E-mails of the two pilots. >> they are going to scrub all of the e-mails and hard drive and simulator at quantityco under review. even though you may delete a file they can be retrieved later and i know the fbi is working to do that. we all delete files. but the question is what was deleted and could that be evidence of a route that was taken in this case. so, i think thats all under review. let me just say there are many theories floating around out there. none in my opinion connect all of the ...

So the breaking news here on cnn is that a plane made a sharp left turn. then dropped in altitude to 12,000 feet. as it approached vietnamese air space. does that work? does this particular scenario work? what would happen if that did happen? martin savidge standing by for us in a boeing 777 simulator. martin, take it away. >> all right. lets show you first of all the description its a sharp turn. heres what we would say a sharp turn in an aircraft like this would feel like. taking off. and you ...

>> you can communicate just as martin and mitchell said in the simulator. you can communicate very well just by hitting the yoke. assuming somebodys going to hear you. im not focusing on the lack of communication issue. >> shawn puchnicki, anything you want to ask our panel or you want to relay to martin and mitchell? >> not specifically them. but to everyone watching is that, you know, we need to be very aware that with -- were making this statement that there was no communication. and we dont ...

Right away on the ground. the runway is slick, slippery and would have never done it before and hes got to stop it. >> oh, my goodness. >> theres the reverse throughouters we have it on full max auto braking. >> and you did not embarrass yourself on national tv. you managed to do it with room to spare. you know, this is a simulator, of course. and you can only take it so far. you would have other things bearing on you, not to mention emotions. but it shows in or particular case it could have bee...

Modification to the flight plan was made. >> two minutes after the last voice transmission, the planes transponder fails or is shut off. the aircraft then flies on its new course, but erratically up and down. >> they flipped that off. and then they altered altitude. they went high, then they went low. one aspect of the intense forensic investigation was whether there was premeditated. the captain had practiced maneuvers on his home simulator and deleted the files. >> the pilot deleted the files ...

Obviously assessing the pilots which did not happen until several days later in the investigation. thats a concern. that should have been done day one. you run all of those leads in tend dem. the other concern is lets go to the simulator, how long did they take before actually the malaysian authorities went to the residents of the pilot and co-pilot to basically search and seize whatever they could. they waited too long. again with the simulator, as far as computers go. printers, you want to gra...

Thats very important, he did not clarify how big it was. these type of batteries have been implicated in other incidents. they are flammable. tonight cnns martin savidge is back in a flight simulator along with mitchell cosado. i dont think you guys have ever left the simulator frankly. this is one aspect investigators are looking at, the possibility of a fire on board. there were these potentially flammable lithium batteries. we dont know how many. could a fire have started in the cargo hold an...

Another new development tonight malaysia airlines ceo acknowledging flight 370 was carrying a cargo of lithium ion batteries. he did not say how big the shipment was. thats very important, he did not clarify how big it was. these type of batteries have been implicated in other incidents. they are flammable. tonight cnns martin savidge is back in a flight simulator along with mitchell cosado. i dont think you guys have ever left the simulator frankly. this is one aspect investigators are looking ...

That just tips over and does like a roller coaster hill. instead, this plane, mitchell, the way i designed, is to actually fly slowly, steadily, even with no one at the controls descending to the oegsz. >> yes. like most aircraft, actually. theyre designed to glide. if the engines were going to cut out youre not going to just cut out, it will glide down. >> we tested that with the simulator. you can go for maybe up to 100 miles beyond where the engines quit. the problem is, randi, when it does g...

>> yes sh, a broad look at how would have happened, and this is not absolute with 370, but could have. we have set up the simulator to emulate everything that we know about 370, and in other words, up at altitude, and this is the part of the flight where the seat belt sign has been turned off. we have loaded up the fuel the same way they have loaded it up, but the only difference is that it is night time for the purposes of visualization, and we made it daylight. and so up in altitude and everyt...
