What are they looking for in the headline we have is the deletion date was february 3rd. obviously, if he was practicing a bunch of routes, thats long time ago to have deleted but now you have this malaysian newspaper, emphasized, we have not confirmed this, saying they found there are five airports near the indian ocean on that flight simulator. >> think the fbi will be looking for deleted files for sure, but that is only one part of the treasure trove of information that you find on a computer...

Statements to consumers in the whole time and thats why they will pay 1.2 billion. this was a four year criminal probe and so it is a big deal. >> a lot of cars are recalled here. this is a costly mistake for toyota, right? >> the numbers are staggering and started in 2009. and the total of 10 million cars that were recalled for brakes, gas pedals and floor mats. and an investigation in the computer system and they paid 66 million in fines. that is nothing compared to the billion right now. toyo...

Sources tell nbc news correspondent tom costello the airplanes western turn, that key turn off the original course, it was programmed into the jetliners computer system before the planes communication sent out its last known data transmission. thus a turn was preprogrammed from the cockpit. now what does that mean? the turn was premeditated, it was included in the final data transmitted before the communication system went down, and according to nbc news sources, the turn was programmed 12 minut...

A second. >> yeah. so this one is for mary from tristan. why would one program a computer system if they didnt plan on landing somewhere? >> ordinarily you plan your flight come ut pooers for places you dont intend to land because you have to have emergency plans before you ever take off. you have to have enough fuel to get to your primary and secondary in case something happens. so you actually program and have flight coordinates for airports other than the ones that youre going to but its to d...

Were no problems with the flight. a timeline that would seem to strongly suggest foul play by the co-pilot and anyone else active in the cockpit at the time. but, crucial caveat, former national transportation safety board investigator greg feith told nbc news this new information does not necessarily by itself indicate ill intentions. according to feith, "some pilots will program into an alternate flight path in the event of emergency. we dont know what the reason was for this particular flight...

>> we were talking earlier, right. >> we want to know. >> what is fishy. go any way you want with that. >> what is fishy, folks. >> send me a tweet at bill hemmer. >> and to me sandra smith fbn. >> toyota will pay a fine to the government for safety issues. they with held information about deadly unintended acceleration. melissa francis from the fox business network. tell us about the big settlement. this is huge not only for this company but all automakers. >> oh, absolutely. remember toyota, s...

Tacks, the u-turn you said had to be made by a pilot. >> well, it is a little difficult to explain, so lets take it slowly. basically the first turn that this plane took off of its path was done by a computer system on the plane. it was not done manually by a pilot. >> what does that tell us? >> now, that computer system can only do that if someone on the plane or someone shortly before the plane took off program med that into the plane. so that means that whoever did this had to have known what...

Thank you so much. >> investigators are asking just what happened inside the cockpit of that jet, and as evidence mounts that the flight was deliberately turned off course and the turn may have been preprogrammed into that computer system. former fbi agent jeff beatty says if its true, it may actually remove one possibility from the list of what could have happened to this jet. >> if im a family member, i see some encouragement here, because if youve programmed -- if youre the pilot and you prog...

Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work. we know the aircrafts first turn to the west, that left turn was carried out ...

Done that. so the more points that it hits the longer that they can say that the plane was being controlled by this computer system. ultimately what does that mean? it provides a little insight for now, but otherwise, you know, im still a bit stumped. >> yes, i think we all are. and so are they. im curious. they told us the flight is believed to have gone up to some 45,000 feet, which is above where its supposed to go. but we dont know exactly when. especially not in relation to this new revelat...
