us on twitter. you can tweet the show. in the meantime thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in washington. we'll see you back here tomorrow erin burnett outfront starts right now. new details on missing malaysian airlines flight 370 could the pilots political ties be a factor in why the plane is gone. one of the craziest theories yet on how the plane stayed hidden from radar and hear from a partner of an american on board the jet. why she believes her soul mate might still be alive. let's go outfront. good evening. i'm erin burnett. new information on the pilot of missing flight 370 and major questions about his political ties. malays

malaysia's opposition leader says the pilot shah is a member of the organization. this raised questions about whether the incident is political. you are going to hear from her in a moment. first i wanted to go tloou rr the other big developments. we have a video posted to youtube showing the pilot and co-pilot going through security at the kuala lumpur airport. obviously this video looks completely real but we have not confirmed independently the authen tisity or the date of the video. the u.s. has scaled back role in the search. the u.s.s. kidd is leaving the

search all together. i know you had a chance to speak to this opposition leader. >> reporter: well, i can tell you is that there is a lot of scrutiny happening here inside malaysia and outside the country about the pilot and his political beliefs. some 2 million square miles, 26 countries searching, still no sign of the missing malaysian airlines plane. slow drip of information continued. they did reverse a timeline before the plane vanished. malaysia airlines says it is not sure for the transponder and tracking system was shut off before or after the final voice transmission from the plane. the voice said all right, good night. >> the initial investigation indicates that it was the co

pilot who basically spoke the last time it was recorded on tape. >> the co-pilott and not the pilot. investigators focus on what happened in the cockpit more scrutiny on political ties. friends say he is a loving father of three but public supporter of opposition leader. anwar is a thorn in the ruling party's side and attended pro-democracy rallies and meetings. just hours before malaysia airlines flight 370 took off a court of appeals ordered anwar to prison on charges of sotomy.

anwar accuses political opponents of feeding that story to reporters. >> what does this say that the government in your opinion is throwing out this narrative? >> i think it is to deflect. the whole focus is on them. they feel every count. here is the first time you have a leader of a country not willing to answer questions. i think because of that they are now desperate to count suspicions against me as leader of the opposition. >> reporter: so far there is no evidence to tie the plane's disappearance to the pilot or his politics. we could not reach the malaysian government for comment on this. we have been trying to reach the malaysian government but have not been able to have the response directly. >> and obviously you had a chance to talk to anwar.

have any of his supporters in the past been involved in terror? >> reporter: not that we are aware of. it is something that has been floating out there. this is really about local politics. that is what it comes down to according to what anwar is saying, that the government is fleeing the accusations out because they botched the investigation so poorly. this group is a political party here in malaysia. he says what it has come down to like you see in washington, the fight between democrats and republicans and trying to get one ahead of the other. >> i want to bring in seth jones, associate director of international security and defense center. you know a lot about this part of the world and talking to sources. you just heard reporting that the opposition party leader saying to blame this incident on

that is just pure politics, ruling party of malaysia trying to fling mud. what do you hear when you hear that? >> i think right now there is very little evidence right now that the pilot would have been or even was motivated to down an airline because of that. he likely was upset at the verdict that had just been announced several hours before he boarded the aircraft, but to down an airline because of that i think at this point is pure conjecture. again, i would take any of the accusations with a huge grain of salt that we have no evidence right now to support that. >> and i know you have been talking to your sources in the region. one thing i was curious about the other day is what it is like in terms of security on a malaysian airline. we looked at regulations for mu lash issued in 1986. it may imply the carrier may but doesn't have to bolt the cockpit door. that is just one example.

what does this say to you when you are looking at pilots being involved or a passenger being involved? >> i think the biggest issue here and one of the issues that is most concerning to me is somebody who looks at terrorism in militant groups is how poor the malaysian security effort has been. i would just note a couple of things. one is very few items going on cargo of aircraft are security. that included this particular aircraft in malaysia from special branch. second, the passport scanning system in general we found it with individuals both those individuals used italian and austrian passports, they were able to get access to that airline with fake passports because of holes in the biometric security. one major issue is huge

loopholes in the security apparatus in countries like malaysia. >> pretty incredible. you are saying your sources are saying the cargo was not screened on this particular flight. are there terror groups that would have had motive? it does come down to motive to do anything with this airliner. >> well, there are organizations that operate out of this region. the islamic movement that has conducted attacks against the chinese. that is where this airline was headed. there are groups that conducted attacks like areas like indonesia and philippines. those groups indicated willingness in the past to hijack airlines. one issue that is troubling here is there has been almost no indication from any group that they are responsible for this. groups generally take responsibility for this. no one has done this yet. >> outfront next the question

about pilots. are they properly screened? one 777 pilot tells us it is up to pilots to talk about what could be going wrong. and the plane remained in the air for hours after disappearing from radar. how could it go undetected. >> if someone tried to take over your flight would you know about it and would you act? we will hear from the man who took down shoe bomber richard reid.

american and malaysian officials say flight 370 veered offcourse after a deliberate action by somebody in the cockpit. i use that word on purpose, somebody. that could have been a pilot inside the cockpit or a pilot inside the plane who had training or somebody else. investigators are focused on the actual pilots of 370. what do we know about them? >> reporter: they are a focus of the investigation, their homes searched but so far no evidence in the back grounds of the pilots to suggest any wrong doing. still malaysia airlines ceo says everyone in the cockpit undergoes extreme psychological tests. >> we will see whether we can strengthen, tighten the entry. >> reporter: current and former pilots tell us the level of psychological screening for

pilots depends on their airline and its governing body. 777 pilot says his airline asks questions about his personality. >> do you like your mother? do you hate your father? things of that nature. have you harmed a small animal. >> reporter: some airlines interview pilot's friends. he says many u.s. based airlines go above and beyond what is required by the government. the faa has strict rules saying pilots have to get psychological screening as part of the medical exam. they can't fly if they have bipolar disorder or similar problems. some pilots say medical screeners don't always ask about psychological issues. >> if he or she doesn't self-report what happens? >> if you don't self report it is going unnoticed. typically what happens is if you

have an issue, one of your crew members might recognize something like that. >> do the airlines check on pilots to see if anything has come up that might cause concern, financial problems, maybe worrisome illness? >> the short answer is no. not until it affects your job performance or miss a trip for a particular reason. >> says if airlines started to check on pilots like that then privacy concerns would be raised. i want to bring in private pilot, aviation journalist. you were saying the sheer number of pilots out there. you get on a plane. we all put an inherent basic trust in the pilot literally with our lives in what is one of the most terrifying experiences. if one of the malaysian pilots is responsible, how terrifying is that?

>> if we are worried about terrorism, terrorism isn't really about destroying planes or buildings trust, the bed rock of the entire system. if you look back at sea captains in the 19th century they were the law aboard the ship. if you start to distrust the captain of an airplane you are distropical storming the entire system. this could be a game changing on par with 9/11 in terms of casting doubt and forcing us to re-assess and question. >> according to the regulations, 1996 was the last time those were revised for malaysia airlines. but that would mean anybody could have gotten in. it is to your point much scarier if the reality is it was on the

other side of the door. >> i talked to a 777 pilot who flies for american. he was saying there is a key code you can use to get in but also a dead bolt, a piece of metal that the pilot can use the exclude the rest of the world from the cockpit. and after this, we doen't know what is going to happen but enough has occurred to make us doubt that we can trust all airline pilots the way we did before. and that maybe we have to take away the dead bolt from the inside of the door. >> it is pretty shocking. i want to emphasize your view you don't think it was these pilots? >> the story is still unfolding. we don't have the data. as a gut level feeling i think that whoever did what they did based on the radar tracks had to know a lot about aviation and were clever about how they slipped out of radar. nobody had talked about this

scenario before. they invented it. they took us through their own creativity, dark though it may be. we appreciate it. the big question is whether whether the pilot of this plane's flight simulator at home was a part of the story. he had a very sophisticated one. how central to the story is that. we hear from the partner philip wood. his partner still believes he is alive. >> i genuinely feel his presence. i don't believe he has left us left. it's a growing trend in business: do more with less with less energy. hp is helping ups do just that. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance,

using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind.

. for the families of flight 370 the wait for news about their loved ones is agonizing, clinging to every twist and development, so many of them contradictory, hoping that a miracle is possible. this is what a long time partner of philip wood believes. she speaks about the man she calls her soul mate and the painful moment she realized he was on board flight 370. >> my stomach just crashes. and then immediate disbelief

like can't be. it's got to be some practical joke. and then it stayed missing and it stayed missing. and no sign of crash. no evidence of anything going on. and within -- by the night, by 12 hours disbelief started to set in like this can't be happening, it's surreal. >> david, you spoke to sarah about why she believes there is a chance that her partner is still alive. what did she say? >> reporter: she saidt that she feels his physical presence. and then, also, she feels that logically looking at the evidence as she sees it he has to be out there somewhere still alive even as the days stretch on. philip and sarah were due to move together to kuala lumpur. even the packing boxes behind her there in the interview, they were going to start a a new life together and start a fresh start

in another country. they were so excited about it. the movers were even coming on the day that that plane went missing. she says she believes he is alive no matter what people say to her. >> the impossible already happened once and can happen again. i have had several people try to council me to say you are being a little unrealistic. the odds are not in your favor. i know that. i'm not an unrealistic person. i'm pretty grounded in reality. i'm not ready to give up. until there is conclusive proof to tell me there is no hope i will continue to move forward even if there is 0.1% chance i will cling to that. it is not being unrealistic. it is looking forward. i genuinely feel his presence. i don't believe he has left us yet. >> well, you know, one very

poignant detail is she has a bag packed with items of hers and clothing for philip and says wherever he is out there he will want fresh clothes and will want to look good when he comes back and we start our life together in malaysia. she honestly believes it, says she was a fan of sherlock homes and is trying to solve her way out of this problem. >> just you talking about that i'm sure it gives people chills. anyone would have that hope against hopet that there is still a miracle here that could happen. she was so poised in talking to you. i know you had a chance to talk to a lot of families because so many of the passengers there were coming back to beijing, many of them were chinese. are there a lot of them that share this belief and this hope? >> reporter: yes, i would have

to say that everyone that i have spoken to believes there is a chance that their loved one is alive. of course, it is human nature you are not going to give up hope unless it is absolutely extinguished for you. otherwise it would not be human. a lot of people believe the plane is hijacked and sitting in a desert somewhere and waiting for the call on their cell phone. of course, as time ticks by and no one claims responsibility and all of the things we have all been talking about it seems less and less likely from a logical standpoint. we are not logical. we want to believe there is hope out there and that that person is going to walk through the door one day. until that 100% as sarah mentioned, 0.01% chance that is not going to happen you are going to believe that because that is the only option to keep going. >> thank you very much. appreciate your time. that was a great interview with

sarah. still to come, what would you do if someone tried to take over your flight. the man who took down shoe bomber is outfront. what was flight 370 like for those on board with the pieces of information we have now about altitude shifts and plunging and surging? what was it like for the passengers? we are going to show you. so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 a month? yup. all 5 of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line, anytime, for $15 a month. low dues, great terms. let's close! new at&t mobile share value plans our best value plans ever for business.

tonight a potential lead in the mystery of missing malaysian airlines flight 370. malaysian police seized the device from the captain's home over the weekend. with officials zeroing in on pilots the data could be essential in the investigation. you must be doing something you are not supposed to do. what could we potentially learn from the flight simulator? if he was testing it would sudden altitude shifts show up and be able to tell afterwards? >> the computer which is the simulator is the memory. and the memory may contain

everything that could have been a plan. we have to point out there is no proof that the pilot was implicated in this. if he were he could look at something like this, the route. was there a route that he was using or planning. was it something that took him across the northern pakistan region or the indian ocean. something else is the ability to take a sudden dissent. if we try to put the plane down, get it low to the ground, even drop the landing gear, all of this would be somehow monitored by the flight simulator. it is all going to be in there. whatever happened to the aircraft, this could be the only surviving memory. and you could play it back. you could begin to see what was the intent of the flight plan. now, again, there is no way to measure exactly whether this was

really what was going to happen to flight 370 but it could be the first real clues and the only living memory that may exist at this particular time. it is all locked inside the aircraft. everything from the sharp turns that may have been made or the sharp descents or the plans to go to 35,000 feet or the plans to plummett down to 22,000 feet all of which has been reported, all of which may be contained inside of the brain of the simulator. >> and it is interesting youg use the words brain of the simulator -- i think it's amazing how you have the mountains you get a feeling that you are in a plane. sometimes when you are in the dark night over the ocean it is hard to get the feelings you must be experiencing.

can you aserr ascertained what have happened to the passengers? as high as 45,000 feet down to 32,000 feet, the sharp turns, what would passengers have experienced? >> no way the simulator would recordt that kind of information. that kind of data is not necessary for a pilot routinely to practice any kind of flight. there are instruments that might tell you the temperature in the back of the cabin or might show you the aircraft wing surfaces itself. as far as the impact on the passengers themselves, the physical impact on a person, none of that is really reflected inside of the simulator. it was never meant to show that. >> and you are obviously sitting there with someone who is very experienced. let's just say that things happen the way we understand they happen now. there are sharp turns, some

pre-programmed. at least one reportedly. and then the dramatic changes in altitude. and then there is the sort of perfect flying from radar point to radar point. how much training would a pilot need to be able to execute all of that? >> well, one of the things that they will point out to you is the 777 is a highly sophisticated aircraft. it does want input from the pilot from time to time. this plane can land on its own and can navigate for hours on end on its own. however, when you get down flying in mountains like this auto pilot will not be able to [ inaudible ] that will come down to a human being and requires certain and specific skills. somebody with a lot of flying experience. >> thank you very much.

>> what do you make of this crucial detail which is that the pilot had the flight simulator,

had this home built flight simulator in his home. does this make you less likely to think it was a hijacking or the pilot or not? >> well, again, from the very beginning i thought it was a hostile take over of the airplane. it was a hostile takeover of the aircraft. the fact that the pilot had the flight simulator in his own home, it is important to go back and take a look and see if you can recover some of the data to see if input programst about where you might want to land or how it would effect the airplane flying at 45,000 feet down to 25,000 feet, perhaps they practiced it perhaps they didn't. i don't want to overemphasize the fact that the pilot had a simulator. i said in the past and will say it again. a number of my friends have flight simulators at home

perhaps not as extensive or eelaborate. >> because they love to flyt that much or always practicing but not out of the ordinary. >> absolutely. they love flying and want to hone their skills. >> you have been on a plane when it almost went down. i was asking if there was a way you would be able to figure out what it was like for passengers and he was like it doesn't give you that ability. in your case everyone keeps talking about the red eye and then things start happening. do they feel it turn and know what happens. you have been on a plane when somebody tried to bring it down. in your case it clearly was terrorism. you were one of the ones who helped subdue the shoe bomber. when did you know something was wrong on your flight? >> i was traveling back from paris to miami. there was actually an exchange student next to me who started screaming like we were on a roller coaster. i realized something was

dramatically wrong. >> how much time did you have to react? >> well, our flight attendant initially came. once we heard screams the flight attendant said can you help me. i didn't know what kind of help i could give her. she seeped so panicked and dramatic i realized it was serious. >> when you think about what he is saying and what happened on the plane are you surprised at all that the passengers, if it wasn't something that initiated inside the cockpit that the passengers didn't somehow get more involved in a way that we are not yet aware of? >> i'm not. kwame's experience is somewhat unusual in that he was able to get involved, that he was asked to be involved. most folks on flights like this

completely damour their deiffer indiffer -- crew. in a case like this clearly you would love to see folks raise a hand and get involved very, very quickly. it is the rare occasion that that happens. >> i would like to say something. >> go ahead. >> i would like to give credit to christina and her means, the flight attendants for their braver. i would not have had a chance to act if the flight crew and the right makeup of passengers of that flight. it was a group of passengers. they were the quarterbacks. we were the line men or the wide receivers. we had the right people at the right time. >> plenty of credit to go around. >> what about the point that he

makes not just other passengers but flight attendants. in this case we don't know because of the sudden silence of the plane, something could have happened when the plane went dark. is it safe to say the passengers and crew not in the cockpit would have known something was wrong? not only did it turn directions but the sudden altitude shifts. >> no question about that. i tend to disagree. i guess there is a bit of a question mark. on a few flights here in the united states we have had a southwest airlines plane, united airlines where somebody tried to breach the cockpit. passengers really did come forth to try to subdue that with the aid of the crew. now, crew members are given instructions in security courses from their airlines in some self defense and how to protect the aircraft from threat situations on board an airplane.

>> and are there terror groups that would want to take down this plane? are there terror groups? this was your area of expertise, that would want to take down this jet? >> let's be frank with everybody. there are over 230 muslims in this part of the world, radical islam recruits. this is a recruiting hot bed. we have certainly seen terrorism come out of this part of the world. we haven't spoken about that yet. i guarantee you we may be able to uncover that. i'm not suggesting that is the situation but to answer bluntly, yes, there are groups that would love this opportunity and might have taken advantage of it. remains to be seen. >> is it safe to say when you fly you are always looking? >> i fly quite a bit so i put everything on fate. i am here because of god. i have a second chance. i'm definitely a more diligent

as everyone should be. anyone who flies a lot now should definitely pay attention to their surroundings. >> thanks to all of you. how did flight 370 fly for hours without being detected by radar? that is the crucial question here. there is a new and this might be actually probably is the strangest theory yet and involves another plane. we will explain. the last words heard from the cockpit of the missing jet were all right, good night.

and let's check in withander on what is coming up. >> we are spending an hour on the newest and latest developments. who turned off the plane's electronic data reporting system. 360 uncovered a panoramic view of how sophisticated it is and how complicated it is to access and disable that system. the latest on where the new information is leading the hunt for the plane. we talk to commander william marks who is part of the search and changes in the search parameters.

also experts in every aspect of this. a lot more at the top of the hour. as we speak search crews from 26 countries are scouring the ocean and land for any trace of the plane because there is still the possibility that the plane landed. that is the possibility that the families are clinging to. one of the places could be an island in the indian ocean. tom foreman is outfront. it is incredibly unlikely but it is possible because there are still so many questions. if the plane took the southern path which is what intelligence officials are telling cnn it likely did, where could it land practically and undetected? >> those are really tough parameters. we know point of reference where the plane took off, flew for a little less than an hour. since then we have watched all

of the search areas show up. most of them have involved a lot more places where the plane can't land than where it can. when you talk about the northern route and southern route as defined by satellite images the southern route is problematic. are there places it can land in striking distance. we know that there is an airport that could handle it. we go to google earth image and fly in. you can see that this airport was refurbished after the asieh namd namdar -- after the tsunami. however, place that can support a place with a run way like that has a lot of witnesses, a lot of people who have something to say because you know what is beyond places and maybe far western parts, this, an awful lot of water. there are very small islands but

almost nothing that has the minimum requirements for a plane like this, a 4,000 foot run way to land and 6,000 foot run way to take off and some kind of support service. if you don't have that you have >> i don't know if it's the craziest one but it's a wild possibility that people have talked about. here's the theory behind it. let's say that the plane comes along and gets rid of all of its signals. it's not transmitting any data about itself. and then it slips in behind another plane that is flying perfectly legitimately. the second plane is sending out all of its signals like it should to tell all the towers what it is. meanwhile this plane is flying along in its radar shadow, as they call it. the radar shadow, it doesn't show up as a separate thing. together they show up as one dot on the radar. u.s. officials were asked about this. they basically say they think the dot would be a little bit

too big and would attract the attention of controllers and that this wouldn't be done or couldn't be done. other pilots have said it would be very difficult to do, but under the circumstances they say you have to look at all possibilities and maybe in all that traffic in the asian skies, nobody would notice. erin. >> all right, tom, thank you very much. i guess the big question is since nobody can understand a motive, it's almost impossible to understand what happened. all right, good night. those are the final words malaysian officials now say were said. they believe those were said by the co-pilot, the 27-year-old man who was heard saying those words from the cockpit on flight 370. it was a casual farewell to air control. didn't keep in the normal words you might have used in that to hand it off, but it was late at night, early in the morning. they said perhaps you would be that casual, it might suggest everything was normal on that jet before it vanished. jeanne moos is out front with more on that final message that will forever be tied to the

disappearance of flight 370. >> reporter: there are famous good-byes. >> god speed, john glenn. >> and famous sign-offs. >> good night and good luck. >> reporter: but when luck turned bad on malaysia flight 370, you got -- >> those four words, all right, good night. >> reporter: a phrase that's been echoing around the globe. >> all right, good night. >> all right, good night. >> there would be an all right, good night. >> all right, good night is a game changer. >> reporter: will "all right, good night" end up in a recreation as amelia earhart's last radio message did, her fuel almost gone. she was trying to tell rescuers exactly where she was in her last transmission. >> we are on the 157. >> reporter: the malaysian flight seemed to be hiding. earhart's plane still hasn't been recovered. back in the titanic sank the final messages were sent by morse code. the operator refused to leave his post, left out of the movie

"titanic." >> come on, let's clear out. we've done our duty. >> i'm not going. >> reporter: he went down with the ship after sending out a distress message, come quick. engine room nearly full. the most famous last transmissions came when cameras trained on re-entry and lift-off. >> challenger go with throttle up. >> reporter: nasa's transcript attributed an uh-oh to the challenger's pilot that we weren't able to hear. and then there was the columbia space shuttle burning up during re-entry. >> it's a bright orange yellow. >> reporter: this interchange with mission control was their last. >> and columbia, houston, we see your tire pressure messages and we did not copy your last. >> roger that. >> reporter: then static. sometimes it's not the last words that are so eerie, it's the silence after them. >> columbia houston, uhf com
