Newsroom continues now with ashleigh banfield. Hi, everybody. Nice to have you with me. Im ashleigh banfield. They have met, they have talked, and they have prayed a lot. And tomorrow they are going to vote, or at least they are going to meet for the purpose of voting, which means tomorrow, theoretically, the 115cardinal electors of the Roman Catholic church could give the world a brand new pope.

Training down at this part of the panhandle of florida is a routine location for special opes units, so the profile of the mission, the type of mission that was taking place, this is, this is what happens all the time down there. And so a tragedy like this clearly attributable to some factor that might have been weather at this time of year. Clearly we cant jump to any conclusions, but youre correct.
