responsible. pete, you represent veterans. what do you say to them and their efforts? well i laud them in pushing for more information. and when they say accountability, you know what that understands, that means military careers, military commands, that means reputations, and that s why these things get held back often times, is because stars are at issue here commands and generals. but the problem is under this marine corps there has been a lot of politicization some have said of the office of the inspector general, of the criminal investigation process. in this case clearly not enough was done so i hope they get their answers and, hopefully, in afghanistan we re doing more to protect marines and others in those places to insure they re able to partner with afghans get their mission done but while maintaining security. leah: accountability and hoping to prevent something like this from happening in the future. thanks so much for joining us. trace: we are continuing to following bre
it just took off for vegas which means this thing was loaded for bear. it s got enough fuel on this thing to fly for the better part of 11 or 12 hours across the atlantic, across the united states to land in vegas. so if, in fact, this landing gear is down this plane could be up there for quite some time because the last thing you want to do is land a plane that s this heavy on an airport. i mean, the 747s need a long airport to land on to begin with much less having a bad landing gear on a 747 trying to land, leah. this thing is, i mean, this is tricky. leah: yeah. this is really really tricky. the big question will be, of course what do they decide to do? is if this landing gear s not coming down, do they decide to do this belly up or take it as it comes and potentially get into a situation where the plane could twist and turn and spin? in this situation you have a lot of passengers onboard, and this could be very scary if people get injured depending on what happens and depending on
some sort of closure from this. we haven t seen anything as far as a definitive crash site at this point. what other what might help lead investigators searchers to find this possibly the transponder, right? or transmitter rather. i think the elt if they did ditch in the water the elt because it s a radio transmission will be squelched the signal will be grounded, so i don t think that s going to happen. if it was on land that s a possibility, but in the water, i don t think that s going to happen. if they have rafts and the emergency locater transmitters in the raft, we could probably hear that. i think they do have definitive area where concentrated searches can be started because they know where they lost contact, they know what the altitude of the airplane was and from that point forward a driftdown, even if the plane had separated in flight or hit the water, they need to concentrate that search there both from the air first and then they can call in ships to identify debris.
foreign assignment in cartegena we did not discover similar misconduct is widespread throughout the secret service. when a fence jumper made his way inside the white house this summer the president s press secretary said this. confidence in their ability to perform their very difficult function. what s required in an environment like this is a security organization that is adept, that is nimble, and that can be constantly both reviewing and upgrading their posture as necessary. that s difficult work. reporter: remember the new secret service rather the new secret service director joe clancy came out of retirement in october because he thought that the agency was damaged. leah. leah: this story keeps on growing. peter doocy in washington. thank you peter. trace: former florida governor jeb bush leading the pack of possible gop presidential contenders in a new poll but is
leah: a fox news report, if you ve been watching, we have been talking about a virgin atlantic plane that was circling gatwick airport with some landing gear problems. this was on a flight where it was taking off and going to las vegas loaded up with fuel. there are reports from telegraph saying that it was a right landing gear problem of some sort. we ve been talking about the fact that this plane would have had some time based on the fuel, to go through that emergency situation really work through the problem and figure out the best way to come in and land, and you re seeing a picture of it on the ground now. emergency crews have arrived on the scene. no word on exactly what that problem was no word confirming if it was indeed, a right landing gear problem. at this point it looks as though things are pretty settled on the ground though, trace. trace trace they landed safely and the people are clearly going to be delayed from going to vegas, but i m sure they re
