[0:01] a criminal act has occurred and they
[0:03] intend to find out not only how that
[0:05] occurred but who did it uh and the FBI I
[0:09] think was ready to to jump in and take
[0:11] over control of the T tww flight 800
[0:14] investigation and there was a lot a
[0:16] great deal of pressure for them to take
[0:18] over the Egyptian air crash as well you
[0:21] may recall in that one there was a great
[0:23] deal of uh back and forth between the
[0:25] state department and and the Egyptian
[0:27] government and the NTSB on that one
[0:29] along with the FBI until finally the US
[0:32] authorities came to the conclusion that
[0:34] that had been a deliberate act by one of
[0:36] the co-pilots and everybody backed off
[0:39] uh Egypt did not want to pursue that the
[0:41] FBI uh felt that wasn't within their
[0:43] mandate to pursue as well so I think

[0:54] down first we determined that it wasn't
[0:56] deliberate and not a crime and if that's
[0:59] the preliminary indication then this
[1:01] turns into a plain oldfashioned how did
[1:03] this happen type investigation Ed
[1:06] sources are telling you now that no one
[1:07] at the FBI is saying that there was an
[1:09] explosion on the board and they have on
[1:11] board the plane and they have no
[1:13] evidence that this is a crime they have
[1:16] no evidence right now that this was a
[1:18] crime a uh a very senior official says
[1:21] there is absolutely no evidence that
[1:23] this was an act of terrorism or an act
[1:25] of crime that is surfaced yet he went on
[1:28] to point out as correctly should however
[1:31] that we need to underline the
