Their theories. The big question, and i think, jeff, you said this, a reward would be pennies on the dollars. Exactly. Why isnt there a reward posted . A reward would be pennies on the dollar for what this search is costing. Thanks for joining us. Good evening. Its 11 00 on the east coast. 11 00 a. M. In malaysia. We begin with several pieces of information. Item one, the search zone is focusing on the southwest coast of australia. Item two, investigators tell us the path it took, the path caught on radar suggests the rout was preprogrammed to hit certain navigational points. Item three, the fbi is examining
data from the captains home Flight Simulator. We have a lot to get to. First, because these developments have been stacking up day after day, i just want to take a moment tonight to try to get everyone back on the same page with what we know so far. It begins on the morning of the 8th, flight 370 takes off from kuala lumpur bound for beijing. The final stream from the Acars Data Re
when they thought they heard the ping from the black box, and it s 2.5 miles down there. you would have to be on top of it but they were hearing something from another boat. it seems incompetent. i can t imagine for the families. some people refer to ping as the satellite ping, others are pinnings heard underwater. but as far as the families, they ve been doing interviews and you can see the anguish in their faces. [speaking in foreign language] this man s son was on flight 370 when it went missing and says he is upset because the malaysian prime minister doesn t plan to meet with the families while visiting china while other family members have been expressing their feelings about yet another dead end in the search for this plane. listen. it just is another slap in the face, another long road for us, and, look, i m just
reporter: so you are hearing some relatives now beginning to accept the possibility and the possible reality that this plane has ended up in that area of the indian ocean. now you ask anded me what is planned for tonight. keep in mind, today is april 7th, the plane disappeared a month ago tomorrow. and after midnight tonight at 12:41 exactly, a.m., the relatives are going to be having a candle light vigil until 8:11 in the morning. now 12:41 was when the plane took off for beijing, 8:11 is when the last satellite ping was detested. so, we are planning to be there, this will be a very emotional moment, i have been in the room where the relatives meditate and pray. it s heartbreaking when you see the handwritten notes on the wall there.
first they concentrate near the malaysian peninsula. but then they expand east towards vietnam. and west towards the andeman islands. but there s another problem the way the international investigators have been working together is kind of like a bunch of teen age girls running around a locker room all trying not to show each other what they ve got. who is in charge? it has to be managed better than it is in order to get those answers. taens begin to come fast and furious with the discovery of on several satellite ping else sent from the plane, referred to as handshakes. so there is a box on the plane which gets you to the satellite. that box was still alive. so it s not unlike your cell phone. when your cell phone is on, even if you re not making a call, it s constantly checking in with the nearest cell tower.
this calculation, captain darby based on aviation authorities and boeing officials pinpointing where this plane may have been gone based on evidence they have been collaborating on. is that enough for you? do you think that s still a long shot? it s mostly the satellite ping they got. it establishes a ring. the ring can be anywhere along that ring. there s a lot of additional assumptions about the speed of the plane, altitude, how much gas it would burn. those are assumptions that are all variables. they have made their best guess. there are so many variables the actual outcome is uncertain. clive, we re also talking about a lot of theories. we re entering the fourth week now. theories whether the plane went down north or south. if it was a mechanical problem. whether it had anything to do with the pilot and copilot, a sinister plan. you are also wanting more
