Hello, everyone. Im kate bolduan with john berman in new york, and sara sidner is in jerusalem, and this morning the number of people taken hostage by hamas is being raised to 222. And sources say that the u. S. Is asking israel to delay a Ground Incursion into gaza to allow more time to get these hose tajs o hostages out. And nevertheless, there is a huge build up of Military Armor stationed around the enclave, and israeli sources say they are preparing for Ground Assaults even as it has conducted more intensified ache strikes overnight. Our Nic Robertson who is stationed here in sderot says it is some of the most intense shelling that he has seen into gaza for some time. We go right to sara sidner who is here in tel aviv, and Nic Robertson is right there in sderot. Yes. I have come over to jerus
learning about this, because it is disturbing? it is very disturbing and sad, because there were 140 passengers on board when it happened. luckily, you will hear about two people in the cob pith in the cockpit, and this is why it is so critical. the captain at the controls on american liairlines flight 550 suffered from some illness and unfortunately passed a away as a result of the illness, and the co-pilot had to take over, and thank goodness, wolf they landed the airbus 320 safely when they diverted to syracuse and now a replacement crew to get the folks from syracuse to the intended destination of phoenix. and everybody is okay, and we will see what happens. you make a good point that is why it is good to have two pilots instead of one. there is a train derailment that occurred in vermont, and what happened? we know that investigators are on the scene, and traveling to the scene, and this is train 55.
we boarded moments ago, ashleigh, and we are about to take off. the pope is already on the plane, and we are ready to go, and discussing what is going to happen during the and you can hear the journalists screaming, because we are trying to figure out what will happen once we get in the air, and the aircraft is moving as we speak, and pope fran circumstances ashleigh, is on the way to washington, d.c., and to make the francis, ashleigh, to make the anticipated speech to congress and the u.n. and we are all wondering what he is going to say. i am watching the pictures not only of the flags out of the cob pith cockpit window as the flight is tax sig across the runway and the picture to the left can you see me wave? well, i am looking at a picture of you being bless ed personally by the pope on the
incapacitated, and some other reason that could have caused the co-pilot to have lost control? well, we do have a capacity that could have blocked the mechanism, and that is what happened here. reporter: and so he blocked it vis-a-vis to block the captain to get back in? yes, that is what the french a authorities have informed us about. and what did the captain try to do to get back in? is there a possibility of any way to get the door in. no, after 9/11, we have installed doors that are not to be broken by manual force or to be opened with small weapons, and so there was no way to get back into the cob pith for the captain in this case with the co-pilot not allowing that access. reporter: in the united states, for instance, if one of the crew members leaves the cob piths, there has to be someone who goes in a flight attendant or something, and why was the co-pilot allowed to be alone?
nothing like this. and so that is just something that it could be yes, lots por investigation. sgr but a number of the outlets are reporting this tonight, and it is information that is just coming n and in the beginning, you will get information that is not necessarily on target, and so they are not reporting that it is a suicide, but it could be a medical emergency in the cob pith, and we don t know. and i want to ask jim tilman, because we had the passionate debate about the cameras in the cockpit in m-370, and does it renew the debate? yes, in the minds of people, it will make a difference, but it won t make a difference in the outcome of the situation. from the pilot s point of view it is not just the inconvenience or intrusion, it is just unnecessary. so many things that are much more important that we need to spend money for.
