Able to determine if that is part of a boeing 777. if it is, we then have a starting point to start expanding the grid, the search grid out looking for additional debris, things like seat cushions and things like baggage that may have been in an overhead bin that is open and floating. those kind of smaller items that a satellite can't see, visually they'll be able to map it debris field quickly and that will give us an estimate of the size and also what the wind and current has done to distribute this debris field. >> greg, back to you, based on where this debris was found and what it's lookin...

Minutes 12 days tea go. 12:41 a.m. takes off from kuala lumpur headed for a 6-hour journey to beijing, china. acars reports in at 1:07 a.m. the plane veers to the west. 12 minutes later copilot, "all right, good night." 2:00 a.m. the transponder stops working. 12 minutes later at 1:37 the acars system does not work. at 2:15 is the last time on radar the malaysian military picked up that plane. at 8:11 a.m. the plane was last

Is significant. but i'd like to go back to one other point that was made earlier. whether this turn was the result of a mechanic malfunction on the airplane or something else, i have to say, at 1:07 when the acars system reported that there was a program change for the heading in the airplane followed by 12 minutes later when the pilot made his infamous remark "all right, good night," pilots don't make their change in course mid-flight without getting permission from air traffic control. they had 12 minutes to talk to air traffic control and did not do that. i think that this -- this was a wel...

You make of this latest information? what does it tell you? >> i think we've known for a while, at least a lot of folks i've been talking to, that this has been an intentional maneuvering of the aircraft. one of the pilots clearly had the intention, as soon as that plane took off, he was going to take it in another direction, why, i have no idea, it was very clear, not only -- i mean, the fact that the transponder was turned off, the fact that the acars stopped functioning. this type of thing does not happen, and now with this new point you bring up tonight i think it's 100% clear, this pilot ...

Tell the kelly file as we told you, moments ago, that before, before this co pilot said good night to air traffic control, this plane had already made its youturn to the west and that was not mentioned in the communication. trace gallagher live with another theory about. >> until they find the black boxes of these planes, the cockpit voice recorder, everything is still on the table. this is the theory that says that someone wanted to incapacitate the passengers and then reuse that plane, land somewhere else and reuse it, the theory is, the jet went to 45,000 feet, which the radar says it did. ...
