within about 100 meters of the aircraft and detonate and spray out shrapnel all over the side of the aircraft. if they can find out what that was, they can match that to the type of war head explosive. what you re talking about is a war head that explodes, sends out sharapnel and disanables th aircraft, rips it apart and we re seeing large pieces of the aircraft. it s not something that completely disintegrated. the war head explodes in the proximity and shoots out all this shrapnel and that s why you re seeing the aircraft breaking up but not necessarily exploding. lieutenant colonel, good to have you on. go to jim and phil were mentioning, we got new information from a senior obama administration official who tells us they do in fact believe they transferred, the weapon was transferred into eastern ukraine from russia in recent days or
speaking to here say it s not their job to collect these bodies, if not them, then who? at the moment it certainly does not look like the rebels, which control this area, are about to invite in other authorities, officials, workers and organizations from the rest of ukraine to come in here and do this more effectively in the sort of way you would normally expect to see at a catastrophe of this scale. we learned it was yesterday or last night that we learned that three of those on board were infants. today we also learned that among the 298 people who died, 80 of them were children. 80 children lying in that field right now. phil is going to stay with us. i want to bring in our aviation correspondent richard quest and david gallo and miles o bryan. richard, in terms of the investigation, in terms of,
researchers and doctors and activists on board this plane and what it means. stay with us for another live hour of 360 and we ll get the latest on the downing of mh 17 from phil black on the ground at the crash site when we come back. i make a lot of purchases for my business.
cell phone cameras taking pictures and walking through fields but personal safety of everyone there. phil as close as he is to that. for us to prepare as an accident investigator, it takes a year to get proper vaccinations. phil, i mean, you talked a little bit who is on charge on the ground. are there different prorussian groups in charge of different areas? because we know this is really, let s call it what it is, it s a crime scene, there are multiple. are there different groups in charge of different crime scenes. yeah, there are. indeed. so the group that we ve been experiencing here, anderson, had been reasonably welcoming, supportive of our presence as have others we met tonight but you heard the osce s response they received from another group, which was very hostile. they even fired their guns in the air acting in an intimidating way towards them
radar systems that have to be run. this is a sophisticated system. we re watching one unit. 1/4th of the system. that s the key part, launcher and radar. we re not seeing the acquisition radar, which leads me to believe that when they turned this on, they had a limited ray car capability and they probably had trouble identifying that target as a civilian airliner. phil, from an intelligence perspective, what can you add to the investigation by tracking this weapon, if in fact, ukraine ministry put on the facebook page, the video of the weapon being brought back to russia. if the weapon itself crosses over into russia and disappears, is that kind of game over in terms of determining the trajectory of this, more about it? it s not even close to game over. first, there is the proattack stuff, prestrike stuff you ll look at. volumes of imagery inteam jns
