a low probability with high consequence event, it s hard to imagine that they knew where to look in the first instance, what would have occurred, that we d end up at this point. i think they re absolutely right. clearly the information out of the malaysian government has been inconsistent at times, misreported, not necessarily open. all that being said, this is a mystery for a reason because there isn t a clear, easy answer. greg fife and michael leiter, thank you both for your time and thoughts. you re welcome. thanks. coming up, president obama meets with democrats and tries to shake off the new title that he has gotten of late deporter and chief. meanwhile, john boehner tries to shake off a group of dreamer at his local diner again. who is winning the congressman debate? we re joined ahead. and round two of the clinton papers. the national archives released another 4,000 pages from 42 s stint in the oval office. the highlights ahead.
would shut off either a cataclysmic event or somebody did it on purpose. the transponders which transmit at tour altitude speed. they haven t found any debris in the area where the transponders were shut off, so that would suggest potentially somebody did that on purpose. greg, do you want to pick up on that, please? absolutely. tom brings up a good point. if there was an explosive decompression. let s say a window blew out or a door blew out and material was actually sucked out of the aircraft, you would expect to see even the lightest debris along the flight path. the searchers haven t found any of that, especially over the water. so given the fact that if the airplane is intact and that turn was made, that wouldn t have been made by an auto pilot because the auto pilot would have already had a preprogrammed route of flight to go to beijing and it would have continued on track. so it s evident that the course was altered and most likely altered intentionally by either one of the
to be good. it has to be good for the agency to do its job. it has to be good for the senate to do its job. putting partisan politics aside, we need and i think john recognizes this. we need strong, vigorous oversight and we need cooperation. and the place we re in now is really counterproductive for all the parties. let me ask you about the latest from malaysia air. we re going to bring in tom costello and greg fife in in a moment. there s radar indicating that the plane could have turned. there could have been an intentional u-turn and they re widening the search to a much broader area. i m going to defer to tom, the aviation expert, on all parts of this. but i think what we know from a counterterrorism perspective is that the initial lead of the two individuals using the false and stolen passports almost certainly has nothing to do with what happened to that plane, but in many ways that just leaves us more rather than less confused. and let s bring in our aviation expert tom
access and had knowledge of the systems of that airplane. all rather incredibly alarming. greg feith, tom costello, michael leiter, thank you all so very much. we ll have an update on that building collapse in new york city in harlem. more than 250 firefighters working to get this fire under control. from new york city mayor bill de blasio this hour, at least two people are confirmed dead. at least 18 were injured after the blast. we ll continue to bring you the very latest developments as we get them. stay with us right here on msnbc.

waters to the north of the indonesian island of sumatra, perhaps even in the bay of bengal or in the indian ocean. you can see here that the defined search area is now 25,000 nautical square miles. 25,000. that is massive. if you then expand into the indian ocean, it s boy, the math would just be incalculable. greg, how reliable is the information that we are getting from the malaysian military, and what is the conceivable explanation for a plane turning that way? it could not turn. the big problem right now is the inconsistency of information. they ve been filtering some of that information that they ve put out. and right now, it s proven that
