and rest of the allies as well when they started building up their forces and they ve built them up well before christmas when pulling 30,000, 40,000, 60,000, 70,000. look putin does not bluff when he said he was coming to ukraine, he s going to go into ukraine. and we should have been building up armorments back then we waited part of the reason we said is because we believed if we did it was going to be and six weeks it would have been an example an trained up pilots that are current pilots in the ukrainian air force on things like a-10 and transfer weapon systems to ukraine. it doesn t take a year to train a new pilot you re taking a pilot put him on new platform or giving more ammunition doing something we just earlier on, we delayed it is a fault. he s absolutely correct. i wish we had done that and now we have to go forward where we re at and see where we re going to. lawrence: i have to run but if
also uses the rudder. it moves the plane from side to side. the rudder is operated by operating two foot pedals on the floor of the flight deck forward or back. it was his reaction and the overuse of the rudder during this encounter that generated forces that were large enough to actually snap the fin, the vertical fin off. msnbc aviation analyst john cox is satisfied with the findings, but the report is controversial. aviation safety consultant greg fife believes that a closer examination is necessary. it s easy to say the pilot put too much. the question is why. that question to this day still hasn t been answered. the ntsb in its public hearing actually identified 11 events that had taken place involving these high loads where the vertical stabilizers, fortunately, did not separate. now you have a trend here. you have a history.
we re flying over very much we re flying other the alps in this simulator. right now we are. tell me about that the thought process of turning this to 100 over the alps where there is clearly nowhere to land. right. so this is a very difficult subject, right, because why would any pilot put in 100 feet over the alps and there s only one reason and that s to descend the airplane into the mountains. once i set 100 feet here i can stop it immediately. we re in a descent right now coming through 18,000. i will set it to 18,000 and pull the button and this airplane will stop descending at 18,000 feet. so by setting in an altitude below the terrain, this airplane if you did nothing, would impact the terrain. pilot buck rodger thank you so much. thank you. back to you victor and alison. i have a question before you go. would the passengers on this plane as soon as that was turned from 38,000 to 100 obviously by the time they got to the level
travel less distance because it travels at a lower speed. you are getting to the right impact point. perhaps to the wrong reasons. i think they are establishing that one spot by 35,000 feet as opposed to 12. that s my end of the terms. it may be just turned. the pilot put in the diversionary airport and began that turn and faced that bad in the cockpit and the waypoints may be that they went near those waypoints. i keep coming back to the notion that heaven for bid they don t find the black box and say they find pieces of debris and they never get to the key of what happened. could they extrapolate enough to come to a sort of conclusion as far as what happened? if they find debris, it will have to have tell tale signs of what happened and how the plane
something could have happened on board and we knew he had to get back to land quickly. he turns a heading back to ground. something else happens. the plane carries on flying a predestined. all sorts of reasons why it will be flying towards the way points. when you look at the way points and it appears to be plotted here, the latest information saying the plane went to the way points. does that lend anything to your thinking as to what might have happened? i agree. i m not sure the airplane hit the way points. it may just pass near them. it s all possible that the pilot put in a heading into the heading bug and became incapacitated. i think the biggest thing we have here now is that there is data probably that provided to the searchers saying to look to the west. that s the most important thing right now. we have a lot of speculation how it got there, but based on where
