deleted. there s no necessarily nefarious explanation for that. it could be very much somebody trying to organize their files, right? reporter: exactly. my colleague evan perez has been talking to his sources. they ve told him there s no reason to believe there was nefarious intent. but of course they re still combing through the hard drive as we speak trying to obtain more information and more details about the deletions. pam, also this report by the telegraph newspaper with the communication between the cockpit and air traffic controller for the first 54 minutes or the flight, anything raising alarm bells or suspicion among people you ve talked to? . of course because we re dealing with a missing plane everything is going to be under scrutiny and picked apart. there are parts of the purported transcript obtained by the telegraph newspaper some find interesting. for one the pilot repeated the altitude twice. also the pilot didn t repeat what air traffic control said at the very en
who talked with my colleague evan perez some of the files were deleted more recently than originally disclosed by malaysian officials. so forensics experts and outside consults are working right now to find out what is in those deleted files but how they were deleted. that could be very telling if they were strategically deleted or scrubbed clean in a more sophisticated way than a routine way. on the other hand it could be very innocent, just routine deletions like something we would do on our computers and phones. if anything it tellsout fbi is finding things the malaysians could not. so maybe we ll get more thorough answers. pamela brown, appreciate that. an international flotilla headed to the search site right now as we mentioned. ships from australia and china and malaysia and the u.k. but as we told you last night here, the first ship on the scene is that big one from norway. a massive cargo ship that rerouted. haakam svene, thanks for
february 3rd. but sources are saying now that simply they were deleted more recently than originally disclosed. so forensics experts are working to find out not only what is in those deleted files but of course, how they were deleted, if they were strategically deleted or scrubbed clean in a more sophisticated way. i have to ask you, why did the malaysians tell us nothing had been deleted since february 3rd? we simply don t know. we ve been asking our sources that, we don t have an explanation. we don t know what kind of technology they were using. i want to make it clear that sources are saying that at this point there hasn t been a smoking gun found in the hard drive. this could have been just very innocent routine deletions that we all do on our computers and phones. richard quest now, transcript of the communication between the pilot has been released from the daily telegraph.

we have breaking news in our world lead about the disappearance of flight 370. there s new information about the data deleted from the flight simulator that authorities seized from the captain s house. i want to go to justice reporter evan perez. what have you learned? reporter: we learned that u.s. investigators have been examining the hard drives, as you know, seized from the two pilots and the hard drive belonging to the captain has yielded some information that appears it appears that they deleted some information someone deleted information after february 3rd, which is when, as you might remember, malaysian authorities have said they noticed some deletions done from the hard drive. we don t know and what investigators are trying to figure out is who made those deletions, when particularly the deletions were made and whether they went right up to the departure of the flight and whether or not there s anything nefarious in this.
