The new math gets to us almost certainty? >> i would like to put my life -- wouldn't like to put my life 100% on it. i think given the significant lack of evidence we have had so far, i think this is the most promising lead we have got and we need to treat it with respect and follow it up. i think going -- following on from what richard was saying, it all revolves around the acars. when the acars is powered on through the battery master switch in an air field, it will talk via vhf. so if you imagine a mobile phone when you take it home and you're on wi-fi, it will automatically link on to the ...

Exit malaysian air space, which is sort of the odd scenario and acars system. then the route is completely turned around dramatically. that suggests that either the pilot intentionally did it for whatever reason or that something was happening in the cockpit on the airplane with some possibly some of the passengers. we can't rule out the possibility of a passengers -- of a terrorist link to that. but one thing we do know for certain, the transponders turned off and acars routes changed. what caused that? we don't know at this point in time. it's either an accidental fire th caused that or a mo...

Goggles, for me this is not a plausible option and not what we should be looking at. it is taking people right down the wrong route. we should be concentrating on the facts, getting back to whether the transponders and acars has been and focusing on that. this is pie in the sky. >> les? >> orchestrating something -- somebody is on the same route, it might be semiplausible. but the way this scenario was going out, there was a triangulation that had the airplane had to catch, just too much. >> before i go to mary, jeff is like, one more thing. >> yes. >> one thing i want to say, which is this, p...

Not able to be located due to weather and other obvious obstacles, did we not know this on friday, the likelihood that the aircraft had ended, as they are putting it today? >> i'll tell you what that was. the whole business of the northern arc that went up to kazakhstan and so forth over the himalayas and the southern arc into the indian ocean, all that was based on the plane is not communicating with ground, except there are these signals being sent out by the acars system that goes up and interrogates a satellite. they knew the satellite got seven different hits, one an hour, it's a beam fro...

Piece together this puzzle really is finding that first piece of debris. >> right. in a way, this doesn't move us closer to answering any mysteries. we have just reinforced the idea this is where we should be looking. i think this is actually going to put more pressure on the searchers to find something and really try to bring some closure. this is a brutal, brutal process for the people whose loved ones were on that plane and for all the world watch to go try to solve this mystery. when air france 447, the case often likened to this one, they started finding the first bits of floating debris ...
