sure, let s talk about that for a second. air bus, we have of the a 320, this is a work horse for air bus, there is 6500 of these built. and of those 20, losses. and a safe airplane. it was not built to have a long life. and so it was not meant to go in service past 20 years and i am speculating of the numbers. it was really not an airplane built to last a long time. unlike boeing. we have boeing aircraft that are flying and nearly 50 years old and boeing using aluminum and built their planes like a tank for a lack of a better word. air bus, they aren t designed to go past 25 years and so the age of the airplane does speak clearly and could add to again,
panic in the among the area where the passengers were. 320 is a real work horse. like the boeing 737. there are a lot of them up in the sky and they have been good planes. he gentlemen thank you both. thank you, greta. thank you. ted cruz the first republican candidate to make it official. is he running. will ohio governor john kasich be next? right now governor kasich is visiting new hampshire. he joins us from concord. good evening, governor. how are you greta? i m very well. governor, i have heard you speak a number of times. you often talk about the struggling middle class but the thing i always hear you talk about is the poor? you talk about the poor a lot, don t you? well, greta, first of all, you have to have economic growth because if you don t have economic growth and a stable economy you spend your time digging out. when you dig out and you have economic growth, it shouldn t be an end unto itself. then you can certainly reach out and help people who live in th
45 spanish passengers as well as the others who have perished aboard this crash. as you know most of the victims aboard the plane were from germany and we just heard katie talk about the 16 young people. and i think that people are starting to get a handle or trying to get a handle on the scope, the depth of this tragedy, thomas. it is just horrible to think that this trip for these bright young kids goes to terribly wrong. and we re still waiting for direct answers on why or how this could have happened. ann curry, thank you for reporting from paris for us. this isn t the first tragedy for the airbus a-320 and francis has more on this plane. this is a work horse of modern aviation. it is for flights that last from one to five hours. over all the a-320 has a good safety record with this.
eight minutes it went from 37,000 feet to 6,000 feet and there was no distress signal and they are focusing on and if the pilots knew there was something wrong with the aircraft and were unable to alert anyone to what had gone wrong or to tell them what had happened. app that is latest from us. reporting from london. thank you. the airbus a-320 is popular and there is a lot of them around the world and they end in smooth landings but there are room for error. frances has been looking at these. tell us about your reporting. the a-320 is the work horse of modern aviation with flights of duration times of 5 hours to
