Welcome back. once again, breaking developments overnight. investigators are in the process of verifying signals detected in the indian ocean that could be flight 370s black box. they call it the best lead theyve had so far. meantime, a source for the malaysian government is now telling cnn the plain skirted indonesia, possibly, to avoid the radar. lets bring in david soucie, a cnn safety analyst and the author of "why planes crash." hes also an faa inspector. david, i want to focus mostly if i ...

The plane was placed at 8:19 a.m. the day it disappeared. the australians believe its the most likely place that the plane went down. also emerging, new details about the pelanes flight path. officials say that the plane made a left turn skirting indonesia. could it be that someone in the cockpit and flying was trying to avoid radar? we may be one step to finding out if the new signals detected are truly from the planes black boxes. and if it is and they found the black boxes, that truly would b...

But the pings, to answer your question, in that part of the ocean, people have said it could be a biological tag on an animal for scientists or fishing gear or that type of thing? and i think i stated last night on cnn that most of the scientists that weve worked with in the past when theyve used biological tags, they dont have it pinging every second. that uses up the battery and it would be gone in 30 days or 60 days. so they have a ping every minute or every 30 minutes or whatever so they can...

Indonesian detection? >> its hard to alert an emergency scenario. what is more interesting about that flight path is when you overlay it to the known waypoints, these are arbitrary points in the sky that makes navigation simpler. this plane was flying to waypoints and presumably that was pinged in. somebody with aviation expertise was involved one way or the other of charting out that course. not only was it deliberately set up to avoid radar exposure, it had the waypoints build in. >> it was do...

Respect. >> appreciate you pointing that out. another good segment from you, my brother. see you tomorrow. >> no good-bye? >> thats all right. coming up on "new day," was flight 370 intention that he will trying to avoid radar detection? new information on the flight path and shocking new questions. why was the plane thrown that way. do they know? can they know? were going to give you what theyre saying, and were going to test it coming up. in the last 23 years, but i needed help in quitting s...

Far-fetched. >> it it was to avoid flying over the peninsula country. it was actually to avoid going over the land mass. because going over the land mass would have attracted far more attention. >> so this is is all feeding into somebody did this on purpose idea? >> and at that point, you and i will go our separate directions. because who did what where, when and why, i think we have to leave for another day. >> im with you on that. i dont believe we have enough to work on with this flight path ...

It goes down to 12,000 feet and then it goes slower and burns more fuel and ends up almost at that point that seems to be the area of highest probability. >> are we going to know from the flight data recorder exactly what the flight path was? >> yes. not only that- >> every single -- >> one thing we do know is that it went around the tip of indonesia. weve known that since march 25th. >> right. theres a record of it. >> no. we know that because thats the radar data and the first six satellite ha...

Us. richard, weve talked a lot about this indonesian radar issue. theyve been very quiet, all 17 countries have responded; but not them. go ahead. >> a.p. reported on march the 17th that indonesia military said they had no trace of mh370 on the night. and not only that, indonesia said theyve handed over all the data requested to malaysia. so, although they have been very quiet, i think we have to agree theyve not exactly been at the forefront of this, they have said they have no trace of mh370, ...

"the new york times" officials searching for the flight 370 say they have their best lead yet looking at signals from deep in the indian ocean. >> significantly this would be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. clearly this is the most promising lead, and probably in the search so far its the -- its probably the best information that we have had. >> the signals were picked up about 1,000 miles northwest of perth, australia. thats along...

Was from the military radar. and that theres no secondary ping. theres no ping saying yes, this is that aircraft. theres nothing that says, yeah, i am flight 370s. so looking at radar, when you do from that perspective of not knowing when youre looking at, it can vary quite a bit. theres quite awe few dots out there that have no meaning, other than a flock of birds perhaps. or other items that pop up on the radar. and on typical radar, you discard those things, you turn your intensity down and f...
