>> reporter: suddenly anything became possible, wild internet fears of a terrorist plot. they werent terrorists. and then it shifted toward the pilots. analysis bit fbi of the simulator data turned up nothing. no claim of responsibility, no known ties to terror groups among passengers or crew, no motive supported by evidence. intricate analysis of satellite hand shabs took the search to an area where it likely ran out of fuel. with the plane all evidence of what really happened on its flight dat...
