although humans are humans and we can t necessarily read the surface stuff. but there s still a lot that we don t know here. that s putting it mildly. so it s hard to say. if i had to vote i d say it s probably at the bottom of the ocean. by the same token, nothing really is impossible at this point. jim, there have been pilots who have committed suicide but basically they ve turned the plane just nose down and just gone into the water gone into the ground. this is a plane, jim, that continued to fly, apparently. yeah. if he wants to commit suicide he doesn t have to fly halfway across the indian ocean to do that. he s got lots of opportunities prior to that to do it. and i have to tell you something. i don t underestimate a person who wants to take over an airplane in today s world. i mean, they re not necessarily dumb or stupid or not capable. could very well be very highly trained and very skilled. so i want to keep that door open because of what it means. my first question is,
airplane, was the intent to take off from that particular landing strip also. that would have to be selected quite carefully. john, what do you make of the idea of terrorism? whether a crash or some sort of landing? the landing isn t impossible but it certainly is a very, very low level of probability. i agree with that entirely. i m more concerned with the possibility of a rogue or wanna-be terrorist who might have taken over this airplane. we don t know if there was somebody riding in the cockpit. so far the profiles we ve had of both the pilot and the co-pilot do not indicate a high propensity for a murder-suicide, although humans are humans and we can t necessarily read the surface stuff. but there s still a lot that we don t know here. that s putting it mildly. so it s hard to say. if i had to vote i d say it s probably at the bottom of the ocean. by the same token, nothing really is impossible at this point. jim, there have been pilots who have committed suicide but basically
