ebersol said through it all, writing saved his life. you have to find something that can sustain you and keep you mentally strong. for me it was writing and the quest to get published. cnn reporting. police need your help to find a driver of an suv that rear ended a car sending it smashing into a day care center. several children were hit as the car plowed into the front of the building. a 4-year-old girl dies, 14 children were hurt. the driver of the car stayed at the scene but the dodge durango kept going. the police believe the driver is this man. he allegedly ditched the durango and may be driving a rented mazda suv. coming up, we re answering your questions about altitude
tried to avoid malaysian radar. then it drops down to 4,000 and perhaps too early comes back again, so it is picked up on radar. that is the 4,000-foot theory. there are those who choose to believe it and those who says it doesn t hold much weight. we don t know. what do you think? i am still skeptical. i think there were altitude changes. i think there is no question there were altitude changes. but the levels involved and the severity, because let me put it another way. why go down when you ve already been painted over malaysia? does it give us a clue whether it was a mechanical disaster on that plane or it was a criminal act by someone? the conspiracyists will say it can only mean one thing. i m sticking right in the middle. richard quest, good work as usual. thank you. we re also just hearing now of
saying eventually week able to get cooperation from all the different countries for the radar data. but he wouldn t say how many turns the aircraft had made. or if any altitude changes. the question there about whether or not the families of the first officer and the captain who have so far not been able to hear that voice data, been able to hear the conversation for the cockpit between the air traffic controllers which would help identify who was giving the last signoff there good night, malaysia 370. again saying investigation and that s why the families haven t been able to hear it yet. the families of the first officer and pilot. perhaps the information was coming from the ceo of malaysia airlines talk about the batteries in the pingers. the pingers attached to the black boxes. the concern that the batteries were due for change some time ago. he said, no, their scheduled maintenance was coming up in
the 24th into the south indian ocean, then that would have been the day that the ping started. and we are now 30 days from that coming up at 1:30 today. let s get more from cnn s nic robertson. he s live in kuala lumpur, malaysia right now. nic, anything stand out to you regarding this news conference, and what else are you learning today? yeah, we have two questions from the news conference from cnn s staff and really not particularly forthcoming answers from hasan mudmean. asking him if there were altitude changes, really key and important information that a lot of people are asking for. the acting transport minister stirred it around that.
g ings. it has to be done. the other thing we has been told is there is altitude changes. the detail of that varies a little bit. but some have that altitude down to 12,000 feet but a of possible decompression event. but the issue is, if the plane is in the southern indian ocean, and we re now getting more and more evidence that s where it is, the plane would have had to have been up at cruising altitude of 35,000 feet for it to reach that particular location 2,500 kilometers southwest of perth. if it was much lower, it would have never got that far south. that is if it s there. according to the mathematics, they believe it s there. but that s not sure. tom, what are you hearing from your sources about the fbi investigation into the pilot and co-pilot? don, first of all i received a call today, it was a return call from a very senior
