Hours in freezing water officials fear that number will rise. Paula hancocks is live in jirks ndo, south korea. Chris, night isle fa for a second time and relatives of those 287 still missing are desperately wait for any news. Many parents here waiting to see if their child is even still alive. The weather has not been cooperating today. There have been very strong currents. Three divers at one point were carried away. They were picked up and safe, but they had to suspend the diving for some time. Beneath these frigid t waters nearly 300 people, mostly teenage students and teachers remain missing. The ships captain with his head down telling police, im sorry, im at a loss for words. Overnight three bodies were recovered from the sunken ferry bound for a Resort Island. The miraculous rescue of a 6yearold girl was caught on tape. Her parents and brother were not found. Grief stricken family members gather at a harbor in jindo waiting into the night desperate for any information. A mothers anguish she recalls encouraging her daughter to take the trip. Just go. It will be a great experience for you, for your school days. So im very regretting im very regretting this. Reporter dramatic video of first 24 hours of the frantic rescue shows passengers clinging to guardrails and being airlifted to safety. Most of the crews about what could have caused the ship to sink come from eyewitnesses who report hearing a loud bang and seeing the ship beginning to tilt. It sound like he hit a submerged object which caused a gash in the hull which would allow the water. Reporter if thats the case the gash apparently was large enough to impact several compartments below and ultimately capsize the ship. Also in question, the handling of the evacuation. According to passengers they were initially told to stay on board. This cellphone video thought to be from inside the ship shows passengers all wearing life jackets. Outside the ship, only one of 46 life boats deployed. These instructions here from the crew saying, do not move. If you mo, its more dangerous. Do not move. Could have cost many lives. One of the ways relation tives found out ability their loved ones was through Text Messages. There are a few people in the ship and we are not dead yet so please send along this message. Another student texted his friends. I think we are all going to die. If i did anything wrong to you, please forgive me. I love you all. Reporter now, the government tells cnn the ship did not deviate from its intended route much. This was a report earlier on suggesting that could have been the reason for this accident. Of course, the question is at this point, what exactly happened . Kate, back to you. Of course, the key question in everyones mind. Paula, thank you. We have breaking news in the search for flight 370 for you this morning. The oil slick discovered by search crews does not below to flight 370 after much analysis that everyone was waiting for. Australian official telling the wall strewall street journal may have been flying toward australia when it went down. The Prime Minister saying the best leads in the search will be exhausted in about a week. After that, it may be time to regroup. All of this as the bluefin21 mini subcompletes its first full mission after technical issues cut the two attempts short. We now finally have the final determination of that oil spill. Miguel . Yeah, that will come as a frustration to many people because it was hoped to be the First Physical evidence of that plane actually going down there. Despite those pings they believe are from the flight data recorders of mh370 they have no physical evidence of that plane so far. But they believe now that the bluefin21 is beginning to operate the way it should, down now for a full 16 hours. They are downloading that massive amount of data and then that bluefin will go back down again in order to continue to survey the bottom of the indian ocean in this area. The comments by both the transport minister in malaysia and Prime Minister here in australia saying it n. About a week if they do not get a positive hit on that plane theyre going to have to regroup. Going back to the math to figure out again exactly where that plane may have gone down and looking in another part of that ocean in order to search. Lets bring in david gallo, coleader in the search for air france 447 and the drirector of special projects and air safety expert and aviation teacher at ohio state university. Fwood morning to both of you. David, we just have this latest news on the oil spill. I believe in our past conversations not many had put a lot of hope that this oil spill would be the plane. Yeah. Like in the early days of this investigation, weeks ago, we saw so much trash floating around on the surface of the ocean. Theres awful lot of oil out there. Its not that surprising to many of us. You need to run each lead down, right . Absolutely. Anything might be a key that were looking for to break open this investigation, search. In terms of the investigation, shawn, telling the wall street journal if we dont find the wreckage, we stop, we regroup, we reconsider. That seems pretty basic, pretty understandable. He also talks about moving into a different phase of the search. I feel like no one has really talked about whats beyond this underwater bluefin stage because everyone believes that this is going to turn up the plane. What would the next phase be, in your mind . One of the significant components of the next phase is simply to expand the search area. That we went and focused or theyre focusing on their best guess based on the data they have but now that it appears that theyre not finding any of the debris field, simply a matter of expanding out to some of the other areas. I dont really see this although disappointing as necessarily that negative of an event other than this is a logical place for them to start, it looks like its turned up nothing, so lets move on to the other areas and lets go find the debris field. Many folks are going to say, david, what other areas . This was the targeted area. Many believe its right around that first ping that had the longest duration of two hours. Right. There are three other pings that were detected. Thats an area of some 500 square miles all together. Its up to that team in perth and kuala lumpur to decide what the next area is. I do believe its far too early to give up on bluefin yet in this one area. Its just had the first solid mission. Give them two or three days to get up to speed and see what turns up or not. It can all change in one moment. It takes one thing on the seafloor to tell you this is the right spot. They havent had that chance really yet. Yeah. You can almost say it really almost finished the first real mission because the first two were so abbreviated. Sure. In our case we would probably start outside the primary to make sure everything was working properly before we moved into the most significant area. You want to make sure that everything is tuned right, the team is working properly because you dont want to miss anything. Especially now that they want to dive, they can dive deeper and now they tweaked it. Exactly. Shawn, the head of australia Transportation Safety bureau, the revised data theyre working off of suggested the plane had been flying toward western australia, toward perth and may have been on autopilot at the time when it went down. Thats a pretty significant change in the assumptions theyre working with. Well, it is. But you know, this is one of the things that weve all of us have been talking about for quite some time now, from almost the beginning of the investigation. Certainly when we started getting data points that were leading us much further south like this, that this is exactly what we thought could have been one of the we one of the scenarios. I dont believe theres really any other information that supports him saying that other than this has been something all along that weve all talked about. It certainly would explain or be a part of that puzzle understanding how the airplane could have been this far south. What piece of data, what assumpti assumption, what revised analysis would lead them toward the path of thinking, oh, this is on autopilot rather than being flown by the pilot at the time. Do you know . Well, its the answer to that is going to be getting the boxes, unfortunately. Okay. That theres really nothing theres no other data points were going to have if we had more data track, if we saw an extremely steady course, then that might lead us to be a little more comfortable thinking that. But outside of having that, which we dont, the next step is, go near the place youre going to find that information is in the boxes, unfortunately. In your experience that was exactly what changed the investigation for the understanding of what happened to air France Flight 447. As far as we know those are the only two witnesses, cockpit recorder in this case. And why it remains the primary goal in what they need to find. The only goal right now. David gallo, shawn, thank you. Chris . Kate, we have significant and deadly developments in ukraine. Televised question and answer session, Vladimir Putin denied ever planning to annex crimea but admitted having troops there last month. President obama is unconvinced and is putting putin on notice saying there will be consequences if russia doesnt scale back its aggression toward ukraine. However, while politicians talk, people are now dying on the ground. A deadly shootout between ukrainian and prorussian forces is feared to signal worse things to come. Lets get to phil black in ukraine with the latest. Phil . Reporter chris, yes, this event overnight is easily the most vial lend of the crisis so far in the southern town where the Ukrainian Government says 300 prorussian militants attached a Ukrainian Military unit. They were able to repel them, killing three attackers, injuring around 13. Arresting dozens more. No word on Ukrainian Military casualties yet. It is a sign of just how chaotic things on the ground currently are. We have had the arrival of a large Ukrainian Military force here with the intention of driving back prorussian forces. But so far they have dismally failed to do so. Numerous cases weve seen them stopped not by prorussian government but my locals, villagers, people who dont want them here, block their path, swarm them and put them in the humiliating position to negotiate their retreat. Sometimes giving up the weapons that they are carrying. Sometimes giving up the Armored Vehicles that they are driving in convoy. Just down the road in a town we saw some six Armored Vehicles last night really being shown off like trophies by prorussian gunmen here. Very proud of what they had captured. Confident they can hold off the Ukrainian Military. The Ukrainian Government continues to be in a weak position. Its authority on the ground is in question. It cant control its own military because the soldiers dont want to use force against their own people. That means coming into these talks in geneva today the Ukrainian Government is in a weak position. Phil, as force becomes more of a reality on the ground were being told that diplomacy is the best hope. And so a highlevel and certainly highstakes summit is under way in geneva. Secretary of state john kerry and top eu official are meeting with ukraine and russia. The question is, what will the message be this time . Cnn is live in geneva with more. Ressa . Chris, u. S. Secretary of state john kerry is taking on a lot of complicated global crises during his time serving in the obama administration. This crisis in ukraine ranks up there. Many describing this crisis was on of the most significant criscrie crises since the end of the cold war and thats with why you have secretary kerry along with top diplomats of the eu, catherine ashton, Foreign Ministers of ukraine and russia. Also here trying to figure things out. So much at stake here. Were not just talking about the future of ukraine, were talking about the future of u. S. russia relations. These are two heavyweights among world powers. They sit together on the u. N. Security council. If relations sour moving forward they can certainly make life difficult for one another. Also tremendous pressure, domestically, on the obama administration, to make the right decisions moving forward. Things seem to be escalating in Eastern Ukraine. You have prorussian militant groups taking over police stations, government buildings. Now three People Killed yesterday. It wont be easy. Expectations are low. But these diplomats are going to give it a a shot today. Well tell you what happens at the end of the meeting. Kate . Theyre all sitting down, thats the important part. Reza, thank you. Lets get to meteorologist Indra Peterson with the latest of the forecast. At least i have good news. Record lows and snow to easter sunday. Not two things that usually go together. Lets talk about what we saw yesterday morning. We saw 5 below, record in michigan. Upper midwest, we get that. South to florida, we were still seeing these very a typical temperatures yesterday. The good news is were going to start rebounding. Cold air still there. Freeze warnings still here even this morning. Around d. C. And back down through charlotte. Watching the system make its way you. Thats good news. A couple of flurries in the midwest. This guy pulling in the moisture from the gulf and bringing in heavy rain. The chance for flooding here. Over four inches towards tallahassee. 2 1 2 inches in atlanta over the next several days. Keep that in mind if youre flying out in the southeast, we could be talking a delays. Now to the better news. Yes. Temperatures have been cold. They have been below normal by a good 10, 20 degrees. We already rebounding today. By tomorrow, getting better. Hello weekend. So close, right . Look at this. By the time we get to saturday we look at average temperatures. More importantly what we all care about, easter sunday. Staying dry now. Change in the forecast. No longer seeing rain on the east coast for easter. Maybe showers out towards kansas city, dallas, and pacific northwest. Most people seeing normal temperatures and staying dry. That is huge. Please clap because, yes, thats huge. Good info. Appreciate the spring again when we dip back down into the cool temperatures. Oh, yeah. Those of us forced to hide eggs that will never be discovered by children who are too young to find them and will end up rotting in our yards. Hard boiled egg . First of all, i do nothing. I was referring to the easter bunny. Of course, kate balduan. Obviously. However, when that bunny comes, one, it does not like rain and it does not like leaving eggs in places that children will not find. Free booze draws berman with a b. Hard to find, lets just say that. Okeydokey. Thats good. That was good insult. Yeah. Im sensitive here. He was anticipating the onslaught. All right. Anyway, take a break here. New day with a d, still, a rescue operation but troubling new information. Listen to this. Of the 46 life boats, only one was deployed. Were also hearing passengers were told to stay put while the ship was going dounder. Were going to talk with a retired coast guard captain. Scanning the seafloor for flight 370. The challenges both above and below the water for getting the bluefin submersible to operate at peak efficiency. Big challenges ahead. Millions of peaches, peaches for me yoplait. It is so good youll want a different peach everyday. But we still swim. Every second, somewhere in the world, lightning strikes. But we still play in the rain. Because bad things cant stop us from making our lives. Good. [ male announcer ] when fixed income experts. Work with equity experts. Who work with regional experts. Who work with Portfolio Management experts, thats when expertise happens. Mfs. Because there is no expertise without collaboration. Welcome back to new day. There are a lot of questions about what happened to this ship so were going to take you through what we understand with the help of the magic wall here. Okay . So, the first point we want to make is, this voyage was delayed because of fog two hours delayed, a little bit of insight into what difficulty there may have been with the conditions. The voyage was normal. Something happens below the water line. Were not sure what. Passengers report on Board Hearing a loud bang. What could that be . Usually means contact with something. On either side and its narrow there are things that could have been hit. Now what do we learn . Theyre told while its listing, stay put. Not get into life boats, not get ready to abandon ship. Now, remember, each minute lost makes it that much harder to escape, shifting cargo and cars. It had 150 vehicles on board and doors that could flood easily at impact. Now what happened . It goes from listing to completely submerging and rotating over. What does that mean . Well, now, instead of just hopping off a boat you literally have to climb at a 45degree angle like climbing on a mountain. Still, there would be hope. Why . Even with the boat completely upsidedown like this, if the bow is out like this, the bottom side of the bow, that means theres air pockets inside, you could be surviving. However, of course, time is of the essence. The water is about 50 degrees. Its cold. The air is cold. The currents are strong. So this is a desperate search to be sure. Lets bring in retired coast guard captain paul roaden for some rer expectative now joining us from washington. Captain, thank you for joining us. Lets deal good morning. With what you need to hit to impact a ship this way. We understand here in the yellow sea, the channel is well dredged. Major shipping lane. Were told its tight, you have to know where youre going. When you hear there was fog, what does it mean to you . Good morning, chris. Thanks for having me on. Yes, youre right, there would be have to be something unusual to happen to the ship. It would likely be Something Like hitting a rock or heing rocks that would cause damage along the length of the ship. Enough to cause enough flooding to cause the initial list to one side, healing over. Also, complicating factors. This is a car carrier, this vessel. So it has those doors that open. A little different than on a regular container ship. What happens if those are breached in terms of exacerbating flooding, making it happen faster . Exactl
