The big mystery. i think as they go through his house, if it indeed is this malaysian pilot or co-pilot as well, they will find connections that will be of high interest to u.s. intelligence. >> lets talk about the two paths. theres a northern path and southern path that they are looking into. the northern flight path, it takes a plane to western china and the uighur region, an area that has had issues with china. could the plane conceivably have been flown into this area without being detected?...

Significant aviation experience. that leads investigators to the two pilots as possible suspects. one thing was made very clear at this mornings press conference and that was the two men had not asked to fly together. so any speculation that they may have been working together to help coordinate this event, that seems to have been dashed by that information. both of their homes have been searched. and the pilot, who was 53 and had 18,000 hours of flying experience he joined the airline on 1981. ...

Does it match the route that this flight 370 took. thats the information that theyll be looking for from the flight simulator. theres also other kinds of clues. remember, when they say they believe that somebody on that plane might have deliberately flown this flight path, they said it could be hijacking, could be sabotage, could be theyre looking into personal problems that the pilots may have had. theyre not ruling anything out. nothing to indicate one specific reason at the moment which is wh...

Couple hundred feet off the deck. then you have to climb over the himalayas, waste some fuel to get up there, and then here is kazakhstan. this is not a flight path. we are focusing on the red line here, they are not flight paths. it is a line that says the plane was on this line at 8:11 a.m. thats it. its just a point. this is also not a potential flight path. it just means thats where the plane happened to be. >> but if we look at what you just demonstrated there and talk about the possibility...

Simulator. the police also visited the home of the co-pilot. according to malaysian airlines the pilot and co-pilot did not ask to fly together on 370. >> you heard there the police removed a home made flight simulator from zaharie ahmad shah. this is an experienced pilot, known as an aviation junky, created his own flight simulator. not that unusual he would have it but police are looking at it as a precaution to see if there are any clues as to why or how the plane might have taken this wrong ...

Great to have both of you with us. theres so much here to talk about. but when we put this reporting together, john, we have a plane that turned off of its flight path, started to switch direction dramatically, switch altitude dramatically and seemed to level out heading out. and then made a choice, im going to go left or right. when you put all that together, lets faulk about motive. who would want to do this or could this have happened in any way, shape or form with everybody on the plane bein...
