we ve seen great advances in the use of drones discussions about pilotless planes particularly on cargo flights. i think we re a decade a we re from that technology being testable in the air. here s a question for you tom. is there a possibility the plane was hacked and that the co-pilot was framed? i think the problem with that is that you couldn t hack the door to be locked. you couldn t hack to keep the pilot out. as far as deliberately changing the trajectory of the plane to go do you think and fly into the mountain i don t see how you could hack that or prevent that from being undone if the co-pilot didn t want that to happen. here s a question for you les from michelle. plane was presumably full of fuel. why wasn t there a fiery
cholesterol? you know what the difference is? apparently that doesn t matter much anymore. i want to bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. what makes these new guidelines so monumental? sanjay gupta, can you hear me? all right. we re obviously having some problems with sanjay. we will come back to him in a second. now we will turn to the world lead. if you approach st. paul s hospital in the typhoon devastated city of tacloban in the philippines, you will see a hand-drawn sign that reads no admissions, no supplies. a blunt on-target summation of the desperate situation throughout the country. cargo flights are arriving. hundreds of tons of supplies are waiting. but conditions on the ground are keeping help out of some of the most affected areas. debris is blocking many roads and there is no power, no communication and no clean drinking water sources in wide swaths of the country.
seasoned team of investigators the first thing they ll be looking for are the recorders. the two devices will tell us a lot about what might have happened, but they ll be looking at other things, the engines, they ll be looking at the actual aircraft itself. they ve got a team that s going to be dealing in operations, a team that will deal in weather, a team dealing with air traffic control. lots of experts going to be looking at this asking a lot of questions, trying to get a lot of answers. these cargo flights take off often at night. are there more crashes at night than during the day? not necessarily. remember, this particular accident happened around 5:00 in the morning. it was on approach. what s interesting is the last three big airplane accidents that have occurred over the past five to six weeks have occurred on approach. so questions will be asked about that. is there anything in common? we don t know yet. i want to ask you about the horrific crash of an airbus in
