as u.s. government sources tell nbc news there s evidence the plane s automated systems gave off fapt pings for up to four hours after going off radar. that means the plane could have traveled up to 2500 miles in any direction. a vast expanse of the globe that includes the indian ocean. what it doesn t tell us, though, is what direction, whether it went west, east, north, south. because we have no radar coverage. so at this point we just know that the airplane was still operational and probably didn t have a mechanic malfunction or failure. reporter: at the request of the malaysians the search could sxan expand further. based on new information, an additional search area may be opened in the indian ocean and we are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy. reporter: u.s. government sources also say it appears more likely that malaysia military radar did pick up the plane
