thank you. i want to bring in our panel of experts, robert mark is a fox news consultant. and we have an expert on the boeing triple 7. and john lucic is a licensed pilot and a former new jersey state criminal investigator. rob, let me start with you. do you believe this jet is in the end ocean? well, i think i believe the senior vp from inmarsat more than anything i believe that comes from the malaysian government. i think perhaps if the malaysian government said we have been in contact with inmarsat. we are satisfied with the results of the testing they have run, and now we believe that perhaps the airplane is lost. perhaps i would have believed them. but my gut is that we re not going to find this airplane in one piece. okay. so here is the question. let me bring this one john. where is the wreckage? where was the distress call? and where is the elt? right, the emergency locating
