Joe Sharkey was interviewed by Matt Lauer on the Today show about an hour ago. He added nothing to what was in earlier interviews. He mentioned that he was "sure" something hit them and that they did not hit anything. Also, that "we need to be careful in judgement as the two guys down there are in some peril".

There was a graphic display of the accident showing the Legacy approacing form the bottom and to the left of the 737 (when viewed from the 737). Both planes banked (Legacy to the right, 737 to the right, and the Legacy winglet then hits the 737 left wing and the 737 goes into a spin around its center axis and continues that spin all the way to the ground. There was no mention of where this diaplay came from.
