For real . Cheers. If you drop your food on the floor, how much time do you actually have before you can no longer eat it . The new study, this morning. Good morning, everybody. Were distracted by the fivesecond rule. Well finally address this. Cheers. Only sara can make dropping food on the ground, an occasion. First, we have a lot of new details to tell you about in what has become the worlds most baffling aviation mystery ever. The investigation focusing on the pilot and the copirate. The captain ahmed shah. There are questions this morning about his ties to a controversial political party. And the copilot, fariq abhamid, who lived at home with his parents. Friends and family say he was religion and serious about his career. He had 2,700 hours of flying. And officials were shocked when they saw him flying with young ladies in the cockpit during flight. The search area is now massive. Its focused on two, huge areas. The red arcs you see on your screen. A northern arc stretches over land, from kazakhstan and turkmenistan. And the southern arc, into the indian ocean. 25 countries now involved in this huge search. Of course, we have Team Coverage this morning. We start with a closer look at the men behind the controls of flight 370. And whether anything in their personal lives provide clues into this great mystery. Bob woodruff is in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur. We learned that the pilots did not make a special request for fuel. The investigators are looking at all those onboard, especially those with aviation experience. This morning, investigators are Digging Deeper into information about the crew members, engineers, ground crew, passengers and the two pilots. Investigators, in unmarked cars, spent the last two days going in and out of the gated neighborhood, for the 53yearold pilot, captain ahmed shah. Four security guards keeping reporters from getting in. Youre not allowed anybody in . Any media in . No way . Theyre concentrating on his Flight Simulator inside his house. Studying two laptops found inside. A friend of his, peter chong, told me today, the captain is considered a tech geek, who invited other friends to play with it. To do things off the counter and set up his own Flight Simulator. Yeah. And something hes proud of. Reporter in addition to technology, chong says he loves cooking. Even building this soccer goal for kids. But also politics. Peter is the private secretary of the opposition party. And zaharie is a member. Despite this tshirt, democracy is dead, he says the pilot is far from extreme. We both know position in the party. Reporter last night, police searched the home of the copilot looking for clues. But hours before the police arrived, we watched his two brothers leave with a box of noodles and drinks. As for personality, according to australias channel 9, a current affair, invited these women in the cockpit in 2011. His friends who grew up in his hometown, as a rising singer and insist that fariq is completely innocent. Fariq is a very nice guy. And hes too young. So, i dont think hes involved. Reporter the families are closely watching every piece of information. The brother of american passenger, phillip wood, says, they are just waiting too long. Weve gone from shock and disbelief, to sadness, to a little bit of anger, frankly. And i think theres a little bit of a drive to get some answers. Were trying really hard to understand whats going on. Reporter theres more information this morning, as welt, about that Flight Simulator. They did remove those two laptops. But they also took out the simulator itself, to take it apart and reassuesemble it agaio see what they can find. Searching for my clues. Bob, our thanks to you. And taking control of the Malaysian Airlines jet would require strong knowledge of the aircraft. Was there anyone onboard that could know how to operate the planes sophisticated system. Pierre thomas has more from washington. What are you hearing . Reporter good morning. U. S. Intelligence has been looking at the passengers and crew for a week now. Malaysian Officials Say they continue to investigate passengers. But sources tell us the pilots are one of the early primary focuses. The reason . A plane did a series of maneuvers and may have been trying to evade radar. Theres been no evidence any of the other passengers and crew had significant flight training. So, what do they know now, pierre . Reporter theyre relying on the malaysians for information. But the fbi has not been invited inside the country to help on the ground. And some in the u. S. Government are perplexed by the malaysians seem to be so slow in their investigation. Pierre, thank you. To the other major angle on this story. The massive search for the plane itself. This morning, investigators are scrambling to get a clearer picture of the planes lastknown maneuvers to try to zero in on the best place to look for it. Abcs david kerley is in washington with more on that. David, good morning. Reporter whats unusual, is we got some satellite pings. They have set up a couple of corridors that normally we wouldnt have known about. And let me show you where those are. One goes to the north and one goes to the south. This is not gps. They couldnt say exactly where the aircraft was. But it is the southern route that investigators are concentrating on. One source tells us, they believe that this aircraft went off the grid and into the ocean some place off australia. And thats where they will be concentrating. And one more important information, that we have learned that this was a deliberate act. This morning, we have learned from one source that the first dramatic turn off course by the malaysian 777 was preprogrammed. Whatever was at the controls, programmed that hard left turn. Followed by turning off two critical Communication Systems, as first reported by abc news. Somebody made this happen. And somebody had to sophisticated flying skills, probably for the 777. The suspicion falls on the two pilots. Reporter and Law Enforcement is saying basically, the same thing. While a hijacking has not been ruled out, pilot suicide is getting a lot of attention. Part of the reason, the way the jet was flown. Turning left, then west, but then where . Satellite communications suggest wide paths. But then likely, it headed south, into the indian ocean. Flying almost six hours after it was last seen on radar. Its consistent with someone who wanted to vanish from the face of the earth. And make sure the crash site was never found. Reporter did one of the pilots kill the other . Its possible. Why didnt the passengers rebel . Whoever was flying could have depressurized the cabin. Those oxygen masks only work for a few minutes. With the search narrowed off the west coast of australia, finding this jet is not going to be easy. Its going to take some luck to find any evidence at all. Reporter as i say, investigators tell us say they are looking off australia. The southern route is the most likely. A puzzling piece of information came out this morning. Apparently whoever was in control, shut off one of the Communication Systems before getting on the radio and telling the air Traffic Controllers in malaysia, good night. If youre trying to be dark, and basically disappear, this is a strange little piece of information we got this morning. Another strange piece of information. David kerley, thanks for tracking all of this for us. Lets bring in steve ganyard. We have 25 countries involved in this search. Given the huge swath of the planet theyre looking at here, what are the odds theyll find anything . Quite well. And every day we go on, the odds get lower because this is a vast area we have to look at. David pointed out today, they were finally starting to focus on the southern cone. But thats a wideopen indian ocean. With depths of 15,000 feet. We have about 20 days left before that pinger runs out. It will be really tough to find it. Are there any places, any islands, where they could have landed the plane . Short answer is no. They were so far out, so far west of australia, perhaps 1,000 miles out to the west of australia. And they were at the very limit of their gas. There wasnt enough gas to get anywhere. I find that im sure a lot of people will agree, hard to compute. If youre smart enough and qualified to evade radar and fly for that length of time and that length that span of distance, why just crash it into the ocean . Why not land it . This is the question of motive. And your guess is as good as mine. We havent seen any political statements. Is it terrorism . Is it a statement about internal politics . Was an Insurance Scheme going on here . Your guess is as good as mine right now, dan. Have you ever seen anything like this . This gets more bizarre and more mysterious every day. We need some answers. And theyre not going to come until we find the black boxes. Which you said, we may never find them. We may never. Steve ganyard, we appreciate your guidance throughout this. Imagine how devastating this is for all of the loved ones. Brutal. Thank you. Were going to turn, now, to the latest on the crisis in crimea, where tensions are high, as residents vote today on breaking away from ukraine and become part of russia. Its been condemned as illegal. And Alex Marquardt is covering the vote from ukraine. Alex . Reporter good morning, bianna. It had been a gray and wet morning in crimea. That hasnt stopped large numbers of crimean voters to turning out for this election, whether to succeed from ukraine and join russia. We wont know the preliminary results until later tonight. But theyre all but a foregone conclusion. We assume that crimean voters will vote to join russia. We spoke with a young voter this morning who excitedly told me that its like going home. He is ethnically russia and wants to live in russia. The minority of crimeans are against this, are boycotting, staying at home. Saying like the u. S. , this is an illegitimate vote. But concern is visiting to eastern ukraine, where theres evidence of a largescale invasion. Theres troops along the border with ukraine. And moscow is warning that it is considering calls to intervene. Dan . Bianna . Tensions are escalating. Lets bring in the host of this week, george stephanopoulos. I talked to the foreign minister of ukraine, what did he think as far as war with russia . He says the chance s are very high. He sees the seizure of the natural gas plant. Thats the big fear right now. The russians are not satisfied with the referendum in crimea. And move them towards moscow. That could set off a civil war. That could split the country. And theres precious little right now. It appears that the rest of the world can do about it. I wanted to ask you about that. What kind of leverage does the white house have . Theres talk of sanctions. What are the sanctions . And is there history of sanctions working . These are going to be the most extensive sanctions against russia since the cold war. Theyll put a freeze on assets and visas for highlevel russians, including those inside and outside the government. When you have a country like russia that is so large, and they have so many other ways to get the resources they need, its unlikely that sanctions alone can do this job. But the hope is, if the west unites, around this idea, russia can at least be deterred from moving further in eastern ukraine. And here domestically, the president seems to have support from republicans and democrats to act in some way. The foreign minister and the acting Prime Minister of ukraine, were here meeting with the president last week. They met with both parties and got supportive news from them. Its gotten bogged down in domestic policy in the senate. One of the questions going forward, if russia moves, will the United States move to give military aid to ukraine. Thats a tougher question. It was disturbing to talk to the foreign minister. To see if he talked to his counterpart in russia. He says he cant get through to him. George, thank you. George will have much more and all this matter later on this week. A lot of other news overnight. And for the latest on that, lets get it over to ron claiborne. Good morning, everyone. We begin with the minivan recall. Honda is recalling 800,000 odyssey minivans because of a potential hazard. It affects model year 2005 through 2010. Part of the fuel pump cover would deteriorate prematurely. Honda has tried to fix the issue. But the, quote, proper parts will not be available until this summer. You will be given an interim part. The automaker says it doesnt aware of fires or injuries as a result of this problem. Now, to venezuela, where there was another round of violent clashing between antigovernment protesters and police in caracas. The protesters threw molotov cocktails at the police. This m cos after the countrys president warned demonstrators he would send security forces. Protesters have taken over part of that country. 25 people died since the protests when high crime, inflation and Food Shortages began last month. And a third person has been charged with the murder of a socialite. Kathy carpenter who reported the death, is now charged with firstdegree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. She was found in her chalet after an extended trip to australia. A married couple who were renting the home have also been charged in that murder. And former new york city mayor and billionaire businessman, michael bloomberg, is opening up to katie couric, for the First Time Since he left office at the beginning of this year. Bloomberg sat down for a wideranging interview with kate to courics Debut Program on yahoo news. And viewers got to ask some questions during the interactive sitdown. Among the topics, bloombergs controversial new york city soda ban. The drink thing was not banning and not taxing anybody. It was simply reminding you that its enormous quantity, 32 ounces. Why dont you take 2 16s. Banning sodas bigger than 16 ounces. And you can watch the interview with katie couric on yahoo news. Com. And the navys blue angels are soaring once again. The blue and gold jets returned to the skies over california saturday, after being grounded much of the past year because of spending cuts. The team behind the iconic aerobattic performance is scheduled for 68 performances across the country. Catch one of them. And finally, that time of year when just about everybody feels just a little bit irish. Dancing and irish river dancing. More of that later in the show. In pennsylvania, gaelic pride was on display for the annual st. Patricks day trade in pittsburgh. And in chicago, people line up for an annual tradition. The Chicago River turning emerald green. And in minneapolis, kids donning their costumes for something called the wee leprechaun contest, to raise money for charity. I forgot it was that time of the year. Its so cold. Right. Its actually tomorrow. Getting tuned up early. For cold weather, you can have something they call antifreeze. I heard about that. You heard about that . Thank you, ron. Now, to a turning scientific question, especially if you have children. Is the fivesecond rule for real . You know what im talking about. The supposed window of opportunity you have to snatch a chip or a cracker off the floor before its too dirty to eat. Theres a new study out. And sara haines is here with scientific answers. This is a rule ive used more than i like to admit. And i just did. Youre trying to do too many things at once. Stuff drops. Often, i pick it up, brush it off and eat it. I live by the fivesecond rule. Am i fueliooling myself . Weve all been there. Youre juggling too many things. Fivesecond rule . Not just Jennifer Anistons character in along came polly. The flood i love so much that if i dropped it on the floor and would eat ate anyway, is a nacho. Is there any truth to it. At a preliminary study in birmingham, u. K. , they discovered a direct link to the bacteria on the food to the time its been on the floor. The key to the fivesecond rule is know where it dropped and use good judgment. Reporter where would you use the fivesecond rule . In the office . In the park . Why not . In the subway . Thats not going to happen. In the bathroom . Not that hungry. Not all five seconds are created equal. Sometimes its not where youre eating but what youre eating. If i dropped anything sticky, such as candy, pasta, i would not pick it up and eat it off the floor. If you drop some toast on the floor, probably not going to kill you. Reporter now, were off to do our own highly analytical scientific study, bringing you what the people have to say. Do you ever use the fivesecond rule on food . Yes. Yes. Reporter where is it okay . If its in your house. Everywhere. No. Reporter do you eat off the floor . No. Reporter cheers. Thats delicious. Reporter not bad. In our highly scientific analytical doubleblind study that we did in the park, we found out that threequarters of the people that we asked, actually do use it. The number one place you should never use it is the sidewalk. Because i didnt want to leave you out. I brought you cashews from the shoot. Ive been erratic about this. Now that im a mom, im a 25second rule. You know what im talking about. We did studies. And dan confirmed this possibly. You actually might have more than five seconds. Even though we say five seconds, you have forgiveness. Not all five seconds are created equal. They are not. We have to check the forecast. We have more than five seconds for that. Erica martin from our new haven, connecticut, affiliate is here. Erika, good morning. Weve been tracking this low since yesterday, that developed in texas. As we said yesterday, we did see the possibility of some severe weather. And in fact, here is some hail that youre seeing in texas. About dimesized hail.

But some teens took it to a new and disturbing direction. The kids had a bracketstyle beauty contest to rank female classmates. And gio benitez is on the story this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. It happened at one of the stop high schools of america, shaker high, in albany, new york. But this morning, a firestorm over a questionable bracket challenge. Even the police got involved. This morning, online outrage, after students at this top new york high school, launched a march madness bracket challenge like no other. Forget basketball teams. Guys tock to twitter to rank girls at the school, by their looks. I was disgusted. Reporter guys at the twitter account selected four girls to compete against each other for a week. Writing, may be best girl win. But almost immediately, current and former students at shaker high, wept on the offensive. Tweeting, are you kidding me . Bullying for fun . Can you be decent human beings and not do this. The principal turned to cops for guidance. But after 24 hours, the twitter account was dead. This was one of the girls listed in that bracket challenge. I would be walking down the halls. And groups of guys could start clapping. And i was embarrassed. Reporter it sounds like what we saw in youve i have the social network, about the start of facebook. Rank them. You mean students . Reporter dr. Robbie ludwig says, boys will be boys. When girls are in high school, they judge themselves by their peers. They want to be considered beautiful and attractive. If theyre not, it can influence their selfesteem. The guys thought it was funny. They dont understand what it does to us or how it makes us feel. Reporter white police were called for guidance. Were told, they are not looking at any criminal activity. Even though some seem to think that this is a form of bullying, perhaps. A lot of other news overnight. Lets get it back to ron for a look at the top stories. Good morning, everyone. In the news, begin with the latest on that missing malaysia jetliner that vanished more than a week ago. The investigators are focusing on the flight crew, looking at the backgrounds of the pilots, engineers and the ground crew. Were learning that the first dramatic turn off course was done by someone at the controls who likely had sophisticated flying skills. And a controversial referendum is under way in ukraines crimea region. The majority of the population is ethnic russian. The ukraine and the west say the vote is illegal.

Reporter yeah. Is it working . You showed a physiological response in regard to compassion. Reporter i was strong with the faces and voices i had to read. Hes excellent at reading emotions. It says so right here. Reporter science, baby. Science. However, when it came to communicating emotion, i was well below average, which might have something to do with my job. You fit your profession so well. You have an eagle eye for what other people are feeling. And youre not letting them youre not letting other people see what youre feeling. However, your wife likes that. Thats another question. Reporter yeah. I dont think my wife is a huge fan of that. Technical terms. Science, baby, science. With a little mug to the camera. In all seriousness, what is compassion meditation involving . At first its going to sound irretrievably dopey. You picture a series of people and send them good vibes. You wish them good health, happiness. The Research Shows it can change your brain and the parts of the brain that has to do with compassion and empathy. And its good for your health. It can reduce levels of stress. And its been shown to work. Little kids are more likely to give their stickers away to strangers. I picture you guys all the time when i do the meditation.
