Since it happened. And tonight for the next hour were going to answer your questions. Like what are the odds the pilots are in this together . Why do you trust that pakistan has no radar evidence of the plane . And what if the plane is in the and what if the plane is in the hands of hijackers . Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com and i want to go to our breaking news. Here now with that is michael smith, one of the reporters on that story. We are reporting that the first diversion that the plane made on its path was done was done by a Computer System on the plane. And not done manually by anyone on the plane for that matter. What happened was is that someone on the plane put into the Computer System that sits between the pilots a new direction for the plane to go in and that is why the plane moved. We believe this is significant because the investigators believe its significant because it shows that whoever did this had some expertise in flying. This was not just someone on the plane who grabbed the controls and moved it. This reinforces the belief that this plane was deliberately diverted in some way perhaps by the captain or the copilot on the plane. The last person to speak was the copilot who said all right, good night. With so much information, how reliable is the information coming from the malaysian government in your assessment . The malaysian government has had a bit of problem with their credibility. For the first week they didnt really say much. And they came out on saturday and they said that they did believe foul play was behind it. And today they reversed something they said on sunday. In a sense they didnt do any favors by not saying anything initially. We get distributrips and drabs different things. But when there is so much we dont know we are left were left in the dark on a lot of things. Michael smith, thank you very much. I want to bring in jim sciutto. What can you tell us . The defense secretary chuck hagel reached out to his malaysian counter part one saying that the u. S. Remains committed to the search, willing to give the assets necessary, the planes and ships, to make the search. But the u. S. Is retasking its ships and really more its airplanes to focus on the southern indianian ocean down there. And its been cnns information that when you speak to u. S. Officials, its their focus. Its their feeling, their stronger feeling its more likely the plane is in the indian ocean rather than that path up north into central asia where the possibility of landing the plane. And the focus is with the p8 posiedon. And thats where the u. S. Will focus. What increased security alerts are we seeing tonight . The one country that has done something is israel. It is requiring airlines to identify themselves earlier than normal. You travel to israel and i have been there a number of times. Its the country with the most strict security on the ground when you are flying airplane, interrogations, questions, searches and strict procedures for airliners approaching. They have to identify themselves further on the chance that this plane has been hijacked for later use, perhaps in an attack. The u. S. And i have spoken to people on capitol hill including members of the house intelligence committee, is the u. S. Considering any measures. This conceivably exposes Security Fears here. It presents the fact it could happen here 13 years after 9 11. Including what a pilot can do in a cockpit. Could the pilot turn off the transresponder. That is a possible change going forward. That is things they are looking at. You can be sure there will be debate about new measures here as well. You have done so much to help us with this story. I want to bring in cnns richard quest. Also with me is jeff wise, the author of extreme fear the science of your mind in danger and mary shia vo. And chuck beatty served in delta force, the fbi and cia. And david stooples with me. Jim tilmon as well. A retired American Airlines pilot. Thank you all. This hour is for you, the viewer. You have so many questions you have been sending us and we hear you. I want to go to robert ray. 7 7425 at twitter. If the satellite track that plane for six to seven hours why dont they know where it went down . Something does not make sense. David, do you think that the plane could have been tracked by satellite . Why . It is possible that the plane would be registering with the satellite but the communication with the satellite is 23,000 miles up in space. Its geo stationary and it really cant find direction or position of anything say its there, but it would not be able to give a position. Richard quest, pakistan, indian, myanmar, thailand, indonesia all say they did not detect the ailer on their radar. How reliable is their radar . We dont understand fully the capabilities of those individual companies. Some will say its evil metal and not accurate. But if you are talk about india and pakistan and their borders and coastline, then there are certain areas if those countries are saying they did not see anything that is a fairly high degree of certainty. Kazakhstan has said there is no evidence of anything breaching their air space. I supposed a similar question to the New York Times reporter about the information from the malaysian government. Does the u. S. Believe we are getting briefed in the latest information from the countries involved at this point . Early on there was reluctance to share it. That wasnt just u. S. Officials. You hear it and still do from chinese officials and other countries involved. The feeling is it is Getting Better now but its i think there is a question out there. Because as kazakhstan, pakistan and others say theres no way this plane passed through our air space there is a reluctance on the part of some of these countries to share the full extent of their capabilities because you have a lot of disputes between these countries, rival ris, border disputes. And the tensions are still there. So they dont want to make it exactly clear how far and clearly their satellites see and how extensive and well monitored their radars are. That hasnt gone away. The question is, is everybody sharing with everybody . And thats an open question. This is an important question i want to ask. Im going to pose it to jeff wise. A lot of people tweeted about this scenario. Darrell b. Said is it possible that mh 370 could have shadowed sia 68 to avoid radar direction if it went north. There is a theory that flight 370 could have linked up with a Singapore Airlines flight around the time it disappeared and shadowed that plane on its route to avoid radar direction. You know, we came across it and looked at it. I feel it sounds like it is plausible. It matches with the data you can find from the online flight trackers. It sounds plausible but at this point it seems like to much conjecture. If i could touch just on what the first viewer asked which was about the pinging. This is a major point largely overlooked. The satellite nav system was pinging. Was checking in with the planes sat com system. We know this happened at least four times. The malaysian government made a big deal about releasing that data on saturday morning and releasing this arc you have on the wall behind me. That is the most significant piece of information so far. And why havent they released the previous pings. If we could see where the arcs lay earlier in the flight its hard to know for sure but it might give a clue as to where this thing is. I want to get back to the viewer questions. Go ahead. On this point, sources close to Singapore Airlines have told me that they can find no evidence of this. The shadows. I believe aviation sources also say that they are not look at it. They dont give it any credence. Good. Thank you for that. This one i pose to jeff beatty. Well talk a little bit more about the satellite season. He says, pakistan confirmed they have nothing in their radar. Did we get similar confirmation from all countries on probable route . Mr. Beatty do you know about that . From what i understand we have not heard from anyone yet and we may not get complete information because people are going to be reluctant to share what their true capabilities are. As jim was talking in his lead in. There are people who have had fights with each other in the past. But if i could add one quick thing, don, i see in what mike smith and what jim reported if im a Family Member i see some encouragement here. Because if you are the pilot and program something into the computer and the aircraft begins a turn you dont need to fly another four or five hours to commit pilot suicide. This takes off the table a little bit in my mind one of the scenarios that probably families were most fearful of. So some good news there one can make an inference of possible good news. Mary you want to follow up on that . In a different way. If the pilots are able to program in the waypoints and codes into the computer they are still coherent. Whatever happened has not rendered the plane unflyable. They can still put things in the computer. It does im a skeptic. I want to see evidence and put together the pieces of the plane but it cuttings they were coherent and knowingly did change the route of the plane. Kayla says why do we trust pakistan when they say they have no radar evidence of the plane . Heres my question to you, david. If a plane is looking to fly under the radar in that part of the world is it 100 necessary is it absolutely 100 sure that a plane cannot fly under radar in that part of the world. Is the radar in that part of the world that strong or weak enough to allow that . You have to look at the radar range itself. When the plane was first lost it was at the extreme end of the radar system from malaysia. So we are talking about 250 nautical miles and the aircraft was at 35,000 feet to. Fly under the radar it will have to fly know the range of the radar and then fly to the height for that range. So as its approaching, say, pakistan, its going to have to go lower and lower and lower. And i doubt a plane of 200 tons could get under the radar. Jim tilmon, i promise we will get you in. Does the United States believe we are in a threat right now because of this . That we are vulnerable . Well, they dont when you speak to u. S. Officials. One reason they dont is they have not established a terror link to this attack. They havent ruled it out but they havent established that connection. They are not triggering the reactions we would see if there is a terror link there. But lawmakers are looking at possibilities to close some holes here. When we have a whiff of a plot out there. You remember the tooth paste tube explosives or refined shoe bombs, things we have been reported in the last few weeks. You know, they start to make adjustments in security screenings, et cetera. If this turns out to be a plane co commandeered by terrorists that is not just a whiff of a plot. And i would echo your other guests. The thing about this flight computer, the story in the New York Times is it begins to eliminate other possibilities. Sudden inkpas station of the crew. Plus the idea you had a yahoo walk in the cockpit door and try to commandeer the plane. Everybody stick with us. Jim tilmon, ill get you in. I want to talk more about this in a few minutes. When we come right back, what do we know about the pilots of flight 370 or any pilots, as a matter of fact . Were keeping your answers keep sending your questions at 370qs. To truck guys, the truck is everything. And when you put them in charge of making an unbeatable truck. Good things happen. This is the ram 1500. The 2014 motor trend truck of the year and first ever backtoback champion. Guts. Glory. Ram. Nobody who has ever flown on a plane wants to believe that the pilot and copilot arent doing everything they can to keep the passengers safe. Are we threeing on blind faith . Rosa flores has put together everything we know about the pilot and copilot of flight 370 and what airlines do to check pilot backgrounds. Anxiety erupting. The search growing. Our priority is to find the aircraft. Reporter and new clues surfacing like this video of the pilots as the focus on the cockpit of malaysian Airlines Flight 370 intensifies. The homes of captain zaharie abdul shah and Fariq Abdul Hamid searched by authorities. They seized this flight simulator. Raising questions and feeding theories about what it was used for. You can compare one flight to another flight to see if you improved as far as the ability to maintain altitude or stay on the glide slope during decensce. So its possible that the flights he was taking on the flieblt simulator would be recorded on that system. Also on tape, Surveillance Video posted on youtube showing the captain and first officer going through airport security. Cnn cannot confirm the authenticity or the date of the video. The captains family posting this tribute online, describing him as loving, generous and supportive. Neighbors of the 27yearold copilot also talking, saying his community is praying and maintaining hope but there are troubling photos from the copilots past like this from 2011 showing him and two teenaged passengers in the cockpit during a flight from thailand to malaysia. I was upset that with the fact that they were doing it was something that happened quite often. I was shocked to see those pictures. It was inflight, as i understand. It was during the flight. I cant imagine breaching the cockpit door for anyone other than the flight crew. Reporter passengers put their lives in the pilots hands most of the time not knowing a single thing about them. Who is looking at the flight crew . Malaysia airlines say pilots are screened, undergoing psychological tests. Going forward we will look into all this. In this country, david soucie says that oversight of pilots Mental Health is left to an honor system. There is no one that does an independent evaluation unless the pilot himself says ive got issues. To me that seems backwards. That doesnt seem like an effective way of understanding and monitoring the psychological wellness of an individual, particularly someone in charge of that many lives. Reporter in the case of malaysia Airlines Flight 370, 239 lives in the hands of a flight crew now under scrutiny. Rosa flores is here now. We got tweets about screening of pilots. Here is what one says. He asks, how can airlines not conduct periodic psychological tests or check ins on pilots after theyre hired. Couldnt hurt. What did you learn about that . Heres our david soucie put it do they get physicals every year . Yes, they do. The sigh psychology part could be improved. Its up to the pilot to come forward. Who in their right mind would come forward and say i cant fly a plane when it puts their career and financial future in jeopardy. Thank you for that. I want to hear what my experts have to think now. Richard quest, he is here. Raffi ran is the former director of and richard i want to start with you. You can speak endless about what she was reporting on. In terms of all pilots go through recurrent training every six months. The airlines are very aware particularly in the recession we have just been through, extra stresses, marital problems, anything like that. There is an entire structure of reporting anonymously. And one very senior pilot at an airline who is responsible for the training and management of pilots put it this way. We tell pilots they can come to us if theyve got a problem. If they have a psychological issue. They wont lose their license permanently but they will be medically unfit but its they know they will have a paycheck. Raffi you were the director of security in tel aviv. How are the pilots screened there . There are two categories. One category is your own pilots. In the case of israel it is israeli pilots flying israeli carriers. And the other category are foreign pilots that they bring airplanes into your territory and your airports. One on the first category, you can take the issues and take a policy and implement it. The second category is almost impossible to touch. And most of the problems occur in the second category. Because the first category of your own pilots is the regularly monitored as a strong background and environment that would indicate issues that may develop. And if somebody is either suffering from mental issues or not necessarily the case of israel but in other countries, goes through a radicalization process and they become a threat, as long as is it in your own territory you have your intelligence. You have your access to people in the pilots environment. But when it comes to foreign pilots, you have zero. You have to rely on whatever you are being told by the country that owns that carrier. The standards arent the same all over. I want to read a question from jen durham. Can pilots choose their own copilots. What are the real odds that the pilots are in this together. Can you answer this . From what we know the pilots did not ask to fly together or ask to be with each other. Can they ask to be with one other, yes. But i want to talk about the testing, the psychological of the pilot. In law enforcement, for example, they give psychometric testing to someone before they give someone a gun. A common one is the mmpi ii. It is given to people to see if mentally there is psychological issues or personality issues or mental issues. This is something we may see now coming for pilots. Theres a wexler scale, the roar shack and in certain people who are responsible for peoples lives before they are in the position to fly a plane or give them a badge or gun. Its dangerous we do not do a psychological test of individuals before they enter a profession. Who is going to say i got problems, dont give me the job. Or that person may not know they have problems. Thank you. Richard quest. Stay with us. When we come back i want to talk about some of the other theories out there. Some may not be as crazy as they sound. And we are answering your questions tonight. Tweet us using the 370qs. So ally bank has a raise your rate cd that wont trap me in a rate. Thats correct. Cause im really nervous about getting trapped. Whys that . Uh, mark . Go get help i have my reasons. Look, you dont have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. If our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. Oh that sounds nice. Dont feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. Ally bank. Your money needs an ally. And his new boss told him two things cook what you love, and save your money. Joe doesnt know it yet, but hell work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. Hell start investing early, hell find some good people to help guide him, and hell set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. So with all of the worldwide attention to this story its hard to believe
