[0:00] Morning

[0:01] >> Tonight with Peter Jennings.

[0:02] >> Good evening and welcome to a special

[0:03] Northwest edition of World News Tonight

[0:05] here on Channel 2. We have learned today

[0:08] that based on one comment heard on the

[0:10] Egypt Air cockpit voice recorder, the

[0:12] National Transportation Safety Board

[0:14] wants the FBI to lead the investigation

[0:17] from here on in. As far as we know,

[0:19] whatever the Safety Board investigators

[0:20] have heard on the tape has not explained

[0:23] precisely why the plane went down. But

[0:26] there is something there. First, here's

[0:32] recorder did produce a good recording,

[0:43] possible criminal investigation. We are

[0:46] concentrating our efforts on determining

[0:52] voice recorder, whether or not this

[0:55] investigation is to remain under the

[0:57] leadership of the National

[0:58] Transportation Safety Board. Hall would

[1:01] not elaborate on that statement and did

[1:03] not give any details of the 31 a half

[1:06] minutes of conversation and cockpit

[1:08] noises on the voice recorder, but

[1:10] sources close to the investigation tell

[1:12] ABC News that for most of the tape, the

[1:15] conversation between the pilots in

[1:17] Arabic seems routine. Then they say

[1:20] alarms are heard in the cockpit and the

[1:22] pilots begin cooperating to handle the

[1:25] emergency. Sources say there is no

[1:27] indication of an intruder in the cockpit

[1:30] or of a struggle between the pilots. And

[1:32] they say the pilot
