boxes, is that surprising considering they know the area and where it is and they have recovered some debris and some bodies already? it s not surprising at all. this is still a massive area. very small compared to mh-17. however, we just learned that they increased the search area to 93,000 square miles. that is an awful lot of territory to cover. despite the fact they have scores of ships, scores of airplane an airplane is still the smallest thing in the sea. so it s going to take a little bit of time. let s talk about what the investigators are looking at so far as far as a cause here. what are you taking away from the fact that they are looking at this plane may have stalled and there s a morbid term you were speaking to relating to it. there s as phenomenon known as coffin corner.
as we look at the days now since sunday we can see some of this debris floating what is estimated by some up to 60 miles from wherever its original location was. we re now seeing debris at least from the last radar location that we had on record up to 60 120 miles, depending who you re talking to at the moment. what does that do to the difficulty of determining what happened to flight 8501? well, it does deepen the mystery a little bit, richard. we re sorting through it. two things could have happened. air traffic control radar reflected that at the last moments of the flight the air speed of the aircraft was approximately 103 knots. that does not really not compatible with sustained flight. what could have happened is the aircraft hit what s called coffin corner. at high altitude flight the safe flight speed or the
go through directly a thunderstorm. it s our understanding that the pilot the captain asked for a deviation in the flight route, asked to go higher. how stable is the plane at those altitudes, some 36,000 to 38,000 feet? well that s a great part of the question. but before i get to that answer and i ll get to it very quickly. let s not jump ahead of ourselves. the request for higher altitude may have been because they were experiencing choppy ride. it may not have been unbearable. we all want to make our ride comfortable for passengers. as far as going to a higher altitude my understanding of the a-320, about a 49,000 max service altitude. when you get up to the thin air, called coffin corner where the performance of the airplane is such that you are close to the max airspeed that the airplane can attain and very close to the lowest airspeed you can maintain
