now, i m giving you time cues because i want you to look at the graph. it shows how the ethiopia airlines flight followed the same erratic pattern to my eye as the lion air jet. okay. and we have bracketed the relevant time section, okay, because, yes, in the beginning it is different. you see an angle of ascent on the top graph that is different than the one on the bottom, but do you see in that same interval in there s a precipitous drop, okay. then you see a flagging pattern and we all know what happened after that. so this is what has alarmed investigators the most as they wait for data from the black boxes. i want to bring in cnn aviation analyst miles o brian. always a pleasure to see you. good to see you. a pleasure to have you on the new show. yes. keep that graph up. am i getting this wrong that those similar segments and drops are worth being worried about? absolutely. you have this entirely correct. you don t have to be a rocket scientist.
i want to bring in cnn aviation analyst miles o brian. always a pleasure to see you. good to see you. a pleasure to have you on the new show. yes. keep that graph up. am i getting this wrong that those similar segments and drops are worth being worried about? absolutely. you have this entirely correct. you don t have to be a rocket scientist. you don t have to be an aviation person, you don t have to be a pilot. you look at those graphs and you see something very similar is going on here. what you have is an aircraft fighting against its own crew, an aircraft that is programmed to correct the incorrect actions of the crew, but for whatever reason, because of bad data from a sensor or some faulty software, is doing the wrong thing, and the crew, you know, doing its best to pull back on that yoke, that wheel, 90 pounds of pressure to try to get to overcome it, trying to fight this thing. now, one thing you can do is
radio transmissions from the night and found nothing to suggest that. new information from the train s black box. evidence suggests that he manually pushed the throttle forward manually, that could have caused the deadly acceleration. let s discuss all of this with miles o brian, cnn s transportation analyst. david susy is also with us. david, i want to talk about this notion of a projectile hitting the train s windshield. there were reports that there were other trains in the area that were hit by some sort of projectile. is that even possible as a cause of this crash given what you know? i m not seeing a correlation between the two. the only possibility is that it was a distraction at the wrong time. he had time to think about this.
earlier is of a man who should not have been in the cockpit. the investigation and the inquiry and the error of the investigation must focus on how he ever got in the cockpit in the first place. miles, help us understand is there a self reporting regulation whereby he should have alerted somebody and is there only self reporting? because, obviously, that is not fool proof? that s the system as it stands. you get a psychological exam when you sign up as a pilot. but as you go through your routine medical exams every six months for a first class medical with a qualified medical examiner they ll ask you, how are you feeling? that s it. that s the extent of the psychological evaluation. the rft is left up to pilot-to-pilot interaction. they spends a lots of time together in a small room. over the years, that s a check
touching. thank you for telling us about that. let s talk about all of this with cnn aviation analyst miles o brian and ripped quest, the most requested man in business and dr. sanjay gupta, chief medical correspondent. i want to talk about you and i were talking about watching the report. you don t like the transcript of this exchange between the pilot and the co-pilot have been released. why? no because the transcript the cockpit voice recorder it s in the investigation and it s released at the end. it s always released. it s not as if this has got key information hidden away a transparency issue. we all knew what it said the prosecutors remarks last week told us every single fact. all we got was the release of the transcript was heart rendering details, which makes it much more unpleasant for the families. we done get a salient new fact. that s the important thing to
