They did not find anything. they found a wooden pallet with strapping belts, pallets used in the airline industry but also used in shipping. it's not clear where this pallet came from. also malaysian authorities clarified what was in that last transmission from the acars communication system at 1:07 minutes before the plane had its last communication with the ground. officials say it showed nothing unusual and the plane was at that point still headed for beijing. that undermines the theory that the plane's computer was preprogrammed to take a different route before that 1:07 transmission. i wa...

On the immarsat they had provided coordinates to the researchers two days after the accident and where they are searching now. it also suggested more data from satellites and radar points to come. certainly more and more nations are providing information and assets to help in the search. of course you'd also want to wrap up back at home base, if you will, on the issue of what was in the pilot's information to close that door, that alleyway once and for all. what was in the maintenance records, anything outstanding. a lot of it is shutting down avenues so you don't have loose ends. hopefully ad...

Control of pilot on the yoke but turning the heading in which case the computer would still be flying the plane, autopilot under control and hit those way opponents we talked about perfectly. could you show us how that would work? >> go ahead, tell us. >> the autopilot is controlled through this panel. we call this the remote control panel. all it is, the number you see here is heading. degree magnetic this is compass, cartesian points, north, east, south, west. all you have to do is turn the nobody and the airplane will turn that direction. >> feel it now. it's being done automatically. nobod...
