Calmly saying, all right. good night. in response to the routine handover to their vietnamese counterparts. and instead of the search getting more narrow, ten days in, the search area is larger than ever. nbcs tom costello has been following this from the beginning. >> lets go right to the map and discuss this. we talked about how this developed over the weekend. to begin with, whats happening now is as they continue to look for any sign of this plane along these two arcs, this way and this way....

Why wouldnt malaysias military react to flight 370 flying in its spare space and off its beijing-bound track? are you suggesting malaysia was not just negligent but perhaps even complicit? >> no, im not going that far. what im suging is if you look at the north route that this plane, one of the projected paths this plane took and you combine it today with the request from malaysian authorities for 25 countries to submit radar data, when you put this all together it becomes very telling, and it t...

That egyptair with the pilot did commit suicide. >> let me just briefly set this up if i can. egyptair, flight 990 crashed in 1999 off the coast new england. and it was later determined by the ntsb and you were leading the investigation, that it was pilot suicide. tell us what you did there and how you think that might apply here. >> the difference was, we had five different sets of radar, monitoring egyptair. we were able to recover the data recorder and the voice recorder nine days after the a...
