tv   Charlie Rose  Bloomberg  March 12, 2014 8:00pm-9:01pm EDT

8:00 pm
8:01 pm
>> from our studios in new york, this is "charlie rose." >> the search continues for malaysia airlines boeing 777 that went missing on saturday. the time of this taping there remains no clues about what happened.
8:02 pm
or, where it might be today. malaysian authorities have announced that after the plane stopped communicating with ground control, it changed course. two iranian men on the flight were traveling with stolen european passports that initially led to fears of terrorism. that possibility has not been ruled out, interpol says that it is unlikely. naval vessels and planes from around the world continue to search the sees. -- seas. joining me from washington, bob orr, the justice and homeland security correspondent for cbs news. from boston, dave gallo. the oceanographer who led the successful search for the record air france flight 447 in 2009. thank you for joining us. let me begin with the obvious question. what do we know at this time about flight 370? >> it is amazing. four days after the plane disappeared, we do not know where it is, and we do not know what happened to the plane. we have conflicting information and not very many facts to go with that. we haven't found the wreckage .
8:03 pm
we do not have the plane's black box. we're are working on the intel side. the u.s. intelligence agencies around the world have taken a look at the passenger manifest list. they do not see any potential ties to terror there. we have a missing airplane and we can't say whether or not it crashed because of mechanical failure or sabotage, maybe a bomb. we just do not know. >> it is unlikely some people suggest it was a bomb because there was not a scattering of wreckage. >> that is right. we have seen in past crashes, it hold in theunched a cargo. it spread debris about an 80 mile swath. here we have all of these ships scouring the gulf of thailand. we do not see one shred of debris. that tells me they are looking
8:04 pm
in the wrong place, or the plane did not, part. it hit the water in tax. -- intact. >> what would make of the report that the malaysian military, the last time the flight was seen, it was 100 miles off course and traveling to the opposite direction? >> it doesn't make any sense. they lost the planet 35,000 feet. plane,nsponder on the the device that tells the controllers how high you are, where it is going, they stop sending messages. all communication was lost. the military says after that happens, we have seen so-called primary echoes on military radar. -- blips,st blitz
8:05 pm
moving away from the scene. the military doesn't know exactly what those were. they may have been false echoes. they can't take any chances. now they have expanded the search area. >> you and i talked about this on sunday. the idea that you would assume a pilot would send out some kind of distress signal if there was a mechanical or other possibility. >> in a perfect world, he would tell the controllers and his home dispatch what he is up against. pilots fly by a strict discipline. you a v-8, navigate, and then you communicate. if you are at 35,000 feet and you have a couple hundred people behind you, and something breaks or a system fails, the first thing you want to do is get control of the situation continued to fly the airplane. don't become fixated on the problem. it may not be as serious as you think it is.
8:06 pm
you have got to fly the airplane first. once you have regained control, or have taken care of the tell people what is happening. it sounds counterintuitive. soething was so sudden, cataclysmic, they had their hands flood do not have time to tell us what time -- what went wrong. assessmentll me your , having looked and talked and made your own analysis. france 447 was going to one of the most difficult cases. this is becoming one of the most mysterious searches of all time. exactlytracking almost like air france 447. a lot of false leads. the one thing we had on 447 was we were sure of the last known position. that is what we had here. now there is some question about whether this military radar
8:07 pm
solve the plane or not. if you do not have that, it is a long way from being solved. >> what makes sense to you? >> what doesn't make sense is that -- we're missing an aircraft with 239 people onboard. where is it? how do you lose a plane? 447, thousands of miles from the nearest port. this is in a highly trafficked area. how do you lose an aircraft in that place? --heard earlier that may be but there is not a shred of evidence that plan ever landed on the water. bestsed on what i know, my scenario is what? >> we are stumped. i talked to my other leaders this morning. we are scratching our heads. commandsorry for the
8:08 pm
center that is taking in this information. i'm sure they have had sleepless nights. the criticism is growing. it is a horrible situation to be in. people are wondering if they know what they are doing or not. they need confidence of the public now. we do not have any other clue. what we would normally do is start with the last known position. you have to figure out x marks the spot. you do that with a combination of last known position and whatever you find on the surface. that is missing in this case. all you have to go on is that last known position from radar. >> frustration from people saying we have walked every trail, and they in nowhere. >> absolutely. they flat-out say this is the most mystifying one they have seen so far. in the past we have had a lot of questions about flights.
8:09 pm
bomb, or a missile, or an explosion. air france was a very tough on. deepwater, remote area. in this one, the facts that have been presented do not make sense. it leads me to believe that either we do not have all of the ts.rect facr we do not know everything there is to know. the organ i can conclude is for days inn, the absence of any i think we must just be looking in the wrong spot. that is hard to reconcile with the last known position on radar. you have gaps in the radar coverage. it is possible the plane transponder failed and continued in a dead zone. as the search expands, we will find it. i don't know when. >> what is the latest on the passport investigations? and what they are uncovering.
8:10 pm
the reports that we get that so far it does not lead to terrorism. what are they finding out about passengers and the pilot? >> there were two gentlemen on the plane who turned out to be , who pay for safe passage to europe. middleman to buy the tickets for this flight. then they were planning to go on to europe. u.s. authorities are fairly confident that these men were seeking asylum. they were not terrorists. the do not have -- they do not believe they have any role in the plane's disappearance. all of those people, until they can be cleared, it is hard to say, are suspects to a degree. they're are looking for derogatory information. have been told,
8:11 pm
they have not found anything so far that shows suspect linked. there is one group, the chinese martyrs brigade, who took credit for taking the plane down. u.s. intelligence dismissed that as a hoax. >> but will take because of this? what will change because of this? >> i was hoping after air france 447, this went on for two years. waiting for some sort of resolution. we have to do better at being able to track planes. better with the cockpit voice recorder, black boxes, to locate those. those are the only witness to the event. the surest way to do that is to find those things. two years have passed. there is not a rapid response.
8:12 pm
take the ocean seriously at all. we are hardly equipped to respond rapidly. especially in the gulf of thailand. we are talking to .5 miles. serious technology to search at those depths. we had to get more serious about the oceans and being able to explore. a lot more serious about being able to track these planes before they impact the ocean. >> who is directing the search? the malaysians? >> this is a malaysian investigation. that is a sensitive point. the u.s. and brits have sent help. we have at the eye agents -- fbi agents. they are waiting to be placed in the investigation. pride,int of national they have pretty much said they
8:13 pm
will call you if they need you. i think there is a lot of expertise around the world with these crash labs and investigators who were willing to help. they have to be asked in. >> thank you. colleague, thank you as well. ♪ >> robert wagner is here. he began his career before the golden age ended in the late 1940's. he had inside view of that period. you must remember this." it is a pleasure to see you. 84.ou look -- yourself?are of >> i try to keep it together. i do some stretches and a few weights. i swim a bit.

>> eat well? >> yeah. not as much. >> this book is about a hollywood that you knew. tommy about it. >> i work with a lot of young people. they always ask me about what it was like. what was it like being able in the contract system. i tell them. universal had 40 young people under contract. columbia had 20. every studio had a young contract players list. we were all anxious, eager to get into the movies. today, that is not possible. you are a young actor today, you have to go out and get an acting coach. get a manager, try to get a part
