With so many conflicting reports about flight 370 we asked our transportation correspondent jeff pegues to put together a timeline. It all began Early Saturday Morning march 8. Reporter sometime after taking off at 12 41 a. M. Investigators believe someone reprogrammed the planes flight Management System to turn away from its original flight plan.

The copilot told air Traffic Controllers in malaysia, all right, good night, as the plane moved towards Vietnamese Air space. They were the last words heard from the cockpit. Two minutes later at 35,000 feet the transponder was turned off. The plane went dark on civilian radar and then made a left turn back toward malaysia. Sources say it followed an established aviation corridor over several navigation away points. The malaysian military tracked an unidentified object on their radar traveling west towards the strait of malacca. They believe it was flight 370.

The last signal came at 8 11 a. M. At the time the plane would have run out of fuel. It was that last satellite contact that led investigators to dramatically expand the search area. Now theres a lot of focus on the south indian sea. Scott the National Transportation safety board is helping Australian Authorities pinpoint locations to search. Pelley jeff, thanks very much. Mark rosenker is the former chairman of the Transportation Safety board and is now an analyst for cbs news. Mark what do we make as the plane turning to the left and passing of those way points as it went off course . Reporter after this turn and validated the radar tracks that weve gotten the investigators are not very much closer to understanding why this was done. Certainly the turn could have been done by using the flight Management System which means they programmed these way points in it. Or they could have been flown using the heading select switch on the auto pilot. Or it could have actually been done by using the stick and flying it manually. Pelley what would that suggest to you about the person making that turn . Reporter i would believe that anybody who was able to make those kinds of turns and following those way points clearly had great knowledge about the systems and aviation. Pelley mark rosenker, thanks very much. Toyota today was hit with a 1. 2 billion fine. The automaker admitted that it lied to customers and u. S.
