Coming from the malaysian government just today. 34 days into the investigation, investigators now say it was flight 370s captain, zahari shaw, who said those last words to air traffic controllers, "good night, malaysian 370." for a long time, we actually thought they were different words spoken by the co-pilot. im joined again by mary schiavo and jeff wise. before i talk about the last words, i want to go back to another key piece of information we just learned from nic robertson. the idea that...

Its got to be. an airplane fuselage is like an egg shell. once you crack it open, its open and things will come out through that crack. we just have to find it. i agree with something said earlier. we just havent looked in the right place. >> to you, jeff, five weeks out, the fact theres no debris, no debris has been found, does that give more credence, do you think, to the scenario the plane could be under water, more or less intact? >> well, you know, it seems like such an extraordinary chain ...

Will sink. >> stick around, mike. i want to bring in jeff wise, author of the science of your mind and danger. the former inspector general of the transportation and lieutenant colonel michael kay, a former adviser to the ministry of defense. david souci, author of why planes crash. jim till mon ocean search specialist rob mechanical. michael kay, first to you. you are about 70% convinced we are in the right area. why not 100%. >> i think it is usually positive we have four pings but we have to ...

In the next, you know, period of time, few hours or even, you know, minutes, et cetera, and then much later they scrambled, not escort jets, but search jets to go search for it. you know, theres just too many hours there that are unaccounted for. its very unusual. i think there needs to be a lot more information about what happened in that intervening time, in that gap. theres a big gap there when their planes missing. >> and its also key to know, they searched in the straits of malacca. that is...

And according to thmalaysian authorities today, they went from 35,000 feet, dipped down to 3,000 or 4,000 feet and then go back up to altitude which they said they were back up to altitude when they picked them up again. they could have done it for depressurization, but then why go back up to altitude? it makes no sense. you wouldnt want to hop back up into the busy traffic lanes. theres so much that doesnt make sense about that. >> why get there? who gets it there? why, then, turn again? so man...

Other areas but by now it is hundreds of miles away. they are hoping that once they zero in on a smaller search area for the submersibles, they will find the wreckage literally right there. they hopefully will find it right under the spot where they are. not hundreds of miles away. its technically possible. you are trained to ditch on the water. most people cant really do it. specially in ocean waves and at night. it wouldnt be bright lights. it is technically possible. you are trained to do wat...
