You because you both are professional pilots, you both are experienced, you both have been at the helm of these types of jet liners. we wanted to find out where you sit on some of these things. so colonel field, let s start with you. what is your take, that it was someone or something that doomed thisly if the? well, i haven t ruled out mechanical failure of some sort entirely but that s only about 10%. i think most of the evidence that we can we can believe right now, and there s a plethora of speculation out everywhere, is that this airplane was commandeered by the by the pilots and taken to some other destination, we don t know where, but some other destination. and you have said that your opinion is sort of altering every hour with new bits of information. i think all of cust join with you that sentiment. captain aben, let s talk to you ....
Them shifting the search zone. the australians are driving that certainly in their waters near the indian ocean, they are moving it more southwestsome this about coordinating data from what they heard about the thai radar exposure or how do we explain it? well, let s hope that s what it s hope they have been able to continue the smooth the data and get better data points. the first set of points was literally a fourth of the globe. now they have refined it, hopefully that it s that and we have still haven t been told exactly what was or what wasn t on the various data points and the computer information. perhaps they have found additional waypoints there. but apparently, there weren t any more on the plane. when you divide up an investigation, you luke at information and relevant facts. fair to say this 12-minute window, if accurate is a vel vant fact? without a doubt. without a doubting it s keeps leading you down the road of why did it happen and, of course, how does it lea ....
Concerned about the cargo, a compression event, explosion, they moved away from that you start hearing the additional suggestions of circumstances, like with this 12-minute delay, moving you away from accident and more toward this was intentional? well it is because before when we had the timeline, there wasn t time, it was boom, boom, boom, the system started going down and they made the turn, it could have been to an alternative airport, but here 1 minutes, particularly if you have a problem, 12 minutes is a pretty good chunk of time and you always want someone to know if you have a problem. even built into the paradigm of i have a yate, navigate, communicate, this window is big enough you could talk about it jeff beatty, how much stock do you put in the idea of this plane having landed somewhere, being intact? we know that u.s. authorities guiding the search into the indian ocean, that australia s coordinating the search, moving it into the southwest portion of australia seems t ....
You can go back and retrieve this flight and see how it flew, what flew, and look at it without your hands on the wheel and see what it is that you did before. that does get stored. like any other data on hard drive. jay, in terms of using a simulator, how often do people delete, why do they delete? is there a needle leet? there is no need to defeel leath it. the files are saved when you intentionally save them. so, if they had files that they want toddle leet, they would have saved those files first. if they were just in a casual flight, just for entertainment or for practice, that flight would never be saved and there would be no need to delete it because it would not exist. so what your sea sayi re sayg simulator no sifg flights do different route and practice how you want to practice, whatever you want, would you have to intentionally save something in the first place and then about how much storage space you have before you would delete ....
Waypoint would have been put in and not communicated? well, chris, there s sadly not a really good reason for that at all. you know, the problem is they put the way point in, they had multiple opportunities to indicate duress, through putting duress into a transponder code or even within aviation there s a way when you verbally communicate to people that you give a verbal duress call, so if someone had a gun on your head in the cockpit, cause they had got noon it, you would still be able to subtly inform your headquarters or any of the air traffic controllers that, in fact, you were under duress and that didn t happen all right. and this fact if it is a fact, and the coordinating additional information about turning off the transponder, which they believe may have been done manly, ate cars system being disabled, which is very difficult to do if it s not done intentionally that steers you toward pilots. however, and we have about discussing this earlier and jeff, you re on this, so ....
