180-degree turn and gone back to kuala lumpur or perhaps diverted to the closest airport. so now -- but we do have to consider the possibility that yeah you could have had depressurization. the crew could have tried to get the airplane back and then become incapacitated. the airplane as mary says will continue to fly in whatever heading. so if they had turned their auto pilot into heading mode and tried to turn back around it could continue to go off in that direction. so thats still a possibili...

Why? because pings were picked up by a satellite. these pings do not indicate exactly the location, the heading, anything else about this particular plane. they just say, im here. im here, im here. its kind of like if you had xm satellite radio in your car and never subscribed and the satellite knew you existed. thats kind of all that happened. so the question is, as that plane continued to travel and as it gave off a ping, only once an hour, can they use some sort of mathematical calculation in...

Partnering in the search and following leads where we find them. mary. >> i think what they are doing is taking two pieces of information that may not be accurate, but its all they got. if you couple the sighting or one radar tracing that somebody saw on an island to the west of malaysia. they said the plane turned around and headed past malaise why near a small island. they have a heading. if you put that in connection with the engine information, true or not, whether it exists or not, the imag...

Presumably? >> i would think so, jake. they are going to be searching for every little radar that they can find because they need a heading on that plane and an altitude. so you draw that arc and you look at countries like pakistan and you get into your superman novels and see the plane landing somewhere and repurposing it for some deed down the road. thats not beyond the realm of realism. i mean, that could happen. why else would you do that? why would you take a plane off your normal route, sh...

There was a supplement to what ja uh is saying. early in the interview, this plane transmits a lot of data. the ire airplane transmits data. at the minimum it transmits altitude and heading. any of these trends would go back to malaysia airlines. >> i have been told malaysia did not buy that package. it was too expensive. i think they started, but they stopped paying for it. >> they didnt buy the package for the airplane or the entire air fleet? >> they bought it for the engines because that pac...

>> right. but if that happened, would there still be no way of anybody on board the plane indicating to the airline that there was this problem going on? are you assuming that theres been some catastrophic fault maybe involving lack of oxygen or something which means no one is in capacity able to do that? >> well, i dont know what happened to the crew or anyone on board. thats not part of my theory. but if there was a certain electrical malfunction that took out both the transponder and the flig...

Were now hearing that authorities will confirm that the flight did take this veering off course of some several hundred miles. you say its still most likely it was a catastrophic event maybe dealing with the directive about the cracks in the fuselage but then how would it make it hundreds of miles? >> because the 777 has an interesting system. when you start losing systems, they shut down other systems. its intended to do this. it preserves the flight controls as best that it can and the -- it t...

Warnings. boeing had a warning out in november and most recently they renewed it saying there were fuselage cracking. obviously, communications would go down. i think what the malaysian government needs to do -- they clearly didnt think it was a hijacking, because they allowed it to fly right back over the air space and over the country. they were trying very hard to communicate, but could not. what they need to do is find the fuel on board and track that same heading to where the fuel would run...

The smoke momentarily just cleared. one of the striking features had been the amount of smoke that had been passing by. the other notable feature, i dont know if you can see it back near those buildings, train tracks. one of the main arteries. all of the trains going to connecticut and many heading elsewhere. right now, thats shut down. thousands and thousands of commuters could be affected by this blast. i want to bring in my colleague, don lemon, who doesnt live too, too far from here. what ar...

Lady and his daughters. so what exactly did he buy? your "new day" continues right now. >> announcer: this is new day with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and mckayla perez. welcome to "new day." wednesday, march 12th. 8:00 in the east. we are joined by brooke baldwin in for kate. malaysia officials confirming that they have expanded the search. the new area backwards of the direction the plane should have been heading. the question is, why. a senior mill lasalaysian officd it strayed. that area w...
