flames. everyone on board died. ntsb and faa are investigating this crash. i m joined by cnn s safety analyst and former faa safety inspector david sousy on the phone. what can you tell us about this airport? it s used as a hub for several charter operations and airlines. it s unclear if this is one of those operations or not at this point. so now this investigation begins. take us inside what investigators will be looking at. first thing they ll be doing, of course, is identifying who was on board the aircraft and taking care of those families and notifications. that will be step one. of course, the on-site people have been handling putting the fire out. fortunately, there was no one in the hanger that they ran into. it was empty at the time. we don t know if there were other aircraft that were damaged or not but that fire looks pretty significant. i m sure if there was anything
legal problems with our experts paul callan and hln legal analyst joey jackson. paul, what do you think hearing what david had to say and you look t add the evidence that has been made public in this case. did palmer break any laws? well, i think it will be a hard case to make. in order to come up with a case against him you have to prove that he essentially bribed somebody to lure the lion off of a national park and he knew this was going on. i think it s a hard case to prove in the united states. in zimbabwe, maybe not. which is point number two. he will be extradited to zimbabwe? i would be stunned if he were. now we have an extradition treaty with zimbabwe but robert mugabe, the head of zimbabwe, is considered to be one of the biggest tyrants in africa. their criminal justice system has been criticized for human rights violations. does somebody think we ll extradite an american citizen to zimbabwe for trial?
this is an air nautical institute. that suitcase will be brought to a lab outside of paris and there, again, it s unclear when results are going to be coming forward. it s also unclear whether or not there s going to be a preliminary report that could give answers fairly quickly. fred pleitgen, thank you for the answers. time now to start with aviation correspondent richard quest in new york, from denver cnn safety analyst and former faa crash investigator david sousy and lawrence kobilinsky, from the john jay college of criminal justice. what do you expect to learn from this lab in toulouse once they get the piece of the airplane. the first and crucial fact will be the confirmation that it is mh-370. we may be certain but until these people say yes, absolutely, we can prove it, then it s not there s no total certainty. so that s the first crucial
protected national park and u.s. officials want to find walter palmer, too. but no one seems to know where he is right now. zimbabwe s environmental minister announced the african country has started the extradition proceedings against palmer and hopes the u.s. will cooperate. unfortunately, it was too late the apprehend the foreign poacher as he had already absconded to her country of origin. we are therefore appealing to the responsible authorities for his extradition to zimbabwe so that he be made accountable for his illegal actions. and let s go live to johannesburg and bring in cnn s david mckenzie who is following this story very closely. david, do we know exactly what zimbabwe is saying about how palmer broke the law. what did they say he did that was illegal?
piece of information. they re after anything, randi, anything at all that they can say about how this piece came off the aircraft. where it came off the snarkt was it in flight? was in the the water? what damage it sustained. is the damage consistent with what sort of attack upon the aircraft? those are the sort of pieces of information but i warn you they will probably be very scant. fred alluded to that. it s not going to be such as we found this and it therefore tells us that. i don t see that as being the ultimate goal here. it s going to be a very small piece in an extremely large jigsaw. and david i m sure you have scenarios.ough the different under what circumstances do you think that this flap might have come off that wing and why? first of all, i m glad it s going that laboratory in toulouse.
