>> mitchell? >> [ inaudible ]. >> marty, marty, stand by. stand by. your mic was not up. repeat what you said please. >> i was just saying that mitchell actually told me all this before we did this scenario that there would be a lot of what was just described for the simplistic sake of making the turn and showing it, i sort of narrated that. so yeah, there is a lot more that would be going on and we do not have that particular apparatus here to demonstrate to you. so youre quite right to bring o...

Investigation they are telling me at least within the first 26 minutes of that flight pilots were changing the flight path. the plane had gone up basically flying on the original course to beijing and then making it return. we know within the first 26 minutes they reprogrammed the flight plan and were already starting to turn west before they signed off with air traffic control. >> the pilot intentionally changed their path but the reason why remains a mystery. they reveal the communication syst...

In the past 24 hours, all was calm, all was clear. but if we think with this storm coming in and not moving not only will it bring down the clouds down to the surface, but also making the weather very difficult for the searcher and, again, it could be a two-day event. we might have to slow thins down again for the next couple of days. >> cnn international meteorologist p.j. new questions in the figsea for flight 370. were taking you back into our live simulator with cnns martin savidge. martin...

Youre going to overspeed. so doubtful they did anything like this. theres the ocean straight ahead. so pull it back. remember, if it really was over an hour and 40 minutes, that decent could have been very gradual. so what were staying here is that those actions do not indicate energy. its not a sharp turn to go to an emergency landing and its not necessarily a steep descent to get down for the passengers to breathe. it could have been a slow descent and gradual turn. thats what the simulator te...

Not necessarily a steep descent to get down for the passengers to breathe. it could have been a slow descent and gradual turn. thats what the simulator tells us. >> you know, theyre calling it the shadow theory. in the shadow of another commercial flight. well explain why it is not as far fetched as it sounds. [ female announcer ] you get sick, you cant breathe through your nose... suddenly youre a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than...

Happen, its sort of like muscle memory. they go back to a mental process theyve already done before. if the engine does quit on a small airplane, theyve already done it 15 times in the simulator and the airplane as well. >> coming up on 3,000. >> both the engines are wound back. >> i feel like were losing thrust, were losing thrust. >> although im not a licensed pilot, ive had plenty of flight instruction. i got the chance to land my own plane in the hudson river in one of the universitys 36 fli...

Flight 68 is exact overlay on the inmar sat put out. and so that could have happened. now, could a 777 pilot fly at 200 feet behind in formation? thats why im interested what the simulator data that was erased, what the fbi labs at quantico turns out to see. i talked to a 777 pilot just before i came on here. a chap who i have known a long time, a 777 pilot, as well as 787 instructor pilot. he indicated that he probably could, if he had practiced some in the simulator, and was on auto pilot. so ...

Undermine the air foil. and down you go. i think they can a 9,000 per foot descent. this is about what you would expect to not overstress the airplane. so in that hectic time, the captain would likely take control of the aircraft. the first officer would be responsible for the other duties including the communication. and that is where something went wrong. and why did it fail? why did the transponder fail? that is the big part of the mystery at this point. part of this is descend to 10,000 feet...

>> and we now know some of the files were deleted? >> and thats a concern. if the captain was using the simulator to do dry runs to plot for whatever reason hes going to do something, he wants to practice it to make sure he can pull it off. thats where the calculated part comes in. the question is what were those files and when were they deleted. >> this electronic data is going to be, in my opinion, very important. every major case that ive been involved in in recent history, some key component...

The water, he had people on board that were trying to kill the airplane and everybody on board with it, including themselves. its november 23rd, 1996. ethiopian airlines flight 961 from ethiopias capital to nairobi, kenya, should be a routine two-hour flight. it turns out to be anything but. the pilot, captain leul abate, sat with documentary filmmaker salim amin, whose father mo was killed in the crash. in the cockpit of a boeing 767 simulator, captain abate relives the hellish flight. >> so th...
