Where the electrical circuit breakers were located, theres a significant fire suppression there. the pilots have fire extinguishers to put out the fire and we would not have had that type of loss of only two systems. at 1:07 a.m., the data stream from the aircraft was shut down. at 1:23 a.m., the transponder, which provides an enhanced radar plot was also shut down. >> may i ask you, that would not affect the ability to continue flying. we have the reports it was in flight 7 1/2 hours after it t...

System will ping once an hour. >> from a -- from a pilots perspective, is that technology that your average pilot would be aware of? if were talking about someone actively turning off transponders and secondary radar devices, would they know to turn off the system by which this pinging occurs? >> a commercial pilot at this level would know the details intimately. you know where circuit brakers are, various parts -- circuit breakers are, various parts of the plane. that may be beyond the scope of...

Is the acars system. >> thats not something they would typically turn off. my understand that involves pulling circuit breakers which are on the roof of the airplane. you would have to know what youre looking for. thats not something a pilot would typically deal with. >> this model of plane is relatively new. >> 777 came out in 95. a flew on the inaugural commercial flight on united airlines, they were the first customer. they updated, theres a 300 model and 300 e.r. the planes are heavily elect...

Mh-370 took off at 12:41 a.m. local time. at 1:07 a.m., the aircraft communications addressing and reporting system, or acars, which send maintenance information to the ground, sent its last transmission. it was, apparently, disabled sometime within the next half hour after that transmission. a maneuver that may have required someone to climb through a trap door right by the planes left hand front exit in full view of the cabin crew to switch the circuit breakers. at 1:19 a.m., the plane signed ...

Replenish meant. jon: the valujet crash. >> the valujet crash indeed. they can have problems in the hold that do spread to the care aircraft. that would problem think give the pilot time to do something. doesnt really explain the chain of events of the technology being turned off. jon: right it doesnt explain, if there were a cockpit fire, the crew might have started flipping circuit breakers, trying to turn off equipment, trying to find out and isolate the source of the problem but that doesnt ...

Through a trap door right by the planes left hand front exit in full view of the cabin crew to switch the circuit breakers. at 1:19 a.m., the plane signed off from malaysian air traffic control. >> the last voice message from the aircraft was from the co-pilot who said, all right, good night. >> at 1:21 a.m., just as mh-370 was meant to be signing in with vietnams air traffic control, malaysian authorities say the planes transponder, which transmits the planes location to ground controllers, was...

Compartment. >> which we have video of and well show it to you in a bit. >> that systemicattically -- >> it is a fast growing thing. >> the crew may have noticed something going wrong. >> this is what the belly of the airplane looks like, circuit breakers and so on. >> that is it. you know, who knows, ive been trained on the airplane but i dont know what is downstairs. in four years i havent been down there more than twice. >> but again, how would there be -- if you accept that theyre right. tha...
