Failure, it would be because of fuel starvation or intentionally cutoff. this reasons the planes altitude if flight mh-370 dropped to a lower altitude heres where we would see a change and if someone onboard deliberately altered the flight path, we will see this line start to dip or rise depending on the direction. >> i think one of the important things that people will be looking at is who was in control of the aircraft. so when we look thea t a so when we look thea tt the datm the flight data ...

>> i love this job. >> if youre someone whos done well, youre expected to give back. >> relax, let me do what i got to do. >> whats the cost of a human life? >> we got to take up the sleeping giant thats not doing what they need to do. >> this is a cnn special report, the mystery of flight 370. we have breaking news on the hunt for the missing plane. in a news conference just a short time ago, the head of the joint agency coordination center said this about the search. >> we looked at how the ai...

Nose dived the aircraft, if there was a mechanical problem. >> there would be all kinds of indications. theyd be able to tell which engine turned off first. if it was because of fuel starvation, or intentionally cut off. >> this line represents the planes altitude. if it dropped to a lower altitude, here is where wed see a change. if someone on board deliberately altered the flight path, well see this line dip or rise depending on the direction. >> i think one of the important things that people...
