Part of the team that helped find air france flight 447. good morning to both of you. another day, another set of developments we need to discuss. >> marry i want to ask you, last week, kind of where we ended, it was always thought to this point that we were going to detect debris in from the air. and then youre going to send in the pinger locator and youre going to then start the underwater search. how surprising is it for you, of course, a healthy dose of caution, because we dont know what it ...

Cockpit of the plane, mary? >> this is another theory. again, id like to know if they have additional information. in the beginning four weeks ago we were wondering about intention way points did they intentionally travel to way points that put it on a path that was not a straight line. now the theory they have apparently tries to explain different flight paths where it went around indonesia. of course wait points would have helped direct it around. its a theory that helps fill in the evidence. ...

Malaysia, canada, france, et cetera. it brings home what this is all about. it is really is now an ocean of tears, they cannot without doubt, to the best of everyones ability, through technical analysis say the plane didded in come down in the far reaches of the ocean. >> now, we are getting the first hint from the australian prime minister, this is not an open ended search. it will come to an end. >> the australian government said it is open ended until they can either say with a strong degree ...

Asian regional carrier. also both pilots suicide. both, though, crashed in the way you might expect a pilot suicide if one could use those wore, nose dive. this is not that. this is something completely and utterly different and very difficult comprehend when you couple it with at least at this point no outward signs of a problem. this is a bizarre suicide. >> so many things that have been bizarre about this case. when it first happened and we first had a ftantalizing bits o information the pilo...

Demanding more answers at this moment in a meeting right now with malaysian government officials. military officials, as well as officials from malaysia airlines. also malaysia airlines has sent a senior boeing 777 pilot to this briefing thats going on at the moment to answer technical questions. and theyre going over satellite data. the speed of the plane. possible flight paths. relatives are asking why did you narrow it down to this particular flight path. its quite technologiciqucal an. and m...

Experience with this in the intelligence field, we have two potential flight paths that the plane might have taken that would be consistent with the initial data that mr-sat got, but drilling down on that data helps exclude the northern route, which seemed impossible anyway, but the fact that we now know generally where that plane was headed and may have found the debris field still doesnt get us necessarily to the boxes. as i mentioned, if we dont, we may never know what happened, so ill certai...

Also joining the search. weather is reported to be relatively good today for looking for the missing plane but theres indication the weather could deteriorate over the next week and north of the search area theres a cyclone being reported now. of course, the malaysian authorities say they are still looking in the northern area just in case the plane did go north instead of south. back to you. david, thank you so much for that update. here with more this morning is a former ntsb board member....

Reelection efforts. but we begin with the search for malaysian flight 370. in just a few hours it will be daylight in australia and searchers are hoping that saturdays efforts prove more fruitful than todays search which spotted no trace of the debris spotted by satellite imagery five days ago. the search revolves around those images of two large pieces of debris, one almost 80 feet in length, the other shorter, about 16 feet in length. no evidence exists yet, but these are definitely -- that th...

One of the projected flight paths of the missing airliner. its about four hours off the western shoreline of australia. u.s. navy and new zealand air force are assisting with the search of this. john young with the australian maritime association spoke this morning. listen to this. >> the relatives are relatively indistinct on the imagery. those who are expert indicate they are credible sightings. the indication to me is of objects that are reasonable size and probably awash with water moving up...

Seriously. they do believe it is a promising lead. >> the moment that this imagery was discovered to reveal possible object that might indicate a debris field, we have passed the information. quite simply it is credible enough to divert the research to this area on the basis it provides a promising lead to what might be wreckage. >> reporter: so military planes will continue the search. the australian airport based in perth will be deploying its aircraft, as well as u.s. forces and also the new ...
