Talking about a few moments ago would be the underwater ones. so i still question if the original search, which i understand was by the vietnamese navy, did they really listen underwater with underwater microphones? or in the right part of the world zble world. >> exactly. >> in terms of a 777 plane, obviously very big, very modern plane, how easy would it be to land a plane like that, given the wide area it could have landed, without any radar detection? >> well, i think if you get low enough y...

Significant changes in altitude after they lost contact with the cockpit. it flew up to 45,000 feet and then descended uneven unevenly erratically to 23,000 feet. walk us through these scenarios, what youre seeing over there in the simulator. youre there with a pilot trainer. help us appreciate better what is going on, martin. >> reporter: wolf, we were just trying to go through these numbers that are being reported here. the first thing that struck us was the altitude. 45,000 feet. thats incred...

Earthquake occurred. we have volcanic activity and earthquake activity. an expert could tell the difference. it is a lead that needs to be checked out. >> you are an expert oceanographer. you have handled these situations before. has anyone reached out to you. >> we have offered, our president, susan avery, has offered assistance through our state department and we havent heard any requests. we are standing by to help. >> thanks so much for being with us, david gallo. i appreciate it. >> thank y...

Key question in the disappearance of malaysia flight 370, exactly what happened in the cockpit that night. martin salvidge is joining us just outside toronto. hes inside the cockpit of a boeing 777 simulator. thats quite an array of buttons and lights for pilots to worry about. what pilots would have been doing that fateful night. >> yeah, hello, wolf. youre right, it does look very daunting initially when you look at this. but much of the systems aboard this aircraft are automated. i wont say t...

Risk? >> assuming youre in control of the aircraft. and then we talk about this other lower level that is 23,000 feet that the plane descended to erratically. the key we dont know is over what time frame, right? >> right. thats the critical missing component. >> you could do that over time without too much trouble but if youre doing it in five minutes, thats one heck of a descent? >> thats the problem. yes. >> wolf, thats the problem. still more clues but nothing definitively that gives us an an...

Simulator now. martin, this is becoming the center of this entire story. i guess could you talk about, first, what it would be like to fly at 45,000 feet above the 43,100 foot approved level for this 777 plane? >> yeah. i mean, the real problem were having here, because weve been trying to emulate in the simulator here whats been reported, its almost beyond the laws of physics and the physicaling ability of an aircraft to do at least what has been described in the article and described by those ...

All right. were going to go back to martin savidge and pilot mitchell in a flight simulator and now flying beyond the point, right, martin, of where they lost track of that malaysia airliner. >> right. weve gone now probably about, oh, just, the area where roughly this aircraft was last known to report. so, we went around that. we can come back it it, again, if we want. its a simulator, you can do whatever you want, but the point is we designed this whole experiment here, if you will, to emulate...

Skies over the south china sea. cnn martin savidge is in a boeing 777 simulator outside of toronto, representing the exact flight from takeoff to disappearance. martin? >> bill, let me just show you where we are. we took off 45 minutes ago, simulation, kuala lumpur. were now 4.4 nautical miles away from this reference point in the navigation. its a point in the sky. but for this story, a critical one. it is the last point at which flight 370 actually was known to exist and still be seen on radar...

Pamela brown, thanks very much. tom fuentes is still with us. our law enforcement analyst. youve worked on these international investigations. why wouldnt they go into that home just to rule out the possibility that someone untoward might have happened? >> i think, wolf, the only explanation that i can think of is that maybe in their legal system they dont quite have enough probable cause to get a search warrant to actually go into their homes because theres been no indication specifically that ...

To sort out this mess over crimea. john kerry and sergey lavrov, they dont have much longer to negotiate because an independence referendum for crimea is set for this weekend. secretary kerry is about to address reporters any moment now. those are live cameras trained in london. we wait for him to emerge with sergey lavrov hopefully with good news. what exactly happens inside the cockpit of a plane like the one that vanished? take a close look at this. it is a flight simulator for the boeing 7...
