Said after combing through the five hard drives from the co-pilot and pilot, that there were some curious findings but nothing that jumped out from investigation that would be information that would indicate a clear motive. according to my source, there were searches, web searches, from the captain about flight emergencies. what to do during flight emergencies. these are just examples. what would you do if there was a fire in the back of plane? what would you do if there was decompression? those aren t specific examples that were searched necessarily. it was those kind of searches. given the context of the missing plane, that might have raised eyebrows initially but my source is that these are also searches that any experienced professional pilot would likely do. and also, investigators found alternate routes that were programmed into the captain s simulator. routes that he would not normally fly, as well as emergency routes from kuala lumpur to beijing.
This is what it sounds like. do you hear that? that s the electronic ping, it s not really audible, human ears can t pick it up. of course there s a catch to this. battery pingers may have only days or hours left. which apparently is a game-changer once that happens. if they can find something in the next 24 to 48 hours. joining us from london, alastair is here with us. good to have you here. a senior u.s. official tells cnn, actually, our pamela brown, that investigators have discovered that they programmed alternate routes and searched what to do in flight emergencies, and they called that curious. is it curious that a pilot, a captain, would do that, or is that just due diligence.
