After it simply vanished into thin air. Heres the latest information were getting. U. S. Officials say an automatic system on the plane was pinging satellites for hours after air Traffic Controllers lost all contact with the aircraft. Investigators think the plane continued flying during that time. A senior u. S. Official says theres a significant likelihood potential at least its now at the bottom of the ocean but no conclusions can yet be reached. A reuters report suggests the plane was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course towards the andaman islands near india. Theres heightened suspicions that increase the opportunity that foul play may have been involved. And the search area for the missing plane has expanded further into the indian ocean as well as the South China Sea. The United States today sent the destroyer the uss kidd to scour the indian ocean in search of the aircraft. Lets bring in barbara starr. Does the Ship Movement seem to give credence to the comment by a senior u. S. Official that the plane may be at the bottom of the indian ocean right now . Well certainly it is one working theory at this point, wolf. You know, malaysian officials countries from across the region sending their ships, their aircraft to look for any sign of a debris field from this aircraft. Thats going to be the first thing theyre going to look for. And actually, a u. S. Navy aircraft, a longer range Surveillance Aircraft flew its First Mission into the indian ocean earlier today. Flew out about a thousand miles, didnt report seeing any debris field and came back. The kidd will use its helicopters. There will be more surveillance flights. Theyll look at this from the surface of the ocean, from the air, anything they can use basically, though, they want to stay with ships and aircraft at this point because thats their best chance of using those very specialized radars to look out and see if they can find anything that looks like debris on the ocean surface. If they find it, then they will hone in on that area. But a number of nations participating in this now as the malaysians are beginning to share more information clearly about what they know, some of those pings, some of that data received by satellites now being used to calculate perhaps where the best opportunity to look may be. Barbara, yesterday i spoke with a commander, commander William Marks of the u. S. Navys seventh fleet in the pacific, and he told me that the search was expanding dramatic going, from his words, from a chessboard to a football field. Give us an update on how extensive this u. S. And International Search operation has now become. You know, wolf, it started on the east side of the malay peninsula, if you look at the map in the gulf of thailand. Relatively speaking, thats a fairly constrained piece of water. They had a lot of ships in there, a lot of aircraft and within days the expression you heard is its saturated with searchers. They were able to look very quickly at every bit of that water, they say, and didnt find anything. Some of the data now pointing them to the west side of the malay peninsula, into the indian ocean. That is thousands of square miles of ocean. I think its safe to say they wont be looking at all of it. Theyre able to calculate how much fuel might have been left on board, the range of the aircraft, the data they got making them focus in on a much more specific area. Its still very large. Its going to take a lot of time, but perhaps, perhaps with the information they have in hand and the clues were seeing, they can begin to focus in on it. I should add the indian military, the indian navy and their aircraft are coming at this from the other side, through the bay of bengal sort of at the northwest top end of this piece of water. They are joining the search very actively, theyre looking in the more northern area, the u. S. Looking in the more southern area. Wolf . Barbara starr with the latest information from the pentagon. Thank you. So is the missing plane deliberately flown toward that Remote Island chain in the indian ocean. Could it have landed somewhere or is it more likely that it crashed into the indian ocean . Lets discuss the latest theories with tom fuentes, hes the former fbi director hes now a cnn Law Enforcement analyst. If this reuters report is true that the plane deliberately seemed to be moving toward the andaman islands in the indian ocean, part of india, what does that say . The question would be how far did it fly in that direction and whether it turned at all and how precise is their information about knowing that it flew that way . Because if it flew over indonesia on its way over the indian ocean, indonesia has 17,000 separate islands. We see on the map here the large islands of sumatra and below it ja java, but there are 17,000 islands the majority of which are not even inhabited. If the plane crashed on one of those on an uninhabited island there would be almost no one to know about it and it would be hard to see through the jungle canopy to see the debris. The 9 11 hijackers with the crash in the field in pennsylvania, that plane dove into the plane so deep it was barely visible in an open field. It was difficult to see from the air much less if it would have been a wooded area or jungle area with leaves and trees blocking the ground view. Thats another issue. Let me bring john golia into this conversation. A former ntsb board member and Aviation Security expert. Whats your assessment of these various theories . Because it seems to be getting more confusing by the hour. Well, based on the information thats been running around and we have to look at it with a very jaundiced eye, it clearly indicates a purposeful act, something turned the transponder off, somebody attempted to disable the acars system, we know the airplane turned off course. We have reports of signals being emitted from the airplane in a different course than what was originally set for the flight. All of that indicates somebody did that. Not the airplane. It wasnt a catastrophic failure. Somebody has accomplished these tasks, especially the ones that were accomplished over time. So it clearly is beginning to look like a terrorist or an act of piracy. Or foul play. Or suicide. Yeah, tom, go ahead. Yes, i would agree with that. The notion of catastrophic mechanical failure less likely, the notion na someone deliberately turned off the transponders and directed this plane in this direction for whatever reason more likely . Yes, and that requires two things to be true. Is one that, you know, it was deliberately turned the direction it was turned and deliberately continued to fly, which would indicate that it didnt explode over the original flight path where the original searches were conducted. And secondly, though, the data would have to be accurate concerning the tracking and whether it was going to one way point or another, that would require knowledge of the sophistication of the radar system, Malaysian Air force used, compared to the sophistication of the airport at kuala lumpur. We sent over ntsg and faa experts to look at the data, how modern is the equipment theyre looking at, how high is the resolution to know that its Accurate Enough to make these kind of judgments . So john, if a plane was flying for five hour hs afts af losing Communications Contact with Ground Control, how accurate are these pings that have now been detected pointing this plane in this direction of the indian ocean . Well, theyre pretty accurate, to give you that something sent a signal from some point. And the point has to be triangulated. Its not being broadcast on lat long and giving you that data. Its just telling you that its out there. Now there is systems that can provide that information, but were told that malaysians didnt pay for the boeing Health Monitoring system. Its a feebased service. And they only put it in for their engines and the engines will tell you a number of parameters based on the engines needs not so much the airplanes needs but one is the altitude. They can tell us how high the airplane is, but it wont tell us what direction the airplane is going in. Theres a lot of deduction going on. Yeah, go ahead. A lot of deduction going on based upon deduction based upon the scarce information we now have. I want you to stand by, john, and i want tom to stand by as well. Well take a quick break. Up next well go inside a boeing 777 cockpit simulator to find out what the pilots who fly this jet have to do to keep it in the air. Plus another possible lead into the whereabouts of flight 370 involves a seismic event off the coast of malaysia. We have details of that coming up as well.

Martin salvidge is joining us just outside toronto. Hes inside the cockpit of a boeing 777 simulator. Thats quite an array of buttons and lights for pilots to worry about. What pilots would have been doing that fateful night. Yeah, hello, wolf. Youre right, it does look very daunting initially when you look at this. But much of the systems aboard this aircraft are automated. I wont say that anybody can fly this plane, thats certainly not the case. But the days of when you used to have to fly in the old analog world, theyre a world away from this cockpit. Weve loaded in this simulator everything we know about flight 370, thats the Malaysian Airliner thats now vanished. We loaded in the destination. We took off from kuala lumpur, were en route to beijing. Were essentially following the same route they had mapped in, weve got it logged in on the very complicated gps system that they have here, castada who is the pilot here. Were quickly going to auto pilot. Whats pretty shocking to me and im sure a lot of our rurs is how easy it is to turn off the planes transponder. Thats the transponder that sends signals to Ground Control stations telling where the plane is, all sorts of very important information. First of all, show our viewers how easy it is for a pilot or someone who gets into that cockpit to turn off the transponder. Sure. Yeah. Okay. So heres the big huge dashboard. The transponder youre talking about is located right here, right next to my knee. It looks relatively small. It is. But its hugely important to the navigation of the airplane, as you point out. The way you would turn it off and you would, i stress, never do this while flying in the air, but to turn it off, you would take it and turn this small switch three clicks to the left and boom, youve turned it off. That essentially means this signal in is no longer broadcasting telling the air Traffic Controllers on the ground who you are, where you are or what youre doing. Doesnt mean you dont show up on radar, you do, youre still a blip, but now youre an unidentifiable blip. One other thing ill show you about the transponder, if you put it back on and if it was a hijack situation, someones now in the cockpit with a gun to your head, it will send a signature. You reach down, enter a code. This is not that code, but it could go like this and now youre transmitting an emergency message that everyone on the ground immediately gets, alarm bells, youve been hijacked. The plane is not in your control. Whats chilling you remember reading the 9 11 commission, of those four planes that were hijacked on 9 11, three of the transponders were shut down right away by the hijackers. They obviously had training in a cockpit, they knew what they were doing. They immediately shut down the transponders, how long would it take to shut down or disable the planes other key instruments giving indications to air Traffic Control or others on the ground where the plane was . The transponders very easy because of the fact that when youre on the ground you are supposed to turn it off. Youre no longer needing radar. So thats why the on off switch is so accessible. The other equipment you talk about, whether it be the radios, and there are many frequencies that they could be using, whether they use the acars system, thats the system that basically transmits what the airplane is do, even the engines are reporting in without necessarily the pilots input. To disable those, thats something far more complicated. Not as simple as an on off switch, you might have to get into some of the Circuit Breakers and the other more convoluted systems to try to shut that down. What that says is if somebody was shutting them off and in a series over time, they knew what they were doing. It wasnt just somebody who happened to stumble in on the cockpit. This is someone thats familiar with the flight deck of a 777200. Martin savidge in that simulator for us. A good explanation. Thanks so much. Was the disappearance of flight 370 a deliberate act . Thats a key question. Well speak live with our National Security analyst about the role of the cia in this investigation. Piano. Violin. Hey, what are you doing . Music lesson .

The cia director the other day said theyre not ruling out the idea of terrorism, in his words, quote, not at all. Our National Security analyst robert behr joins us from irvine, california. Also joining us to discuss whats going on, tom fuentes, our cnn Law Enforcement analyst, former assistant fbi director. How likely is it that terrorists may have commandeered this aircraft and done with it whatever they wanted . What do you think, bob . Well, you know, thats sheer speculation at this point. I always discount the conspiracy theory, but now that its clear, its fairly clear that this planes been diverted and somebody with knowledge of a boeing 777 did divert it, its terrorism or someone in the crew had other motivations. Thats what the cia is looking at, who on that plane would have an interest in crashing it into the krouground or stealing it . Theyre going through the passenger list, theyre founding on the malays to give them full disclosure on who got on the airplane. Who else besides the two iranians got on with fake passports, there could be others . And then looking at the chinese individual passengers trying to figure out motivations. Theres a lot they have to go through. Theres a paragraph, tom, that jumped out at me from todays wall street journal lead story. Ill put it up on the screen. U. S. Counterterrorism officials are pursuing the possibility that a pilot or someone else on board the plane may have diverted it toward an undisclosed location after intentionally turning off the jetliners transponders to avoid radar detection, according to one person tracking the probe. At one briefing, according to this person, officials were told investigators are actively pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted, quote, with the intention of using it later for another purpose. That sounds, you know, obviously we have no confirmation of that, but if thats what u. S. Officials are briefing various National Security types, that would be explosive. It would be, wolf. Youre talking about not crashing it into the ocean, not crashing it into land but taking it somewhere where it could land without detection and mentioned that indonesia has 17,000 islands, but the radius, given the flight, fuel and speed of that aircraft, if it was in one piece and flying capable, you could go 3,000 miles. So that plane could be on the ground, it could have been taken back east, they could have turned the direction route again and landed in the philippines or Northern Australia or taken it to ind xwra or taken it to another part of china. The areas of possible landing, now you have to look at is there a flat open area big enough to do that . But the other thing about if youre going to steal the aircraft, once you land it, youre going to have to be able to refuel it, service it and still have 250 people to deal with. What would you do with them . And especially youd have to make sure for another purpose. How farfetched do you think that theory is in. I think its farfetched but not completely impossible. You can take an airplane like this we used to do that in the cia, especially with helicopters. And you can fly it, use it as a weapon by flying it behind another airliner in a flight route and in an american city, for instance. So it would show up rather than two blips on a radar screen, it would show up as one. Ive seen this done with five helicopters coming in in the coast in the middle east showing up as one blip. But you know, that would take such sophistication, almost take the sophistication of a government to do that and also to beat the radar and landing this airplane, youd immediately have to cover it up before satellite coverage started the next day. Youd have to make sure theres no i. R. Coverage so they can see it at night. This is just enormously complicated. If this was an individual group like al qaeda, its a capability i cant imagine that they have obtained. Bob baer, thanks very much, tom fuentes, thanks to you as well. Were learning more and more about the data signals that flight 370 sent out for several hours after the plane disappeared. Are they significant . Our panel of experts getting ready to weigh in on that and other new developments emerging right now. Over the next 40 years the United States population is going to grow by over 90 Million People, and almost all that growth is going to be in cities. Whats the healthiest and best way for them to grow so that they really become cauldrons of prosperity and cities of opportunity . What we have found is that if that family is moved into safe, clean Affordable Housing, places that have access to great school systems, access to jobs and multiple transportation modes then the neighborhood begins to thrive and really really take off. The oxygen of Community Redevelopment is financing. And all this rebuilding that happened could not have happened without organizations like citi. And citi has formed a partnership with our company so that we can take all the lessons from the revitalization of urban america to other cities so we are now working in chicago and in washington dc and newark. Its amazing how important safe Affordable Housing is to the future of our society. The mystery vousurrounding disappearance of Malaysia Airline flight 370 is going on day eight. The military and india now expanding its search in the andaman sea toward the bay of bengal. Two navy ships and two coast guard vessels have been deployed. A reuters report suggests the plane was deliberately flown hundreds of mile Office Course toward the andaman islands in the indian ocean part of india. Thats added to suspicions about foul play. A senior u. S. Official says theres a, quote, significant likelihood the plane is at the bottom of the indian ocean but no one seems to know for sure about any of this. So there are plenty of clues out there, but no concrete answers. Our Richard Quest is joining us from new york, also joining us a veteran pilot who durcurrently flies a 777 jet. Also joining us is john goglia, an aviation safety expert. Whats your opinion of all these pings that have now been documented showing that this plane was continuing for four, maybe five hours after this transponder sending communication to air Traffic Controllers . Well, continuous pinging suggests that the plane is still in flight and still operating somewhat normally. So that would sort of rule out the idea of an inflight breakup or a crash into the sea. So if it was going for four or five hours, so it was flying would it have been flying, john, ill bring you into this conversation, would it have been flying because pilots were flying it or was there an automatic flying operation under way . Well certainly the auto pilot could still be operating. Just because they operate and opt to turn off the transponder doesnt have any effect on the auto pilot. A knowledgeable crew or knowledgeable person could certainly continue to use the auto pilot. In some ways we should be able to tell that by the tracking of the airplane. Because it is rather difficult to maintain a straight and level track with the auto pilot off. Richard, malaysian officials now confirm that two Key Communications systems were shut down separately 14 minutes apart. What does that tell us . It tells us that the two systems were either shut off or they failed. This is a crucial distinction here because and everybodys jumped to the conclusion that the transponders must have been switched off, but theres also a perfectly logical explanation that the transponders could have failed and the nature of the way in which the plane degenerated could also have led to that. Look, wolf, on this question, we are in a very, very clear area here. On the one hand you have the eastern side of this investigation still avowing the last known area of the aircraft still down towards the South China Sea. Then you have this western front which is where the uss kidd is, its where they believe that these pings have led to a plotted chart which suggests way points and if you like a managed flight path out towards the west. But to be frank, theyre not saying nobody has actually come out and said definitively, yes, it is to the west and the indian ocean. And theyre quite properly and this is crucial. Theyre quite properly, the malaysians, investigating both. Because until there is a hard fact one way or the other, they really have to deploy assets both in the South China Sea and in the indian ocean and elsewhere. Weve got to look all over the place, a huge, huge operation. This reuters report which sites unidentified sources familiar with the investigation suggests the plane was purposefully deliberate i flying toward the andaman islands in the indian ocean hundreds of miles away. If this report was true, we havent confirmed it, lets sue the reuters report is true, what would the significance of that be and how could they tell that it was deliberately going toward that location, the andaman islands . Well, the andaman islands might be located along a route to a further destination. Theres no way to tell that the andaman islands is the intended new destination. I did read the reuters report. One interesting thing was it said the radar plots of that target were going from way point to way point, which leads me to believe that an airway was reloaded in the flight Management Computer so that the airplane would track one of the published airways rather than if a destination only had been put in and direct to that destination had been entered, the aircraft would have crossed across the airways and not over any particular of the way points. So it leads me to believe that it was programmed intentionally that way. Do you agree, john, with that . Yes, i do. So what i hear both of you saying i want richard to get involved in this as well keith, let me go back to you. The more i hear from you, it sounds like foul play as opposed to some catastrophic mechanical failure caused this disaster, is that right, john . First, to you. Yes, i believe that based on what we have available to us at this moment, that it appears human intervention has taken over this airplane. And keith . Yes, human intervention, whether we want to label it foul play or, you know, something certainly occurred in the cockpit to reprogram the route. And whats the latest youre hearing from experts, richard . That the route that it took over those way points, one expert in the last hour one person said on ashleigh banfields program, theres enough way points out there that you could plot any particular route and it would seem to look at if its going over a way point. I take on board what everybodys saying. I think we come back to this core point of the reliability of these pings. Because what theyve done here, theyve taken these interrogation pings that have appeared on the radar scopes or at least on the map, theyve then plotted on top of it the route which it shows the way points and thats how theyve come up with this particular scenario. And so we do come back again, yes, its certainly looking like these gentlemen have said, looking at the facts presented here, there is a deliberate nature to its course if those pings are actually the plane. Good point, richard, thanks very much. John goglia, keith wolzinger. Thanks for your expertise. A seismic event has been reported not far from where flight 370 vanished.

Theyre delicious, and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. Wife mmmm husband these are good marge the tasty side of fiber. From phillips. In taste, freshness, and nutrition . Easy. Its eb. Egglands best. Better eggs. Its eb. Its been exactly a week since Malaysia Airline flight 370 vanished. Today investigators are sorting through new information that could possibly, possibly help find the plane. One of the possible leads happened the day the jet disappeared. Chinese researchers recorded a flight seismic event in the waters around malaysia and vietnam about an hour and a half after the flights last known contact. The event happened about 72 miles from the planes last confirmed location. Joining us now from denver is a geophysicist and seismologist with the u. S. Geological survey. Harley, thanks very much for joining us. What do you make of these chinese searchers who call the location of this flight tremor on the sea floor a nonseismic area and say it possibly could have been caused by the plane plunging into the sea . Well, based on the report this morning, we at the National EarthquakeInformation Center looked at the data in the area and using two stations on northern sumatra and two stations in malaysia, were able to find about the same origin time a seismic event, which was located off the west coast of sumatra, with a magnitude of 2. 7. This is an area that has earthquakes of this size daily. Its one of most seismically active areas of the world. And the signals they looked at and the signals we looked at were very consistent with it likely being an earthquake. So the likelihood of this being the plane is unlikely. If a plane were to plunge into the waters in those areas around that time with high velocity, what kind of seismic event if any would we expect to see . Well, in that part of the world off the coast of vietnam, we dont have that many stations, and im not sure whether wed be able to record signals seismically, we might, but it might be on one or two stations. Were more likely to see the impact of an airplane into the sea on hydroacoustic arrays, basically cables that run on the ocean bottom and can measure pressure waves in the ocean or on infrasound, when you have an explosion it produced a wave in the atmosphere that can be recorded. We dont have that Data Available to us. But from looking at just the seismic data from malaysia and in northern sumatra, what we locate is very consistent with where we expect earthquakes, and it looks like a natural occurring earthquake off the west coast of sumatra. So it looks like another false lead, the chinese experts have provided to us. I really appreciate your expertise, harley, thanks very much, harley benz joining us from the u. S. Geological survey.

Well get back to the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Malaysian Airliner in a moment, but theres other Important News were watching right now. As Russian Troops patrol the crimean peninsula, diplomats are scrambling for a lastditch solution to the crisis in ukraine. Sunday voters will decide whether to decide to remain part of ukraine or to go to russia. John kerry met with his russian counterpart in london for six hour, then had tough words. Listen. If russia does establish facts on the ground that increase tensions or that threaten the ukraine people, then obviously, that will beg an even greater response, and there will be costs. Lets go straight to Nick Paton Walsh who is joining us from simferopol in crimea right now. The Russian Foreign minister also spoke out and putin is now speaking in a phone conversation he had Vladimir Putin with the u. N. Secretarygeneraluz,ykxuja warning for the spiral here where as you mentioned yourself, referring to how they agreed to stay in contact. The referendum will be legal and they spend to recognize it. It is bizarre how diplomacy has failed ahead of the vote and i think john kerry wants to try to hold some sort of hope out. It seems given the final timing to Vladimir Putin, there could be sanctions or response from the International Community on monday after the referendum is held. He did seem to want to wait for the skigz as to whether or not he will accept crimea into russia before this larger response happens. That leaves it to the russian period to make that call. We dont know when he will do it. Its clear that what is happening is happening at his behest and whether he will seize that opportunity to not welcome crimea into the federation and we will have to see. How worried are people where you are. The Russian Troops wont simply stop in crimea when which is part of ukraine and move easterly and take over other parts of ukraine. Interestingly enough, here people are most of the time fairly relaxed. The pro ukrainians are here and they are worried about the idea of a foreign army. Its a surreal world in the government. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, as you point out, the key focus is on the east of ukraine. The Russian Troops conducting exercises on the border. The violence that killed person and another strong eastern city whether pro russians and the fear as we heard, john kerry expounded upon that and russia is eying up ukraine. A lot of them concerned that the troop movements and i think also how we are hearing similar assurances that we heard before the intervention that have no intention of moving into eastern ukraine. That is not coming obviously because it wasnt honored when it came to the case of crimea. On the scene for us, we will continue to check back with you. Clearly we will see what happens on sunday with the referendum that takes place and what follows. When we come back, waiting and wondering in malaysia. Families express frustration over the lot of plane. Many are building a tribute to their missing loved ones. Thinking up gamechanging ideas, like this dozens of tax free zones across new york state.

Hundreds of people are coming here to leave messages on this wall of hope set up inside. You cant feel it, but you know its there. That is the message that until they find this plane, they are going to hold on to the hope. There is a message from the Family Member of the daughter of one of the passengers. It says dad, i miss you, please come back. Many, many messages it seems from Family Members and simply from passengers passing through about to board their own planes saying please come back. Mandarin and cant these, arabic and japanese. This message here, with love from the secretaries from the company that runs this airport. You are in our thoughts every minute.
