been down there. i have. there s a lot of equipment down there. alex, the new theory that this plane was flying below 5,000 feet, testing that notion, does it sound like something that s plausible? what would it take to fly it below 5,000 feet? it s plausible and doable. it s fairly straight forward to fly at that level. that s not going to mask your radar profile. you ll still be picked up on radar, especially military radar. perhaps lower than that, you ll still be printing a lovely primary radar present. let me stay with you, alastair. and if the authorities thought it was below 5,000 feet, wouldn t it have to adjust their
assistance from would cooperate. are they willing to give that kind of information that malaysia is willing to offer, will they be as forthcoming, are you willing to risk your national security secrets, how far your radar can read. that s a big issue. and we heard the new york times reporting that there s frustration on the u.s. side that malaysian officials aren t accepting as much or more extensive help they re offering from the u.s. side. we can see not only are they searching for answers but there s a lot of push and pull on who is in church p charge and there are now 26 countries involved in the search. the prime minister was asked this in a press conference about ten minutes ago, why have we not brought in fbi and he said we did so from day one. that they were looped in? yeah. a lot more questions. we keep talking about it.
transponder is off, immediately communicate to the plane. we don t know that happened here. it makes more sense when the pilot said good night he had working coms. that s very possible. if you re going to do something like a 9/11 style hijacking that s the point you would do it. you already said good-bye. it s several minutes before they start looking four. one of the things that disturbs me about this case, when this thing went missing in the first hour they should have reached for this downloaded data service and asked them to turn it on. there s a lot of missed opportunities early on maybe because i don t believe other countries may not be as organized and resourceful as united states. take a half step back. what data downloading service that they don t have? the a-card system reports back. we saw this in air france out of
russia s actions dangerous, destabilizing, saying gone are the days when the international community will stand quietly by when one forces seize the airtory of another. and the european so far which has avoided imposing sanctions is expected today to agree on them. chris? there s a lot of news to give you. thanks so much. scary moments for passengers on a delta flight when a wing came off in air. the play was able to land safely. no one was hurt. this comes after a sun wings
tartars remain, will we see a mass exodus. fait accompli is starting now. what does this all mean? you know, it s up to putin to make these ultimate decisions. i want to take a left turn. you as we have been focusing on was going on with this search, the desperate search for malaysian flight 370, i want to talk to you about your take. there s been a lot of criticism of the malaysian government, of their handling of the investigation, a lot of countries have said hey we re willing to help, they are sort of rebuffing those offers. what do you make of that? is this a pride thing? is this a cultural thing? what s your sense? reporter: well, unfortunately, in a lot of these
