The investigation. the idea no indication from the acars data, wireless transmission of data from the plane that the plane was preprogrammed. i have clive next to me. you're experienced in these issues. as tom reminded, it wasn't just acars transmission that turned out to be false that gave an indication, it's that the plane flew steady by way points, less likely for you or me if we were experienced pilots to handle than an autopilot. aren't there ways for the pilot without preprogramming, turning the dial, the heading. >> i think this underlines something, this plane does not disappear. what ...

>> good afternoon, jim. i initially had a theory myself that something happened that was immediate -- required immediate attenti attention. the whole concept of acars reporting information contrary to that sort of dashed that theory. we're back to the point where the pilots easily could have been dealing with an internal problem or had a gun to their head. they can't really say. but the fact that it would be premeditated would take away all those other scenarios. so acars is doing its normal job, they have normal communication, they have normal acars reporting, and then a line is drawn and thi...

Malaysian authorities are contradicting that this turn had been preprogrammed 12 some-odd minutes before the plane took that turn, it gave an indication at the time that when the cockpit said "good night," an odd communication to give, to say everything's fine when in fact you prepam programmed a turn off course to the city of beijing, the sequence in key raised questions about whether this was intentional. now, again, to reiterate, we're being told by malaysian authorities that in fact at 1:07, that last wireless communication from plane via the acars system, there was no indication this turn...

They did not find anything. they found a wooden pallet with strapping belts, pallets used in the airline industry but also used in shipping. it's not clear where this pallet came from. also malaysian authorities clarified what was in that last transmission from the acars communication system at 1:07 minutes before the plane had its last communication with the ground. officials say it showed nothing unusual and the plane was at that point still headed for beijing. that undermines the theory that the plane's computer was preprogrammed to take a different route before that 1:07 transmission. i wa...

And not the same fidelity as the images if the chinese and australians earlier in the week and something else came out today. we talked about the acars data. that is the data burst that comes from the plane. it's transmitted every 30 minutes or something in it and really updates what is happening with the plane's systems. the last acars ka da that burst we said before was a 1:07 a.m. malaysian authorities today came out and contradicted something. u.s. authorities said last week that the last acars data burst suggested that the pilot, somebody in the cockpit had preprogrammed in a u-turn. auth...
