minister of transportation, is saying it. you just heard it. you can play the sound bite again. we just heard it. we did hear it but i m just saying the investigation is has been chaotic. and you really don t know what to believe. exactly! that s exactly the situation we are in at the moment. it is actually worrisome that at this point, carol, at this point, we are we re basically back at square one. i heard your introduction at the beginning of the program asking, are we back at square one? and the answer is, yes. which is why the involvement of thee ntsb and the faa is so important because bob is absolutely right there is no one better anywhere in the world at interpreting this data of what they are getting. and the data is so incomplete and it s so partial and it s so random from what we understand that this is crucially
to the story, the man closest to the investigation is so wrong on this fundamental fact of whether the engines continued and whether there has been information, then this investigation is well and truly in deep trouble. i know cnn is digging for its own information on that angle of the story. richard quest, bob francis, many thanks to both of you. you re welcome. also this morning, malaysia knocking down another possible lead. these chinese satellite image that appeared to show some kind of debris. malaysia says china released the images, quote, by mistake and search crews have found no sign of flight 370. david mckenzie is in beijing with that side of the story. hi, david. carol, hi, carol. these were really a strong lead yesterday. these images of three objects in the ocean around the gulf of thailand which a chinese official said were potential the
families of those missing. paul weeks was on flight 370 heading to a job in mongolia. before boarding, he handed his wife his wedding ring and watch to give to their sons if anything should happen to him. his wife spoke to piers morgan live last night. i m praying that, you know, i can give that back to him. so i can hold on to it because there s no finality to it. we re not getting any information. the hunt for the plane and the answers continues. jim clancy joins us now from the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur. a question for you about who is in charge of this investigation. it seems like the military is taking the lead. oh, my goodness. jim clancy is frozen. his shot is frozen. we re having technical difficulties, obviously. we ll get back to him as soon as we can. the malaysian military does appear to be in charge of the investigation. along with civilian authorities. we re going to sort that out a
missing, could they still be a live? probably not. if they re in that rubble, it would be very difficult to survive. it could possibly be that someone is under a piece of heavy steel or something and some air underneath and haven t been affected by the toxic fumes, by the water, by the heat. there s a remote possibility. that s why the firefighters will continue to search until they get all that rubble cleared and make sure no one else is in there. while they re doing that, the investigation continues. can you kind of take us through where that investigation goes? we all start off assuming it s a gas leak and assume it s an old gas pipe. it could have been a water main that broke the gas pipe. a new gas pipe that was installed recently in the building up to five floors. there s all kinds of possibilities. there are reports of people
there was a report about chinese satellite imagery which spoke to the need to focus the search and rescue effort on a certain portion of the ocean. then we heard about the engine reports on substantiatioctiates. we have blocks of information but they re not coming together to draw one clear picture. as you sit and take this all in and i don t think this kind of investigation would ever take place here in the united states. do you? i seriously doubt it. we have a very unified approach to how we deal with accidents. the type of coverage, type of technologies that we have here in the u.s. is such that it would be highly improbable we would have something like this. i want to talk about the pilots for just a second. something else the malaysian government denied this morning is they searched the lead pilot s house.
