tinkering, any planning or practicing maneuvers, will be stored on a hard drive. so in other words, if he had preplanned this, if he had had wanted to actually try it, he could have loaded all that information into the simulator as if it were the real flight. yep, absolutely, he could have. and that s going to be important for investigators to look through now and see if there was any premeditation to this. the problem with a tool like that, it could be used by a pilot to practice, to hone their skills, or it could be used by anyone who might have aviation skills to plot something bad. yeah. james, do you think the malaysian authorities are really handling this investigation well? are they inviting the top experts around the world, including from the u.s. government, in as their full cooperation? james, that s for you. i m sorry. yes, wolf, english i think that people have to understand is do not confusion intention with
fighters go. and so we don t know this yet, wolf. basically, all theories are still on the table. but in the focus of human factor, one must look at if the plane is intact, most probably will be eventually for prisoner exchange. if it s not intact, then there is a lot of forensic work to do. stand with us, james. richard, martin. everyone stay put. we re going to talk more about the focus on these two pilots and anyone else on that plane who may have had experience in the cockpit. our panel standing by. much more coming up. and later this hour, the crisis in ukraine. president obama picks specific targets, individuals for sanctions. we re going to talk about that strategy with the former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., bill richardson. peace of mind is important when you re running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner,
to be shut down, there is still a report that comes over the satellite. and acars is believed to be that system. so in other words, it s like there s no information coming. but there s definitely a signal coming out. so that somehow perhaps they degraded, shut down certain reporting aspects, but didn t cut it off all together. but again, there is so much more we would really need to know in order to make that final judgment. all right. i want to come back to you guys. hold on for a moment. james bernazoni, terrorism expert, worked in the government. based on what we have learned so far, do you suspect credibly this was an actual terrorist act? i think the human factor is emerging. i think when you look at the human factor, there s three main investigative. the pilots acting on their own. an inside job. or a classic cockpit breach. if you are looking at the inside job, you look at everybody who touched that aircraft.
