[0:17] Flight 990. New radar data of the final
[0:20] terrifying moments with the Egypt Air
[0:22] Jet and new questions about what really
[0:25] happened in the cockpit. Life and death.
[0:28] The surprise deal that spares Matthew
[0:30] Shepard's killer from the gas chamber.
[0:32] What Matthew's parents did and why. Your
[0:36] money. New action to clear up the
[0:39] confusion over long-distance telephone
[0:40] race. And the home of the brave. They
[0:44] saved the world. Quiet heroes who jumped
[0:47] into history. Tonight, two wars at once.

[0:53] From NBC News, this is NBC Nightly News
[0:57] with Tom Brokoff, reporting tonight from
[1:01] Los Angeles.
[1:03] Good evening. Who doesn't wonder what it
[1:05] must be like in the passenger cabin of
[1:07] an airliner out of control. The final
[1:10] terrifying moments. Well, based on new
[1:12] radar evidence, the final moments of the
[1:14] 217 people on board Egypt Airflight 990
[1:19] must have been beyond terrible. Despair,
[1:22] then some hope, then the fatal dive.
[1:25] NBC's Robert Hager still is at the scene
[1:27] tonight. Robert, what do you have for
[1:28] us, Tom? An astounding scenario if you
[1:32] believe the radar. So astounding that
[1:34] some really wonder whether those radar
[1:36] hits are accurate. None of the sure, but
[1:38] it looks like the pilot might have been
[1:40] struggling to regain control of the
[1:42] plane and climb back up and get out of
[1:44] trouble. But it didn't work. The plane
[1:46] broke up and fell into the sea. And now,
[1:48] investigators hope the plane's blackbox
[1:51] recorders might help explain what's
[1:53] going on.
[1:56] First pictures today of that search for
[1:58] the recorders.
[1:59] >> Yeah, that's pretty loud. It'
