Beacon cuts off forever. But what if the plane is sitting on the bottom of the ocean with time running out . Well look at an underwater retrieval. What if something happened to incapacitate everyone on board and the plane flew itself on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel . Good afternoon, everyone. Im jake tapper. Two major developments this hour in the now twoweek search for flight 370 and the 239 souls on board. One involves that possible debris spotted on satellite images. The other involves the data erased from the Flight Simulator seized from the captains home. U. S. Officials say the fbi team examining that data is confident that agents will be able to recover at least some of the information. The malaysians saw nothing of concern on the hard drive but our source says they could not access everything on it and its not clear whether the malaysians even have the technology to do it. And while the fbi works on that, searchers are following what australias Prime Minister called today, quote, the first tangible breakthrough in what until now has been a baffling mystery. These are satellite images showing what could, could be debris from flight 370. Two pieces in the southern indian ocean about 1500 miles off the australian coast. On the left, what youre looking at appears to be something big, about 24 meters, 79 feet long. On the right, thats a smaller piece, 5 meters, 16 feet long. But the ships and aircraft dispatched to that debris have not found the possible debris yet. Perhaps because the satellite images were taken four days ago. One expert says that the debris or whatever it is could have drifted 1,000 miles from that location by now. Spotting it again is no easy task because the parameters are in an area described by australias defense minister as one of the most isolated places on earth. High winds, high current and weather that can change without any warning. Jim sciutto, lay it out for us. Where was the debris spotted and where is the search focusing . Remember that refined area, 1500 miles southwest of australia. This debris found just to the southeast of that, not too far, between 100 miles between here and there, here are the images and that move would make sense. Its currently moving in this direction. This is the bigger piece, about 79 feet. This one about 16, 17 feet. These are 14 miles apart and what is interesting about the big one, its got a lot of pieces, small debris which could indicate, they say, could indicate a debris field. So right now youve got a whole host of resources nying to this area. Youve got a p8 aircraft. This is a new Surveillance Aircraft flying. There are p7 orion, another subcraft air hunter. They have parascopes from submarines and they are trying to spot this debris. Its a long flight. Its a fourhour flight here. They only get a couple hours on site and then another fourhour flight back and when they did this yesterday the weather was pretty bad and they couldnt see anything. Once light hits, they are going to head back and have a closer look. We talked about there being two search arcs. Is the northern arc not being looked at at all now . They are still dedicating resources in the north. Laos is looking, vietnam, kazakhstan, helicopters are searching the sat lime images. But its really down here that they believe is the strongest possibility as to whether the plane ended up. And just an idea of the allocation of resources there. 29 aircraft involved in this search. Four of them are up here. 25 of them are down here and the chinese are sending another four ships in this direction, too. That gives you a sense of where they really think the most likely chance of this plane being. Jim sciutto, thank you so much. How likely is it that this debris from flight 370, that this is what it is, exactly. And if this is debris from flight 370, what next . Lets bring in safety analyst and author of why planes crash, the fight for safe skies and former ntsb air safety investigator and also worked for the faa and the u. S. Air force. Hes author of the book air safety investigators using science to save lives one crash at a time. The Australian Government, the officials there have given these images a lot of credibility. The Prime Minister appearing before parliament to talk about this. Judging from the size and location of what is shown in these images, how likely do you think that this is debris from a plane crash . Well, i hold back on making a comment as to what i think it is because at this point theres no evidence what it is, exactly. In fact, the concern that i have, both of these images and objects are about the size of containers. They come in 20 foot, 40 foot, and 80foot lengths. So Im Holding Back to say that it is debris but the good thing is, the merchant ship is out there. Even if they find this and fly over the top of it, its going to be very difficult to identify it as part of the aircraft but now that the merchant shift is there, theyll be able to lift it up and verify it and move forward with the investigation. Alan, lets talk about what would still be floating at this point, theoretically, two weeks after a plane crash. Would there still be debris floating in the ocean . Its possible. But a large chunk of debris, im with david, that may well be a shipping container but there could be, you know, if the plane ran out of gas, its possible wings got severed on impact and with empty fuel tanks, they might still be floating, this long after the event. David, jim just eluded to this new aircraft that they have for the search. They didnt have it when they were looking for air france 447 in 2009. Its the u. S. P8 poseidon. What make it is so special . It has the ability to locate drones. We didnt have the ability to have a centralized kind of like a sars managing where they searched and based on what they find, tightening the search based on that. Its a very advanced aircraft. They cost 33 million each and excuse me. 200 million each and the government spent 33 billion just since 2013. At the end of the day, whether its the person on the p8 poseidon, it comes with the person looking with cameras or closed circuit from the drones, right . Not entirely, no. Because theres not a lot of farce material in the bottom of the ocean. If theres iron, steel, not necessarily aluminum, but hard surface under there. The bottom of the ocean is not what we experienced about 447, which was rocky. From what i understand, this area is much more smooth and level which gives the poseidon a much better opportunity to actually map and look at the bottom of the ocean, although its 6,000 feet would make that difficult. I still think there is hope, even if this material went to the bottom, that we would find something through using those aircraft. David, its people who ultimately determine what they see. Thats all i mean by that. Yeah. As far as what youre finding on the surface. But it does have the ability to look below the surface because its made to look for submarines, is what it is designed for a. Dr. Diehl, if this is debris, what will they do considering this is debris. Perhaps we can tell what happened. In the air france accident we realized right away that it was a high, flat impact. Nose high, sort of flat impact. But the other thing that i would certainly bring up here is, yes, the p8 poseidon is very capable but there are not many of them and they have 150 p3 orions. They are quite capable and we need to start the big pinger hunt. A couple dozen aircraft are fine but we probably need a few more resources and the u. S. Navy has large quantities. I mentioned 150. The japanese have 100. The australian have about 12. So we may have to go with the oldtech. Its still pretty good when youre looking for the pingers. How many do you think we would need out there . Id call up the reserve unit and dispatching at least 50. Ive done a back of the envelope calculation. If we could get 50 from our resources, maybe 25 from the japanese and another 25 from around the world, brazilians and so on, the indians have a few, we could put together a grid search. Weve only got two weeks. If we dont find these things in the next two weeks, unlike air france where we knew exactly where it is, or south france 747, same thing, we knew roughly where it was. We still have a vast area to cover and i do think we needs lots of equipment out there, even if it is lowtech. When it comes to looking at pingers, those p3s are still pretty good. Finding the black box. Why malaysian Officials Say they may not be able to find it before it goes silent. Plus, the indian oceans are the deepest, darkest oceans on earth. What crews will use to scour the floor of the ocean to search for clues. Are you still sleeping . Just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. The First Technology of its kind.

Every minute that passes the chances of finding out what happened on board flight 370. The cockpit and data voice recorders do have a locator beacon that can send out a signal. But as our aviation correspondent explains, that transponder will soon run out of power. Reporter this debris may be the best hint yet to what happened to flight 370. But even if it is from the missing plane, the real key to understanding what happened could be miles away at the bottom of the ocean and its calling but time is running out. The cockpit voice recorders stores at least two hours of data and the Recorder Stores 36 hours of instrument data. Both crucial to what happened. Transmitters send out a locating tone but that only lasts for 30 days. Malaysian Officials Say without the pings, they dont have the technology to find them on their own. Before that becomes an issue, let me tell you that the malaysian submarines do not have that technology. Reporter the boxes may have gone further than anything else surfaced. The ocean can be 13,000 feet deep, more than ten times the height of the empire state building. It becomes a situation of trying to hear a very tiny signal in a really complex background noise and thats a hoard problem no matter what, made very worse by this being deep. Reporter these tones can be heard from two miles away but only if a special listening device is in the water. One bit of good news, the data is preserved long after the pingers go silent. It took two years for investigators to find the black boxes on the bottom of the atlantic ocean. The data was still there. Since the recorder is only two hours long, theres no guarantee it will answer every question as to what happened to flight 370. Well, one major manufacturer of pingers says that since the flight of air france 447, theres been a request for pingers to be applied to the body of the plane, not just the black boxes. They would be required to have a range of 6 to 10 nautical miles. Thats much more than the 2 nautical miles and the minimum battery life would be extended to 90 days instead of 30 and these proposed rules would only be applied to newly manufactured planes. Rene marsh, washington. If the black box battery runs out and the pings stop, how will they find the black box . Ian is joining me. Explain how investigators can find the black box if they no longer have the ping . Listening devices and trying to find ominous objects on the bottom and try to zero in on that. You have to go to the bottom of the ocean and search usually a large area with in a nested way, starting in a big area and honing in as the evidence begins to indicate where the debris might be. I want to get your take on something thats developed in the last couple of hours. A lecturer at the ocean nothiog center said that he sees something that looks like an oil slick near the left that were seeing on the screen. Our Richard Quest indicates that it would not be an oil slick. It would be more like a sheen. Can you tell us whether you conclude that its an oil slick or not . I would certainly like to say that it is but i cannot, based on the images that i see, say that it is. The sea state was about 10 to 12foot waves and wind at 25 knots. I would have a hard time believing that a jet would produce an oil slick after two weeks. They are going to need certain vehicles to assist with the search. Lets go through them. Lets show this man craft that the chinese have that you think could be very helpful. Tell us what it is. This is one of the deepest Diving Research submersibles in the world. The chinese took it to a depth of over 7,000 meters in 2012. So they clearly have been working hard to up great their capability for deep water ocean. I would not be at all surprised to see the chinese take an active role in trying to find this aircraft. 7,000 meters. And people go in that . Thats right. Its a batterypowered submarine. It has a limited time on the bottom so it would have to be used for a targeted search. But they have the capabilities of reaching all of the depths. And then there is this one, that found the air wreckage of flight 447. How do these vehicles work . These are launched on a program so the operators locate a search pattern and then the vehicle is deployed, dives to the bottom, usually operates at 100 feet or more off the bottom and looks with sonar and other listening devices and tries to find the debris. It goes back and forth mowing a lawn and can operate for periods of up to 24 hours and then its recovered and operators download the data and they look to see if theyve discovered anything. Almost like an underwater drone there. Thats talk about the rovs, remotely operated vehicles. How is this used in the search . Once they located the debris, they have an umbilical cord that runs from the equipment to the surface. They can see everything in realtime and they have the mechanical arms and claws and lifters that can untangle debris and this is the way that the black box would have possibly been recovered. I think they raised the debris using a ship and were able to recover the black box from that. This would be crucial. The technology would be crucial for manipulating the wreckage and untangling this mystery. Ian macdonald, thank you so much for your time. When we come back, the best lead and its from four days ago . Why did it take so long for australia to show the at light photos .

Welcome back to the lead, im jake tapper. Continuing with the world lead. This is a search area that spans more than 3 million square miles, roughly the size of australia. But even with search teams from 26 countries combing the area, both above and now below the ocean surface, few clues have been uncovered over the past 14 days. Few that give us any solid indication as to what may have happened to Malaysian Airlines flight 370. Could this have been a case of too many cooks in the kitchen or are investigators overwell m. Ed by the immense search area. Reporter it starts in space. Satellite data imagery from digital globe downloaded and transferred to the geospacial intelligence organization. It captured debris on march 14th. Australia said there were so many pictures, it took them four days to sort through the imagery. China also released imagery after a daylong delay. There may be another reason why a country may slow down public release of information. Part of it is not telling the other guy what youve got. The reason for that is capabilities want to keep it hidden and one of those is how fast can you take a satellite image and analyze it and use it in an trainformational sense. Many regard that as secret. Reporter three orion intelligence planes have been dispatched with sensors and radar. Planes capable of low flight and able to stay airborne for up to ten hours. The u. S. Navy has sent a p8 poseidon aircraft with a unique capability. It can go up above 20,000 feet or even depending on what they are doing and then it can control a fleet of drones as they look at very specific areas of the ocean. Reporter its also a warfighting plane but in this mission its the underwater Detection Capabilities that is important, including dropping son sonar buoys to try to locate the debris. What they can do with this aircraft is use them to determine the types of things that they might see in the electro magnetic environment. For example, if there was a black box out there. Reporter and support is needed. Australia has to put the largest ship ever built in that country for its navy, officially called an oiler replenishment vehicle. Joe johns, cnn, washington. Joe johns, thanks. The search for flight 370 is not only large but very expensive. It could ultimately costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

One pill each morning. 24 hours. Zero heartburn. More now on missing flight 370. Why would it turn off course and then continue on for hours . One theory gaining credence among experts is there could have been a fire, win that disabled the pilots and locked out Electrical Systems but also allowed the plane to continue flying on autopilot without anyone manning the controls, so the plane just ran out of fuel. Our own Suzanne Marveaux is looking into those possibilities. Reporter streaking across the skid fy for almost four hou flying on its own, the plane lost cabin pressure and all on board were dead. Could Malaysia Flight 370 have also turned into a socalled zombie plane . I think in the first few minutes of this emergency, the pilots had to change course because they were looking for an emergency airport. They were at some point overtaken by whatever it was, smoke, fire, or some kind of problem. And the plane was then left to fly itself after it had been programmed to go on that course. Thats what we call a zombie option. Reporter it happened with flight 522 which flew on autopilot for nearly two hours before crashing in athens in 2005. Pilots forgot to switch the pressure rye zags switch from manual to auto. All on board passed out and froze in their seats. So far, we know the malaysian flight was flying for at least seven hours based on pings emitted from the plane. Whatever took out the planes transponder and acars was mechanical and could have damaged the electronic nerve center which, among other things, monitors the cabins climate. When you have a decompression, it happens pretty quickly. In a minute or so. In the case of smoke, it can also be very quick. The pilots have a greater oxygen than passengers but all of this could have taken no more than ten minutes at most. The skeptics say the zombie scenario is not credible because of the behavior of the crew. Youre changing heading and professionally and by training you would let somebody know, air traffic control. So an emergency signal would have been broadcast. It may be that they did try to send a signal and for some technical reason it was never sent or maybe the signal was sent and no one was listening. This was at like 1 20 in the morning over the pacific. Just a sounding of alarms, including one for a loss of cabin pressure. Suzanne malveaux, cnn, washington. I want to bring in les abend who is a 777 captain. Were working with hypotheticals here. How viable do you think this autopilot theory is and what would have had to have happened in the cockpit . I think its a very viable theory. Its something ive been touting that seems the most plausible all along from the standpoint of the scenario im looking at it different than payne stewart. That was simple highpoxia. The plane lost pressure rye zags and everyone essentially went to sleep. But my scenario is a smoul smouldering fire that created smoke and once that began the crew donned their oxygen masks. You cant totally see all of that smoke from breathing and youre going to get toxic fumes, depending on what is burning. So my scenario is they approached that point where it sounded like there was a normal situation. There may have been something on the screen that indicated a slight fault, maybe a shrug of the shoulder and then it started to progress if it was a fire situation. The captain realized it was compelling enough to get the airplane turned and entered a waypoint that was an alternate airport in the flight Management Computer and kept the autopilot connected because this plane is designed, especially in an emergency to, reduce workload. He would have kept the autopilot on and allow the plane to make its turn towards the waypoint which happened to be a diversionary airport and then it got worse and worse and it sounds rather ominous to call it a zombie operation or a ghost ship but in a way it is very ominous. As it progressed towards the waypoint, the toxic fumes perhaps overcame the crew and perhaps the passengers and at some point they were no longer able to function. It may have described if the avionics were shutting down slowly, screens may have gone blank. They were trying which may explain although we cant confirm it, the up and down altitude movements and by that time they were unable to perform their duties and the airplane just sailed and continued right past that waypoint which was right over the top of the particular airport at 35,000 feet. Now, we have issues with radar not detecting that. But if it occurred, if it went past the waypoint, it would continue on the same heading that it went over and just stayed on that heading until something altered its course, either a degradation of the avionics or some other particular reason, an external force like weather, the winds aloft, until it ran out of fuel. It may have started a southerly turn which is why they started to do a search in that direction. But for this theory to work, he would have programmed this in after the programmed the new direction into the computer after he said, all right, good night, and that contradicts some information that we have although not all of the information that we have been giv given proves to be accurate. Can a plane really go for six or seven hours . It will go as long as it has fuel. The airplane is going to try to maintain the altitude commanded by the pilots and when it cant do that, it will have a parameter and say i have enough and disconnect and it will start a slow descent or rapid descent. Les abend, thank you. Appreciate it. A family searching for answers but not wanting to believe the worse.

Welcome back to the lead. In other world news, Vladimir Putins forces tightens its grip on newly formed crimea. Russian forces bust through the gates with an excavator and then shoving around a tank just like they were toeing away a hatchback. The russians told the ukrainian soldiers to throw down their weapons and they raised the russian flag. Meanwhile, president obama is responding to the land grab aimed at russia officials as well as a bank. These sanctions will not obama have a Significant Impact on the russian economy but could also be disruptive to the Global Economy. However, russia must know that further escalation will only isolate it further from the international community. Russia immediately retaliated with its own sanctions against nine u. S. Officials. House speaker john boehner, harry reid, senators john mccain, john menendez, mary landrieu, ben rhodes and dan pfeiffer and Caroline Atkinson are all banned from traveling to russia. John mccain said i guess my spring break trip will not include russia. Do you think anything will change on either side, Nick Paton Walsh . Reporter youre talking about how those Ukrainian Military bases are under pressure. And the tense onslaught of protests are backed up by our men. Were seeing a pattern that is continuing to ships. It seems like ukrainian soldiers are really coming out such pressure that they are melting away. But those sanctions all the same, though, unleashed today are remarkably fierce, jake. Were talking about the naming of particular people as putins cashiers by the u. S. Treasury department, intimating wealth that you would not expect of a salary and making it hard for those linked to that wealth to actually function in the Global Economy by giving them u. S. Sanctions. Specific members of the u. S. Staff of the kremlin is also targeted as well. Really quite drastic as well. And then you have the other option signing on the executive order that means they could go after particular parts in the russian economy, too. The results of this is not going to change things in crimea but possibly it might make those around putin and tough move today from the white house certainly and what we saw back the mirror from russia really wasnt as tough at all. They seemed like they hadnt actually prepared an equally drastic step. Jake . Nick, quickly, president obama announced that a bank would be sanctioned. What is the significance of that . Reporter well, its significant because the bank is a place where senior russian facilities keep their money. Its a warning shot, too, because the system is massively interlinked. They cannot exist like back during soviet times. Nick paton walsh, thanks. Wolf blitzer is here. The search is focusing on a deep water search in the indian ocean and youre going to be taking a deep look at that . An oceanographer will be joining me and in the next hour or so, daylight is going to come over the indian ocean, especially the area where they are looking for this debris. It may be wreckage from the plane, might not be. But there are a lot of planes flying over. Were going to check in to see what is going on. I assume in the course of the Daylight Hours they are going to have a better chance of finding whatever it was. So well be all over that. Well keep our fingers crossed. Thank you, wolf blitzer.

Two pieces of what could be floating debris in the indian ocean are seen as signs of hope and of horror for the Family Members of those on board malaysia Airlines Flight 370. While some are looking for confirmation, others are still clinging to the possibility that those on board are still alive. Translator i cant sleep each night because all i think about is my son. Up until now, what else can we do . This is about his flight. There is nothing you can do to help. We can only wait for further updates. Reporter do you still believe your son is alive . Translator i firmly believe that my son, together with everyone on board, will all survive. Lets go live now to cnns sara sidner where the flight originated from. What has been the consensus from the Family Members . Reporter you know, it really depends on which Family Member youre talking to, from one to the next the emotions are very different. Some of them very strong in their reaction saying they just dont believe, as you heard just there, that this is the actual plane. They havent gotten confirmation. Its very upsetting to them. However, they believe that their loved ones are alive somewhere and that the plane is somewhere in tact. And then you have others who are somber, who are saying, well accept whatever it is but we just want to know. Take a listen to one of the Family Members waiting here in malaysia for any word after hearing about these two objects seen by satellite by australia in the southern indian ocean. Translator as a father, i hope that all of the passengers on board night 370 are safe. My feeling is, personally, im grateful to the Australian Government for finding it. Both governments, australia and malaysia, i thank them. If it is true, it is okay. I will accept it. Reporter so you hear there, he says he will accept it and some of the reaction has been, we just want an answer and the only answer they want is where is missing flight mh370. The government do not know and thats the only thing they cannot tell them. We had a private meeting last night with about 100 Family Members here with the malaysian military and malaysian government and the Malaysian Airlines wasnt actually there but the Family Members were asking things like, why cant we see these radar pictures from other countries . Why did it take you so long to tell us that the plane was missing . The first answer was security reasons, we cant show you other countrys radar images. Others say it took long for the France Flight to release the information. We wanted to be sure and didnt want to alert people if that was unnecessary. It has been quite a roller coaster of emotion for the families. They are in a somber mood and they are just waiting.
