Basing this information on things like satellite data, radar data, and aircraft performance to kind of guess where the plane may have ended up. >> it is a guessing game. thank you. >> as you probably know, laws require commercial planes with pingers in the black boxes so that searchers can locate them in case of any crash like this. but its not a miracle device. the battery there lasts for only so long. about 30 days, sometimes as much as 45. and weather, boat noise 0, silt on the bottom of the ...

From the cockpit resivising it from all right, good night, to good night, malaysian 370. we are also learning that malaysian investigators are convinced someone in the cockpit or on board the plane was responsible for that sudden turn off course. a government source tells cnn authorities consider the planes turn a criminal act. >> then, there is this development. a new "wall street journal" report saying that search teams were looking in the wrong place for three days, because of poor coordinati...

We cant tell you what is the data its based on, we cant tell you. >> and we wont tell you. its not we cant tell you. that leads us to something that is not about the mansions but is about z malaysians. it is so difficult for so many to accept the notion that in today owes surveillance society, nobody saw this plane. diego garcia, this huge u.s. outpost thats in the region, how could nobody have seen this plane? arent you pretty suspicious about this, about why didnt anybody see it? >> remember h...

Controllers were released. they saw the transcript first. maybe added pressure from the family will force officials to release other things, jim. >> you know, it certainly poses the question on that front. that is if you want to blame the pilots for this as many have been wanting to do, you look at this transcript and say theres no evidence here. you also have -- if there was a political motive, wheres the manifesto. if it was a hijacking, where are demands. its all kinds of things that dont add...

The southern indian ocean and what essentially lost time against these black boxes which have about 30 days of battery life left on them. >> this is costly stuff. you have a lot of planes and ships flying over there. what was inmarsats involvement? you mentioned that inmarsat was, quote, a long way removed. meanwhile, inmarsat had arguably the best information on the map. why were they not involved more closely? >> certainly early on during the first three weeks of the investigation, inmarsat wa...
