we put members first. join the nation. nationwide is on your side we re back. i m here with three captains who are flying or have flown for major u.s. airline. latane campbell, karen pellicone and ross aimer. you mentioned shadowing another
world. only one fatality in the past and that basically had nothing to do with the aircraft. so obviously as anything is possible, i don t know if this was obviously catastrophic failure of the aircraft, itself, or perhaps an explosion. and, you know, the argument about this altitude change, without the transponder, you can see the airplane, but you can t tell what the altitude is. so unless if they have some other military radar, highly sophisticated one that could tell the altitude from just the primary signature of the aircraft, i don t know how they re getting these altitude reportings. right. there s been some notes of caution that those altitude reporting might be out of lack. latane, you mentioned a theory
there s no one that understands exactly how difficult that would be than the people who fly these sorts of planes. joining me now, latane campbell. 14 years of experience flying international. captain karen pellicone. pilot for another major u.s. commercial airline and ross amer. he spent five years flying the boeg 77boeing 777. now ceo of aero consulting. ross let me start with you. in the dark, with no ground control and presumably, it appears, certain automatic functions of the plane turned off, could you get this thing to ground in any way? or is that just an impossible task? no, chris. it s a simple thing for a pilot of that caliber that gets to fly a 777. that aircraft has onboard equipment that could be used to find your way basically anywhere around the world by itself. so you do think that even
so unless if they have some other military radar, highly sophisticated one that could tell the altitude from just the primary signature of the aircraft, i don t know how they re getting these at constitute reportings. right. there s been some notes of caution that those altitude reporting might be out of lack. latane, you mentioned a theory that was shooting around today. this shadow theory. talk about that. explain, again, that plausibility, right after we take this break. ally, we re thrn a $1,000 fuel reward card. we ve never done that. ally, we re thrn that s why there s never been a better time to buy a passat tdi clean diesel. husband: so it s like two deals in one? avo: during the salesperson #2: first ever exactly. volkswagen tdi clean diesel event, get a great deal on a passat tdi, that gets up to 795 highway miles per tank. and get a $1000 dollar fuel reward card. it s like two deals in one. hurry in and get a $1,000 fuel reward card and 0.9% apr for 60 months on tdi models
the plane landed somewhere. those people somewhere someway are walking the earth, they re somewhere. for that to be the case, something miraculous and improbable and bizarre would have had to have happened but a lot of improbable and bizarre things have happened in the ten days since this flight disapp r disappeared. until still, the reality is this. the jetliner was flying in the dark. it could have had to find a way to land without getting word out despite its massive size and worldwide effort to locate it. there s no one that understands exactly how difficult that would be and the people who fly these sorts of planes. joining me now, latane campbell. 14 years of experience flying international. captain karen pelacore. retired united airlines pilot ross amer. spent five years supplying the 777. now ceo of aero consulting.
