Tell the kelly file as we told you, moments ago, that before, before this co pilot said good night to air traffic control, this plane had already made its youturn to the west and that was not mentioned in the communication. trace gallagher live with another theory about. >> until they find the black boxes of these planes, the cockpit voice recorder, everything is still on the table. this is the theory that says that someone wanted to incapacitate the passengers and then reuse that plane, land so...

Startling, but its also true that we need to make sure that that time line is factual, and that the turn was commenced. the actual turn, not just the programs of the fms, that turn that par in advance of the communication, even so, that doesnt leave me convince d -- there couldnt have been something else going on there, aside from the idea of a hija hijacking. again, to let me finish my point. communicating with the ground is really last on the priorities list when year dealing with an in flight...

This more than 12-minute window between the programming and the last communication, were going to take you to the flight simulator so you can see for yourself how simple it actually is to program in coordinates to send a plane off to a different course. plus our exclusive virtual tour below dex on a 777. what it reveals about disabling the one piece of equipment that could have shed a lot of light on what happened. that acars system to the airliner. well be right back. im beth... and im michelle...

Sechl wwise, he has been breaking it down. >> there are a whole bunch of theories why this doesnt hold water. we had some breaking news involving whoever changed the waypoints in the flight computer did it 12 minutes before the acars system was turned off, before the co-pilot said good night in very calm tones. the change in course was not due to something that happened spontaneously, it wasnt a spontaneous reaction to some emergency in a cockpit. it had been planned out. just additional to that...

Welcome back tonights breaking news reported from nbc lending more credence to the possibility the planes course change was preprogrammed increasing the possibility of premeditation in whatever happened next. we dont have the answer to that or whether a more innocent explanation is a better fit, some sort of malfunction on board they were responding to. nor do we know whether the planes acars system failed or was shut off. we know that monkeying around with equipment down in the bay doesnt take ...

That was missing from their report was, well, when? when was it told to do it? and the information that came out earlier tonight from nbc news just two hours ago, is that it was told to do it 12 minutes before the co pie loot signed off with mission control. we seem to be adding to that now, and saying, not only was it told to do it, 12 minutes before the co pilot signed off, but the plane itself was heading west. the co pilot knew he was offcourse, in other words, according to how it looks toni...

Two other veteran pilots bringing years of experience to bear on all the scenarios investigators are looking at. well answer some of your questions. follow me @andersoncooper. this more than 12-minute window between the programming and the last communication, were going to take you to the flight simulator so you can see for yourself how simple it actually is to program in coordinates to send a plane off on a different course. plus, our exclusive virtual tour below the deck of a 777. what it re...

Sort of force its way in because they have this expertise on this issue. but otherwise, as weve seen so far theyre still not very involved. >> michael schmidt, good to have you on the program as always. mary schiavo as well. captain abend is going to stick around and hell be joined by two other veteran pilots bringing years of experience to bear on all the scenarios investigators are looking at. well answer some of your questions. follow me @andersoncooper. this more than 12-minute window betw...

With equipment down in the bay doesnt take a rocket science. this is a panoramic view of the planes nerve center has that hold the avionics, communication equipment and the acars system. jim sciutto is joining us along with ntsb and former aircraft mechanic john goleo. were know not showing our viewers any secret information. this is all information that somebody who is very interested in this can find out online and elsewhere. i just dont want to give people the idea were showing something we s...

To move their people around. so this airplane was designed from the beginning to be maintained and used in countries like china and other countries where they dont have the technical skills and they dont understand english very well. so its really -- its almost like a computer for a multinational audience. >> and less aben is with us as well. when we see this its fascinating to see what it looks like, most of us have never seen on a plane before. you fly 777s, you note plane very well. we still ...
