authorities would like to see done. is it possible for someone who is not a trained crash investigator, will they be able to hide the evidence and know what to look for? it s more a question here of the possibility of tainting evidence. on the one hand, there s the technical oppone technical components to the investigation, but there s also a legal component. you want to do a grid search, photographing, logging everything, paper logging of everything. you have the concern of seeing tainting of evidence. pieces of evidence being removed. bodies being removed. it s going to be extremely difficult for any kind of clear resolution saying this is exactly what happened and this is the party responsible. the flight data recorders, a
there is no doubt in my mind, russian special operations forces who have been on the ground advising these guys first the past year trained these guys. as proof emerges that russian supplied missiles brought down mh17 over eastern ukraine the question remains did russian soldiers pull the trigger? you is to get a hold of the people who manned that battery and get them into a place where they can be interrogated at great lengths. marine pilot and crash investigator justin green, now an aviation attorney says at the very least russia trained the trigger men. if you found a system on the street this is not something you can get in and use. it requires special and specific training and the only place you find people who are able to train, operators are the military. now the russian military is probably the chief target to look for the trainers.
desperate search, because these flight data recorders only have batteries that last 30 days. might there be different thinking now that that really isn t enough time? look, that s a very good point, and after the tragic loss of air france 447 in 2009, the french crash investigator, the bea, they made several recommendations, and those recommendations were that black box data, some black box data should be streamed in real time back to the airlines base. they also suggested that black boxes be ejected on impact in an accident, that they should float, and that they should have a 90-day beacon on them as well. now if any one of those things had been adopted by the industry, we would have discovered this airplane quite some time ago. what i do know is happening now is that a number of industry bodies, international
terrorist bomb downed it over scotland. and then you have twa s flight 800 doomed by a fuel tank explosion. also was cobbled together at this hangar here in new york. so, if flight 370 does turn up, might we see another kind of reconstruction? for that, let s go to bill savage, former pilot and certified crash investigator. i know that you participated in several of these kinds of investigation, piecing planes back together. what s the value of doing that? the value is 100%, because by putting airplane back together, we can then look at the specific areas that each investigator has an expertise in to decide whether that area had some effect on the crash of the airplane, either a maintenance problem or an impact problem, a fire problem, or some system malfunction. we can go you know, we can backtrack that to make sure that it was either operating properly
the scenes that australia s going to take a much bigger role in the search for and recovery of mh 370. and it s highly likely that hey they will reach agreement with the malaysians that the debris, once we find it, the wreckage, if we recover it, will come ashore at fremantle which is the port here for the west coast and the airplane would be reassembled here as well. and i also believe that the transportation safety board, our crash investigator will actually take a major role in the investigation along with the ntsb and the british and the french as well as of course the malaysians, who will lead the crash investigation. we are working on borrowed time. that s how one member of the u.s. navy describes the search to find 370 in the indian ocean, the southern indian ocean. coming up, the two crucial pieces of equipment that could finally yield some answers. so our business can be on at&t s network for $175 a month?
