But coincidentally, the distance between kuala lumpur and beijing and kuala lumpur and perth is almost the same. so if you factor in the fuel load would have been to beijing plus an alternate plus 45 minutes. that's the law. so that whole bit where they went out and turned around, let's say that wipes out your reserves. so basically, perth or north, a line from perth or north is where it would end up. because of the similarities in range. >> it's interesting again these are all the scenarios investigators are looking at. we've got to leave it there. miles o'brien, thank you very much. richard ...

The search area. what they must do now is reverse engineer where this debris, if it turns out to be the right thing, where it was a couple of weeks ago because we have to look at drift patterns. what they're looking for is a clue whether or not this plane had shifted to the left or to the right because if you look at the target zones for where it would have hit, some search areas are more likely than others. we made them red here. if it ran out of fuel early, if it depleted all of its area early, we're talking about the main location for the bulk of things that would have sunk at the top end o...

Of gasz. well, that's fairly constant. but with a plane like this, all those other factors, how much it had to turn and maneuver and how low it was determines how quickly it burns out its fuel load, on top of which, brooke -- i know that you would think of this, maybe a lot of people wouldn't, but as you burn all that fuel, all of that weight, the physics of the plane are changing. because it's getting lighter. and that also comes into play. so knowing when the fuel ran out, that's still a guess. and again, if you're off by five minutes, ten minutes, 20 minutes in terms of when the fuel ran ou...

Accident would not have happened if the wear strip hadn't been on the runway. in the same trial, the former head of testing for concorde, former head engineer for concorde and a retired civil aviation chief are also tried for involuntary manslaughter. the trial debated the role of many factors, including debris on the runway, fuel load, baggage weight, scheduling pressure and a missing tire spacer. >> an accident is a series of events. all accidents are series of events. this one was many events coming together very tragically. >> the trial helps bring to light a confluence of factors that cou...
