Hello, everyone. Im john berman. Im michaela pereira. New evidence emerging to bolster the belief that flight 370 changed course. It is now day 11 since the jet disappeared into thin air with 239 souls on board. It comes from thailand. The military says it was receiving normal flight path and communicating data from the Malaysian Airline plan on its planned route from kuala lumpur to beijing until 1 22 a. M. Six minutes later, the Thai Military detected an unknown signal heading in the opposite direction. A new report from the times suggests the planes path was deliberately altered from the computer. It is likely someone programmed flight 370 to turn west. No one knows who entered the coordinates or when. They announced the total search area stands 2. 24 million square nautical miles. Lets put that in perspective for you. It is like looking for a few people somewhere between new york and california. A huge area. That thai data is the second radar evidence that the plane did, indeed, turn around toward the strait of milalacca. Mary schiavo and peter field join us. Mary, i am going to start with you since you are here with us. This new radar data from thailand, what can this now tell us . Well, it doesnt tell so much something new as it bolsters the theories. Now, we have a second way to say, yes, this plane hit its first mark and then turned left. The other thing it could add, since thailand is a little bit north, if it can expand the circle we know. All we have from these satellites. Thailand is a little bit north. Their radar should cover a larger area. Did the plane veer to the north or to the south. At least, it is a confirmation that it did teurn and started heading west. This information would have helped about a week ago. It would have helped about a week ago. The only thing we can say, at least they are still looking for Additional Information and other governments and countries are helping. It would help if they have any drexel speed, altitude information, whatsoever. They are quoting the thais saying the malaysians never specifically asked for it since it is shocking when you think about it. Peter, the other report we are talking about today is this report in the New York Times, about the inflight computer. The New York Times reporting that someone programmed in these waypoints. What can you tell us about this computer and if someone changed it in flight, what exactly does that tell you . It puts the Navigation System is how you navigate the airplane and that is coupled off with the autopilot. So when you program a new waypoint into the computer, the airplane flies to that waypoint. Thats obviously what the pilots have done or somebody has done with this airplane. It is a perfectly normal mode of control. What about this notion that seasoned veterans say, when you are making a flight like this, you know where the nearby airports are in case you have to land in an emergency. Is that a plausible scenario . The sharp left turn takes you across malaysia out into the bay of bengal. It wouldnt seem to me that that would be a logical sanctuary for a crippled airplane. Would you make these calculations and make these computations, would you be able to do that, peter, in flight, if something were going wrong . Oh, absolutely right. These waypoints are generally identified. I dont know about the overseas routes but here in the u. S. , way points are identified by a three or four or fiveletter names. You just type those in. And the system knows where it goes from there. Thats what would happen. We are talking about perfectly normal operation of the airplane up and away. Mary, it occurred to me we are talking about a hightech machine. You talked to us about this incredible amount of electronics below and the Computer Systems involved. Is there a potential this could have been hacked or there could have been a virus in this computer that could have caused something to fail from that point of view . There is always a potential for a problem with the computers and lots of things on board. I will only there have been several directives, warnings put out by the federal aviation administration. It says to officers, you must go fix or inspect this. There have been several warnings about the acars to various electronics, et cetera, below the cockpit, under the floor in the belly of the plane. There is certainly smoke and fire detection equipment on board. There is always a possibility for problems, a lot of computer equipment. Mary schiavo and colonel peter fields, we thank you for joining us. Russian president , vladmir putin, gets a standing ovation as i addresses a joint session of the Russian Parliament in moscow. The russian president says that sundays referendum proves the region wants to be part of the Russian Federation and not part of ukraine. Reporter you know that crimea has always been and always will remain an inalleebl part of russia. President putin denied allegations that he wants to split up other parts of ukraine saying, quote, we do not want to divide you. President obama awarding the medal of honor to 24 veterans that served in world war ii, korea, and vietnam. Only three of these army vets are still alive. They were selected after congress looked into whether jewish, africanamerican troops were denied the honor in past because of prejudice. General motors decided to change the way they handle recalls after a botched recall linked to deaths. It was caused by a faulty ignition switch that causes cars to shut off and disables air bags. General motors recalled 1. 5 million vehicles for air bag problems. Ceo, mary barra apologized. These are developments that shouldnt surprise anyone. Something went wrong with our process in this instance. As a member with the gm family and as a mom with a family of my own, this hits home. We have apologized. Thats just one step. Gm says they were aware of the faulty problem for a decade. Kevin trudeau heading to federal prison. He will spend ten years locked up for criminal contempt. A federal judge told trubeau he spent more than 10 years cheating others for his personal gain. But also say, but, wait, there is more. We just figured out what the more was. Wait is prison. Just what went on inside the cockpit of flight 370. How exactly do you change the coordinates on the flight computer . We will take a look inside the cockpit at one of these computers next.

In seattle, we are told a helicopter has crashed right near the space needle. No word on injuries. At least two cars were set on fire. That is what we do know. Witnesses are telling a local newspaper that a person in a car nearby managed to get out of that burning vehicle. You can tell that is quite a situation. Specially near the space needle, a heavily trafficked area. The tourist frequent and also some of the local businesses in downtown area, very close to that spot in seattle. The crash appears to be near broad street right near that landmark. The space needle just a moment ago. Investigators still trying to make sense of what happened in cockpit flight 37. We now know and suspect the plane went off course taking a hard left turn to the west. The New York Times reporting that the change was made by an on board computer that was most likely programmed by someone in the cockpit. Our Martin Savidge is back in the cockpit joined by flight pilot mitchell casado. We want you to show us this program computer and how you could program it in flight and ask the question, why would you . Here it is. This is the flight management system. It does a lot of things to assist the pilot and copilot. It is really a gps on steroids. Like the gps for your car, it was programmed before the flight took off for the flight that it was taking, 370 was going from kuala lumpur to beijing. All of the information to navigate this aircraft to beijing was loaded into this computer to help the plane go. Could you alter the course once you are in the air . Yeah, it can and, in fact, pilot mitchell casada can show us how easily that is done. This is our flight path. I have the flight plan in here, all the legs. There is our airplane. It is a matter of typing in where you want to go. The waypoint or the radio navigation aid. We punch it into the computer. We verify thats what we want. Now, we have a different route to go. The airplane will follow that route. It is a very simple key stroke. The easy thing about this. First of all, you have to know what you are doing tichlts n. It is not like you are just anybody. Any change in the attitude of the aircraft, we can see you are turning. If you are a passenger back there, it doesnt feel dramatic or like you have gotten into some sort of problem. It feels very normal. A course change can be significant but to the passenger, you may not really feel it at all. If you make the change on the inflight computer, it takes the turn very groadually. We are talking about this big western turn that would take the flight off the course to beijing. Would passengers have noticed . We are talking about an aircraft that is designed to do things slowly. The autopilot, even with a sharp turn, is going to make this plane turn within normal parameters. It doesnt mean the airplane is going to go out of control. The maximum bank angle is 30 degrees. Past that, it starts to get unstable. 30 degree maximum angle regardless of the radius of the turn. Generally, though, if there is any turbulence disrupts a plane when you are traveling, the captain or the copilot will say, we are passing through some turbulence. Put your seat belts on. Martin savidge, mitchell casado, thank you for giving us an insight. It is such a valuable thing. People have so many questions. One of them was, this plane is turning so radically. Ahead at this hour, ta third of the passengers on that jet are chinese. China deployed even more in the search. Why this may be about more than just helping the victims. The search area spans more than 2 million square nautical miles. Crews are looking at two distinct tracks now. Our next guest says they should probably stick to just one of those. If you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and youre talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic. This is humira. This is humira helping to relieve my pain. This is humira helping me lay the groundwork. This is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. Doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. Humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. Humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. Take the next step. Talk to your doctor. This is humira at work. I just ah woke up today and i said i need something sportier. Annnd done. Ok maxwell, just need to ah contact your Insurance Company with the vin number. Oh, i just did it. With my geico app. Vin is up to the loaded. Ok well then jerry here will take you through all of the features then. Why dont weeeeeeeeeeee go out to the car. Ok, ill just be outside. Ok, yeah. His dad is my boss. Yeah. Vin scanning to add a car. Just a tap away on the geico app. Breaking news from seattle. We have tlaernd two people are dead in the crash of a helicopter near the space needle. We know it happened on broad street near the infamous and famous mark in new york city. Firefighters and police are on the scene putting out the blaze and dealing with the casualties. We are getting all sorts of new details in right now and working the phones to get you more information. You can understand this is a huge concern at such a welltrafficked area. We do not know if the two reported deaths come from inside the helicopters or on the ground. A truck destroyed by this crash. That will be information that is key to get and we will update you as that information comes. Back to our top story now. China now has 21 satellites looking to are that missing jet over its territory. China has taken a highprofile role. Investigators believe that the lastknown location of the plane lies somewhere along these two very, very long arcs. One stretches north over asia and the other south into the indian ocean. We know that twothirds of the passengers on flight 370 were chinese citizens. Peter brookes, says, china says it has conducted background checks on all the chinese passengers on board. China says they found no evidence that any of them were involved in the hijacking. No evidence that any of them were linked to terrorism including one passenger who we believe was uighur, in that region in china that has been known to be an area where there has been some terrorist activity. The comment from china, there is no connection to terrorism at all. How can china be sure . How should the u. S. Be looking at that statement . Obviously, we are still looking for clues here. China has some reasons to say that there were no terrorism involved. Chinese terrorism involved in this. Internationally, they want a certain reputation. They want the world to think that they have their islamist, extremist issues under control. They have a very large domestic audience interested in the fate of these passengers. A lot of groups they are speaking to. This data originated in malaysia, not china. China has a lot of reasons for saying what they are saying. It would be good to know if they were correct. They are probably not going to give us any insight into their investigation. That brings me to our next question. Is there a chance there is more going on than just search for this missing plane. They have a big reason to look at more than 100 passengers were from china. Is there a chance they would be withholding certain data and china . It is certainly possible. I have a concern about china from the security perspective, the rise of their military and the large defense budgets. I think this is humanitarian. Eve tho even though china is a repressive government, they have to Pay Attention to domestic opinion. Some of the families lost on this aircraft, assuming that they are lost, there are reports of them undergoing a hunger strike. There is going to be a lot of pressure on the government to get to a resolution. The government in beijing is dealing with a lot of pressures right now. Peter, could i ask you a little bit about the investigation. One of the latest pieces of news comes from thailand saying their radar picked up what could very well be this flight on 370, flying north and making a radical turn south. Thai radar picked this up. They didnt tell anybody for days. They didnt act on it at the time either. We know malaysian radar, military radar, picked this up. Picked up the massive big turn a week and a half ago when it happened. They didnt act on it at the time. Should this be reason for concern when we are talking about air security in this region of the world that no actions were taken then and it has taken so long to learn all this . John, you make a very good point. I have to say in hearing these reports, sassuming they are all accurate, i think in the United States, we are quite spoiled by the professionalism of our faa, and our ntsb, and our military and what they do. There are capacity differences if i can put this gently, between the United States and what were seeing with some of these countries in southeast asia. I think thats the best way. I dont think there is any malfeasance or benevolence involved. I think there is just major differences in the capacities of these different institutions here in the United States and overseas. We are asking them to meet our standards. Sometimes we have real challenges this way too. Im sure they are doing the best they can. I think there are differences in capacities. Peter, real quick. There is so much focus on these pilots. I know the investigation is centering on them and malaysia. If something is to come up, wouldnt something have come up by now if there was something there. We are dealing with capabilities. We in the United States sometimes suffer from the csi effect. We expect we can know everything, more than we can know in a 45 minute or an hour period. We also have fantastic Law Enforcement and intelligence p capabi
