it might not be because problem they were may have been fight fighting this thing all the way into the water. we won t know until we get the black box. tracy: airbuses have fly by wire technology that the pilot can not override. airplanes by boeing have an override where the pilot can override the systems. we ll see what happened hopefully in the coming days. a lot more on 5801 8501 coming up. more breaking news. police under attack yet again as a domestic violence called turn deadly. a officer was shot several times at close range after calmly asking a suspect if he was armed. hundreds gathered at a candlelight vigil outside of the police department where officer stewart s father spoke about the tragedy. listen. you never think this will happen that you have to bury your boy.
technical experts for that plane talking through the emergency now, this occurred shortly after takeoff, from what we re understand and the telegraph is reporting that the issue is with the right wing landing gear. now, we have not been able to confirm that at this point but that does present a pretty dynamic issue if it s one landing gear on either side that s not coming down. that can create a pretty big challenge for a pilot as they re coming in to land. we have dr. alan diehl who s a former ntsb investigator who s with us. doctor can you talk a little bit about what you ve seen in the past in your experience with aircraft that have landing gear emergencies and how they re handled in this type of scenario? well, leah, you re absolutely right, it appears, the evidence is that this happened shortly after takeoff. so it s probably when the landing gears were being retracted. as i mentioned remember, there are four main landing gears plus

might have happened in the two minutes between where the pilot requests an increase in altitude and a change in flight plan and this thing just falling off the radar. it is you have a full lot of speculation in there. you could have a catastrophic failure, pressurization failure. you could have a man-caused issue like a device. you could have a stall. trace: aerodynamic stall mention admin ago. trace: right. you could have the tubes telling the pilots and computers wrong information which could lead to inappropriate actions on part of the pilots. trace: john, great insight as always. thank you sir. thank you for having me. leah: how the president s executive action on immigration could be endangering one of california s biggest industries. we ll look at the possible repercussions. trace: why this surfer is lucky to be alive after a terrifying attack. as a surfer i m a freak. i m in their element if my card
