((The cockpit voice recorder leaves no doubt there WAS a significant fire in
the passenger cabin moments before ValuJet flight 592 crashed in the
Everglades killing everyone aboard.
The tape reveals the flight was routine for six minutes before the pilots
got a horrifying report from the cabin.
ROBERT FRANCIS/NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD:
IT APPEARS THAT THE COCKPIT DOOR OPENED AND I SAY APPEARS, BUT THERE
WAS, THERE WERE VERBAL INDICATIONS FROM THE COCKPIT THAT THERE WAS FIRE IN THE
PASSENGER CABIN. THERE WAS ALSO AN INDICATION FROM THE CABIN THAT THERE
WERE PROBLEMS OBTAINING OXYGEN.
It's not clear if THAT means passengers were having trouble breathing or if
there were problems with the plane's emergency oxygen system.
While the preliminary information is helpful, investigators may not get
everything they want from the cockpit tape. The recorder was severely
punctured on impact....and much of the tape is muffled.
FRANCIS:
THIS WAS IS IN THE WATER. OBVIOUSLY IN THE EVERGLADES FOR TWO WEEKS,
NOTHING IS REALLY MADE TO BE PUT IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.
But further analysis of the black box may still answer key questions.
BOB ORR/CBS NEWS: MEANWHILE, THE COCKPIT TAPE ITSELF HAS RAISED WHAT MIGHT BE
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION. SINCE THE TAPE INDICATES THE PILOTS FIRST LEARNED
OF THE FIRE SIX MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT, WHY DID THEY WAIT AN ADDITIONAL FOUR
