Airlines investigation breaking his silence. Malaysias Prime Minister today sat down with richard quest, his First Television interview since the plane disappeared 49 days ago. Its a bizarre scenario, which none of us could have contemplated. Now the Prime Minister would not confirm to richard that the plane actually crashed. Richard quest is in kuala lumpur tonight. And richard, as the search has become, you know, more and more targeted, a lot of people have been saying look are, they focusing too much on one area . Do they actually know where the plane went . I want to play one of the most incredible moments from your interview. This is very, very different from the air france incident, very different from the silkair incident. This is totally unprecedented. What do we have going for us . What is the evidence . The evidence simply lie with the pings, the handshakes that we have analyzed. Thats all we have. Thats all we have, he says, richard. Thats pretty incredible. Absolutely extraordinary. I was surprised myself that he was he was as blunt as that. I thought he might be dressed up with a little bit more of well, the expertise and this and that, all of which is here in kl. But as you and i and arthur and jeff and everybody have said on outfront over the weeks that weve been doing this, take away the handshakes from inmarsat, take away the pings from the ocean shield and youre left with absolutely nothing. And i can tell you, ive had meetings at very senior levels from airline to governmental, everybody agrees the same thing, erin. And richard, you also asked the Prime Minister whether he is sure the plane even crashed. I mean, that was also an extraordinary moment. Let me play how you asked it and what he said. I ask you again, Prime Minister. Are you prepared to say that the plane and its passengers are lost . At some point in time i would be but not now . Right now i think i need to take into account the feelings of the next of kin. And some of them have said publicly that theyre not willing to accept it until they find hard evidence. Richard, this is the man who a month ago said the plane, the flight ended in the southern indian ocean. And he hasnt changed his view on that one bit. But he told me specifically, erin, the words were very carefully chosen, just as much as they were when they used the word deliberate to describe somebody flying the plane, not giving away nefarious or mechanical fault. So the use of the phrase end in the indian ocean was very deliberate itself. He is not going to go to that next stage until until there is some evidence that the families can latch on to. Not because he is a naive fool and doesnt realize what the truth probably is, but because as the Prime Minister of the country that is responsible for the investigation, he believes that is his duty to those people who suffered. All right, richard, stay there. I want to bring in les abend and arthur rosenberg. It was an extraordinary interview. He said to richard, what do we have going for us . What is the snefd the evidence is the pings and the handshakes. Thats all there. First, let me give richard a compliment, because i thought that interview was spectacular. The questions were focused, the answers he got from the Prime Minister reflected the quality of the questions. Now, my largest takeaway on the Positive Side from this interview was this. When the Prime Minister was meeting with the inmarsat people and the other experts to determine a location of the airplane, he said to them and he reported in the interview where is it . And they told him that it was in the location where were looking now. Prime minister responded thats basically halfway to the south pole. Are you sure . Are you sure . Are you sure . And they said we are as confident as we can be. From my take of that from a Prime Minister, a head of state who has a lot more access to information than we do, i think thats a shot in the arm for confidence that we are looking in the right spot. All right. Let me ask you, les. I dont think you feel the same way. He said what evidence do we have . The pings and the handshakes. Thats all we have. You now are worried about the pings. I am. Im worried about the fact that after talking to some of our own ast analysts that are involved with this type of thing that the pings may not be from the black box from the standpoint of the they felt that the frequencies should be spot on, and they werent that doesnt mean that the search area calculated by inmarsat is not the appropriate search area. It may 23409 be just where the bluefin 21 is right now. Thats a crucial question. Let me play what the Prime Minister said to richard, how richard asked about the inmarsat data and what the Prime Minister then said. Here he is. Moving to when the inmarsat data is brought to your attention, did you have any doubts when inmarsat said and your adviser said we believe now the plane flew for seven hours or so, six and a half hours or so and this is where it went. Did you you must have had quite a shocked reaction. To be honest, i found it hard to believe to begin with. Because how could a plane that was supposed to be heading to beijing, you know, they could decide that the plane and that halfway to antarctica, its a bizarre scenario, which none of us could have contemplated. Richard, do you have any fear there is an overreliance on this data . Look, just because its the only data doesnt mean its bad, but it is the only thing they got. You just contradicted yourself in the question, erin. Because with respect, because its the only data, therefore there has to be reliance on it. If you strip away that data, you are left with nothing. And if that data does prove to be inaccurate, then you are going back up the chain to 2 22 when the military radar stops stops tracking the aircraft. And then you really are, pardon the phrase, without the proverbial paddle. Because where do you go then . Look, they may have to do that. But at the moment, their confidence is still there both in the handshake because of the way its been done and the experts who looked at it. Right. And the pings, because of the nature of it. Now, of course, time is ticking, though, les. If youre concerned about the black box pings, indeed, whether the pings come from the black box, should they be looking at other avenues . Well, i think, im with richard. I think the inmarsat data is solid. Because really, like richard said and you talked to inmarsat yourself. I have. You talked about that on the show. They have gone through the wobbles that might have been the plane and why they feel so confident. The performance of the aircraft, the endurance of the aircraft, all that theyve gone through. So yes, im confident that inmarsat has led us in the right area or toward it. But it may be a bigger area than is being searched right now. And i had a lot of confidence that we were actually listening to signals from the black boxes. And after speaking to some analysts that it seems to me that this may not be the right frequency. And that disturbs me, but then again, i think this airplane is still in the ocean. On the issue of the pings from the black boxes, im going to have to disagree with you, as much as it pains me to do that. Arthur, you traffic in disagreement. I do. I do. I think those pings were right on. I think that the frequency difference, the 37 1 2 kilohertz which were all making a big deal about. Thats what its supposed to be transmitting on. It came in lower. I think thats reflective of the incredible pressure where they were. Youre down almost three miles. The temperature variations. I spoke to the same analysts, and i walked away with i think theyve got it. And when you take the pings from the black boxes together with the inmarsat data and the radar data, albeit there was some assumptions 00 performance to the airplane, fuel burn speed, things like that, again, it coalesces right in this area which is where they are. Its a large area. Give it a little more time. All right. Were going to be getting in a minute the details where they are. The were going to get new details from perth on exactly the status of the search. Plus, passengers and their final words.

Breaking news as investigators are down to the last 10 of the designated search area. So far in that area no evidence of flight 370. The american navys underwater drone may be conducting its last in the area. Miguel is in perth. What are you learning tonight . Well, we believe that 12th dive is probably complete by now and theyre downloading the data and finishing it up. So presumably, they are through very close if not entirely the area of 150 square miles of the area around that second ping. That then raises the question what next. Will they continue to do a little more searching around that area . Are there places they want to get to, or will they move on to another area, or even possibly reset the search entirely. Erin . And miguel, thats just incredible to reset the search entirely. But i guess they have to look at that, because the area youre talking about, its not just any old area, its the area that they said was the single most promising area that they have. Right. Yes, although there is the area of the first ping, which is several miles north of there that they could also go to. This is the one they really thought they had it on there might be other parts they want to look in further. If they have to reset, youre talking about bringing in new gear, new search vehicles, possibly new ships, new individuals to help run all of that. Possibly the ocean shield would have to come back, fuel up in port and take on resources and then come back out. A lot has to happen if they have to reset that search, erin. And miguel, you still are hearing theyre going to keep looking, though, broadly in the indian ocean. Its a huge space. But broadly in the indian ocean. Of course, yes. Look, the Prime Minister said the entire area of interest is about 700 kilometerers by 80. Thats about 21,600 square miles of ocean. They have now searched about 150 of that. So they have a lot to choose from. They want to narrow that down as much as possible. But at the moment, they are looking at probably a much wider search if bluefin doesnt come up with anything in this area, and if they dont decide to go to some other where the first ping was heard just before the second. Erin . Thank you very much, miguel. Its incredible how much we dont know. The malaysian Prime Minister telling cnn exclusively, you just heard it, he wont even say that mh 370 crashed. Something so fundamental unknown. And as we search for answer, investigators are still focusing on the pilot and the crew. Spoke with the wife of one of the flight attendants in this outfront exclusive.

She has been asking about her papa every night, every morning. Reporter what do you tell her . Lately i have to strain to tell that papa might come back, papa might not come back. We just pray. Reporter now eight months pregnant, othaman says she can barely keep herself together. If i receive a call on my phone, i was like please, im hoping thats him. Reporter hoping because as nothing else, no evidence, no answers. Most malaysian families of passengers and crewmembers on board flight 370 have been hesitant to speak up. But now after attending a series of government briefs, they are so outraged, they want someone, anyone listen to them. The end of the day its just frustration most of the time, because we feel that, like i said, not enough information. Reporter do they look like theyre trying to help you . I dont know if i can trust them. I can completely understand their need to find answers. However, as i said in the briefing just now, we are looking for the answers ourselves. Reporter to make matters worse, the families of crewmembers are living with the fact that their loved ones have not been cleared from suspicion, the most scrutinized perhaps captain of the plane zaharie hamid shah. She met his family at one of the briefs. Theyre very quiet, very quiet people. I think theyre very emotional down as well. Reporter the mh 370 crews families dont believe the captain is responsible. Othaman will eventually go back to work, fly again for malaysia airlines. But right now she says she cant even bear the sight or the sound of an airplane. Sumnina udas, cnn, kuala lumpur.

Tonight a new image is said to show the footprint of the 15yearold who stowed away in the wheel well of a flight from california to hawaii. Now, we cant independently confirm the authenticity of the footprint, but this picture was obtained by our affiliate khnl. They say that it shows the teens footprint on the wheel well. Last night we showed you these images of footprints on the gear of the same jet. And for the first time, the father of that teen is now speaking out. Revealing why he believes his son, who remains in protective custody tonight, took this trip in the first place, a trip what should have killed his son. Temperatures inside that cramped compartment which is not pressurized were most likely up to 80 degrees below zero as the jet cruised for six hours at 38,000 feet. David mattingly is out front. Reporter a stowaway plot that at first might have seemed so daring and so calculated continues to be revealed as illconceived and utterly reckless. When a 15yearold climbed the airport perimeter fence in san jose, avoided detection for six hours, and hid in the wheel well of a 767, there is still no indication he had any idea where he was going. Only that he was home sick for his family in seem mallia. Mohammed olad, voice of america spoke to the boys father today in california, who believes his son will be home soon. The father believed that the son was he didnt know the plane, where it was going, and he was like like a stowaway boy who wanted to run away from home, to send his message that he was very sick for home. Reporter perhaps unconscious for most of the ordeal, the teen was clearly not prepared to endure a fivehour flight with little oxygen and subzero temperatures. After landing in maui and regaining consciousness, he was spotted by a startled baggage handler. He appeared to be disoriented, weak, kind of staggered as he was walking. And, you know, totally disoriented and walked up to one of the baggage handlers that were hooking up some baggage carts out on the apron. Flight attendants, please prepare the cabin for landing. Reporter the fbi quickly ruled out terrorism. But questions persist about the teens emotional wellbeing. I was really shocked. Reporter california classmates describe him as shy and withdrawn. His father said he was having difficulty in class. The boy remains in a maui hospital under protective custody of state Child Welfare services. With no word on exactly what drove him to try something so desperate and so dangerous. David mattingly, cnn, atl
