procedure for rapid depressurization, not knowing the pilots may be incapacitated up front. if they kept the same rate, that may be a good explanation of what happened. we ll probably hear something about the contents of the voice recorder tomorrow. that should tell us a lot, shouldn t it? it will tell us a lot more than we know at the moment. what will be key is when we find the flight data recorder and then we cross refer what we hear on the cbr versus what the fdr is telling us. let s say there was an engine failure. you ll hear alarms going off in the cockpit. you ll get rpm rundowns. the fdr will tell you all that. the cvr will tell you the inter cockpit communication going on. if that doesn t refer or doesn t align to what the fdr is telling
the flight attendants are probably going through a procedure for rapid depressurization, not knowing the pilots may be incapacitated up front. if they kept the same rate that may be a good explanation of what happened. we ll probably hear something about the contents of the voice recorder tomorrow. that should tell us a lot, shouldn t it? it will tell us a lot more than we know at the moment. what will be key is when we find the flight data recorder and then we cross refer what we hear on the cbr versus what the fdr is telling us. let s say there was an engine failure. you ll hear alarms going off in the cockpit. you ll get rpm rundowns. the fdr will tell you all that. the cvr will tell you the intercockpit communication going on. if that doesn t refer or doesn t
should take that back, i heard one where they say they might have been concerned about the temperature of the water, but then he was told that other boats would be there within ten minutes, and so hypothermia probably wouldn t have taken them in ten minutes, so there just isn t any excuse not to have launched those life boats and gotten the people in it. it s just a tragedy on top of tragedy. it is. i have questions now. karlene i want to get to first, someone sent this question. this is from sara. we ve already heard the transmission of the distress call from south korean ferry and nothing from mh370 six weeks later. why? i think that s true. sara is referring to audio between the air traffic control and cockpit. is that a fair point? yeah, there wouldn t be a distress call from the cockpit. if there was nothing wrong with the airplane. if they had an emergency where they had a fire, rapid
if there was nothing wrong with the airplane. if they had an emergency where they had a fire, rapid depressurization, they would have declared an emergency. it appears we re getting information, my point is, we re getting information much more quickly with the ferry. it s been six weeks for the airplane and about a week for the ferry. we see the ferry, we know what happened to it. we don t know what happened to the aircraft, and the search was retained in one area for directly underneath where it initially went missing for four days. they never even expanded that search. i think there was the problem with the suspect that it blew up and they were looking for debris for four days right underneath where the transponder got turned off. right, right. jeff, you know, the family in the earlier block, just before this, they continue to raise questions whether searchers are looking in the right place. where else would they look if they do broaden out the search area?
could there be a mechanical reason of the route we shown the audience on that map, why that route was taken? i think going down in altitude and turning around and heading back toward land, that would talk to a problem with the aircraft. rapid depressurization or an in-flight fire. they needed to lose 25,000 feet of altitude so the passengers can breathe just with ambient air at that altitude. you want to perhaps turn the airplane around to the airport to accommodate that plane and land as equickly as possible. at some point, you would expect a mayday call to have been sounded, no? that s an excellent point. you would want a mayday to
