Raddatz: OMG breaking news

they may have found the missing

plane or maybe not

Sandell: they may have heard

the pings or not

Raddatz: wow

Sandell: basically it's just 

mysterious underwater sounds

Raddatz: like the loch ness

monster or sharknado

Sandell: also it turns out 

they've been looking in the 

wrong place the entire time

Raddatz: in 2014 how can you lose a jetliner

Kerley: we could put GPS 

transmitters in airplanes

Expert: well they're in every car

Nance: that's crazy enough to work

Expert: why not stream black box

data to the cloud – not actual clouds

Nance: that can't be done for 

90,000 flights per day

Kerley: also small countries like

Malaysia aren't up to finding a missing jet

Expert: we need an international

team of experts to find missing jetliners

Kerley: another lesson from this

crash is don't send a text message

to family members that to tell

them their loved one is dead

Raddatz: good advice

[ break ]

Raddatz: now back to the Fort Hood

mass shooting – the latest one that is

Thomas: the shooter was not a terrorist

– he had mental health issues

Raddatz: you mean he was a white guy

Thomas: right

Expert: he was frustrated with 

bureaucracy and wanted time off 

and started shooting random people

Reporter: that seems excessive

McHugh: he had depression and anxiety

Thomas: a source told me that

mass shootings shouldn't happen

Raddatz: 130,000 veterans have PTSD

Doctor: but that doesn't lead to violence

Raddatz: yes but they do 

have outbursts of anger

Raddatz: I reported on this back in

2009 and it's still happening

Raddatz: what should the army do?

Carter: the army needs to focus

on taking of people

Chiarelli: vast majority of soldiers

are totally fine

Raddatz: can you have PTSD

without being in combat?

Chiarelli: sure in fact lots of regular 

Americans have PTSD

Raddatz: is the shooter a wounded warrior?

Chiarelli: absolutely

Schmidle: the was are ending but

the effects of the wars are still going on

Raddatz: what do we owe our veterans

Schmidle: we should equip

them at home as well as war

Raddatz: or better

Carter: we have to provide

more resources for veterans

Raddatz: the shooter was

getting treatment

Chiarelli: we don't know much

about post traumatic stress

Raddatz: do you expert more problems

Schmidle: sure but not necessarily violence

– just all kinds of problems

Raddatz: good point

[ break ]

Karl: Congress blasted

General Motors this week

McCaskill: it was a corporate 

culture of cover-up

Barra: I didn't even know GM

made cars until this January

Jarvis: this could be criminal

Family member: GM is only 

concerned about money

Karl: do you trust General Motors?

McCaskill: we know they tried to

hide their lethal defective switch

Karl: will anyone go to jail?

McCaskill: if corporations are people

then we should lock up the GM person

Karl: ha

McCaskill: they knew for a year

and still did nothing – it's crazy

Karl: isn't the federal government 

really to blame?

McCaskill: it depends on how

much GM covered up

Karl: I see

McCaskill: at least one engineer

committed perjury

Karl: wow

McCaskill: we need to hear

from CEO Barra again

Karl: will Congress force GM

to compensate the victims

McCaskill: they had better or

Congress will be very mad
