displayed. it has you confirm that you read t it says, yeah, i read this, i know that. so it s shifted the responsibility now over to the pilots and the dispatchers. so we re going to continue to see delays because they re going to now have to check every airport, every route 25 miles both left and right on that route to see if there s anything that might affect that flight. so there s going to be continued delays. so, david, early on this morning as we were watching this, we saw that we ve heard from passengers in london sitting on the tarmac for three hours but we know of flights taking off from europe. my mom is in the air right now, she took off from new haven just before 7:00 this morning, no notice in the airport, in notice on the planes. so pilots can fly without this information. what does that mean, though, when they are in the air? who is communicating with them? is it just the air traffic control towers? yeah, your mom is safe, first of all, let s say that because when
they have wide discretion. i m somewhat concerned that if that was going to be done one would think that it would probably to be done already as opposed to sending this forward the article 32 hearing which usually telegraphs the case may be heading towards a court martial process. course there s the possibility of plea bargaining like in a civil criminal justice system. david you read the statement that bowe bergdahl wrote. it s horrific to read what he went through. he was held for five years. you were held under different circumstances by the taliban for seven months. what was your reaction when you read what he went through was. harrowing, horrific, same reaction you had. it s credible to me. he talks about trying to escape repeatedly, roughly a dozen times. he actually got away twice. in one case he was captured very quickly within ten, 15 minutes. a second case and we heard this from the taliban. he was free for nine days.
switch be recording, would changes to that switch be recorded. that s an interesting question. on the later aircraft i m sure that the answer is yes. this is an early aircraft that s obviously been retrofitted to meet the new standards after 9/11. after 9/11 there was extensive research done and new protocols developed on how to protect the cockpit, how pilots were to respond to a potential hijacking. i can t say way surance that in an older aircraft like this that these procedures, that these positions would be reflected in the data recorder. i m not sure. do you have any idea what the standard procedure would be on this if one pilot left the cockpit? well, i don t know. i think david could probably speak more authoritatively on that. david? what do you make of that? first i want to point out all the airbus 320 captains out
he was wandering around, didn t know where he was. he said he was so weak he eventually sort of collapsed and was recaptured. it s tragic that he was out for nine days yet could not find his way to safety. i know, david, you communicated with the family. did they expect these charges? they did not. they don t want to comment at this point. they are worried about the military judicial process but they had no warning at all about what would happen. there s one interesting nugget in the document. the big question which is why did bowe bergdahl leave his base. i obviously asked him that as well and he refused to answer that in our interview. that s the real thing. his fellow soldiers wants to know. the public want to know why did he do this. he has to be held accountable. there was a reference he was allowed into the army with a waiver. that hasn t come out publicly and friends of bowe bergdahl
and was unable to get back in. at the time was quoting the official an investigator saying quote the guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there s no answer. and then he hits the door stronger and no answer. there is never an answer. you can hear he is trying to smash the door down. again the new york times reporting, lufthansa is not commenting on it. we haven t been able to verify the times reporting. joining us is david sucy, richard quest and dr. sanjay gupta. there s two main ideas behind this if the new york times report cigarette correct, according to what this investigator said based on the flight voice recorder that there s something nefarious the pilot wanting to bring the plane down or some sort of medical emergency. does the medical explanation make sense to you if there was a
