Joining me now, michael goldfarb, former chief of staff for the federal aviation administration. >> good evening, chris. >> good evening. there are so many conflicting reports pinging around, i thought maybe we would sort of start at the most basic and build out what we actually hard confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt know. can we do that? >> maybe. its a complete and utter mess. there is no investigation. if there was, it started yesterday when finally the malaysian authority worked with ntsb...

Consistent with a barlarge boei 777. it was in the flight path of the airliner so far they have come up with nothing. it appears it may be a dead end. heather? >> doug luzader the mystery deepens. thank you. this morning three people are dead in ohio after a massive pileup or several pileups stretched across the two-mile section between toledo and cleveland. 50 vibings were involved. >> it impacted the situation yesterday and northeast as late as early this morning and we are expecting more sn...

Fuel actually was loaded on to that plane before it took off or making the assumption it was only enough to get to beijing and another hour or so? >> no. they havent verified how much fuel was on board. they have say that the plane had enough fuel to make it as far as kazakhstan after it was last seen on radar. and kazakhstan, obviously is a long way from malaysia. >> but they are not at least -- they are not giving us the precise numbers and saying we can say for certain this how much fuel was ...

Is something the pilots can do manually. and they do it whenever they land. also it is very telling to me, if you remember back with the stewart crash that was a decompression issue. that was a case where they actually flew jets up and saw that the people inside had died. if that happened, number one it wouldnt be off course, and number two you wouldnt have the descending altitudes at 45,000, and 32,000 feet. it tells me somebody was flying the plane, and it means possibly human air piracy. >> t...

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 defense secretary. peter, let me sta...

Remote area about four hours offshore from the city of perth in australia with within a possible identified flight path. theres a big catch, the satellite images youve been seeing all day are four days old and thats a long time for debris to move around. >> we must keep this in mind. the task of locating these objects will be extremely difficult. and it may turn out that they are not related to the search for flight mh 370. >> the australia authorities have called in the cavalry, including speci...

Hasnt changed, was there a fire or a mechanical problem on board that mapped out the computers and communication? did someone breach the cockpit and take control of the plane? or were the pilots themselves complicit, heres the planes original flight path north to beijing, the plane suddenly turns west. whoever changed the flight path, did so by typing into an on board computer rather than manually turn the plane. the auto pilot was already preprogrammed on the ground, meaning those new coordinat...

On the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370. you heard the malaysian prime minister saying the plane veered off its flight path because of, quote, deliberate action by someone on the plane. nbcs keir simmons is in kuala lumpur. >> reporter: it was a sobering news conference here with the malaysian prime minister announcing that they are now confident that flight 370 was being controlled by someone before it disappeared. and after he spoke, we saw detectives arrive at the home of the pil...

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...

First 26 minutes of that flight, the pilots were already changing the flight path. so what we had originally thought was the plane had gone up basically flying toward its original course to beijing and signing 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. >> so the pilots had intentionally changed thei...
