[0:12] A stunning turn in the Egypt air crash
[0:14] investigation. One of the black boxes
[0:16] indicates the plane probably was under
[0:18] control for at least part of the time it
[0:20] plunged toward its doom. Lost in space,
[0:24] one Mars Arbiter. NASA says government
[0:27] cost cutting, not NASA, may have been to
[0:30] blame. And the UN's biggest deadbeat.
[0:32] Why the US won't pay the world body its
[0:35] dues.
[0:37] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:47] >> Good evening. The investigation into the
[0:48] mystery crash of Egypt Air90 took a
[0:51] shocking turn today. A preliminary read

[0:57] show any evidence of aircraft failure.
[0:59] It does suggest that at least initially

[1:14] to determine whether mechanical,
[1:16] criminal, structural, or crew troubles
[1:19] caused the crash. CBS's Bob our has the
[1:21] latest.
[1:23] This is the tape device.
[1:25] >> The badly damaged flight data recorder
[1:26] from Egypt Airflight 990 has produced no
[1:29] smoking gun as to what may have caused
[1:31] the crash. A preliminary readout of the
[1:33] black box does not point to any obvious
[1:35] mechanical or structural failure of the
[1:37] airplane. Instead, the recorder shows
[1:40] the plane cruising normally at 33,000 ft
[1:42] when the autopilot disconnects.
[1:45] >> About 8 seconds later,
[1:48] the air
