the best in the world where previous aircraft investigations have taken place. they will assemble and run their tests. the flaperon was delivered as you remember over the weekend in a sealed container led by a police escort. this is an incredibly delicate and sensitive investigation on so many levels. is it mh-370? one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time. where did it go down? how did it go down? those are the kind of answers that potentially they can answer
what is described as one of the biggest aviation mysteries of all time gretchen. greg stand by again if you will. thank you for that update. back in studio with john scott. let s go back to when this plane was first missing. there was so much discussion about did one of the pilots deliberately want to take this plane down. we know that the transponder went off and there was no communication after one last good night. you have just talked about an aviation friend or mechanical friend who said that possibly there was a fire in the belly. there s also the possibility that this was a deliberate act. possible. all of those are possible. until we find the transponders and the fuselage of that aircraft we re not going to know for sure. i believe there was a large shipment of lithium ion batteries. this is malaysia. they produce a lot of that kind of thing. a shipment of ion batteries in the belly of that plane. when those things catch fire and they have been known to do so before. they
everyone wants right at the top is, does this flaperon belong to mh-370? we know that it s from a 777 aircraft and of course we know there is no other 777 aircraft missing in the world right now. this is, of course, one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time. but they don t want to just say that by a process of elimination. they want a direct link between the flaperon that was brought here over the weekend in a sealed container to mh-370. so what kind of experiments are they going to be running right now? they ve agreed on what they re going to do over the last two days. of course, every group has its own way of investigating an air crash. so the united states, france, malaysia, had to agree what tests they d run. and they re likely to be doing things like sonograms, x-rays, 3-d imagery. rene marsh went to a laboratory yesterday to see how they would be doing these tests. then they will take the piece
nomination than any previous democratic nominee person running in the primaries. it s the whole party has organized itself around hillary clinton s nomination. so the thing to look for is who are the first brand-name democrats who say, you know biden should get in the race too as a backup. and what position does it put president obama in. very tough. i will also say, cnn s own reporting, cnn s jeff zeleny reporting yesterday that vice president joe biden is still considering a run for 2016. so we ll be watching. ryan lizza thank you, as always. thanks poppy. see you soon. well it is one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time but with possible news and possible debris from flight mh-370 being found, it is certainly reopening old wounds for the loved ones of those 239 people onboard. next how a discovery like this impacts them and their legal case.
