of the remote places on the planet searching for wreckage. i m jenna lee. jon: i m jon so the. no one knows if a couple objects bobbing in the indian ocean by satellite 1400 miles west of australia are pieces of that jetliner. search teams are facing harsh conditions and rough seas trying to locate evidence of that plane that carried 239 people. the fbi. is sending what could be a critical piece of evidence, the pilot s home sim late tore to its forensic lab to try to achieve any clues that might be on it. doug mckelway is live now. what is the latest on the search? reporter: it is 12 hours ahead in australia you. night has fallen after another unsuccessful day of searching. they are beginning to question images of alleged debris in the ocean. none of the planes or ships scouring that area saw anything
sign of this plane has, has turned up yet, what is the working theory? i don t think there is a working theory. i think of a number of theories. some more possible than others but at the moment we really have no idea where this plane is. this is almost a unique situation. to lose an aircraft of this size with its technology on a normal commercial flight it is extremely unusual. as i say, almost unique and i think it is going to be very challenging finding it. jon: there have been cockpit fires before that have brought down airliners. the swissair crash off newfoundland is one example. certainly possible that the pilot said good night. all of sudden, finds smoke in the cockpit or some kind averaging fire, turns left to try to find a friendly airport and is just over come by smoke and doesn t make it. indeed that is possible and i you have to remember that the 777 is amazing reliable aircraft
apart into the tiny pieces. searchers go out again tomorrow and the pentagon said the cost of the search and rescue so far is $2.5 million. we will talk more about the cost coming up the united states navy is reporting no trace of the missing jetliner. a p-8a equipped with the most sophi sophi sophist sophistocated technology but it has found nothing. michael fortune is here who is a retired pilot. we are loosing opportunities to hone in as the time goes by. we sure it. it is disturbing they haven t been able to find anything today. one of the problems the
misstatements made by malaysia air and malaysian government authorities. we thought we had a timeline and then they will say something and back away from it. the facts are fight thing. we know the airplane took off, the a-car was shutdown, it turned off course, and the transponder was shutoff, beyond that it is just speculation. imagine there was a fire on the board that erupted after the pilot said good night. but in other fires, the pilots radioed to the ground they had a fire on board. same with value jet. that is one of the more
malaysians wait so long to go into the house of the pilot to look at what he had hon his home, on his computer? why did they not share information with others who were more able to track the plane and provide the kind of information we all needed? and kirsten, the guy who is really rejoicing over all this is a guy named vladmir putin, right? well, yeah. i think are a lot of people that feel there is, there is other news going on that is more important than this, namely what is happening in the ukraine. though, i wouldn t say that it is more important. i would say it is equally important. i think a plane missing, going missing and all of the issues judy just raised which are serious issues that need to be looked into deserve coverage. i wouldn t go so far to say they shouldn t be covering it. they shouldn t do wall-to-wall coverage when they don t have any new information to report. jon: what does it say about us, americans, people all over the world that we are more interested in t
