Flight simulator? why would someone who is doing this kind of stuff go ahead and delete certain files? >> well, it could be that his hard drive was getting full. i think just the act of deleting a file off your computer is not an indictment of anything. we have to dig into it deeper. and we should have been doing this about a week ago. >> better late than never. >> right. >> they'll still be able to find out -- i assume they'll be able to find out what was deleted, right, mark? this should not be that difficult. >> no, i would think they would be able to get that. remember, if you're going to ...

>> i know for sure, i flew this plane. >> you flew this airliner. >> yeah, how many times. >> and so what do you think happened? being someone who has actually been behind the controls of this plane? >> it's very strange. because the lack of communication is the one that's really, really puzzling. that we -- the pilots are not communicating. there was an emergency. and i think from the second or third day, i've already come to my own private conclusion that there must be some form of unlawful human interference. it could be anyone on the airplane. >> if you're convinced it's not the pilot, doe...

Once again, joining us, aviation analyst, mark weise and peter goelz and tom fuentes. what do you make of this new development, tom? >> i think that shows, wolf, they are having the other experts, the u.s. and the british and other experts look at the data, look at the information. as i mentioned earlier, in terms of the flight simulator, would they need to look at the monitor, the joystick or the wires. they need to look at the memory in the computer itself. or did he have any other evidence in the house, like thumb drives, that might have flight plans for some other exotic city that he might...

Law forcement analyst, tom fuentes, assistant director of the fbi. mark, if there had been a fire or some emergency, wouldn't the pilot still have been able to communicate at least something back to ground control? we've got an emergency, sos, or whatever? >> yes, absolutely. and there is a couple ways. certainly with a transponder, by alerting an emergency code. but remember the three tenants of aviation, navigate, and communicate. somebody would always be flying the airplane, somebody working the problem. and it same time, going off the intended track, intruding somebody's air space so you c...

Expensive that they're going to have to step back. >> mark, you're a pilot. is it possible that a 777, a huge plane like this, could go into the indian ocean and disappear without any debris, without any evidence whatsoever and just go right to the bottom of the ocean? >> well, you know, i think most of the aircraft would probably sink. but there are parts of the aircraft that would float, whether now or in a short period of time from now. i think you're going to see something, some debris coming to the surface that either through serial number or through paint you'll be able to determine that...
