U.s. officials are not commenting on the accuracy of the claim. the flight turned westward was programmed in the computer reenforcing the theory that the jet was redirected by the pilots or one or more individuals with flying experience. >> the aircraft was scheduled to fly to/beijing. >> it was reported in new york times today. >> it could be speculation. it is once you are in the aircraft, anything it possible. >> the malaysia media reported that a half dozen remote landing strips were found o...

Sophisticated radar that could have seen this plane so it basically went south over the cuban ocean where there is basically nothing. >> we are not sure of anything but i think the -- by the way, the malaysians have done about as bad as you can do in providing information of ensuring its accuracy and making us feel like they know what they are doing. >> that lends itself to conspiracy theories about what really could have happened potentially. people talking about some cases this plane landing s...

>> so its entirely possible that this was happening. >> this is a note of caution we want to keep reminding our viewers. thees are early stages piecing together evidence. youve investigated, you have been a pilot but also represented victims of crashes before where evidence is key and the investigation is key as into the cause. have you ever handled a case with this kind of mystery this far into the game? >> it wouldnt be a case of eight days into the game. you have to wait for the investigation...
