doing our best out there, but again, this is still such a large search zone. the fact that those models in the hand didn t converge, it really has been demoralizing. they did not deny the fact that these two models were working separately. they weren t able to hone in on the new search zone until the two teams got together. the chooep chief of coordination now, angus houston, told us this morning, look, this is the most challenging search certainly he s ever been involved in. he s saying if we don t find any debris, they re going to have to review what happens next. very challenging if done the best way. the question is, is it being done the best way. let s bring in david, the cnn
this point. you had mentioned that the transcripts are available by the law, which they are. but if it s criminal investigation, then they have the right to seal whatever they want. i think that s what they re going here when they say here that the turn was a criminal act. they re trying to justify legally we don t have to release anything, we re not going to. that s kind of what i hear on the undercurrent. i don t think that you can make a persuasive argument let alone an investigative case that this is a criminal act. right. david s a little bit of a turn early on. to this point, it now seems that with everything we know, there s no reason to believe that this was intentional versus a chain of terrible, horrendous, tragic accidental events in the cockpit. i kree with you a hundred
we needed information. it took me a year to get the information from them. we had a picture of the aircraft on the satellite radar that was going on constantly around that area. it took i had to pull teeth to get information. right. there s a difference in cooperating in the effort and wanting to share information. chinese were slow, thai were slow. it s a legitimate question. david, mary, thank you for joining us. let s look at other headlines. a lot of news for you. the white house says obama care went better than expected. sign up ended at midnight. the administration says likely 7 million have enrolled. strong criticism of the post
david, what makes you think they know things their not telling everybody else because they re conducting a criminal investigation? because i ve done them before. we had one investigation where there was a murder on board the aircraft, someone brought a hammer on board and took the pilot out and killed himself and the pilot together. that was a criminal investigation. we couldn t release information even to families begging for what happened. we couldn t release until after we determined the criminal investigation was closed. wouldn t you say that? absolutely. that s a great point. that s exactly what i find fault with the malaysian government. if you can t, tell them. draw the line in the sand. it puts everybody at ease. there s nothing secret going on. this is the way we do it. that hasn t been done from the beginning. mary, do you believe action or inaction have delayed finding this airplane?
officials even confirmed that it was, all right good night, by now we have the transcript in our hand. one of the small bits of hard evidence that there really is in this entire mystery. chris? information has been hard to come by. and then every time we get it, it seems to contradict what we learned before. let s continue the discussion. we re joined now by david, a cnn safety analyst and the author of, why planes crash. he s a former faa inspector. and mary, a former inspector general, now an attorney that represents victims and families after airplane dissasters. let s pick up. when you look at the transcript and the fact that we now think we know what the final communication was, just those words don t tell us much. though, it is baffling to me it
