To be deliberate and coming from the cockpit. what do you make of these developments? by far and away, the most important development was the prime minister s statement this morning, when he basically laid out the timeline and crucially said that the ntsb, the aaib, the british equivalent and the faa, all concurred with this idea that the plane had turned and had followed one of the two paths, up towards kazahkstan or down into the indian ocean. the prime minister moved this entire incident into a different phase. the prime minister talking about i guess the possibilities now with the prime minister, the prime minister talking about that it looks like it was deliberately done. so that changes the realm of possibilities as to where this plane could have gone. talk about that. for those of us who are saying let s wait for the ....
Action by someone on the plane. today, based on raw satellite data, which was obtained from the satellite data service provider, we can confirm that the aircraft shown in the primary radar data was flight mh 370. after much forensic work and deliberation, the faa, ntsb, aaib, and the malaysian authorities, working separately on the same data, concur. according to the new data, the ....
Could not be confirmed, may have turned back. the primary data showed it went to the area north of the straits of malacca. given this credible data, which was subsequently corroborated with relevant international authorities, we expanded the area of search to include the straits of malacca and later to the andaman sea. early this morning, i was briefed by the investigation team, which includes the faa, ntsb, the aaib, the malaysian authorities and the acting minister of transport, on new ....
Talking about the indian ocean. just look at this map. if you think of where this eventually goes. the plane turns around, heads west, goes back across malaysia. right. it could be over here. it could be over here. and then you get this widening and then if the plane had continued, then you re out towards the indian ocean. so they will still find it, but i m starting to come to the view of mary schiavo, it s time to let somebody like the united states, the ntsb, the faa, the aaib, the authorities yet where, get ahold of this. you say they will find it. why? why will they find it? what is on board that plane? they keep searching. we keep hearing it didn t have the technology you may assume it did. there are things that break off and float to the surface that will tell where you it is, like a transponding beacon. they keep looking. just by searching. yeah, okay, it s a huge area. it s a huge area. but they know the areas they ve got and contradicting myself here. ....
Assume they re going to be inspecting the entire fleet of these kinds of jets, is that right? no, i wouldn t say that, wolf. i think they ve got to work out, first of all, what happened. was it unique to the cowlings and to the engines on this particular plane. either because of a failure of maintenance, or because of an engineering fault. but bearing in mind, this plane s 12 years old and the engines are many years old. and they re way, way, reliable, tested. this is not new technology by any stretch of the imagination. hundreds of these engines are around. so i m guessing before there would be any wide investigation, the authorities, the aaib, will grab this engine and really drill down to find out, was it manufacturing or was it a work of maintenance error. richard quest in london for us, as usual, thanks very much, richard. happening now, breaking news. desperate cries for help as the ....
