And ice age how it took a winter this severe to bring these sailors out of hibernation, and back to a sport we rarely get to see that is not for the faint of heart. Nightly news begins now. Good evening, tonight, people tell world over are asking the same question, how is it possible that a jumbo jet has disappeared without a trace . Tonight, the search has expanded over a large area for a large aircraft, a boeing triple 7 among the safest ever made. This one with 239 souls on board. There were false alarms over the weekend, a fuel slick on the water, what looked like an aircraft door but they did not pan out. And because they have to chase down even the wildest possible theories the search continues on sea and on land in case this aircraft went on flying even thought left no electronic trail behind. Tonight, the search is being conducted by ten nations, 34 planes, 48 vessels have been deployed in this. We begin our coverage tonight among our correspondents and experts domestically and overseas with nbcs tom costello, good evening. Reporter hi, brian, the mere fact that they have not found a trace of the plane yet is raising the possibility that they have been looking in the wrong place. Now with daybreak, the search is expanded to include the west coast of malaysia and the waters off indonesia. Off the coast of malaysia, the search for flight 370 now has entered its fourth day, dozens of ships and helicopters and planes are running a grid like search between the waters of malaysia and vietnam. So far, the debris spotted over the weekend turned out to be false leads, now, the search is expected to get more difficult. It will make search conditions more challenging, but i can tell you our radars are very advanced and they can actually negate a lot of that surface clutter, but it does present a challenge for the Big International effort. Reporter the last reported location for the boeing triple 7 was over the water half way between malaysia and vietnam. But with the malaysia military radar suggesting the plane may have started to turn back, the search zone is including malaysias mainland and now waters to the west. Our aim to find the aircraft will be intensified. And that is very, very important. Reporter among the questions tonight, why would the plane not turn back, and why didnt the crew radio air Traffic Controllers . A former senior ntsb investigator said a sudden loss of cabin pressure could have stopped the crew and passengers we know seconds while the plane could have continued flying. You really have to start looking at a trajectory path, at a speed and altitude that they were at, how far could it go . Well, of course it had several hours of fuel left, but you have to be realistic. You have to come up with at least a rated descent. Reporter if the plane went down on land an emergency transmitter beacon should be sending the signals. But if the plane went down in the sea the under water pingers attached to the black boxes should be sending a homing signal. These devices are designed to activate in the water. Once active they produce a brief pulse once a second for 30 days at a depth of up to 20,000 feet. Reporter meanwhile, the fbi is helping to analyze the thumb prints of two individuals who were thought to have used stolen european passports to board the plane. Nbc justice correspondent pete williams. Authorities say an iranian businessman who used to live in thailand bought the tickets for the two men and wanted the cheapest flights possible and didnt mention a specific flight. Even though the individual was from iran, there is no reason to believe it was terrorism, u. S. Officials say. Reporter again, the plane had a few hours of fuel on board when it began so that greatly expands the range of where it could be. But so far no reports of a plane crash or debris from any eyewitnesss. Tom costello, covering the aviation, starting us off from our d. C. Room, thank you as always. And tonight, were joined by greg fife, a veteran of these investigations. As a former senior air director with the ntsb who also happens to be a veteran pilot. Greg, youre in the business of ruling nothing out. Although if this were submitted for a hollywood script it would be rejected for being too incredible. If we were looking for this over land, doesnt this mean it could have possibly be like the pro golfer Payne Stewart who was on board that small aircraft . They were overcome by something and the plane went on flying, although in this case, with no electronic trail. Absolutely, brian, you bring up an important point, if the airplane had an explosive decompression, and hurt the crew, it has to be expanded to include land. Because if it goes into the jungle it can be enveloped into the dense jungle and not be seen readily. We have a whole report on this later in the broadcast, but are you as frustrated by the limits of technology in this day and age as we civilians are . Absolutely, brian, we have had this discussion over the years in the industry. Now, there is new technology that is being incorporated into the airplanes called the automated dependence surveillance broadcast, and it is updated, gps, but is not mandated universally around the world right now. Greg fife, formerly the ntsb, thank you for joining us tonight. For the families of the missing on flight 370, as you can imagine it has been an awful few days. Imagine not having a bit of information about a Family Member on that flight. Nbcs keir simmons is on scene in kuala lumpur, from where flight 370 came from. Good evening. Reporter good evening, brian, those who had loved ones on flight 370 have been waiting at this airport for many days now, but not just here. Many more have been waiting in beijing, the aircrafts final destination. For Family Members of those on the missing plane, no answers, no comfort. For some, the frustration was too much. Water bottles thrown at Airline Officials in beijing, malaysians are liars, one man shouted. Others pled for calm. There were passengers from a dozen other countries, as well, including three from the united states. Philip wood of texas works for ibm. His brother said on today he had just recently been home for a visit. It was a gift that we did get to see him a whole week and we got to spend some quality time eating a dinner or two together. Reporter this person lived in pittsburgh. Neighbors are heartbroken. I have been crying since i got the call. Reporter Greg Candelaria was booked on the flight but cancelled at the last minute. I consider it a grace of god. I was not on that plane. Reporter hundreds of others were, and here in kuala lumpur, candles and prayers for the missing. But what people want most are answers. And at first light we plan to join one of the search and rescue aircraft over the ocean looking for clues, brian, of exactly what happened. Kier simmons, in kuala lumpur. And again later in the broadcast a special look at the frustrations of technology here. And now to our top story here, much of the last two weeks the ongoing crisis in ukraine. There were shots fired at a Ukraine Naval post in crimea today. It is the latest confrontation since Russian Military groups seized control of the peninsula. Meanwhile today, nato announced it will start reconnaissance flights to the southwest monitoring the Ukraine Border with the aircraft. Ukraine is not a nato member but russias actions have alarmed countries that are part of the alliance and were once part of the soviet union. We turn now to syria, where the brutal civil war is about to enter its fourth year and where the devastating toll is being felt especially hard by the children caught up in the conflict. A new report out says over 4 million children need humanitarian assistance. More than one million have fled to neighboring countries. Tonight as we kick off a series of reports on the forgotten children in this war in syria, our chief medical examiner, dr. Nancy snyderman has made her way to lebanon just across the border. She is at a hospital caring for these youngest victims, nancy, good evening. Reporter good evening, brian, this war has brought a decimation to the hospital structure in syria, and that is one reason why many are crossing into lebanon, im in a small, 32bed hospital with 27 incubators, which tells you now this is a pediatric crisis. Mothers are not getting prenatal care, and babies are very vulnerable. In the last week that ive been here i saw more birth defects than i saw in my entire residency. This is an escalating crisis, and if we dont fix this soon as a global humanitarian crisis, im not so sure where the future of syria will be. Right now, almost 18 of the people who cross the border are seen at the hospital and it is bulging at the scenes. Were going to take you behind the scenes of this hospital and surrounding refugee camps, brian, for a firsttime look with amazing access to highlight the forgotten of this war, syrias children. Brian . Dr. Nancy snyderman who has made her way to lebanon, dr. Nancy snyderman thank you. Our series of reports starts tomorrow morning on today and across all the broadcasts and platforms of nbc news. In this country it has been 15 months since a gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in newtown, connecticut and started to shoot in classrooms that were full of 6 and 7yearolds before killing himself. Tonight for the first time we are getting new insights into adam lanza from his father, peter, who spoke with journalist and author, arthur solomon, for an article. We get our report from National Correspondent kate snow. Reporter adam lanza killed 26 children, six staff, himself and his mother. How does peter lanza live with that . It is incredibly difficult. He is full of sadness, he only wishes he could go back in time and fix it or change it. Peter lanza sought out arthur solomon after reading his book. Peter lanza sought out him after the crimes. Does he feel like he is to blame . He doesnt feel like he is to blame. He feels like even with all the information put out there he doesnt see how he could have possibly seen it coming. Solomon interviewed him for 26 hour, the father painting a picture of the son, calling him just a normal, weird kid. At 13, he was diagnosed with aspergers since syndrome, his family tried to get him help. Peter now believes that the asperger masked or conditions. I think his parents failed to realize and perhaps his doctors failed to realize the darkness that was brewing because they were distracted by the autism. Reporter his exwife, nancy lanza, wanted everyone to think everything was okay. He didnt know she was communicating with him by ema emails, his windows covered in black plastic. I didnt understand that adam was drifting away, says peter lanza, he continued to send him birthday cards but last saw his son two years before the newtown shootings. He knew there were guns inside but was not concerned. He described teaching adam to drive, he was very, very cautious, it never occurred to his father he would break the rules. Reporter peter lanza wishes now he pushed harder to see his son. Even if it had caused fights it could not be worse than what did happen. You cant get anymore evil, lanza told solomon, adding he wished his son had never been born. Do you think adam hated his parents . In the end, i think adam hated everyone. I mean, he killed his mother and his father said i know he would have shot me in a heart beat if he would have had the opportunity. He said the reason he shot nancy four times was once for each of us, once for nancy, once for ryan, once for me, and one for himself. Peter lanza has met with two of the victims families and offered to meet them all. He told him he wants all parents to be afraid that it could happen to them. On our website he posted what he said are lessons for parents. Maybe the most disturbing story in recent memory, kate snow, thank you for your reporting tonight. Still ahead tonight as the search intensifies for this missing jetliner, how it left without a trace. Sifies for this missing jetliner, how it left without a trace.

[ male announcer ] look for the easyopen red arthritis cap. Back as promised with more on this disappearing of the flight 370, and the questions that came from the start when we first learned about it friday night. How is it possible a wide body aircraft has disappeared without an electronic ping, without a locater beacon, without a trace of any sort . Nbcs Stephanie Gosk has more on the limitations of our technology. Reporter the last known location of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 was over the china sea, after that it disappeared. But here is something people dont realize. Every flight crossing a large body of water disappears at least for a little while throughout the journey. Tom casey is an International Pilot for american airlines. The only way in certain parts of the world where they can locate your position is by knowing where your last position was and what your next position was predicted to be. Reporter here is why, radar only tracks planes when they are over land or at least when they are 120 miles near land. Take a flight from new york on its way to chicago. The radar can pinpoint the flight along the two and a half hour trip, seven different control towers track the flight. But when a flight takes off for london from new york, once it is 120 miles offshore the plane uses gps to determine its exact location and then has to communicate those coordinates to controllers on the ground. For many, the gap between communications can be as long as an hour, and flight awareness tracks them all hours throughout the day. The reality, theyre finding them with all sorts of technology and getting the data back to controllers is difficult. Reporter the technology does exist to track a plane during every minute of every flight but it is not an easy solution. It would require a less expensive transmission of data on the satellites which is not really on the horizon, doesnt seem viable. Reporter so what happened to Malaysia Airlines flight 370 remains a mystery. Does it make sense in 2014 that this is happening . It doesnt make sense, that is what has everybody scratching their heads. Reporter knowing where it went down is only half of the battle. They still have to figure out why, Stephanie Gosk, nbc news. New york. Well take a break, well be right back in a moment with the story of a man who actually got to drive a ford with the original henry ford.

Enbrel is clinically proven to provide clearer skin. Many people saw 75 clearance in 3 months. And enbrel helped keep skin clearer at 6 months. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ woman ] finally, clearer skin for more than a few days, weeks, or months. Enbrel works for me. Ask your dermatologist if you can have clearer skin with enbrel. Something to remember tonight, starting with William Clay Ford who died over the weekend, the last surviving grandchild of henry ford, and once famously steered a car while driving in his famous grandfathers lap. He was a yale graduate, a navy veteran who married a member of the firestone family. While he never ran the detroit lions, he bears the family name, he was a company man, a major stockholder and served on the board of ford motor for 57 years. William clay ford was 88 years old. And bill guarnere has died, the men who served with him in easy company at the second battalion, during world war ii, knew him better as wild bill. Their exploits were popularized in the hbo series band of brothers in which he was played by the actor, frank john hughes, he lost his leg rescuing a fellow soldier and was awarded the silver star, two bronze stars and the purple heart. South philadelphia native wild bill guarnere was 90 years old. And when we come back, an upside to a brutal winter. The need for speed on a frozen sheet of ice. We miss out on what matters today.

Finally here ton finally here tonight, it was in the 70s in the dakotas this weekend, only to fall 40plus degrees with the next front and the east coast could get at least one more snowstorm before this is all over. For those in the thick of it, it has been a miserable winter, from the great lakes to many major rivers so much is still frozen over. But that in itself is rare good news for one exotic beautiful and thrilling sport. Tonight, nbcs katy tur reports on the ice boaters who are having a great season. Reporter on a cold march morning the frozen hudson river was transformed into a playground. Unbelievable. It is a rush reporter that is when you can get it at all. It has been ten years since the ice was a foot thick and Strong Enough to hold the big boats on the hudson, nearly a century since the rocket sailed, built in 1888 the rocket was once the fastest thing on the planet, a body like a cross bow with 50 foot sails, all supported on three thin metal blades. But such a marvel, tom edison filmed it in 1945. Fantastic, especially when you work on it so hard. Reporter in the basement of new jerseys ice boat and yacht club, he led years of restoration, piecing the craft back together. And with the crack of the champagne bottle it was off.

Conditions dont have to be just right, they have to be perfect. First, you need a whole lot of cold. Then some snow and rain and then even more cold. Then you have to have wind and cant have too much wind. Reporter and that precise combination almost never happens. You have to be awful stubborn. Yes, you sure do. Reporter they have been chasing a strong wind and hard freeze on this river for generations. Here, when every gust of wind, every pull of the ropes, every ride could be your last you learn it is now or never. Katy tur, nbc news, red hook, new york.
