Wasnt Preprogrammed News Today

Heard a garbled communication from that plane, but all of that was difficult to reconcile from the time the reports were that pilots put in this turn and were intending, based on input of data, were intending some kind of a turn and their last communication was 12 minutes, and that didnt jive with anything because if youre fighting for control of your aircraft, if youre fighting for your life, youre going to try to let somebody know. now if it wasnt preprogrammed, what you do not have, you do no...

Correct? >> reporter: yeah. thats right. the source weve been speaking to said, you know, thats what theyre trying to work out, don. what exactly went on onboard in that cockpit that made the pilot or whoever was in the cockpit, lets remember, we still dont know who made that turn. we now know that it wasnt preprogrammed. so this lends itself to the notion that perhaps this was because of some kind of catastrophic failure onboard. the pilot, co-pilot trying to safe the event. or someone entering...

Other satellite reports. id like to follow up on what kit darby just said. the issue back when i recall it was the rumor of the day last week and the week before, the flight having been preprogrammed. the basis for that rumor at the time, i remember, "the flight turned too smoothly to be hand flown by the pilot. must have been a new way point or route. i questioned at the time, the radar, the edge of the zone of that radar, if they couldnt tell for sure what it was doing, how could they tell it ...

Im going to argue for an open mind here. everybody is concerned about, well, it wasnt preprogrammed, but it could be programmed at the time the pilot wanted to execute the maneuver, just a matter of reaching down, boop, boop, boop, program. he probably knows acars is reporting this. if there is a criminal act here, it was very well planned. and i dont think we can throw that out just because somebody would have made a mistake and left a trail for what they want to do. when an airplane changes co...

A turn he pilots say deliberate without nefarious, youre investigating something like this. they get say you had your fbi hat on again. how would that change your calculus most likely explanation as to why the plane disappeared? >> i dont know that it would change anything. so many contradictory statements. now were going on two weeks and cant tell if the plane turned, in the hands of the pilot or autopilot. now they are saying it wasnt preprogrammed when they never knew for sure it was. i think...

Well, actually, no. 12,000 feet simply isnt low enough, don, to avoid any kind of military radar for sure. and commercial radar, we understand. so kruscrucially all we know ri now, and this is a crucial piece of information, of course, as were trying to piece this jigsaw puzzle together, don, that the plane made a deliberate turn that was not preplanned or preprogrammed. and at that point, shortly afterwards, because of this military radar, the source that has spoken to cnn has told us that it d...

The investigation. the idea no indication from the acars data, wireless transmission of data from the plane that the plane was preprogrammed. i have clive next to me. youre experienced in these issues. as tom reminded, it wasnt just acars transmission that turned out to be false that gave an indication, its that the plane flew steady by way points, less likely for you or me if we were experienced pilots to handle than an autopilot. arent there ways for the pilot without preprogramming, turning t...

Malaysian authorities are contradicting that this turn had been preprogrammed 12 some-odd minutes before the plane took that turn, it gave an indication at the time that when the cockpit said "good night," an odd communication to give, to say everythings fine when in fact you prepam programmed a turn off course to the city of beijing, the sequence in key raised questions about whether this was intentional. now, again, to reiterate, were being told by malaysian authorities that in fact at 1:07, t...

Reason the signal wasnt sent. it may be the signal was sent but no one was listening, 1:20 in the morning over the pacific. >> in the case of payne stewart, no distress call either, just sound of alarm including one for loss of cabin pressure. what is behind the credibility of the zombie plane theory is whether or not you believe this is an investigation into the mechanical failure of this flight or the investigation into a criminal ac. the difference between whether you believe the crew or some...

What if the flight crew lost control of the plane? more specifically, what if no one had control of cnns suzanne malveaux is here to explore that theory. does that still have legs? >> it does. this is one of those theories, a lot come and go, but this has legs to it, gaining more credibility and steam as the weekend has progressed. one of the possible scenarios here that ive talked with aviation experts this week is that this would explain how and why this plane went down. we are talking about t...
