Happened on board. >> reporter: its one of the most remote places on earth and new calculations indicate this is where flight 370 went down. the plane went south before crashing into the middle of the indian ocean. this new information is helping plot the flight path. >> if this is indeed the crash site, it does sound like the flight path is directly from the original turn after the last broadcast and it stayed pretty much on a straight line. >> reporter: if the analysis is accurate, after fligh...

Radar is sneaking but you are out of coverage. you are hide pg. the low altitude insurgent that happens after that left turn was probably a diving left turn, if this data is true -- if this data is true and they dropped down to 12,000 feet it could have been turn off all of the reporting devices, break from the normal flight path where everybody is expecting it to go this way, now instead of going this way you go that way and you drop out of site. >> they are heading westbound toward the city fr...

Have been able to shed more light on mh-370s flight path. it is therefore with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that according to this new data, flight mh-370 ended in the southern indian oce ocean. >> several ships are headed to the area where debris perhaps was spotted. the crews are using flares to mark the spots in the water. one is described as an orange rectangular object, the other a gray or green circular object. authorities say that this is the most promising lead that the...

They informed me that the uk company that provided the satellite data, which indicate ed northern and southern corridors has been performing further calculations on the data. using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on mh 370s flight path. based on their new analysis, they and the aaiv have concluded that mh 370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last position was in the middle

Cockpit, getting hundreds and thousands of data points every second. that kind of information is stored on the aircraft so it goes down with the aircraft. and so to find that information we have to find the aircraft and hopefully find the box and hopefully it survived. >> there has to be a cost-effective solution to this where we can transmit the data that we need, maybe not all the data but in the event the flight deviates from the flight path or there are problems with some of the equipment, m...

Retired commercial airline pilot. this is a came that came via twitter but its a smart one because it gets to another possibility as to why pilots might take a turn. it comes from someone named ziggy. if catastrophic failure and all instruments become nonfunctio l nonfunctional, what would experienced pilots do? if not preprogrammed, if reacting to something that happened in that cockpit, what would you do in that situation and how quickly? and based on that, would how this plane behave be consi...

Dont think we have any theories that i could propound. >> with dramatic changes in the aircrafts altitude reported, former inintelligetlielligence land security officials say the pilots may have taken heroic action. >> once the wreckage and presumably the aircrafts black boxes are found, investigators will determine whether flight 370 was taken down by a criminal act or a catastrophic event. >> joining me now with more mike boyd, peter brooks a former cia officer and former deputy assistant defe...

Areas -- >> u.s. officials were also open to the possibility of terrorism. >> we know that there are terrorists group would are still determined to carry them out against aircraft. >> days later the malaysian government was quick to down-play hijacking reports. >> despite media reports that the plane was hijacked, i wish to be very clear, we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused mh 370 to deviate from its original flight path. >> with 152 chinese nationals among the missing...

To 26. then -- >> investigators are telling within the first 26 minutes to have flight, the pilots were already changing the flight path. what we had originally thought, the plane was flying on its original course to beijing and signing off with air traffic control and then making the westerly turn, we now know that within those first 26 minutes, they had reprogrammed the flight plan and were already starting to turn west, far before they even signed off with air traffic control. >> reporter: so...
