To -- this is 40,000 feet per minute, approaching 700 miles an hour. the plane would be breaking apart at this point. >> reporter: this is where stuff is falling off the aircraft at this point. it would make it almost impossible to fly, which then that brings us to the next thing, trying to level off to think that this airplane was then reported to level off at 23,000 feet, its hard to believe it was still structurally in tact to do that. and then the g-forces alone on the passengers would be --...

Good night, are recorded. and those are available. and undoubtedly, the malaysian authorities have listened to them. and in this country, certainly, its very usual, fredricka, for the airline and the investigators during an investigation to bring in, listen to to tapes, pilots, training pilots or other pilots from the company, who knew or who flew with both the captain and the first officer for the purpose of seeing if they can identify their voices. marys correct. you can use voice spectra grap...

Clear, im not going to enter the exact code, but it would be like this. now the aircraft is automatically admitting its under a hijack situation. on the ground, alarm bells are now ringing, jets are scrambling to intercept. theres no indication that happened, but it could have been done. what you find with the simulation each time you run the scenarios is its still a mystery and were no closer to finding the plane or the people who were on it. jim? >> martin savage on a 777 simulator. richard, y...

Literally coming off, and if you can level off, which mitchell will try to do, you pass such a level of g-force, you cant imagine if its survivable or whether nibble would be conscious. so when you try to run this through this simulator, it really cant be done. >> the actual numbers of 45,000 and 23,000, martin, may be slightly off. they sort of admit that the range or capability of the malaysians might not have been as strong. but the fundamental point of going up and coming down, going up, com...

With me aviation correspondent richard quest who also even flew with the copilot of the missing federli flight for a story cnn did several weeks ago. we know now the plane reportedly made extreme changes in altitude, climbing to 45,000 feet then dropping 23,000 feet. is that even possible to recreate on the flight simulator? >> reporter: its almost impossible. and id have to say we tried to run this through the simulator a number of times. its impossible to make this plane do in the simulator wh...

Now be in jeopardy. whether the plane could survive, whether the pilots could pull it out of such a dive is hard to imagine. if a plane was in any shape to continue flying that, who knows what would have happened to the passengers. lets talk about something else thats been reported. that is that there might have been two conspirators or more. somebody was flying the plane while allegedly another person was down below in the electronics bay below this and they are dismantling systemically some of...

And being pulling back and pushing forward, turning, that certainly is a potential. again, as we mentioned over the last few days, until you get the voice recorder, certainly the flight data recorder, but the voice recorder in particular, you dont even know who was flying and controlling the aircraft movements. >> i know you have been a proponent thinking there was a hijacking. but marty, what about the difficulty of moving altitudes so quickly, as that was happening, the reporting is showing th...

325,000 square miles. they searched for 39 days and like i said, there were two u.s. congressmen on board. >> michael kay, quick comment to that. >> we have to be careful not to compare apples with pears. this is a small aircraft. it would have been flying a lot lower and flying in mountain areas. it may not have been picked up on radar. a lot of differences with the small aircraft and training of the crew and simulator. >> michael kay, thank you. sylvia, thank you. conspiracy they spispiracy....

On the missing plane to the. this time on what could be the two most important people in this mystery. the pilot and co-pilot now a major focus for investigators. trace gallagher has more in the west coast news room, trace? >> and megyn, the more we learn about the flight path and variations in altitude and shutdown of communications the more investigators are focusing on the possibility that a trained pilot may very well have still been in control of this aircraft. so lets begin with the captai...

Welcome back. to cover all the angles of the search of the missing flight, we want to take you inside a cockpit simulator with martin savidge. also with me, richard quest, who also even flew with the co-pilot of the missing flight for a story that cnn did several weeks ago. so martin, and richard may jump in here as well, we know now the plane made extreme changes in altitude, climbing to 45,000 feet, then dropping 23,000 feet. is that each possible to re-create on the flight simulator? >> its a...
