nontraditional. it may be a nontraditional form of terrorism. it might be a form of suicide terrorism. all of these things will eventually need to be looked at. finding the plane, very important. the families need to be, you know, at peace about what happened here. you got to also keep in mind it took over two years for the air france black box to be found. so this is not something that i think is going to happen fast. in the meantime, the investigators should be working extremely hard talking to the families of every single pilot and passenger on that plane, looking at that computer hard drive that we talked about earlier, that s where there s going to be evidence if any of these individuals on that plane were planning to do something and if they were, what were they planning to do and for what purpose. all right. so, i want to ask you, arthur, you know, i mean, as a aviation attorney, as a veteran pilot, when you look at where we re looking in the middle of the
on march 18th, two possible flight arcs emerge. one extending north to central asia, the other south to the indian ocean. this means that the search area covers a staggering 2 million square miles. march 19th, investigators analyzing the pilots flight simulator find that files were dilated. then on thursday, a possible breakthrough in the search, australia announcing that satellites spotted two objects in the ocean including one that is 80 feet long and that brings us to today. with china saying a satellite spotted another object in the same general search area. let s talk about that now, the latest satellite picture offering some hope that the missing plane could be found. for more on that, let s bring in veteran pilot, retired u.s. navy captain chuck nash a fox news military analyst. captain nash, always good to see you. when you think about the search area, which is 2.97 million
all at the top of the hour. and now, back to the theories about exactly what we re hearing. some of the conspiracy noerpz martin savidge is here with the flight simulator. richard wise. will they suggested there was a fire. a lot of people say how would that be possible. he said a veteran pilot would be taught to find the nearest airport. they might have turned that plane and started to turn dramatically left to try to head back to kuala lump pur. he says the loss of the transponder makes perfect sense in a fire. you re in the simulator. does that add up? certain aspects of it, definitely do add up. i was covering the valujet crash. i know the effects of a fire on an airliner. the most likely way the crew is going to become aware of a fire like in your home, in your office, there is a fire detection system pap.
search for this missen plane. gregg? molly hannenberg in washington, thank you. we re going to get answers over the next couple of days, chances are. and there are still so many questions to be answered. and for more on this, i m truly privileged right now to have veteran pilot and retired u.s. navy captain, chuck nash, who is also a fox news military analyst. you re one of my military heroes, i want to give folks out there the benefit of a conversation that you and i had about what may have happened. we don t speculate here at fox news, but we need to be prepared for these, these opportunities that the bad guys could have when it comes to an airplane and you have to imagine it would be a dream come true for them to get their hands on a 777. and there are plenty of bad groups in that area. let me ask you what happens, when a pilot and i m flying monday, so i hate to ask the question but you re on a plane, the pilot is in the cockpit. the pilot or co-pilot get up to use the rhett
going to be a political effort as well now for the malaysian government. they have to get the governments, all these countries on board. they have to share data. they have to look at the passengers as well. here in malaysia, i can tell you that soon after the announcement from the prime minister that it looks like there was a very, very strong body of evidence to suggest that the plane was deliberately turned away from its flight path by someone on board. the two pilots here, both of the homes of the two pilots, they took away evidence. we don t know what it was in it. i can tell you that the lead pilot, 53-year-old, a veteran pilot. he had a simulator, a hand-built simulator in his house. that s going to be looked at obviously 37. but at this stage, it s all about we re hearing there s
