Thank you for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now. Make sure you check out fox news sunday. Homeland security secretary and dont miss trump, the disrupter. This is a fox news alert. There are new clues about what may have brought down egyptair flight 804. Right now flight data shows a fire may are v. Broken out on the airbus 320 but why the fire . Tonight, there remain more questions than answers. On the record Live Team Coverage across the globe. Were in paris, athens, and cairo. Plus, Catherine Herridge is here with the intel angle. And forensic pathologist dr. Michael baden is here as the search turns up body parts. Those body parts could contain important clues. Fox and Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot is live in paris. Greg . Greta, in the past couple of hours, we have gotten important new information about the harrowing last
minutes of egyptair flight 804. According to aviation website, backed up by our own aviation expert, smoke alarms went off in the forward bathroom and the avionics compartment of the plane just before the crash. This, according to a satellite monitoring system. Our source says that this affected the computers and the controls on the plane and that could have led to these spiral death dive of the aircraft. Possible sign of a critical maam function or simply a plane system recoiling from a terror attack. This as the air and sea for debris from the plane continues in the mediterranean where it went down. Plane parts, personal belongings and even human remains were found some 200 miles off of the egyptian coast. As more information emerges about who was on the plane, the pilot of the aircraft identified as 36yearold
mohammed syed shkar his copilot, both said to have passed periodic security tests run by the airline. Here at charles degal International Airport paris from where the doomed egypt airplane left the terrorist operation still a possibility and that has sparked security tightening across the board at this airport according to french officials. Remember, staffers with islamist leanings already had their movements limited here on the site. Finally in cairo, where many families of the victims are or had troubled to, prayers today on this muslim holliday for those who lost their lives, for those who are just beginning to be recovered for whatever reason. Back to you, greta. Greg, two quick questions. Do you know how much time that plane was on the ground at charles degal airport . Thats the first thing. And the second thing is i remember a while back there were reports about questionable security among workers at charles degall, do you know anything about that . A short time on the ground here, greta, probably not much more than an hour or so, thats the average turn around of some of these planes and that according to experts is one reason why there was such a rush and it could lead for i will play, possible terror tampering with the plane. Thats a big concern. And, yes, you are right there. Were Something Like 84 passes, red passes that the workers here at this airport complex get, were taken away from workers because of those islamist leanings. That was back in december of last year. Greta, an important thing to note about those passes, have you them for three years. Three years, a lot of things can change in a persons mind. A lot of people can go in the wrong direction. So, that is being looked at, too, greta. Greg, thank you. The Egyptian Navy has now found debris from the doomed egyptair flight. Grn reporter is in cairo with what investigators are saying tonight. What are they saying there . So basically the news coming in from cairo is that Egyptian Military and navy forces have found some information from the plane indicating that there was smoke in the aircraft right before the crash. Egyptian minister in a statement said that it was too soon to know exactly what could have caused the smoke and if terrorism was involved in any way. Egyptian authorities throughout this crisis asked not to speculate or jump to any conclusions until this investigation is over. This comes among statements made by egyptian foreign minister claimed this could have been a Suicide Attempt by the pilot. Also, coming in now the egyptian authorities have been retrieving body parts of the victims and identify
the victims but Egyptian State tv indicated they are in the process of sending the body parts to cairo to be looked at and to try to identify the victims and maybe find more clues. The families of those involved in the plane crash have been camped out at cairo airport awaiting for further news and instruction. People are at the airport waiting in hopes of getting their loved ones back for burial. The scene there has been described as very, very sad and emotional. The families gathered together waiting for more answers. Obviously, this is very grim news for egypt who has been involved in a series of unfortunate events this year. These events will no doubt will have a very negative effect on its already struggling tourism and economic sector. Is there any information tonight about the maintenance history on this aircraft . I know it had been in service for several days. Is there any history of whether it had any problems with it prior to this four day trip . So basically we know that the aircraft has been to multiple countries before going or flying back to paris. But its unclear when the plane was last minute tand or when there was a last official checkup. The plane has been operating for the past 13 years but there has been no official information from either egyptair, the operating company or the egyptian officials on whether this could have been, you know, could have been because of a malfunction due to low maintenance or a problem in that regard. Amina, thank you. Greek investigators are also frantically helping in this massive search. Greek public tv anchor is in athens. Good evening, sir. Can you tell me what the latest is there . Hello, greta. It has been confirmed by greek authorities that passengers, belongings, luggage, aircraft seats were found about 108 miles north
of alexandria in egypt. Authorities say weather conditions could have scattered. The search area has been expand to do 40mile radius. France, United States, cypress take part for whats left of flight 804. Waters halfway between the island of crete and egyptian coast. In this part the water is very, very deep about 8,000 to 10,000 feet. So that makes it very, very difficult, you understand. There is still no sign of wreckage or the black boxes or flight recorders. This is something that theyre looking they are looking for. Yeah . The air Traffic Controllers that plane went through greek airspace. Did they notice anything unusual or hear anything unusual or did the pilots say anything to them at all that is at all tonight in
hindsight suspicious . No. No. Everything was fine until the airplane was lost from the radar. They were speaking with greek, everything was fine. After two minutes when they entered the egyptian fyr and the signal was lost, thats what changed everything. There was no sign that something went wrong. Now, its very important for me to say being a reporter here in greece that just moments before the aircraft vanished there was smoke in one of the bathrooms. This seems to be the top story now on what is going on in the search for the airplane. You can confirm or not where that bathroom is on a 320. Is in the rear or both . Where is the bathroom where the smoke was . Im not sure. I think its in the rear. As far as i read and what the story is all about, i think its in the rear but i cannot confirm that im not sure about that. All right. Well check into it and see if we can figure it out. Nikos thank you very much. Youre welcome. Frightening question to remain what caused the plane to swerve so wildly in the final moments . Whats on everyones mind was this a terrorist attack . Catherine herridge has been working intel angle. Catherine, what your intelligence sources telling you . Look, this evening what i was told is finding the black box is really more important than ever with this new data about the smoke on board the aircraft because the black box is going to allow investigators to knit together these different pieces of data. So you have smoke on the aircraft. You have the very erratic flight pattern in the final moments of flight 804 before it disappeared. And then you have this satellite infrared imagery that did not detect an explosion if all of these things sync up it would point to mechanical or electrical
failure on the aircraft. Information i have from pilots if smoke comes in aircraft the pilots are immediately incapacitated. Total loss of control of the situation. Unless they have a system on board that they can emergency system that they may not have had on board. But, the question is why the smoke . Was the smoke terrorism or is the smoke mechanical problem . And it makes a big difference if there are two spots. Lets say there is a rear bathroom and a front bathroom, that would be very suspicious. There is also a very there is sort of a renewed focus on two issues tonight. One is the stops flight 804 made before it reached paris. It was in north africa and also east africa where there have been opportunity to smuggle a small device on board. And there is also an effort to do a deep dive on these pilots. Egyptians say they passed all the security checks but u. S. Government officials are doing their own review of their social media profiles and accounts to see what their state of mind was
before that flight and then to also understand their network of contacts and whether there were any extremist ties. Of course lots has been going on in paris. Catherine, thank you. Youre welcome. Investigators saying they have found body parts. Those body parts could have clues forensic pathologist dr. Michael baden goes on the record. Hi. As grew some as this is, finding the body parts has some clues, does it not . Well, first, of course it has d. N. A. And families are waiting to learn about the fate of their loved ones. Thats what theyre interested in right now is identifying their loved ones. But it also contains, in the case of smoke, skin turns pink. You can look at a person who died of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, for example, and see a pink color to the skin and the laboratory, the Toxicology Laboratory in cairo or wherever can test for Carbon Monoxide in
the any body part or in the blood and know right away whether there was any smoke inhaled by the tee see decedent. Which, of course, would tell us how the person died but wouldnt tell us necessarily what the cause of the smoke was, whether it was some mechanical or systems problem or whether it was terrorist. Am i right or not . Not necessarily tell if the person inhaled the smoke. You have to inhale a lot of it in order to die. So, it can be a cause of death but it could also just be evidence of smoke in the atmosphere that whoever is near the smoke can inhale and be easily identified. Greta, also, if there were a bomb on board, for example, the shrapnel that created will go into various parts of the body, especially if somebody is carrying it on themselves, to all people who are around him. We have had cases in the
distant past where bombs on board have blown up and one can identify which seat the person was in who carried the bomb. It just seems to me and obviously i dont know but if a plane has a problem at 35,000 feet, whatever the problem is, the chances of finding body parts that there might be shrapnel in would seem rather remote and especially in such a large debris field and with water constantly moving. There is a plane over italy some years ago, about 20 years ago, a bomb went off under the seat of an individual in italy, blew up, who was put there by the previous occupant of the seat. And the passenger was ejected from the plane. It didnt cause the plane to collapse, and they found shrapnel from the bomb 25,000 feet below when they did the autopsy. Is there any way, i guess its almost a silly question how fast someone is
incapacitated you are in a cockpit and all of a sudden the smoke is pouring. In you are going to be disoriented and incapacitated quickly but not immediately it doesnt cause immediate loss of consciousness. We are breathing in smoke. It takes many breaths before one becomes incapacitated if one realizes that there is smoke. If there is Carbon Monoxide without the soot and all, then a person might not appreciate that he or she was breathing in Carbon Monoxide because it doesnt hurt or cause any symptoms. And i guess thats what i came back to what Catherine Herridge has said the importance of finding that black box to find out any clues or conversation going on in cockpit in final seconds. She is right on target. The speech would be affected by the Carbon Monoxide. Because usually if you have enough time, if you have engine failure you have enough time to sort of notify somebody were losing an engine or something. Unless everything was
went silent at the same time, which you know, and ordinary fire shouldnt do. It depends where it is. Dr. Baden, thank you, sir. Thank you, greta. The egyptair crash and the tear possibility causing fear around the globe here the t. S. A. Has come under fire. Hours long line and gutted staffs are dogging the agency. Matt is live in chicago. Whats going on there . Good evening, greta. Today the tsa administrator made a special trip here to chicago where he took the blame for the meltdown that we have seen in americas airports. And now the tsa is rushing in almost 800 additional screeners nationwide and additional canine units here to chicago we have been covering the story all week. Some of these lines are two hours long. Brings to fear airplane terror attacks. Can it happen here especially since terrorists are using new techniques and explosives. The head of the tsa says
theyre actively screening for new types of bombs. We focus specifically on the types of devices that have both been talked about in the news as well as those things that we see coming. The Terror Threat aside the tsa warned its going to be a challenging summer as the tsa tries to fix staffing problems. The agency is encouraging people to sign up for security option that gets you through security faster. Encouraging people to get to americas major airports two to three hours before your flight, greta. Matt, i heard Harris Faulkner our colleague today make reference the fact that in belgium that terrorist blew up outside security. Is there additional security before you get into the airport or what are they doing, you know, to check that there is a lot of concentration what goes through security or after but what about before as you are standing in those long lines . You know, thats true. After that initial attack we came to this exact airport,
greta, and we worked with security here. And they said, of course, it is possible that a terror attack can happen anywhere. They said dont be worried because there is security covering every inch and surveillance covering just about every inch of every airport nationwide including these public areas where we are standing now. So they encourage us that they do have safety and security measures in place even before you hit that tsa security line. Thank you. Developing right now shooting at white house gate. A man carrying a pistol refusing to drop it shot by a secret service agent. Witnesses saying the suspect approached officers with a gun in hand and after multiple attempts to get him to drop the gun, the suspect was shot in the abdomen. The suspect is now in the hospital. The incident causing a lockdown at the white house. President obama was not there at the time and Vice President biden was secure inside the white house complex. And egyptair crash invest desperately trying to figure out what happened or didnt happen inside that cockpit of flight 804. Flown that route is here next. Surprise endorsement from the nra. How did donald trump get nra support . You will hear from trumpd, you will hear from trumpd, coming up. Natural cheese slice, you always get 100 percent real. Sargento. Were real cheese people. Once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my wife. What were building together. And could this happen again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . I spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. But eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. We are now learning that egyptair flight data shows smoke alerts. Those coming just minutes before the deadly crash. What could the information mean . Former airbus who has flown the same rout goes on the record. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. Its nice being here. Nice to have you. Let me start with a very openended question. What do you think . Well, this new information about the system picking up the smoke and
then there was also some information as to copilot had a window overheat and that blue room or the restroom in the back of the right behind the cockpit also had a smoke alarm going off, that being said, you know, the electronics compartment is right below the cockpit, which is right below that bathroom and if there were a fire, the a 320 is an electric airplane. And if it went down to that compartment, not only would the smoke come up through the floor and inhibit the pilots from seeing depending on the dependence city of density of the smoke, they would get their masks on immediately. That may be why there was no communication taking
