In mind and thats it. everything has to fit that data. they originally said they thought it was nefarious activity. this is different. so i give them credit that they arent falling into some traps in investigation where they try to make the evidence fit the theories. here theyre apparently saying, well, that was wrong. lets try this. thats actually encouraging. >> new evidence coming in on missing flight 370. more right after this break. the day we rescued riley was a truly amazing day. he was a...

8:11 a.m. the day it disappeared nearly eight hours after take off and seven hours after air traffic control last site of the aircraft. still no answers where it was going on why. the search has expanded to a danting area including the northern and southern track in the indian ocean. sunday, march 16, authorities claim the communication system, known as acars was disabled before the pilots last words to air traffic control leading to questions about why the crew did not raise this issue. the tim...

Half hour later. ill let you get it back. at 1:37, half hour later, acars should have said now its doing this. acars going silent. means it was shut down deliberately or accidentally or transponder went off. if you take this new information essentially it means you had an aircraft reported in normal and then sometime immediately after that the transponder and acars system stopped functioning and appears there was a turn on radar. is it deliberate all this stuff was shut down? it could still be p...

Range. these altitude -- sudden altitude changes, i have no idea of the accuracy of that. i would hope that that data is presented to the best radar experts. and i know we sent them over there to assist with this investigation. one more thing, don. one piece of evidence that i -- i think most of us put a lot of stock in were those continuous ping handshakes from the inmarsat satellite. that resulted in those two arcs. this would seem to send that out the window. >> miles obrien, youve heard just...

The information would suggest. again, the malaysians contrad t contradicting that. this is really what were talking about in terms of all the imagery. this is important. this is the most recently piece of data that we have had coming from the chinese trying to get the telestrator to work there and said to be about 73 feet in length and it is very similar in length were told to this piece from the australians that was about 79 feet or so. so two pieces of debris spotted within the past week by ph...

The investigation. the idea no indication from the acars data, wireless transmission of data from the plane that the plane was preprogrammed. i have clive next to me. youre experienced in these issues. as tom reminded, it wasnt just acars transmission that turned out to be false that gave an indication, its that the plane flew steady by way points, less likely for you or me if we were experienced pilots to handle than an autopilot. arent there ways for the pilot without preprogramming, turning t...

>> good afternoon, jim. i initially had a theory myself that something happened that was immediate -- required immediate attenti attention. the whole concept of acars reporting information contrary to that sort of dashed that theory. were back to the point where the pilots easily could have been dealing with an internal problem or had a gun to their head. they cant really say. but the fact that it would be premeditated would take away all those other scenarios. so acars is doing its normal job, ...

Malaysian authorities are contradicting that this turn had been preprogrammed 12 some-odd minutes before the plane took that turn, it gave an indication at the time that when the cockpit said "good night," an odd communication to give, to say everythings fine when in fact you prepam programmed a turn off course to the city of beijing, the sequence in key raised questions about whether this was intentional. now, again, to reiterate, were being told by malaysian authorities that in fact at 1:07, t...

They did not find anything. they found a wooden pallet with strapping belts, pallets used in the airline industry but also used in shipping. its not clear where this pallet came from. also malaysian authorities clarified what was in that last transmission from the acars communication system at 1:07 minutes before the plane had its last communication with the ground. officials say it showed nothing unusual and the plane was at that point still headed for beijing. that undermines the theory that t...

And not the same fidelity as the images if the chinese and australians earlier in the week and something else came out today. we talked about the acars data. that is the data burst that comes from the plane. its transmitted every 30 minutes or something in it and really updates what is happening with the planes systems. the last acars ka da that burst we said before was a 1:07 a.m. malaysian authorities today came out and contradicted something. u.s. authorities said last week that the last acar...
