>> what's the latest you're hearing about the possibility of terrorism and stolen passports? >> the latest we've received in the last hour, i'm told by a u.s. official that there are more and more indications that the loss of mh-370 is early in

the investigation. more and more signs are being reported that it is not a terror event. they keep all lines of investigation open, malaysian authorities passed on to u.s. authorities, some of the biometric data from these two men that travelled on stolen passports, including their thumb prints which have now been received by the fbi, and the fbi will now run through a u.s. terror database, to make sure that nothing turns up money these people based on the biometric data were not tied to or suspected having ties to data. they're keeping all lines open, but the read i'm getting from u.s. intelligence officials, they have more and more indications it's not a terror event. >> presumably some theorys may be able to be ruled out, based on those fingerprints that are being analyzed by the fbi. had they say it's not a terror event, there are stolen passports, raises suspicious.

there are other options not related to terror, stolen passports and the ring and the like? >> that's what i'm told. this is not definitive yet, they're still looking into it. the circumstances of this, including this iranian middleman you mentioned. he bought tickets in cash and flew one way to europe. it fits the pat pattern of a human smuggling ring. it fits the pattern, they haven't established it with clarity yet. the signs look more likely to be a human smuggling case than a terror case. >> it remains to be seen how significant this all is, we'll know more when searchers find the wreckage. they have not done that yet. jim clancy reports their effort is growing. >> reporter: the massive

multinational search for malaysia airlines flight 370 grows by the day. the u.s. is sending a second vessel to aid. a number of false leads have already been chased down by investigates, samples from an oil slick, nearly 10 miles long, discovered saturday off the coast of vietnam, did not contain jet fuel and objects thought to be debris. a life craft and the planes tail weren't. >> after more than 30 hours without contact with the aircraft, we believe family members should prepare themselves for the worst. >> reporter: family members have spent the last three days worrying about their missing loved ones, becoming increasingly frustrated by the weight and lack of information relatives have gathered in beijing's airport, where nearly two thirds of those missing are chinese. among the missing, three

americans, including 51-year-old phillip wood, an ibm executive living in kuala lumpur, described by his family as incredibly generous creative and intelligent. >> pretty calm, pretty strong. we're hanging in there. >> jim, i remember when that air france flight from rio to paris disappeared, it took five days to actually find wreckage floating in the water, it took two years to recover the black box, but officials are now expanding the search radius, time is not on their side, the longer it takes, the harder it gets, doesn't it? >> it certainly gets harder, but you know, i think the simple answer is that they don't know what else to do. they have searched the area where they believe that that plane was at the time that it disappeared from radar, they found nothing. every lead has proved false. you have no choice but to expand the search area, they're under

pressure, the relatives are distressed, we've got chinese families flying in on extra flights, that have been put on by malaysian airlines, they're coming here to be closer to the place they saw their loved ones. before they got on that flight, an hour later, vanished into thin air. authorities here have been pushed by the chinese and others to come up with answers, they're pushing them sf 8selves. they say, we're going to try to intensify this, we're going to expand the search area, we're going to find that plane. anderson? >> jim clancy appreciate the update from kuala lumpur. phillip wood's two brothers are going to join us tonight talking about their brothers, the faith they share that's getting them through these incredibly difficult days. how the investigation is proceeding, joining us, two women who have been on the front lines when airliners have been brought down. george w bush's homeland

security adviser, mary schiavo, she currently represents victims and families of transportation accidents. fran, first of all, you issued reporting tonight from his sources, they seemed to be moving away from the idea that this could be terrorism, stolen passport, perhaps part of a human smuggling ring, what do you make of it? >> it's natural investigators were going to teich ever take the lead they had, stolen passports from thailand, austrian and italian, paid for in cash, same travel agent, they were going to look at that, and kuala lumpur has a terrorism expert. it was natural the law enforcement and intelligence communities were going to take that seriously, of course as you begin to run the leagues down. now they're going to look at, if it's not terrorism, is it a larger criminal network, is it a

passport operation, smuggling operation. >> it may have been coincidence it was on this plane? >> exactly right, they're going to look to see were there other stolen passports on that plane? >> the other thing this may raise, we find now, the united states and european unions was 100% against the interpol database. obviously not every country. >> i was shocked by that. and we're going to have more reporting on that tonight on the program. how common stolen passports are, and how you would think there's no way someone could use a stolen passport. a lot of places you can. >> this is going to raise for international standards, what are they, why don't others all stand for that, and what can we do to increase the security screeners. >> the did bre has not been found. i keep going back to this, the closest one i could think of, where it took five days. if something occurred at 35,000 feet, you would think there

would be a wide debris field? >> yes, a widely scattered debris field. air france is not the only accident where it took several days. there were many accidents in history where it took several days for them to find it. so much on the plane is able to float. the seats, the life vests, the life raft, the service carts. there have been cases where parts of the wing and the tail have been able to float, so i don't have any doubt that they will eventually find it, and i believe firmly they will get those black boxes, they always do. this isn't the first case where it's taken four or five days for the debris to appear. >> that water was 13,000 feet deep, the area in the gulf of thailand is 296 feet. which is not deep at all. >> that's right, it will be easier on the searchers, they have to listen for the pings from the black boxes, the batteries can last up to a month.

they have the submersiblsubmers. in valuejet, it was divers that found them. in valujet, they touched them. they're far from out of hope at this point. they just started on the black boxes. >> how involved is the u.s.? >> well, you have americans -- you're going to have some of the family members of one victim, once there are americans involved, the u.s. law enforcement, the fbi could -- takes the lead for the u.s. role, and they'll coordinate and provide support to malaysian authorities, they'll work with their thai counterparts, where the passports were stolen, they'll work with interpol, and the other countries where they have victims. >> mary, what do you make of the idea that officials are now moving away from the terrorism idea? >> well, i think statistically, you look at it, for example, in 80% of the cases, our natural transportation safety board, three large causes are

mechanical, including maintenance and manuals, pilot error and weather. we don't have a weather component that we know of. the odds are, it will be a mechanical and pilot error, terrorism actually ranks far less than the number of accidents. and because it is a boeing, boeing will be there in full force. there's 1,000 reasons for them to participate, and it's called 777. >> a lot being made of the fact that the pilots didn't communicate. pilots didn't communicate then either, even though they were wrestling with the aircraft that we now know it took two years to figure out. we're wrestling with the aircraft. people shouldn't assume just because the pilots aren't communicating, that doesn't mean they couldn't have communicated, right? >> that's right. in many catastrophic crashes they don't. it wasn't terrorism, but something very catastrophic happened at a high altitude, there just wasn't time, they were fighting. >> great to have you on, your expertise. as i mentioned, more now on the

passport angle and how common passport theft may be, this is surprising. >> it's a scary thought to think you could be flying on an international flight with the passenger using a stolen passport, but authorities say it's very possible. >> so many governments do not check outbound passengers. and by the way, that's over 1 billion tickets a year that are issued without a check being performed to see if the documents were stolen or lost. used to get those international tickets. >> the database contains an astounding 40 million records of stolen passports, it's the responsibility of each country's government to check that database for passengers on international flights, not the airlines. >> the airline is not able to actually make an inquiry, with interpol or even the local police about whether you're anted or the passport has been reported stolen. the country, the government does. >> while the u.s. routinely

checks every passenger's passport with interpol database, many other countries do not, leaving a gaping hole in the security of international flights. >> the number of countries that belong to interpol are not charged a fee for accessing any of those databases. if the country has sufficient resources and technical capabilities to wire into interpol's virtual private network that's running 24 hours a day, then, they certainly would be able to access that database, and it's up to the will of the country to set it up and do itp p. >> accords to interpol's is a diftices, 800 million checks every year, 60 million passengers try to board planes using lost or stolen passports, many of those people are your garden variety traffickers. >> 60,000 people trying to use lost or stolen passports is a huge number.

how does the u.s. handle inbound international flights. >> well, anderson, the u.s. routinely checks all the passports, passengers coming in to the u.s., an opinion on when the u.s. gets a manifest on an inbound national flight. once the plane is already in the air, and that case, when that happens, customs and border patrol agents meet the plane as soon as it lands to confront that passenger. this is an issue that officials with interpol have been screaming about for years, trying to get more countries to use their free database, it is clear the u.s. is one of the biggest users of the database, running passports through it more than 250 million times a year. >> wow! appreciate the update. you can follow me at twitter @anderson dp cooler. i'll talk with the brothers of one of the missing americans, where they find their strength at a difficult time for any family.

he was heading back after a visit with his family, including tom and james who join us tonight. i can't imagine how difficult this time is for you both, james, how are you and your family holding up? >> we're doing okay, we're getting through. we're taking it -- sometimes an hour at a time, sometimes just a minute at a time, but we're holding together and we are working on this, because of faith. honestly, we're getting through this on our faith. and taking it just a little at a time. it's been a little bit numbing, to be honest. >> i know phillip has two sons, one of them is in college, are you in touch with them? how are they holding up? >> absolutely. they're doing okay too. we just saw them a couple days ago, they're with my mom and dad right now. and so we all process our grief a little different.

and so they're being a little quieter right now. so -- >> how did you first learn your brother's plane was miss something. >> my dad. he called me left a voice mail on my phone said james give me a call. about 17 minutes later i called him back, and i knew when i listened to his voice mail something wasn't right. >> i know phillip's girlfriend was waiting for him in beijing. initially she said that the information, access to the information was very slow from malaysian officials, has it gotten any better? >> honestly, her name is sarah, and so we want to reach out to her as well. and just tell her how much we love her. we know she's going through a tough time there in malaysia,

and we've got communication with the state department and the embassy in kuala lumpur, but as of yet, we know as much as everyone else. it seems to be getting more bizarre the twists in the story, where they can't find anything. we're just relying on faith and we've got a lot of people praying for us. and church and family and friends, they're helping us through this, and thank goodness we had two good parents that instilled that in us, you know, a belief in god and that's really what we're trying to get out there to everyone, that people need to have god in their lives, because everybody's going to go through difficult situations, and that's what's getting us through this right now. >> well, you know, you talked about wanting people to know your brother, what's he like?

>> phil is probably one of the most intelligent guys i've ever known, deep thinker, deep thinker, it's funny, i said the word gregarious at one point. even though he could be gregarious, it was in a small group, he could crack you up. he would switch over and be a deep thinker that really philosophiesed down deep. >> he was a guy that always had good advice for us. we would go to him when we needed to talk about things, we're very close, and he was an incredible artist, a great father to his boys, and, you know, best friend to his sister and james and i. and we just want everybody to know that as well about him, i mean, everybody that knows him knows that. we've been getting calls and e-mails from people wen have the

heard from that have been part of his life and our life with h him. and we're trying to keep his memory going, we're holding out hope, as of yet, there are no answers, to any of this. so can i read something to you real fast? >> sure, go ahead. >> this is a scripture that's keeping me going, personally. from colassians 3: 1 through 3. >> set your sites on the realities of heaven, where christ sits in the place of honor at god's right hand. think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth, for you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with christ in god. and that is what i'm thinking about. >> those words keep us going. >> i can understand why. james and tom, thank you so much. >> thanks, anderson. >> stay strong.

breaking news tonight, the fbi running two sets of thuprin through its database. the mystery of the malaysian flight could not be more of a mystery right now. it's one of the most high-tech planes on the plan et, built for long distances, considered one of the safest planes in the world, which only deepens the mystery, here's renee marsh. >> the boeing 777 is one of the most high-tech planes in the sky. and a workhorse of international travel. >> the 777 i have to say was probably the nicest, most sophisticated, but also one of the easier airplanes to fly. >> it's so sophisticated it beams messages to the ground to identify maintenance problems before it even lands.

>> there are systems to communicate with the company, there are even systems sometimes that monitor the health of the engines, automated reports. >> 777-200 are capable of flying from new york to almost anywhere in the world nonstop. >> really has an excellent safety record. >> that's why the mystery behind how this flight vanished has stumped the world, even pilots like mike weiss who flu 777s. >> this was way out of the ordinary, this is just something that happened instantaneously or relatively quickly and overcame the crew and the aircraft. >> reporter: since the first 777 rolled off the assembly line in 1994, the planes have made about 5 million flights. yet its first fatal crash came last july, when this asiana airlines 777 crashed in san francisco, three people died, the cause still under

investigation. but in this crash, finding the plane itself is still the first priority. renee marz kcnn washington. we're joined by chesley "sully" sullenberger and jim toma, he flew commercial jets for nearly 30 years. captain sullenberger, for a boeing 777 to disappear, it's one of the most reliable airlines out there, isn't it? >> it is. and it disappeared during one of the most risky times of flight, the cruise. planes are going to spend more of their time in cruise. >> the 777, it's got built in redundan

redundancy, it has backup systems if something goes wrong. the crew didn't have enough time or wasn't able to for whatever reason to actually communicate, what does that tell you? >> it tells me that something catastrophic took place there, it was sudden, unplanned and they had a lot to deal with quickly. >> captain sullenberger, you know what it's like to have to make a quick decision when something goes wrong on a flight. you say that when faced with a sudden emergency, pilots have a list of priorities, can you explain what those are? >> absolutely, in fact, most pilots know them by heart. first, 88, then navigate and only last communicate. the pilots would have been working together as a crew, there would be one pilot to his assigned a pilot flying in charge of controlling a flight path, the other pilot was monitoring to assist, aid and monitor the performance of the airplane and the other pilot and make sure that everything was

being done according to their procedures. that pilot monitoring would be the one typically who would be using the checklist, who would be talking to air traffic control on the radio, every way supporting and assisting the pilot flying. there are well defined rolls and responsibilities, we've learned how to take individual pilots and use techniques, human skills to make them more singer giftic, to make them better as a team than they ever could be as a collection of individuals. >> what do you mean, captain toma of the malaysian military, the plane may have been turning around before it vanished. i would imagine when planes change course, there's a protocol they follow? >> i like the fact that they say it may have been turning. i'm not sure it was. let's say the airplane broke up because of something that happened there. radar returns may not be as accurate as it is normally. so i'd like to examine that radar return a lot more

carefully and i'd like to look at a lot more things before i make the determination that he's going to do a 180 out there. i'm surprised to think the captain would make a 180 at that bone the in the flight. >> captain sullenberger, in terms of finding this aircraft if it is in the water, i go back to that air france flight. that was in water, i think about 13,000 feet deep. my understanding, the water in this area is only 296 feet deep. in terms of the black box, that has actual sonar device, it sends out a signal, doesn't it? >> yes, the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder would have acoustic beacons that operate on a battery power about 30 days. and they should be sending out pings that would be audible to vessels that have under water listening devices. that's assuming they're functioning, that's assuming they're not buried in the mud of

the sea floor, buried in aircraft wreckage that obscures the signal. and it assumes that vessels looking for it are within range of that acoustic beacon. >> how far away can they be? >> i think it depends on the conditions in the ocean, how deep it is, and whether there's a thermal layer, temperature gradient that might channel the acoustic signal away from the surface, it's hard to say, but probably tens of miles if it's not buried in wreckage or the sea mud. >> do you agree that it must have been something catastrophic that happened quickly? >> i think all indications are that it was something catastrophic that happened quickly, we just don't know yet what it was. and we probably will not know until the wreckage is found and the recorders have been recovered and analyzed, hopefully they'll provide useful data about what was said and done on the cockpit in the cockpit and what the flight parameters were in the moments leading up to this event.

>> always good to have you on the program, sorry it's under these circumstances. oscar pistorius literally got sick to his stomach in court today, during graphic testimony about reeva steenkamp's injuries during testimony.

an emotional day in the oscar pistorius murder trial. he broke down in the courtroom, he got physically ill throwing up as the pathologist testified about his girlfriend's fatal injuries, he described the damage caused by three bullets that pistorius fired into his girlfriend. it was probably the bullet that hit her in the head that killed her almost immediately. robin was in the courtroom and joins us tonight. >> i know you were inside, what happened in the courtroom? >> it was clearly very emotional for oscar. all of us watching, we were bystanders to what was a clearly gut-wrenching experience for him. he skrom vomited, wretched, gag. he found it physically difficult to listen to the testimony of this pathologist who quite

clinically went through the list of wounds, of exit wounds, of different injuries reeva steenkamp had on her body. no matter how clinical the testimony was, he really could not deal with it. and literally there was a soundtrack of him gagging through this quite clinical testimony, it was quite harrowing, i must say. >> i don't know that i've ever seen a defendant throwing up in court, this is not a jury trial, it's not something that would impact the jury about did the judge respond in anyway? >> reporter: i think what was key about the judge's questions she did say to his defense. what's up with your client, sort of to say, is he going to continue to make this noise? is he fully away that he needs to pay attention to what's being

said. she wasn't the least bit interested in his emotional or physical health. she was keen to know if he was so sick and so disengaged and traumatized by the whole procedure, that he might not be taking in the details. >> did the pathologist's testimony bolster the prosecution's events of how this played out? >> when he played down in terms of forensics was interesting, he said each of her wounds, the one to her hip, arm, head would have been potentially, actually if not fatal, so he said that you couldn't possibly have screamed or had a series of screams and yells for help after these very traumatic injuries, which, of course, plays into oscar pistorius' defense. and the time line of what's going to be argued.

and as we talked about this over the past few days and weeks ahead, it's going to be whose time line works out, fits into the details it's all very crucial, when did she scream. if she couldn't scream, how does that fit into each of the time lines, at the moment, what we're hearing are little bits of this puzzle, if we look back over the last six days, we're getting a clearer picture of both sides' case, it hasn't quite formula d formulated. >> robin, thanks very much. let's bring in our legal analyst, sunny hostin and criminal defense attorney mark geragos. how does pistorius throwing up in court -- have you ever seen that before? it's not a jury, just the judge. >> i think the way it was described today is what i would imagine, if there were a jury there my guess is they would have immediately called a recess, they would have sent the

jury out of the room, since you've got a judge, and at least by all accounts the judge was basically saying, look, if your client can't handle this and is not going to be able to assist you, we're going to take a break. i understand that, to anticipate what sunny's going to say. >> you can't anticipate what i'm going to say. >> he's traumatized. maybe it didn't resonate with the judge emotionally, but if you see somebody there who's listening to the pathologist and has that kind of a visceral reaction, you can't help but be affected. >> you don't buy the throwing up? >> i don't buy it, either he deserves an academy award or he's off. either way it doesn't work for him. >> or he was physically ill and emotionally upset by this -- >> which means he's volatile. >> you're saying someone who threw up because of the

pathologist's testimony, that means he's volatile? >> exactly. someone who couldn't sit in the courtroom and listen to testimony, that to me, if i'm the judge, i'm thinking either this guy deserves an award for his performance or there's something off about him and i think it's not helpful -- >> or option number three, that he's -- >> there is no option number three. >> he feels an immense amount of guilt. >> sunny interprets that as being off. >> she interprets that as off. >> emotionally unstable. >> could you imagine if there was someone you loved and you had -- accept for a second that what he's saying is true, he thought it was an intruder, he's behind gates. he's vulnerable because he's had his legs amputated. how bad would you feel? >> it's almost impossible to judge someone based on how they are acting or reacting in a

courtroom, there have been many cases where people say, the person's not emotional, and therefore they must be hiding something, they must be guilty. >> we can't read too much into it, let's look at some of the facts. the reason her injuries were so egregious, is because he used these hollow point bullets that are designed to sort of blow out from the inside. who does that? and i think in terms of someone -- >> well, someone who doesn't have legs. >> someone who wants to inflict that kind of damage. when you look at the charges and you're looking at premeditation, perhaps he gets away with premeditation, but culpable homicide -- >> first of all, in south africa especially in johannesburg it's not all that atypical to have a gun in the house. >> not necessarily with the bullets that were outlawed and then we're talking about someone who's shooting into a locked bathroom door is incapable of

perceiving the threat behind the door. >> for you, the main question is, if he didn't know it was his girlfriend in the bathroom. he got out of the bed allegedly he's sleeping next to her. >> who does that? you turn to the person that you love next to you and say, did you hear that? we know from the testimony of his ex-girlfriend he had the same exact situation, and he turned to her and said, did you hear that? he didn't seem to do that this time. >> how does the fact that it's not a jury trial, which they don't have in south africa. a lot of times you think things boil down to jury selection. >> that's the wild card in this case. the judge and when you get a -- when you have to have a bench trial. here in the u.s., there are certain misdemeanors where you don't get a jury. it's the biggest determination. it's a crap shoot. you never know how the judge is going to rule. in a case like this that is so emotional, you have someone who

is famous and would normally in front of a jury get a presumption of innocence. they don't get that. >> mark and sunny will be back at 10:30 eastern time talking about making the case. they don't often agree on legal issues, we look forward to that, 10:30 tonight. new proof, that russia does have troops in crimea, as if you needs more proof. signs, warnings of land mines, what our cnn crew found and what they were not allowed to do, in a dangerous situation on the ground. also ahead, george zimmerman signing autographs at a gun show, details ahead. fight back fast with tums. heartburn relief that neutralizes acid on contact and goes to work in seconds. ♪ tum, tum tum tum tums!
