Dealt out. they are about to make a mistake of the ages. in my view when he drew the red line in syria and did nothing about it the iranians are are not taking him serious and we started with dismantling their program as the goal. now we are locking in a program that can be broken out in a year. we have changed the goal. and arabs and israelis have one thing in common. they are not going to let the iranians have a nuclear advantage over them. the president is about to start a nuclear arms race in the middle east if he doesn t watch it. senator, thank you. thank you. straight ahead, a suspect under arrest for making death threats against u.s. ambassador caroline kennedy. that s not the only crime he is accused of. a live report from japan is next. could terrorists use the in-flight entertainment system to bring down your
Many as 20% of the commercial passenger jetliners already have the capability as did air france 447. matt, i would imagine you or other representatives of your company are having this kind of dialogue with airliners all the time as you try to propose, you need to have this material. what s the response you get from them as to why they say no? it s such new technology that they are that they re warming up to it. what we think the tipping point will be given that the number of incidents that we ve had and the benefit that the technology can provide not only in an emergency but also realtime data for the efficiencies in fuel and in maintenance, what will happen and we re very confident that this is going to happen is that some ceo of a major airline will decide that it may not be a revenue stream like an increased baggage fee or an in-flight entertainment system but passengers want this
To put it out and it would keep coming back. it was very very stubborn. and so that s why boeing reinvented the box on those planes. remember those planes are being used so they re drawing current, there was grounding issues, et cetera. so boeing redesigned the box. and the box is supposed to contain any kind of a battery fire. so it was very stubborn to put out. help me remember, what was the swissair flight where he went out to try to dump fuel over the ocean? that was the ife, in-flight entertainment system from new york to switzerland, to geneva. and that overheated. it caused a fire. it caused a fire which brought smoke into the cockpit. they knew about it. they tried to divert. they tried to get to canada. and they came quite close. but this was as a result of just sheer overwhelming of the smoke. and speaking of batteries, 16 days left or so of juice in the black box. does that intensify things for people?
Know that this was going terribly wrong? well, there is a smoke and fire detection and suppression systems in the cargo holds of these wide-bodied planes. however, we know about this. and what happens and how it reignites and how difficult it is to put out because of the boeing 787 fires in boston and in japan. and the firefighters themselves reported that they kept trying to put it out and it would keep coming back. it was very very stubborn. and so that s why boeing reinvented the box on those planes. remember those planes are being used so they re drawing current, there was grounding issues, et cetera. so boeing redesigned the box. and the box is supposed to contain any kind of a battery fire. so it was very stubborn to put out. help me remember, what was the swissair flight where he went out to try to dump fuel over the ocean? that was the ife, in-flight entertainment system from new york to switzerland, to geneva.
And if they didn t collectively, what does that tell us about what may have happened to them in the cabin? well, let s talk about what we know factually at this point. air mobile which provided a cell system for one of malaysian s 777s said this particular aircraft was not fitted with such a system the certainly at altitude there would have been no ability for passengers to see either where they were or send a message. and in addition to the type of controls that a pilot has, one that they have access to right above their heads is one that provides power to the in-flight entertainment system. that in-flight entertainment system provides a moving map in a lot of cases on the 777, and also the 777s on malaysia early on, i can t say that i know if this particular 777 still had an air phone system, but if the seat had been disabled as far as the power going to it they
