(( Jim Hall/CHAIRMAN, NTSB, paraphrased, both left and right engines were cutoff.
With the flight data recorder revealing no obvious signs of mechanical
trouble with EgyptAir flight 990 the spotlight has been turned on the
criminal side of this investigation.
With the plane's voice recorder still missing, no one knows what
went on inside the cockpit. So the FBI is focusing more on who was in it.
JAMES KALLSTROM/FBI: SOMEBODY APPARENTLY WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE BUT APPARENTLY PUT THIS PLANE INTO A DEEP DIVE SWITCHED OFF THE AUTO PILOT AND PUT IT INTO A DEEP DIVE AND DID NOT CALL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL THIS IS VERY VERY UNUSUAL AND IT SOUNDS VERY VERY STRANGE.
The Boston Herald is reporting that at least one EgyptAir crew member had reason to believe the plane was in danger and other
members of the crew were behaving strangely right before the plane took
off.
But investigating the crew, as well as the passengers has been a part of the criminal investigation from the beginning. So far, the FBI
says it has come up empty handed.
With fears the crash may have had little if anything to do with the
Boeing 767 itself, finding the cockpit voice recorder is all the more
crucial.
But there are problems.
The USS Grapple began its 8- hour voyage back to the crash site this
morning but wouldn't get the Navy s underwater robot into the water
until late in the day.
Meanwhile, its counterpart, the civilian operated Magnum ROV spent
most of the day on the deck of the Carolyn Chouest, having an electrical
