CNNW CNN Newsroom March 28, 2014

Indicates the plane was traveling faster than was previously estimates resulting in increased fuel usage and decreasing the possible distance it traveled south into the indian ocean. Also this new area here has turned up something incredible. Finally we can report the first nonsatellite sightings of potential debris. Separate planes out of ten spotted something. This is a picture of that something. Multiple objects we are told. Various sizes and colors. Our correspondent who has been working the story out of perth. She was on board one of the really sophisticated planes, p 8 and she herself spotted debris. Take a listen to what she said. This plane did spot some debris. There was a bit of excitement, but the plane tipped to the right and got very, very close to the ocean. Some white debris and orange rope and a blue bag. It wasnt significant enough to say that it was connected to the plane at all. We will have much more from her shortly. The promising news is here that for the first time one plane was able to relocate something spotted by a previous plane. The seas in the search area northeast of the previous is also a lot closer to land. Thats key here. It makes itacier for the search planes to get there. Spend more time over the seas and then return back. Meantime, word of this new search zone, a potentially wasted days and days of searching the old spot was too much for the family members who walked out of the briefing in beijing. You see the empty seats . They walked out in protest, leaving the panel to stare at the report empty rows. A representative berated them. Going back to the big news, the new search area, a mirnnew upsi it has calmer and gentler weathers. The old latitude is known for the temptest weather where the previous zone was located. Nasty conditions there. Chad meyer, let me bring you back in as we have this new development. We talk so much about the previous search zone and the horrible conditions here. 2 00 in the morning their time. How will it look in the new area . Not too bad. There is a storm and i think it will affect them a little bit, but they will still fly there. What yesterday did was gave us a bunch of clear skies. All of these satellites that have been looking down in this area finally got a clear day. Not that that we had which was murky clouds, but a clear day. All the satellites that passed over the area got a good look. They will go back and look at the images from the satellites and maybe help things out. I dont understand when you find something on the satellite like 300 things and you dont keep going looking for that. That blows my mind. Its like getting a hit on the battle ship to see which way the ship is. You keep searching. Anyway, i digress. Heres the same story right here. This is the old search area and the new search area. Other than this batch of cloudiness and thats a little thunderstorm complex, remember now its hurricane and cyclone season. This is the summer part. This is the warm part of the year for them. Thats when you get these thunderstorm complexes. These tropical complexes. Here is the screaming 60s. The 50s here and we are still close to the 40 degree latitude south. What this does on the earthorbiting satellites, they dont have to look at it at such an angle. This is a lot of things going for the new area if there is something there. Taking your analogy, no one is looking to sink anyones battle ships. They are looking to find the pieces of the black box. When you talked about the older areas that we focused on because the malaysian government focused on the areas, what do the pieces of whatever it was, debris mean. Listen to the transportation minster. Because of ocean drift, this new search area could still be consistent with the potential objects identified by previous satellite images over the past week. So chad is standing by. Let me bring in the next two guests. We have a Research Scientist and here with me in new york, aviation analyst. Let me begin with you, jeff. Sitting next to me, when you electric at the pictures accident can we throw up the picture from the actual piece of debris here. The sighting of this white square object we will see in a second. What does that look like to you . Anything . It being looks like a rectangle. One of the things i think we learned, there is a lot of debris in the ocean and most is not airplane. We can expect to get a lot of false positives. Closer to main shipping channels and human habitation and everything that runs off the land through storm drains and things that get thrown off the ships. Human beings make a lot of stuff that winds up in the ocean. When you see this picture and you know how it works maybe not with this search pacificalspeci. You have the satellite images and when they pinpoint objects and specks and debris, they send these sophisticated planes out and ultimately they send ships to hopefully recover the stuff to see if its connected to the plane . Yes. You know as much as i do about that type of aspect of the search. What i know is what the currents are doing in that general area. I look at the currents and the satellite data. What is that . About the currents. What the currents do is they move the debris around as do winds when they are on the surface, they can move debris as well. We suspect that its probably sitting mostly in the surface of the ocean versus sticking up largely out of the water. The currents and the strength of the currents will play a role in if you spot it at one spot and go back six hours later, how much will it have moved . The great thing about this location if indeed this is the right place to look, the currents are way slower compared to the other Search Location by say five miles a day travel versus 35 miles a day as well as the winds. You wont have as many waves to obscure spotting things as well as wins drifting things along. This is a hopeful area to look, although as was previously mentioned, its closer to australia. There is a current that goes along the coast and sheds off these eddys that carry water along that includes garbage from the coast. There will be a lot more chances for the debris to not be associated with the plane, but if it is associated with the plane, we have a much narrower search area. It seems encouraging, but this is what i keep coming back to. If im one of the family members and i have been holed up in this hotel in kuala lumpur and beijing and you mean to tell me they have been delivering news of debris here and there based upon satellite imagery, you have been wasting my time. Its more than frustrating if you have a loved one involved. So much of what we know is we are inferring from what they are saying and having to work between the lines. There is a disclosure and they are invoking the authority of the malaysian Prime Minister and the australian Prime Minister. A lot of things they asked us to take their word on havent panned out. The chunks of debris, is that now totally irrelevant . That seems to be what they are saying. Stick around and we have more for you. We want to talk about the plane speeding up. This is more information we are learning and what this might tell us about auto pilot and whether it was on or off. My colleague in perth hopped on the plane searching for debris shoo she herself saw an object in the water. You will hear from her. What did she say . What are the searches like . The airline ceo today revealing that he has his pilots get psych tests. Is this normal . How often does this happen and what questions are asked and what are the red flags that are i watching for . You are watching cnns special coverage. You really love, what would you do . [ woman ] id be a writer. [ man ] id be a baker. [ woman ] i wanna be a pie maker. [ man ] i wanna be a pilot. [ woman ] id be an architect. What if i told you someone could pay you and what if that person were you . When you think about it, isnt that what retirement should be, paying ourselves to do what we love . Their type 2 diabetes. With noninsulin victoza. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didnt get me to my goal. So i asked my doctor about victoza. He said victoza works differently than pills, and comes in a pen. And the needle is thin. Victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. Victoza is not insulin. Do not take victoza if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. Serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas pancreatitis which may be fatal. Stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. Taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. If your pill isnt giving you the control you need. Ask your doctor about noninsulin victoza. Its covered by most health plans. In taste, freshness, and nutrition . Its eb. Egglands best. Better eggs. Its eb. When the u. S. Wants to locate something under the ocean, this is what it deploys. These are the men associated with and what fly the worlds most high tech aircraft. Today i get to fly with them on one of the journalists embedded with the p 8 poseidon as it takes off on a new mission. The Australian Government said there is a new search area about 700 miles northeast of where was searched. We cant bring any electronic equipment. I have to leave my photojournalists on board this van. Everything has to stay behind. What we will do is fly about four hours down to the search area and look for about two areas and make the long trek back. The hope is to spot debris. And there she goes. You just saw her granted this rare access in a search plane. She just stepped off and told us during this nine hours of searching, she and the crew did spot objects near australia. This plane did spot some debris. There was a bit of excitement that the plane tipped to the right and got very, very close to the ocean. Some white debris and orange ropes and a blue bag. It wasnt significant enough to say it was connected to the plane at all. Fatigue is a big concern. I wont say that its a problem. Its something they are all aware of. At lot of the crew you were with. They rotated after 30 minutes to an hour. They were self checking or checking each other to make sure they rotate. Fatigue if you stare out at the same space again and again and have to stay alert, that will be a problem. Thats why they constantly talked about it and they were standing up and changing positions. Thats something they worry about. Thank you. We will talk to a navy s. E. A. L. In a little bit about how they are trained to focus on debris and how to mark them on the grid. That will be a fascinating discussion. You, jeff, are the cnn aviation analyst. Beyond the new search area, we talked so much about the left turn. After this left turn where according to reports and whether this is fax or fiction, we dont know if it descended to 12,000 feet. We learned that the plane slowed down. It was very confusing how this was worded. What they said was we think the aircraft initially during that first left hand segment sped up and used more fuel. Speed is secondary. Whats important is it used more fuel. It had less when we talked about the southern turn. It made a turn and headed south into the indian ocean. We know where it wound up and when it wound out. About 8 11. To get from the spot at 22 22 to the ark at 8 11, it must have traveled a smaller distance. It must have been traveling at a slower rate because it had less fuel. The thing i want to add, there is a lot of different ways to burn less fuel. Its all about altitude. We are guesstimating and the search area had extra intelligence. It now seems clear that they were guesstimating the speed. They continued to travel and something crashed into the indian ocean. Can you speed up and slow down on auto pilot or are we to calm with this knowledge that someone must have been at the wheel . The issue is less whether it was done on auto pilot or entering wave points, but was it done intentionally or the result of an accident . The speed or altitude . The flight path of the plane. Was it the result of an accident and somehow the plane was supplying itself or was this carried out intentionally by whatever was in charge of the plane . We are not clear of that. It seems as it did before. Pretty clear this was intentional. This is not a plane meandering. It made a left turn and another left turn and flew straight for another six hours. That is not the kind of thing you see from a plane on its own. I should add that there is another assumption that the plane flew at a constant rate of speed. The only reason we have to make that assumption is that the equations dont work otherwise. If it was zigzagging around, you have the effect of a plane flying lower and going further north. Know it was on the ark. If its going slower, its closer to indonesia. Still so much we dont know. The pilots are required to take and what that entails in a minute. Stay with me. Coming up, we heard from the ceo of Malaysia Airlines with bad news pilots who undergo these psychological evaluations. How often were the tests done and the older pilot and the younger copilot here, were they cleared by all these tests . Thats next. Welcome back. Im brooke baldwin. Did the pilots of flight 370 get Mental Health evaluations. They lifted the curtains into his airline regulations. I should mention investigators into the captain and copilot have thus far in the turned up any big leads. A u. S. Official said nothing suspicious has jumped out on the hard drives belonging to the pilot and the copilot. Lets bring in Paula Hancock live for us in kuala lumpur. How often does this specific airline, malaysia air, do these psychological tests on their pilots . These tests we are being told from the chief in a press conference, they say that every new pilot that joins the company has to undergo this psychological testing and its not just when you start. It does continue throughout your career. Its important he said that after they do continue to test them. Lets listen to what he said. Thats something that we check every six months or depending on how old they are. Thats normally done during an interview with the doctors. This is something that investigators are looking at. The focus is on the pilots and the absence of physical evidence and knowing what happened and the fact that malaysian authorities are saying it was deliberate action that let to this disappearance. It focuses on the pilots and the one question was, did they know each other . Did they know each other and have they flown together before they got inside the cockpit. He said he didnt know. It was an internal rostering system. Its possible they may or may not have. They didnt know. As far as any psych tests, any red flags in the past . Could he say . No. He didnt say anything about that and in theory given what he said, they are checked every six months or a year. If everything that happened as it should have done in theory they would have cleared. They were in the air and they were actually flying. He didnt say there were any red flags whatsoever. Thank you. Let me bring you back in, jeff. Before you said yes, you are not a commercial pilot, but you have flown private and had to take these psych tests. Im curious when we are talking about a pilot or a copilot, what kind of questions are asked and what answers might trigger red flags . To make a point, its essential that pilots of private or atp be in sound ifs and Mental Health. You are not allowed to take certain classes of drugs. Anything that would impair your judgment. I havent taken these tests myself, but anything that would lead to psychotic break or any dhan pred condition that predisposes you to suicide. Obviously they were flying. One would have to dedeuce no red flags, i pose. Doesnt mean there is nothing there. Thank you. Coming up here, a development in the search today. For the 50 time, crews have spotted potential debris in the water and those objects are in this new search zone. Are they close to answers . Also ahead, families staging a walk out at todays press briefing and the partner of an american on that plane is blasting this airline for saying all lives are lot of. Hear directly from her. My dad has aor afib. Brillation, he has the most common kind. Its not caused by a heart valve problem. Dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. Thats why i take my warfarin every day. But it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. In a clinical trial, pradaxa® Dabigatran Etexilate mesylate . Was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. And unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. Hey thanks for calling my doctor. Sure. Pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. Seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners. Or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctors about all medicines you take. Pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. If you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. Thats a little better, right . Now, see i love this neighborhood. Trulia says the schools are excellent. I like it. Must see. Well, that was a bust. Mnh. Its three bedrooms. I found a great new listing. Little busy here. Nice.
