the national archives has called for an investigation into how and why the messages were wiped. it sent a letter to the secret service just a short time ago asking for a report within 30 days if it is determined any information wasn t properly deleted. the committee is gearing up for the next hearing. former white house press secretary sarah matthews and former deputy security adviser matthew pottinger will appear before the committee. both have already testified behind closed doors. this time they ll do it publicly. the committee has already played snippets of their taped interviews recalling the events that unfolded inside the white house on january 6th, particularly their reaction to donald trump s repeated attacks on his vice president as rioters were calling for mike pence s hanging. we all talked about at that point how it was bad and the situation was getting out of hand. we thought the president needed to tweet something and tweet something immediately. we all got a
try to recover. the problem in the lion air crash was that the computer misread information and the plane was, in fact, not stalling, kept trying to push the nose up, pilots kept trying to pull the nose up and event lip it crashed. now, there is a way to override that in the cockpit but it was not well trained or fully trained to the pilots. the most important thing is boeing did not want this plane to constitute a new model, all the bielts have to go back to training. so boeing pushed hard to get the faa to approve it without requiring it to be a new model, so the amount of training that pilots had was somewhere between minimal and none. just to be clear, others planes doesn t have the problem
iteration of that absolute workhorse of the commercial aviation industry. but in that new plane, something happened shortly after takeoff on that day in october. the pilots were reportedly basically wrestling with the plane, trying to get its nose up, but an automatic leveling feature in the plane seems to have been fighting them, pushing the nose down. the pilots on that flight requested permission to return to the airport because of the trouble they were having with that aircraft, but shortly after making that request, the plane went down, hit the ocean. 189 people killed. then this weekend on sunday, it was in ethiopia, same type of plane, the new 737 max 8. the new iteration of the boeing 737 jet. this time 157 people were killed. and the circumstances appear to have been remarkably similar. the investigation into the crash this weekend in ethiopia has only just begun. we don t yet know how closely it
in, of course, indonesia, then you might see many more countries moving to ground this plane. but we don t know that yet. we don t know if what brought down the plane in indonesia, which was a cascading series of issues, the computer that was faulty pushing the nose down while the pilots tried to pull the nose up, we don t know if that s what brought down the ethiopian plane. that is going to be a top priority as investigators begin looking at the black boxes. the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder. the minute they get any read on those black borxes, you can imagine airlines around the world want to know. is there something they need to be aware of and something they need to tell their pilots. that s another thing you look at when there is a crash. this is a pilot correct me if i m wrong, who had quite a few hours and ethiopia has a good track record. one of the good ones in
must be an awful, awful day to be outside there, made even worse for the people on that flight. i want to bring in chad myers now, our meteorologist. chad, we ve been talking about the weather today. we don t know why this md-80 skidded off the runway at laguardia. we do know the weather today has been awful and so many flights, more than 2,000 canceled today. the reason why the rear gear appears to be down is because the nose, john is into the berm and into the fence, so pushing the nose up, making it appear like the rear of the plane is down. the rear gear, the main gear is deployed, has deployed. as we re starting to get colder and colder, we re worried about this for roadways, thinking nothing about the airports itself. it has been raining all night. it was wet, it was 34. then it got to 32 and started to snow. now it s down to 24 and still snowing. all that snow, all that water,
