Err pla airplane. >> and youre seeing the visual depiction of that. the yellow lines are the estimations of where the flight path could have been because of the hand shakes. and youre also seeing the locations of some of the pings. in the left youre seeing this aerial search. jeffrey, tell me if you feel as if certain information throughout this entire month has been held back by certain countries for national interests. and based on hearing angus houston today, we are so close, didnt want to co...

Airplane from the inmarsat pings, plus radar data from various countries that track this airplane momentarily. so they are looking on the right flight path. they are looking exactly where inmarsat, the satellite provider, said that the last known transmission came from this airplane. the last acknowledgment came from this airplane. so it certainly is -- theres also a sense that theres a little bit more to it -- to this than they are telling us. for instance, theres a british nuclear submarine ou...

Week ago now was the final set of calculations done off the inmarsaf satellite, hand shake pings we heard about. this was the seventh calculus theyve done on this after, you know, bringing more radar down from various countries that had tracked this airplane in southeast asia. and they drew up this flight path and they sent ocean shield and hms echo, the british ship, to trod along this line. this is where they found the pings. and interestingly, according to inmarsat, the exact location where t...

Himself as credible to the malaysian people, and speaking straight with them. on the other hand, there really is something that he has to do for the families. he has to show them a bit of respect and be sensitive to their concerns. it would be insensitive to pronounce their family members dead before the first piece of debris is found, john. >> absolutely. i think everyone will agree with that. so, joe, mixed messages about the flight path. was there a conscious, and some say, suspicious, move t...

Tank erupted on twa 800 as it climbed to 14,000 feet leaving new york, the result was three separate debris fields and a tireless search to find all the parts. the same thing could be true in malaysia air exploded or caught on fire. >> because that fire would have lasted for a bit of time in a cargo department, perhaps could have gone through the aircraft, and things would have come out. so you would have more debris along a longer flight path. >> reporter: a hard landing or crash into the water...

They dont know what it is without a transponder on it. i wonder if this was an effort to make it difficult for people to use cell phones by staying over water. thats an option as well. >> mary, how about you? youre skeptical about this flight path mostly because you dont think indonesia has the ability to say 100% the plane didnt cross its airspace. how so? >> thats right. i want goes back to the old saying how do you prove a negative. i did some research on the indonesian airspace and what was ...

Pulses. but those came from a different search area all together, 300 nautical miles from the australian find. chinese television showed images of the crew using a basic sonar device on a small rubber boat to pick up sounds. given the distance between the two locations could both be from flight 370, australian officials say its possible but unlikely. a new potential flight path only complicates the picture. a senior malaysian government source telling cnn the aircraft skirted indonesian airspace...

Disappeared. many gathered in beijing overnight for a somber vigil. pauline chiou has been with the families for weeks now. pauline, whats the feeling there today? >> reporter: well, it was a very poignant night from 12:41, and thats when this vigil started -- that marked the moment that the plane had taken off a month ago from kuala lumpur. now, the families all got together, and they gathered in that big room thats normally the briefing room, but they pushed aside all of the chairs and they li...

Theyve drawn up a line, a flight path line of this airplane, and this is where that flight path is, and also inmarsat have also said that, in fact, the actual location where the ocean shield is right now is where they believe the last handshake was made from the 777. so from that perspective, theres a very high level of confidence that this is the spot, and the fact that weve got these pings re-enforces that significantly. >> so, if this is the spot where they heard the pings and where the inmar...

Flight 370 may have taken a route into the indian ocean after it made the baffling turn. this flight path taken around indonesia and raises the possibility the aircraft was being piloted or programmed to avoid radar. like everything else so far these latest leads are tantalizing. >> reporter: after weeks scouring the indian ocean, this is the best lead yet in the desperate search from malaysian flight 370. >> its been detected signals consistent with those emitted by aircraft black box. >> repor...
