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. >> deviated, whats more, they say the plane was flown off course deliberately. hello to you all. im t.j. holmes. craig melvin is off today. you are watching msnbc. right now, the questions, who else on board that flight -- theyre still trying to figure out, those are the big questions we have right now.

Miniter, we talked with our own shep smith, more information on the plane that was not only descending, that it went off course and flew four to five su looks more and more like air piracy. >> it could well n the strongest evidence is the wild gyrations of the flight. looks like the flight path for the last minutes of united flight 93 which crashed in pennsylvania on 9-11. they kept rocking the plane back and forth. in the last minutes of this flight that disappeared there may well have been a f...

How to get that information out so that we can aid the search to find this aircraft. >> whats an end game here? >> i think the end game is to find the aircraft. >> i mean i know from our side, that makes perfect sense. from their side. can you see -- if we see this erratic flight path and trajectory maybe some idea where they were going, whats your sense of what their end game was? >> im not sure. at this point i think we would need to retrieve the black boxes to really determine what was going ...

But what it does go to is as the u.s. intelligence community has looked at the technical data, theyve asked themselves the question, how could it be? how could these changes have happened? what are the reasonable ways these very significant changes in flight path, the erratic part of the flight path, the altitude changes, what can we explain away? what cant we explain aerodyna things happen? they look at it. and increasingly over the last many hours as they have looked at it, it is becoming hard...

Breaking news coverage continues in the search for the malaysian airlines flight which disappeared one week ago at this hour. a u.s. official says erratic movements were shown on radar. officials tell barbara starr that they believe the jet likely went down in the indian ocean hours and hours away from where it was supposed to be playing. this is classified analysis. tom forman, this latest reporting that we have, how did officials determine this is where the plane could be since it was supposed...

Planet they have to look at. renee, what do we know about the flight path based on the information we have so far? i know nothing is definitive, but what best guesses are investigators able to make at this point? >> well, we know from the latest presser that happened today we got more detail about the final flight path of this plane here. we have our own model 777 here. so this is what we know. the acars system, which essentially tells you all about everything going on, the condition of the plan...

And days to come or fall apart as we cautioned? if this is not an accident but an act of terrorism or some kind, a deliberate act, its worth noting no one appears to have tried to take credit for it. on the other hand, we looked at this today and found most acts of terrorism do go completely unclaimed. we have seen credible claims for just 14% of all terrorist acts since 1998. a lot of them start as mysteries and confoundingly, frustratingly, they stay mysteries. >> whatever the outcome of this ...

Information was accurate. and what i think were correct interpretations were later abandoned because of that report. >> that is a good point, because one of the things were all assuming, the pings going westward, thanks to the satellites, are correct. and if that is not correct the jet may have never veered off the course -- >> well, here is a scenario, we take a flight, take it out west. a and look at what everybody is saying. they looked at the trajectory of the aircraft and said it must have ...

Reports were accurate. what i think were correct interpretations were abandoned. >> one of the things were assuming is that this information about the pings are correct. and if that is not correct then this jet may have never veered off of its course. >> here is the scenario. >> go ahead oochl okay. we take a flight out west. look what everybody is saying now. they look at the trajectory and said it must have crashed in the indian ocean. >> west. >> yes >> so they shut the system down. why did t...

Flight path that that airplane took. part of that deduction has got to come from radar traces. so its not necessarily indicative that it disappeared 100%. its possible that were drawing, connecting dots to come up with those two arcs. not being in the search planners rooms i cant say thats what theyve done. if i were the search planner thats what i would be doing. >> one of the things they were talking about, too, is that this -- if this 777 lost power, lets say, even though theyre saying this w...
