Southern indian ocean ranging in size from 3 feet to 75 feet. It turned up on satellite images from a French Defense firm on sunday. Theyre digging into that and every other new detail of the information with my experts. Our big story remains flight 370. Were covering every ainngle. Its 9 00 a. M. In perth. Tell me what the expectation is today. Weve seen again 122 new images potentially of plane wreckage. Do they think they can get anywhere near where they think they were . Reporter well, they certainly are hoping to. Theyve got 11 aircraft up in the air today. Just about an hour ago the chinese jet took off. Were expecting another five civilian aircraft to take off in the next few hours. Then the u. S. Military planes will go out. Its critical that they try and get to this area. Theyre going to cover two sectors with about 78,000 square kilometers in all. Its critical they get low enough to see this debris and actually identify, to eyeball it and see what it is. Whether it could be a piece of the plane. Because if they cant see it then really theyll have to start all over again with a new search area. And thats why its so important for them to get off to an early start today. And in terms of the weather, what are they saying . How long really before they think its going to get rough again . Reporter theyre saying later today they expect the weather to deteriorate. And unfortunately this is the way its going to be for the next few weeks even. Were getting into winter here, of course. And basically theyve got this month or so where they have these windows going to try to fit as much searching as they can. But as soon as winter hits here according to an oceanographer i spoke to yesterday it will be absolutely impossible to go out. Too stormy, waves too high to see anything. Thank you very much indeed. Turn now to new developments in the investigation of the pilot and copilot of flight 370. Pamela brown has this. Pamela, a new usa today report out today quoting a senior malaysian investigator as saying that Malaysian Police believe that captain zaharie shah quote deliberately redirected the aircraft. Your sources i believe are hearing something different. Tell me what the latest is. Reporter well, piers, the officials ive spoken with with knowledge of the investigation are not ready to jump to any conclusions or make any leaps. Simply they dont have the concrete evidence to back up that theory. The sources say that investigators havent found a smoking gun in either of the pilots or copilots backgrounds that would suggest a premeditated act. A source in malaysia tells cnn a search of the pilots home didnt turn up any evidence such as a suicide note that would suggest financial, psychological or marital problems. Also, piers, a u. S. Official close to this investigation tells me forensics experts have not found anything yet that jumps out at them after a preliminary look at the captains simulator hard drive and both of the pilots lap topts. Important to keep in mind this is an ongoing investigation. Investigators continue to dig into the backgrounds of both of those men. But so far again sources telling cnn there is no concrete evidence at this point implicating the pilots in the planes disappearance. However, they are still a top priority in this investigation. And investigators are still focusing on them. But going back, pamela, to this usa today report, obviously a prestigious newspaper. Theyve obviously got what they believe to be a good source on this. Can we rule out the possibility that the captain zaharie shah deliberately redirected this plane, or is it something that is even for those who doubt this particular report say is a potential option here . Everything is on the table, piers. So basically speaking to sources they say theyre not ruling out anything. But that both of these pilots, both of them are still being looked at. Theyre still trying to put a profile of these men together, piers. But essentially theres just no concrete evidence. We still dont have the plane. As i said, there is no smoking gun found on their hard drive yet and found in their homes according to sources. So without that concrete evidence, sources are saying how can you sort of jump to that conclusion that it was a deliberate act. However, piers, you look at the process of elimination. These were the two men in charge of that plane. They were in the cockpit. So of course theyre going to be a focus of this investigation. Just not the sole focus according to my sources. Pamela brown, thank you very much indeed. Im going to bring in sara sidner in kuala lumpur. Sara, what are you hearing about the malaysian end of all this, in particular the investigation into the pilot and copilot . Reporter you know, piers, what you just heard from pamela was spot on as you brits would say. What we are hearing is that of course they are looking into the pilots background. That is a natural thing you would do in an investigation to see if there were any, for example, emotional problems happening at this point. But until we have an official who will go on the record at this point, we dont believe anything were hearing. Until someone will come forward, show their face and say, here is whats happening. This investigation continues. They are still looking into this. And the reason, by the way, piers, that officials are saying that this was a deliberate act is because of how the plane acted. Because of that turn that was made. That turn cannot just happen on its own. And so they believe thought was a deliberate act. Now, was it because of fire or was it because of Something Else in the cockpit . We just dont know. And it is not right to demonize the pilot or copilot or anyone on that flight until we have the evidence. The families of the copilot and pilot and of the passengers are terribly distraught. This obviously going to make the pilot and copilots lives, their familys lives, much much more difficult. They are being scrutinized now. They are looking at the pilots simulator. They are still going through and pouring through and trying to go through all that is in that computer and all that is in that simulator to see if there was anything that it tells them anything about what happened with missing flight mh 370. But it is not fair to speculate about who was at fault if they did it deliberately with a sinister for a sinister reason or if they did it deliberately because they were trying to save the plane and save themselves and the passengers, piers. Thank you very much indeed. Your own reporting the last three weeks has also been spot on. Should this investigation now focus on the pilot and copilot . I want to put that question to my experts, mary schiavo, former Inspector General of the dot, also miles obrien, cnn aviation analyst and david soucie former faa safety inspector and author of why planes crash. David soucie, weve spoken a lot this week. Each day a little tiny nugget of information comes out. Today weve got 122 apparent fragments of what could potentially be wreckage. We also have again a renewed focus now on the pilot and copilot. What do you make of these developments . I think theyre all important developments. What i always caution all the accident investigations ive ever done you dont start with a conclusion in mind and fill the facts in to support that conclusion. I think thats what were seeing here. It happens a lot in the investigation. And every day you have a meeting with your team and make sure and you have cross checks and double checks against each other to say is this truly a fact . Is it not a fact . Do we know this . Do we not know that . Then youve got to start weighing the confidence of the things you do know. You have to question yourself. I think thats whats happening here. Miles obrien, i suppose the problem is the malaysian government are trying to i guess quell speculation by saying we believe it plane went down in the ocean. We believe everyones lost. But of course, all its done really is increase speculation. Because if that is the case, where are the fragments, where is this plane . Where are the bodies of the people who died . And what happened . We still dont know really almost anything that explains anything about this plane. Its like the cops saying nothing to see here, people. Move along. These are conclusions without any evidence to support them. The cart before the horse. And the cart is empty. You cant just come out with these statements, especially for families. Especially for the families. And the flight crew has families, too. Lets not forget that. And they are groieving as well. What a horrible thing to impugn them without any evidence whatsoever. So i think theres a sense in the inside this investigation if we just say a few things it will all go away. Thats not happening. I completely agree. Lets take a short break, come back and get mary schiavos reaction to this after the break and get further into these new developments and the investigation into missing flight 370. From the beginning they just hide everything. I dont think that this kind of government liar and even a murderer can solve anything. Hey there, i just got my bill, and i see that it includes my fico® credit score. Yup, you get it free each month to help you avoid surprises with your credit. Good. I hate surprises. Surprise at discover, we treat you like youd treat you. Get the it card and see your fico® credit score. They lived. They lived. They lived. dad we lived. Thanks to our subaru. announcer love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. I have a big meeting when we land, but i am so stuffed up, i cant rest. [ male announcer ] nyquil cold and flu liquid gels dont unstuff your nose. They dont . Alka seltzer plus night fights your worst cold symptoms, plus has a decongestant. [ inhales deeply ] oh. What a relief it is. Flight 370 has been missing for three weeks. We still have more questions than answers. My panel is digging into this and families are demanding answers. Cnns david mckenzie, tell me what is going on there. The anger isnt going away. The questions are not being answered. What is the mood like in beijing . Reporter the mood is frustrating. And of course angering for these family members. Theyve wanted answers for all these days, all these weeks now. And they dont believe that the Malaysian Airlines and malaysian authorities are giving those answers to them. I was at a meeting for several hours between those authorities and hundreds of family members. They were asking very pointed questions to the malaysians, where is the evidence . Wheres the debris . How can we believe you . The authorities kept on citing the information from inmarsat but not really giving their own opinion during that meeting. And that sort of riled the nerves a little bit here in beijing. As we saw though protests earlier this week, the family members here, they are expecting potentially the worst but they dont want to give up hope at this taint. Because for them, they want to see something. Seeing is believing. And all these new leads and speculation is not always helpful for those family members who are just raw with emotion at this time. David mckenzie, thank you very much. I have got one of those family members now. Steve wangs mother was on board flight 370. Hes one of the family members demanding answers. He says everything hes heard so far is just theory. He joins me live in beijing. Thanks for joining me. First of all let me extend my very deepest sympathies to you and your family and all the families for what is going on here. Let me ask you straight away, you were supposed to pick up your mother from the airport. You brought her a coat because it had grown cold in beijing. Looking forward to seeing your mom, youre an only child. You havent seen your mother. She never came back yes. Do you feel in your heart that your mother could possibly still be alive . Well, i hope so. I know that the possibility is little. But i still have hope. Do you believe what youre be being told by the malaysian authorities . I think what we are told is just a theory. And they even do not know how it came out as Something Like that. They just read the reports. And theres no evidence, no piece from the plane, other things that could make us trust the results. So we dont believe it. There was a lot of concern, steven, about the fact that many families heard of the news from the malaysian Prime Minister that he believed the plane had gone into the ocean and that there were no survivors via text message. How did you hear the news . And what did you think of the methods of communication . Well r, i think its irresponsible action. Because theyve just received the report in the morning, and they they want to give it out in such a hurry. So i think it is irresponsible and once more they sent a message to all of the relatives in english. Some of the relatives do not know english. So i think it is not good. Theres a lot of anger from the families. We see these harrowing images every day. The anger i guess is because theres no resolution to this. Tell me how you feel about the investigation itself. Do you believe enough is being done to try and get to the bottom of what happened . Well, i think that there must be something that was hidden by the malaysian government. I think that it will come out someday. Steven, tell me about your mother. What kind of woman was your mothe mother . Well, shes an optimistic lady. She liked to travel. She is a nice person. Youre only child. Hows your father bearing up with all this . Well, he is now also waiting for the truth. He is now coming back home. He feels it is not very comfortable to be at the hotel. So im waiting at the hotel and my father is waiting at home. Malaysia airlines we believe have offered family members Financial Support of about 5,000 for each of the passengers. Does that make any difference to you . Is there any kind of comfort . Do you need that money as a family . Do you know about other families needs . Well, to most of the family, okay, some of the family may need some money for emergency use. But most of the family they dont care about how much money you give us. We just want the truth and we just want our relatives back. That is the most we want to see. Its obviously, steven, an agonizing time for you and your family and all these families. Its almost a nightmare scenario where people keep trying to say what they believe happened but nobody really knows. What is the constant speculation doing to you . What kind of effect does it have on you and your family . Im sorry . I was just asking can you hear me steven now . Yeah yeah. I was just asking, obviously because nobody knows enough answers here. Nobody knows really what has happened. The constant speculation i would imagine is very difficult for you. Yes. But at the same time, do you believe that people should keep asking questions . Hopeful that we may get to some trut truth . Yes, we hope that we will get the truth. And i think we may ask for more people to help us. Because we are just normal people. And we dont know too much about laws. We dont know too much about the aircraft or Something Like that. But we need more people to help us. Your tshirt, steven, has a slogan in chinese. Can you tell me what it says . Well, it is for pray for mh 370. Back safely. Well listen, as i say my heart goes out to you and your family, to all the families. I hope and pray that you get some good news. Obviously it looks unlikely, but we can only pray. And i thank you very much indeed for joining me tonight. Yes, thanks. When we come back, more new details on the investigation into the mystery of flight 370. Get my experts to weigh in on key questions, what have we learned about the cockpit and what have investigators learned about the plot . Frequent heartburn . The choice is yours. Chalky. Not chalky. Temporary. 24 hour. Lots of tablets. One pill. You decide. Prevacid. 24 hour [ male announcer ] even more impressive than the research this man has at his disposal is how he puts it to work for his clients. Morning. Morning. Thanks for meeting so early. Come on in. [ male announcer ] its how edward jones makes sense of investing. All questions about flight 370 really come down to this, what happened in the cockpit . Joining me now a man who has lots of experience in that area, les abend is a 777 captain with 29 years of plflying experience. Miles obrien and mary schiavo. Talking to david there on the break about quite an interesting new thought process i think about an established thing, which is if the plane flew at 12,000 feet, the presumption is being that they would have burned off too much fuel too quickly to have got to where the site is. You now believe it would have been possible. Exactly right, piers. I looked at the numbers. And just my experience in flying jet airplanes i said theres just no way. But i looked at the numbers and confirmed it with a really good boeing source. And this gentleman came back and said, i see what you see. And its very possible. David, youve had the same conversations with people which also suggest this could have been possible, this plane could have been flying at 12,000 feet and ended up i also independently confirmed his numbers were correct and thought is possible. Okay. Mary schiavo, taking that into account, and taking into account the renewed focus now on the pilot and copilot, obviously we have to make it absolutely clear that they may be completely innocent of any malicious wrongdoing at all. They might be heroes trying to save that plane. We have to make that loud and clear regularly. But at the same time, the investigation obviously is going to be focused on them until we know more about this. What do you think about this in relation to the pilot and copilot potentially . I think the investigators are making a big mistake, and making a big mistake in Police Information work. I was a federal prosecutor before i was an Inspector General. Among the many things i learned doing that is that you dont announce your conclusion. You dont announce that somebodys guilty particularly with no evidence as we have here for two reasons among others. One is that the persons depending on your investigations, the victims of the crime, wont trust the investigation. Youve announced your conclusion without any evidence. And so they say, well, what else are you announcing . The other problem with that is a phenomenon called belief persistence. Once you announce your conclusion in an investigation you will try to make all the pieces fit them. It accounts for a lot of wrongful convictions. I think theyre making a mistake. Because now people will not assume that theyre going to be objective and that theyre not going to follow all leads such as the one that les just mentioned which sounds pretty plausible. Miles obrien, that seems to me a clear potential pitfall of all this, making a narrative fit a potentially small piece of information that could be construed in many different ways. I mean, talking about the pilot himself, interesting to me is the copilot, fariq abdul hamid. He was on his first flight as a fully approved pilot for the boeing 777. We know talking to passengers on a few of his earlier flights a few years ago he had a habit o
