Big question for the world tonight. Thanks for joining us. You can watch us any time, anywhere on cnn go. Have a good weekend. See you monday. Ac 360 begins right now. Good evening. We begin with more startling headlines from President Trump. In just a last four days, hes threatened north korea with fire and fury, said maybe that wasnt enough of a threat. Said American Forces are Locked And Loaded and late today he said even more. Appearing this morning outside his new jersey golf club, the president went before reporters.

Now, to give you an idea of how sparsely populated that is, the last census said theres only 17 residents living there. We now know theres dozens of investigators at that site. They would have left from here in order to get there. It is about a 10 minute ferry ride. The first as well as the data recorder. Ultimately, what evidence they could yield . We dont know. Of course, we do have a lot of conversation between air Traffic Control and the horizon employee. As for the pilot himself, obviously, he went through extensive needs means to get that.
