Sounds like nobody was alive when it went down? >> well, it's possible. at this point, anything is possible. we have so little information to go on. although i would say that there's a lot of talk about this sort of ghost plane theory. based on what we know about the initial flight of the plane, it does seem pretty well-established that the flight was under deliberate control, at least in the beginning part of the flight. >> that's certainly what officials from malaysia seem to be saying, which is why they seem to be dead set on the notion it's a criminal act, even though they haven't produced...

Whatever, fumes. everybody is now unconscious, but because the plane is on a new heading and because it's on automatic pilot and it's got six hours of fuel, it will fly and fly and fly until eventually it runs out of fuel, the engines turn off and then the plane begins a descent into the ocean. now it's not clear if that descent would be dramatic or whether it would be gradual. there are a number of features on this airplane to make it gradual. either way, without human control, once it gets to the water, it is likely to have a catastrophic ending. that is the ghost plane theory. we're not sur...

As the search continues for any wreckage of flight 370, so continues the search for answers. the big question still looming what happened to this plane. the mystery has led to a lot of different avenues for investigators. right now we want to take a close look at the so-called ghost plane theory that everyone on board was perhaps unconscious because of loss of pressurization or smoke from a fire and then the plane continued to fly for hours on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel. that's one scenario investigators are examining. it happens very rarely. it does happen. it has happened. so we're ...

There. she's waiting for word on her parents, her daughter and her daughter's fiance. it's unthinkable one family's loss. up next with so many questions remaining about flight 370 we're going to take a look at one of the theories that investigators are looking at. the so-called ghost plane theory that the jet somehow flew on auto pilot for hours after the passengers and crew perhaps were unconscious. that's one theory that investigators have. we'll see what that would look like from inside a flight simulator. also ahead from the black boxes may not solve this mystery even if they are found. ...

Take to scans an area of the ocean floor? >> reporter: that's one biggest pegsly in the southern indian ocean because it is so deep there. you've got to work to get this equipment as low as possible down to the ocean floor. and then trailing it behind you. think about how long that cable is going to be. trailing that behind you. you can't go too far or too fast because you might lose something, lose a connection. so you're talking about painstakingly slow work to go through the ocean. especially when you have not really a good idea where it is. it takes a very long time. so that explains why t...
