Motive . Hello, there, everyone. Im john berman. I am michaela pereira. It is 11 00 out east and 8 00 a. M. Where you are. I am already in trouble. We are four weeks in after Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared. The search turns in another direction, below the surface. Crews have dropped a pinger locator in the water. It is trying to pick up the chirps from the missing jets flight data recorders. It canic p up sound from two nautical miles away. Even if the boxes are 20,000 feet under the water. The technology should detect the pings. This, of course, all assuming tho tha tho that those beacons are emitting any signals at all. The batteries could be dead. There is also an underwater robot getting ready to go. It will search the seabed for wreckage if the ping locator picks up any signals. The crews can only guess where the plane might have hit the water. The equipment could be going in the wrong direction for all we know. Searchers taking a shot in the dark and in the deep. The best area of highest probability as to where the aircraft might have entered the water is the area where the underwater search will commence. It is on the basis of data that only arrived recently. Above the is yours fa, 14 aircraft and nine ships have been patrolling the search zone. Lets bring in paula newton in perth, australia. We now know the pinger locators are listening under water. I suppose this is giving search searchers a little bit of hope. Reporter hope. They are hoping for luck. They say it will take a lot of it to find them. They have a lot of confidence in that equipment. It is very sensitive. The weather is good. It does make a difference. The terrain, not that difficult. It is not steep. They say it should. If the pingers are there, if the black boxes are there, they will hear them. At the same time, you are talking about 150 miles. Thats not bad. They will continue to be scanning this area and if they dont find anything, others. They will add 1012 days. A good question as to whether or not those pingers will be emitting any kind of a sound. No one can know that in advance. They are going to give it a shot. That is progress in this investigation when all they have been doing is looking on the surface and not finding anything of note. They are hopeful going below the surface will yield some results. No one watching this more closely than the families of the people on board flight 370. We are now hearing from the wife of one of the passengers there. How is she holding up . Reporter she is extraordinary. So strong. She has two little boys around her in the house and she is really saying she is trying to keep strong for them. Her husband, paul weeks, an engineer on that flight, on the way to mongolia. She is stunned by how close this search has come to her home. She only lives ten minutes from this base. She can hear the search planes taking off in the mornings. She says she is very confident at this point that if there is something there, they will find it. Take a listen. I have all confidence in the search. If it is there, they will find it but are they in the right place . It is all calculations. It is all guess work. There is Science Behind it obviously but all they have are some pings to go on. Just as a general, normal person or household wife here in perth, i just assumed obviously wrongly, that they always knew where planes were. I thought that just went without thinking about it. So much at stake for her and her family during this search. Her questions are just like yours and mine. Are they searching in the right place . Thats still something that nags her every hour. We are going to talk more about that ahead. It is such an important question. Paula newton in perth. Remarkable to hear the strength of that woman still four weeks into this search. Even what she said about, weve always assumed that we knew that planes were easily located wherever they were, wherever they travel. I think we all falsely believed that the jobs hit a milestone as the private sector finally recovered all the jobs lost in the 2008 financial crisis according to the new jobs report. It says the u. S. Economy added 192,000 jobs last month. No change in the unemployment rate, 6. 7 . The job gains came entirely from the private sector as government jobs were flat. The dow and s p 500 open at record highs following that report. Some Severe Weather to tell you about. You may be experiencing it, cars, trees, and hundreds of homes are no match. Rain and hail the size of basebal baseballs slamming cities across the central u. S. Causing severe damage. No known fatalities. That Severe Weather is headed east. The National Weather Service Warns of dangerous thunderstorms and winds extending from the gulf coast up to the ohio valley. I have a tragic story to tell you about. Two Associated Press journalists were shot in afghanistan. One of them fatally. The women were in their car traveling with a convoy of election workers. An Afghan Police officer opened fire and then surrendered. He anja need niedrinhaus was killed instantly and their jobs were crucial and how dangerous those jobs are. Both fellow journalists. Authorities are trying to piece together what may have led an Army Specialist to open fire killing three before taking his own life. We are learning that evan lopez may have argued with someone before the shooting. He had a history of depression and anxiety. Lopez was being evaluated for possible posttraumatic stress. We will have a live report ahead back to the search for flight 370. Searchers looking under water. An Australian Navy ship, the ocean shield, is dragging along a towed pinger locator in the hope of hearing pings that would lead them to the flight data recorder. Lets break down what it does. It can detect pings from two nautical miles away. It is towed at very slow speeds. It can go as deep as 20,000 feet, which is beyond the necessity in this search area. I think the biggest is about 13,000 feet. Apparently, the censor looks a bit like a yellow stingray. Jeff weiise is here with us tod. Good to have you with us. We talked about its capabilities and what it can do. It also has some limitation. It goes very slowly. You are committing an entire ship to this search. The ship is pulling this thing behind it. It is like mowing the lawn. You have to go back and forth and back and forth and eliminate what part of the seabed it might be on. There is a big if, if the pinger is working. In the case of air france 447, the pinger turned out not to be working. They searched the area and didnt find anything. They excluded that area and had to go back later and revise their assumptions. The tpl. They had this bluefin autonomous underwater vehicle. What can the bluefins do . These can do something. The vehicle itself could be equipped with either acoustic locator or a side scan sonar which is basically underwater radar. You can mow the lawn, go back and forth listening or scanning the seabed creating where bats can see where there are pings. You can paint a picture of the bottom of the ocean. It is almost like mapping the ocean floor. If the pinger is not working, thats how you are going to find the plane, by going down and imaging. We are on day 28. The worst case scenario, two days left. Best case scenario, 45 days left if the pinger beacons are still working. That tool will be helpful if those pingers are not emitting sounds. If we dont find wreckage or hear the pinger, it is going to come down to this truly herculean task. This is a huge arc. On the scale of that. We are going to talk a lot more about this. We have serious questions about whether this is feasible, practical, advisable. Jeff wi. Se. Dont forget to look us up on facebook at this hour. Ahead at this hour the search for flight 370 is being based on educated guess work, guess work. Is that Accurate Enough at this point . 28 days in. Thats next. Why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york . I tell people its for the climate. The conditions in new york state are great for business.

See if your business qualifies at startupny. Com their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didnt get me to my goal. So i asked my doctor about victoza. He said victoza works differently than pills, and it comes in a pen. And the needle is thin. Victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. Victoza is not insulin. Do not take victoza if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. Serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas pancreatitis which may be fatal. Stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. Taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. If your pill isnt giving you the control you need. Ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. You said it is the best we can do. To be blunt, are you hoping to get lucky . Yes, we are. The area, still hundreds of miles big. We fly every day. Our p8 and p3s. We have flown 300,000 square nautical miles of coverage, until we get conclusive evidence of debris, it is just a guess. Just a guess. Hoping to get lucky at this point. The search for flight 370 its really now just based on educated guess work. Thats commander william marks, whom i spoke with overnight. An interesting discussion. It really is. Searchers are in a race against time to find the flight data recorders before the pinger dies. Mary and mark are here. Good to have you. Lets talk about that. We are four weeks in. Major command der marks, rather, is one of the Major Players involved. He is saying that what we do have to go on is light. Thats all we have to go on. Do we have to manage our expectations on what is realistic. We do. I think it was lefty gomez of the yankees that said, he would rather be lucky than good. Some of the researchers and australians are feeling that way. The good part comes in from all the data and the research. It is half full, half empty. Without those satellites, whose job it wasnt to find the plane but they did the job anyway. With calculations and satellites, they truly would have nothing. So they have the educated high poth cease. They are going to need some luck. It is a very big area to search. If the thought is that the plane did not break up into literally thousands of pieces and is a big item on the floor of the ocean, then, even without the pinger, the side scan sonar will have a much better chance of finding it. Hey, what about what mary is saying right there . What if the plane didnt break up . How likely to you think that is. How would that have to transpire and what are the implications . This is such an unusual case. I cant recall any case where a plane as large as a 777 has impacted the water and remained in such good shape that there is no you have 400 seats that are also flotation devices and galley carts should be floating around. If it broke up and fell out. It is not like a lightweight thing. Your talking about truly massive. One step down from a 747. You are talking about it hitting 100, 200 miles an hour at least. These things are not designed to withstand that. If it landed like sully landed on the hudson, would it sink intact . Most likely not. The other thing to bear in mind is if we dont find any wreckage, we start to ask some fundamental questions. One of them, is it on the bottom intact . Is there another explanation . Really, the only reason we think it is on the southern arc and not the northern arc is because of this analysis done by inmarsat. They said it is more likely that the model of the southern arc was better than the model for the northern arc. There is an entire another set of scenarios. If you dont find debris, when a search area fails, you have to go back to the original. Get back with the computations and make sure they are doing it every day. Jeff, mary, we have a lot more to ask you. The public has a lot more to ask you as well. Please, tweet us your questions to mary and jeff. 370qs. On facebook at hour.

Turning to the deadly rampage at ft. Hood as that community grieves. We are learning more about those killed in this shooting. Among them, Sergeant First Class danny ferguson, Sergeant Carlos Rodriguez and Sergeant Timothy owens. 37yearold owens worked at a counselor at the post. He was a husband and father of two xhern. As news broke of the shootings, his mother tried franticly to get in touch with her son. He didnt answer the phone. So i left a message on his phone, son, call me so i know if youre okay or not. Well, never got no call from him. I thought, oh, god, please dont let it be. Heartbreaking to hear that. She says her son just loved the army and had signed up for another six years. It is going to be the career. We are learning more about the shooter. Army specialist, yvonne lopez. Investigators piecing together his past, including his military records and his struggles with military health. He may have had an argument with a soldier. We are getting information on what investigators have turned up in his house. Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, dr. Gail saltz. Why dont you bring us up to date. Reporter they are still looking through, the investigation is still on going. New information discovered from the home. We have information as far as the victims. There were 16 victims, people injured. Three in critical condition. We know that those three have been upgraded to fair condition. The good news here, none of the 16 died from this shooting but, again, we do know that the three names of the people who were killed. Again, those names, Sergeant Timothy owens, a counselor, as you mentioned here on post, Sergeant Danny ferguson, according to cnn affiliate, wtsp and sergeant carlos laini rodriguez. We are hearing more. They are looking into the strong possibility that there had been some kind of altercation or verbal fight before the shootings. Are we learning anything more about that . Reporter we do plan to ask that. We are looking for another news conference. We know there was a verbal altercation that took place before the shooting occurred that could play factor. Keep if mind several other factors that they are looking into it. He is looking into his Mental Health treatment. Looking into the medications he was taking. We know he was taking antidepressants. We know he was taking the drug ambien. A sleep medication. They are looking into all of that to understand how that might have played into it. In the course of this investigation, gail, there has been this report that came out saying he was grieving the loss of a mother who had died of a heart attack. He was only issued a 24hour pass to go to her funeral. He would have had to travel to puerto rico to be there. It was changed to two days. Could Something Like that, when somebody is grieving have some of these issues. Could that cause somebody to snap. It could cause someone to become very distressed. The loss of a parent can cause someone to be distressed. The frustration about being able to do what they feel they need to do could cause them to be very angry. Do we see that as a cause of murder . No. I would say that would be highly unusual. Most people in the military who are returning with depresion or ptsd. They are at a much greater risk of harming themselves. There is quite a high suicide rate, which its very concerning and growing. Committing a violent act against others is extremely rare. You use the word anger and frustration as a phrase ive heard before being used. Angry depression. What is that . Really, i think probably what is being referred to is there are different sthats can take before depression. We speak of agitated depression, a mix. They are anxious and depressed. Particularly in menment you may see a high irritability as the main feature of depression. It is tough to diagnose depression in men. What they appear is angry. They may be irritable, verbally snan i snap ish and responding. They may have a tendency to get into a fight when they are depressed and irritable. Dr. Gail saltz, thank you so much and thanks to george howell. More frustration for the flight 370 families. Four weeks after the plane disappeared, we are going to tell you you what the malaysian government does not want them to hear. For all kinds of reasons.

Cnn has learned that authorities denied their request for recordings of communications between the cockpit and control tower. Not even the pilots families are going to get to hear these communications. Sarah, we will start with you. What is the reasoning the families are being given that these recordings, they are not allowed to listen to them . They are being kept under wraps. The department of Civil Aviation tells them, it is a part of the ongoing investigation. We north finished. They are not going to hand those audio recorders over. Interesting to note why the families are so frustrated. Number one, they feel like all these discrepancies are absolutely creating a trust deficit. They dont believe what they hear verbally from the authorities. They want to hear it and see the evidence for themselves. They have already released the actual transcripts. They just havent released the audio recorders and some of the family members are saying, why arent you releasing those recordings. You must be hiding something. The government says, no, this is part of the investigation. They may get to cease these eventually. There is interesting to note, so many things have changed. Little details. Basically, they have said, look, they have changed what they heard. The last communication from what they believe was the pilots. First, they insisted it was all right, good night. We all looked at the transcript. It turned out it was good night, malaysian 370. Then, they talked about the copilot saying that. For many weeks they have said they think it was the copilot. Now, they are saying they are not sure. So the families again, that trust deaf sis growing. They simply feel like if they dont see it on paper or hear it for themselves, they simply cant believe it. The families have now seen it on paper. Seemingly, nothing out of the ordinary in the transcript, granted, we got that transcript very late. It was contradictory to what we heard before. Why do you think it is so important for these families to hear the words. They are looking for answers. It is to some degree of fantasy that they will hear something in the voice or see something that someone missed. Somehow that will give them insight into what had happened. They are grieving. When you are grieving and you partially want to deny what has happened, you are looking for what is the story line that will say they are somewhere else. They are somewhere safe. We have seen such raw emotion coming out of some of the briefings when they have been in front of the cameras and they picked up scene. It is interesting what sarah was saying, some of the families feel like something is being hidden from them. Any absence of fact, our brain will start inventing all of these theories and para now as. It is completely understandable. It is more understandable today. Lets face it, lots of countries are feeling questionable about their governments, about big institutions. Are they being lied to . I think thats become with our global world, people hear about scandal and controversy and lies all over the world. So i think that feeds the idea. People are hearing the theories and questions and some of the families are seeing that. They are in a state of grief, which is somewhat an altered state of consciousness. They are exposed to complicated grief. It was a sudden, unexpected loss without closure. It is understandable why they are so angry, even justifiable. This question 28 days in, is it productive for them in their healing process . You know, the old kubla ross, the stages of grief, denial and anger is one of them. It is not a great place to land and stay. You hope for them, they will be able to move on to acceptance, which is a place where they can then get on with their lives. Staying in this angry, blame full. They want someone to blame. There is no one to blame. They are angry they are not hearing the tapes. They are angry they have lost their loved ones. They cant turn back. You hope they have that right kind of support. People progress through it differently. You dont need to be forced. Everybody involved is in the same place. It depends on your psychological background, how much tram uma y have had. Great to have you here. Dont forget, you can tweet us some questions.

The pinger locator trying to detect sounds from up to two nautical miles away, around the clock with no break. This is assuming the beacons are still emitting a signal at all. The batteries could be dead or it could be malfunctioning. There is also dating in the search an underwater robot ready to search the seabed for wreckage if the ping locator picks up a signal. There is a chance they could be looking in the wrong area. Searchers are making educated guesses. We have not searched everywhere where the aircraft might have gone. We are concentrating in an area that above the surface, meanwhile, 14 planes in the air, nine ships in the water searching the area. Some thousand miles off the coast of western australia. Cnns will ripley is near perth. He has more on the conditions being faced by these teams. Reporter after a day of clear weather, we are now starting to see some light rain just off the coast of western australia. And the weather about 1,000 miles from here in the search zone, were told, has been similar. Relatively calm seas, which was good for search crews today, because they werent distracted by those white caps on the waves. White caps that can easily be mistaken for possible debris floating in the water. Even though the visual search is now over for the day and these planes from a number of Different Countries are flying back to peers air base in perth, we know the s. O. N. A. R. Is going to be active 24 7. Their u. S. Navy towed pinger locater behind the ocean shield is under water listening for any signal from flight 370. But the possible is, with all that sophisticated technology, the tpl, the submarine in place and then the ship thats using s. O. N. A. R. Equipment as well, all that technology is just fine, but it needs a more narrow search area than what we have right now.

Mary, want to start with you. Before we get to those questions from our viewers, we know today that the news was that families were denied their request to hear the recordings from the cockpit to the air Traffic Control. They really wanted to hear those voices for themselves. They were denied that request. I want you to answer if that is Standard Operating Procedure and investigation. And also i know that you feel that oftentimes the families can aid in recognizing voices on those recordings. Thats right. Its not Standard Operating Procedure. And, in fact, the united states, air Traffic Control tapes and correspondents are considered public record. Theyre released right away. In fact, you can apply the freedom of information act and get them. Its the cockpit voice recording that the actual voices are protect protected. And it takes a court order to use those in court. But the transcript on the cdr only is released. And yes, its very important for people to listen. There are experts that make their living by interpreting whats those on tapes. Many times, the public can hear. And by the way, the pilot and co pilots family would be able to identify their voices so there wouldnt be any mystery. Questions were getting from viewers, one a lot of people asking. If the plane went down in the water, why didnt the elt, saltwater emergency beacons, why did they not activate and signal the planes position . This plane, we think, had at least two of them. Well, you know, the problem is that in many, many cases, these things just dont work. And they should, but the fact that there is no evidence doesnt mean there is an absence of evidence. Or i should say an absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence. So they just often are unreliable. Might be as simple as that. It was broken. I think you want to take executive privilege. That is my executive privilege. You took executive executive privilege. Okay. I didnt know my executive usurped. Back to twitter. Mary, a lot of people are wondering why not every resource was scam belled immediately. If you were asked, when the plane first turned around, why didnt they scramble a few jets. It was on military radar. Well, people might be surprised to know after september 11, 2001, that pretty much every day some plane strays off course. People go astray. Its private planes get lost, if you will. They put the wrong frequency in and people cant reach them. It happens all of the time. And we dont very rarely do we or other nations scramble jets, because most of the time its just somebody literally lost in the hertz or messing up. Well, scrambling jets is one thing, jeff, but this seems to be one of the biggest missed opportunities in this whole mystery. Which is why didnt malaysia first act when they saw this actual radar blip tracking across their screen. Why didnt thailand act when they saw this blip tracking across their screen. And then, of course, the whole question of indonesia. We dont know what they saw or didnt see, because theyre not telling anybody. But they certainly didnt take action if they did see something. No matter where the plane went, there are at least four countries that it traversed the military radar system. And its not like these people arent watching their radars. In 2012, an american flying a private plane who was sort of bumbling about, he got intercepted by two sue could i jets. They are able to detect these things. Ive had people ask on twitter, are the malaysians embarrassed, mary . Do you think theyre hiding something because theyre simply embarrassed they didnt react more quickly to these signs . Oh, i think so. I think theyre probably embarrassed. And theyre concerned that the world may not think that theyre on top of it or that theyre vulnerable. And besides now that we have all the discussion whether or not this is a criminal act and we have no evidence that it is, but, you know, then the nations have to be wary of copy cats. And what and people who want to emulate and people might think, hmmm, thats an interesting plan. So the first the first event is, you know, an eyeopener, but the second event are people out there who want to do a metoo. Yeah. A metoo. Really quickly, mary, weve talked about this, about compensation, families will receive. They wanted to know, one of the viewers wanted to know if the same rates would apply regardless of the deceased nationality. Does it depend, nation to nation. Well, there are a lot of different variations on that rule. And sometimes it depends where the plane goes down. For example, in the united states, if it goes down in virginia, they apply the law of virginia. If it goes down in new york, they apply the law of the place of residence. Usually on an international flight, its where the person resided and sometimes where the plane crashed. And thats kind of the rule of thumb. So if one nation is generous and thats where they reside, they will have far more generous compensation. And it does depend on how much you make, who you support. You know, the circumstances of your family. Mary schiavo, jeff weise, always interesting to hear what people are asking. And thank you to you for participating in this conversation with us.
