To turn right here and turn left here and change altitudes here. these are wave points in an international airway across the sky. when you plot the route that this plane took using the pings, this is what it shows. it shows it went along those wave points. even the malaysians and the united states and even the u.s. navy says, there is not 100% confidence in this information but pardon the pun, in a sea of confusion, you have to follow every lead you possibly can. thats why this has taken on a si...

They are moving the assets and the cost, i suspect they have an area they want to search. >> did someone deliberately turn off the planes communication systems? >> we dont know. its possible to have a cascading fire melt down of the system that you lose the navigation systems and lose communications and tron respoan. >> we know its shut down. 1:21 a.m. 14 minutes after the plaens data reporting system shut down, the communications were shut down manually. thats why i ask you that we. >> not nece...

Fox news alert that weve been watching so closely. brand-new clues suggest the jet may have been sabotaged and now the search is turning to land. heather, exactly where are they looking? >> yeah. it sounds amazing. now looking at some land and possibly some islands that uninhabited. india now announcing this morning that it will begin searching several islands just west of the area for flight 370. some of these islands are completely uninhabited in the indian ocean. so far no details on what the...

There is no account that signal was ever sent. >> at 1:07 on saturday, the data reporting system was shut down and 14 minutes later, that trance ponder was turned off. tell us about the data responding system. >> there are a lot of things on this airplane that are sending out data. that can be a little broad in that term. sometimes it has been confusing. we are not sure what it is. mitchell, explain, what are the various things transmitting out information. >> you have acar to send short but vic...

Understandable. hopefully well do it again at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. i hope so. the mystery deepens into what happened to malaysian flight 370. data reporting system and transponder were turned off separately and reuters citing unnamed sources and military radar new evidence that someone deliberately and secretly rerouted that plane towards the indian ocean and flew for hours after the last contact. so, who was that someone? was it the pilot, co-pilot or someone else? pamela brown is investi...

That would not lead you in the direction of failure. if this is true, this would mean it was some sort of deliberate act. and theres the data reporting system, at 1:07 a.m. shut down. and the transponder, shut down at 1:21 a.m. thank you for joining us. what is your speinterpretation this? >> well, its starting to look like this had to have been a deliberate act. a very resilient airplane, you probably would not have that length of time between them. could we construct a theory

>> the investigation becomes narrower with time. >> we dont know a whole lot. >> this is not a normal investigation. as we enter the second week of searching for malaysian airlines flight 370, the search area is growing and so, too, are suspicions of foul play. either a hijacking or pilot sabotage. u.s. officials say two different tracking systems on board the aircraft, a data reporting system and the transponder, were turned off separately which is a strong indication that this was done manua...

Assumption alone it is simply a matter -- akin to logging on and off the computer. so if the pilot chose to log off the system which is the data link system to the controllers that would be easy enough. there is a secondary system to that likewise -- >> just to clarify on that. the data reporting system was shut down at 1:07 a.m. according to abc news, the transponder shut down at 1:20 a.m. >> yeah, and for the pilot to shut that down, that is reaching over and shutting down one switch. not a di...
