a lot don t make sense. reporter: that makes it tough on farmers like erskin and his son. don t be a farmer. government gets in the way. they are hoping senate will pass a water bill. it s already been passed in the house. they came to protest appeals court decision on delta smelt that came down last week that will continue protections for the tiny fish. as you can imagine, jenna, environmentalists are celebrating that decision. good perspective for us, will. a very important story out of california that affects us all. thank you so much. a former pilot flying passengers on september 11th joins us next to talk about the missing malaysian airlines jet. what he says about the transponder being turned off and what we can learn from the simulator seized from the pilot s home. plus, president obama pushing latinos to sign up for obamacare and making promises to those here illegally. tell you about this, bull on the
minutes that are the key to understanding what happened. and you basically say the original report that came from malaysian authorities that had the transponder being turned off before the final vocal contact from the cockpit would indicate very strongly that the focus of suspicion would be on the pilots, themselves. they did something to turn the transponder off, said hey, okay, good night and gone on their way. the fact the transponder goes out now in the new timeline after that final vocal contact, you think, is really important. yes, i think that shows you two things. it shows how unfirm the information is that they re putting out, that they would do something as radical as changing that key part of this timeline. a timeline is a very essential instrument in building a picture of what s happening. the chronology of what s happened. because the sequence of how things happen is a key to understanding how a plane can crash, or a plane in this case can disappear. you know, chris, i t
altitude that aircraft is at. specifically these altitudes, 29,500 feet. that s pretty accurate. when you are in the middle of the south china sea and there is no primary radar coverage and you lose altitude, ascertaining what height that aircraft is at, at any point beyond the transponder being turned off is incredibly difficult. even with primary radar trying to triangulate. michael thanks. stick around. you will be back with us a little later in the show. coming up the frantic search for flight 370 continues. could the missing airliner have actually landed somewhere? and could those passengers still be alive? stay w

hide. so professor what you are saying is when they heard all right with nights that was after agard is turned off which is more difficult to do than what we already know the transponder being turned off seems to be the easiest and more sensible thing. how do you turn that of oh and don t get intoen suit is it in the cockpit? it is a computer in the cockpit you have to get into to shut it down. do you have to remove a panel or something? no, no, it s sort of like setting something in the computer you have to pull down to a couple of pages. you have to hit the right button to but it is more difficult than setting off the transponder. the transponder also has a hijack code on it. if an intruder came into the cockpit that would be the first
