>> as we have reported, the search suspended tonight in the hopes that tomorrow we'll start to get some answers on whether the plane is there, and then the big question, why? thanks so much for watching, anderson cooper continues our coverage right now. good evening, everyone. thanks for joining us. the breaking news tonight a big set back, the sun now up over the wreckage. there is late word that bad weather has halted the search, weather that could turn conditions hostile, as you can see in this video from a few years back. it gives you a sense of how rough these waves can be. big kink in an effort to confirm or disprove the sighting of debris.

malaysian authorities will once again be speaking to the public. the news conference expected at 12:30 p.m. local time here, 12:30 a.m. here tuesday morning, about 4:and a half hours from now. we will bring that to you live, we'll be live on the air for that. it comes after a harrowing 24 hours for the families of the 239 people on board, we were told first by text message, and then by malaysia's prime minister that the time for hope is over, as you know, in china, many erupted in anger at the news they were gathered together in a hotel room, there were cameras and maybe you've seen the images throughout the day. we're not going to show you that video of grieving people, we know what grief looks like. in respect for their privacy, we don't think it's appropriate. a company went in to analyze the prime minister's conclusion. how the company came to this

conclusi conclusion. we'll cover new ground on possible causes, including a very scary look at flammable cargo that was on board. flight 370 was carrying a quarter ton of flammable materials. today's search has been called off, are conditions expected to improve? and does that mean? ships even have left the search area? >> reporter: you're absolutely right, the ship has left the area, the weather not expected to improve today. what they're seeing, high winds, exceptionally high winds, dangerous conditions. it is simply too dangerous to sear search. after 17 days of hope and anguish, this is not the news families were waiting to hear. >> deep sadness and regret that i must inform you live image 370

ended in a sudden indian ocean. >> reporter: the prime minister saying based on new information from the satellite company, the 777 went down west of perth, austral australia, nowhere near any possible landing site. malaysian airlines sent this text message to the families. we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that mh 370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived. some families want evidence that the plane went down. >> i don't know why i just want to see some debris off the aircraft and the black box, to know what exactly happened, there are too many unanswered questions. >> reporter: china's government demanding malaysia share all information and evidence. while frustrated relatives released a statement. saying the malaysian government

and malaysian military inputting off, holding back and covering up the truth of the incident as well as trying to deceive the families of passengers and people of the entire world. while there's no evidence of a cover-up, there is -- the next in question of just what did take down the airplane. there are new questions about the experience of co pilot hameed fareed. this was his first flight on a 777 without a supervisor. in line with company policy. and new details about the flight's path, a source close to the investigation tells cnn that military radar tracking shows the plane flew as low as 12,000 feet, at some point before it disappeared from radar. as the search continues in the south indian ocean, new signs of hope for locating the wreckage. >> we're looking for debris in the water. we saw a number of objects

beneath the surface. visually -- >> crew members on board an australian aircraft report spotting two objects, one gray or green in color, and the other orange. chinese aircraft spotted two different large floating objects and several smaller white ones dispersed over several kilometers, finding those objects continues to be challenging at best. the search area has narrowed, but it's still 600,000 square kilometers wide. >> for everybody, the fact that the search has been suspended today is just so frustrating, there was so much momentum obviously, given all the reports that have been occurring all weekend about the possible debris being cited, they must be hoping today would have been productive. >> they have to be disappointed. we haven't been able to hear back from the u.s. team, because they're getting a down day today, trying to catch some sleep, but certainly, what all

of the search teams have been telling us is that they want to give these families closure, they want to be able to give them a peace, bring them that proof. certainly it is one thing to hear from the malaysian government that it is over, it's an entirely different thing to have the evidence that it actually is. anderson in. >> thanks for the reporting. as we speak, the u.s. navy is said to be sending the world's best hearing aid, listening for the underwater sounds coming from the boxes until the batteries run out which is two weeks from now. narrowing down their location could come from the pings of the satellites. let's dig deeper now with chris mcglocklin at marseilles. >> reporter: the malaysian government made the announcement today that the plane went down in the indian ocean.

how confidence is the company that that is what happened to 370 that it ended in the water. >> very reluctantly, we've been looking at the ping data for the last six or serven days, comparing it with other malaysian airlines, triple 777 in the region and looking at the flight data we can get from the pings. we mapped those pings against the southern and northern route. i can say there's a strong correlation with the southern route, and absolutely no correlation with the north, that it went south. >> you can rule out that northern route? >> yes. >> can you say, though, that with 100% certainty, that the plane ended up in the water? >> we have to bow to the honors that the investigation team has. we can say that we saw the plane in a number of pings to the

network, the period of hours cone sides with the amount of time the malaysians say it was fueled up for, and that would tie in with some seven pings or communications, if you like, from the last known one through to the plane possibly running out of fuel. at which case it would have been over the southern indian ocean. >> i don't know how to ask this, or how you can answer it. is all the information you've given the malaysians, has that all been stated publicly or is there other information or other data you shared with them, that would make them lead to this conclusion in a way that you're not able to say. >> no, we're holding nothing back. we've been open with the investigation from the outset from within the first few hours of it going missing to coming up on the 11th with the concept of the north south route and to the

investigation and further thoughts yesterday, we shared everything that we have, there's no data that we're keeping back. >> i think a lot of people didn't realize until this, that it's quite common for planes to disappear in a sense from radar, when it's over large bodies of water, it's up to the pilots at a certain point to communicate their location. is there a technology that could change that? >> yeah, there's no question, we could do it now, there are 10,000 wide bodied jets fitted with the same system that was on board this malaysian airline. it's a 64 kilo bits system capable of sending out text based messages with the zeta where the plane is, what speed it's going at, what direction it's going in and anything else you want to, included in the packets of data. other systems that is being looked at, allows up to half a mega bit, the same as a cnn journalist would use to report back from a front line story somewhere, that could allow more

streaming of data. the systems are there and they're available today. >> that's a question of what airlines are deciding to use them? or governments deciding to use them? whose decision is that? >> the decision is regulatorreg. there are so many aircraft up there, it's not mandated for the rest of the world, perhaps it should be, since it's five years since air france was lost, perhaps it's time to say that it's incomprehensible that a commercial airline could go missing for six or seven hours. had we have automated position as we do with ships at sea, we would have known certainly within 15 to 20 minutes of the plane being lost where it was. >> appreciate you talking to us today, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> we want to bring in our panel who have been with us for the last several weeks and throughout the hour tonight and also in our 11:00 hour we're

going to go from 11:00 to 1:00 a.m. covering the press conference. david gallo, co leader of the search for air france flight 447. director of the special projects. also with us, former department of transportation general mary schiavo. mary, you've been involved in a lot of investigations, if you had this data, but you were told it's not 100% accurate, would you tell family members and passengers that their relatives were dead? all souls were lost? >> i wouldn't tell them, i would let them draw the conclusion, i would definitely tell them data, if i was running the investigation, i would tell them every piece of data i had, because that's what we want. they want to know and they want to draw their own conclusions. tell me the facts and we'll figure out how to deal with it. >> tell me about the toad pinger locater devices that are being brought in for the u.s. navy.

for that do you have to have a specific area to listen for? >> well, anderson on paper they're pretty good, and you can hear them over a long range. in practice i think the oceans can play a lot of games with sound. you can hide a military submarine and not hear it with the best sonar. i think the sound is -- the pings are affected by topography, thermal layers, you have to be in the right place at the right time for them to be truly effective. but you have to try. >> you talked to people in marseilles, how confident are you in the data that they released? >> i spoke with them. they have a little more technical explanation. and i can talk to that if you'd like me to. >> sure. >> what they've done is -- i'm really very impressed with what the scientists were able to pull off here, it's not designed to

do this. they were comparing other malaysian flights against this flight to compare it, what they're comparing is, the amount of time it takes to make the connection and send a specific bit of data or number of bits of data at a certain rate. as the aircraft approaches the center point of that, of the satellite, that time period gets shorter and shorter and shorter, as you can imagine. as the aircraft goes away from the center, it becomes longer and longer again. using that data, there's a thing called the spot -- i think it's called -- what do you call it, the spot beam system, and then the spot beam system, almost like a cell phone, goes from different region to different region, they're able to take the combination of that data, and where these spot beams were, and make those -- a map and a track of where the aircraft could have gone. >> all along you said that you believed maybe this was sort of electrical fire, some sort of incident on board the flight. >> i'm not going to totally

eliminate that anderson, i'm still -- there's pieces of the puzzle that are baffling to me. this is above my pay grade as far as being a pilot is concerned with reference to the data. have you to take it as gospel. you have some really smart folks. >> there's obviously still so much we do not know, so many pieces of this that are yet to be filled in? >> yeah, the conflicting data, way back last week, we got the airplane climbing to 45,000 feet above its surface ceiling. going different levels. now the other night, we got it descending to 12,000 feet. i'm not -- so if it was at 12,000 feet, my problem is, if it remained at that altitude, it's going to be double the fuel consumption. >> right, it can't have remained -- if it did go down at 12,000 feet, it would have burned through fuel at such a great rate it couldn't have

reached the distance that marseilles is saying. >> exactly. t >> the debris that was spotted over the weekend, on one hand you can look at this as hopeful, one is circular, there's also a lot of junk floating around in the ocean, a lot of debris? >> that's true, but the fact that it was colors, some of them were colors of the plane. it's certainly better than the standard rectangular ones that are the size of shipping containers off of ships. the circular one, again, it's a color of the emergency slide exits and the rafts that are in the ceiling of the plane. so that's why people are hopeful it was a brightly colored object that we know are on planes. whether it was on this plane or not, who knows. >> and, of course, if it is the raft, that brings the question elt -- david gallo way, we know now whether it's a major issue for tuesday's search.

it's 8:15 on the east coast in the united states, it's 8:15 in the morning in perth. the search has been called off for the day. when they resume the search, the ocean floor, how difficult is that to deal with? still they're searching on the surface of the water, once they bring in these devises for under the water, how difficult is this kind of -- >> anderson, if it's in the same place that they've been searching in the past, then the sea floor there is well known to oceanographers. it's an east/west trending volcanic range. we had the rocky mountains here, something like the blue ridge mountains, much more gentle. not intimidated by the topography at all. it's the seas above it, the storms, the winds that are going to make working there very difficult. >> another question i want to ask, i want to be consider at in how i ask it, it involves what happened on air france to the people on board that aircraft. when that plane hit the water?

people were still alive, correct? >> there's some bit about the medical examiner in brazil said that some of the passengers may have survived the crash itself. and survived the impact, but drowned, but he said that they're more than likely unconscious. what a horrific thing, but so be it. >> appreciate it. we're going to take a short break, you can follow me on twitter@andersoncooper. coming up next, dealing with the anguish of families getting the worst possible news today. i'm going to talk to the brother of one of the missing americans, someone who wants to speak out about his brother. later, more breaking news, we're going to take you to washington state where acres of earth simply gave way. the death toll has arisen tonight. the number of people unaccounted for. mine was earned in korea in 1953.

we are expecting to hear more shortly from the malaysian officials. the search in the air and sea have been called off due to dangerous conditions. as we mentioned at the top, a committee representing some of the families of the missing 150 chinese and taiwanese issued a statement accusing malaysian authorities of a deliberate cover-up. we're not showing videos or pictures of grieving families. three americans are among the missing, one is phillip wood, an ibm executive who was heading back to beijing one last time before taking up a new assignment in kuala lumpur.

how are you dealing with all this? >> well, when i got the information this morning, i was thinking we had something very definitive, i did, and now that the day's gone on, it's almost felt like a miniature roller coaster within the day. i'm hopeful and i'm very hopeful they're going to find something very soon. >> when you heard that the malaysian prime minister was going to give a press conference, you expected there would be more absolute information? more concrete? >> sure. yeah, i really thought that someone had already put eyes on the water and found something when they made a statement that was so definitive. that's a bold statement to make without having an actual piece of information to -- a tangible piece of evidence. >> you told one of our producers something that struck me.

you said you told your wife that you want to be able to say hello to your brother or good-bye to your brother and you haven't been able to do either? >> i can't. i've been struggling with a lot of anxiety the last week, because that holding pattern we're in, we're waiting and waiting, and not getting any answers one way or the other. >> you have been speaking out, a number of families have chosen not to. in a situation like this, it's a personal decision and a difficult decision, and i never in anyway want to pressure anybody to speak. what do you want people to know. what do you want people, you've talked about your brother a little bit, i enjoyed hearing about him, you described him as a deep thinker one minute, he could also be a very funny guy, the next. you've also spoken a lot about your faith and how that is getting you through. >> i want people to know that, look, we're all human and we all hurt, we all struggle through

things, i'm not the first one to go through something like this, i'm certainly not going to be the last one. but, you know -- i don't like being trite when i say my faith is getting me through this, it sounds cliche to say it. it's a hope that we have that this is not the end of all things. no matter what the outcome, no matter how this turns out, whether it's for good or ill, i believe in heaven, to be quite frank about it. >> and i understand that there's a passage that your father cited to you that has given you some strength? >> it has. psalms 46:10 says, be still and know that i am god. >> and it's hard to do right now. >> to you, the power of that is what, what is the message of that to you? >> i'm sitting here in oklahoma

city far, far away from everything that's going on, and i have no control over this situation. but what i do believe is that god's in control, it doesn't necessarily mean my answer is going to be a good one that i like. but he's got this. someone that's gotten forgotten in all of this is my sister. and i -- the reason why i want to talk about her is because her and my brother are so close in age. >> they were 22 months apart? >> yes, yes. she's just -- they grew up together. a lot of media reports have talked about his brothers and it's not just his brothers, it's also our sister, paige. >> well, i appreciate you telling us about her. it's important for people to know all those in pain right now, and in need of thoughts and prayers. i appreciate you talking to us,

james. >> thanks, anderson. just ahead, martin savidge joins us. what investigators themselves are trying to piece together. we're going to draw down some new information about the at toot of flight 370. plus, we're going to look at lithium batteries. they brought down a plane in dubai. could that be a part of this mystery? nice morning, scott? aye, or...a mornin' of tiny voices crying out, "feed us -- we've awakened from our long winter's nap and we're peckish to the point of starvin'"!! i don't understand... your grass, man! it's a living, breathing thing. it's hungry, and you've got to feed it with scotts turf builder. that a boy, mikey! two feedings now...in the springtime strengthens and helps protect your lawn from future problems.

welcome back, tonight's breaking news, the set back in the search for flight 370, it's been called off due to bad weather. this stretch of ocean is known for its brutal conditions. this video was taken last year in a yacht race. it shows you how rough the conditions can be, what it's

like for ships in the region. gyrating currents make it treacherous, it would make it hard to find a more challenging place to search. continue the search.d to - authorities are expected to give a news conference at 12:30 p.m. in kuala lumpur, that's 12:30 a.m. here. today families on board flight 370 got the word they were dreading first in a text, then from malaysia's prime minister. new information shows the 777 went down in the indian ocean. we want to drill down on that piece of information that's surfaced. it dipped as low as 12,000 feet after making a left turn on the south china sea. we're back in the flight simulator tonight. richard quest also joins me,

this new information from a source about the plane dipping to 12,000 feet which as i said, a source is telling cnn has not been officially verified. would there be any reason for the plane to dip that low? when we first heard of a turn we were thinking this seems like an emergency scenario. say air is quickly going out of the aircraft, there would be a natural instinct to get this plane down, which is what mitchell is demonstrating now. get the plane going down to an altitude at which people can breathe, they will have oxygen but only for a short while. you also have to do that at a controlled rate, because you have to anticipate the aircraft has been damaged. you don't want to descend too sharply, in other words, to tear the plane apart you're turning

because you're going back to where you came from, or some emergency airport that is off to the left. i'll ask mitchell to level off, the problem with that scenario is that the turn is actually described as one that took two minutes to complete. assuming it's maybe 90 degrees, two minutes for that kind of turn is rather gentle. we'll try to simulate it's not a hard banking emergency maneuver, but more of just an ease of direction. so that doesn't necessarily indicate emergency, what i'm saying here is that it's still correctly, a turn like that may not mean an emergency. we just can't draw that conclusion right now. >> i'm curious, do you know how long or does mitchell know how long oxygen lasts for the pilots -- you always hear about

the oxygen mask coming down, how long does it last for? >> typically in the back -- it's about 15 minutes. it's more than enough time for most emergencies to get down to about -- below 10,000 feet, typically, generally speaking at cruise altitude it takes 5 to 7 minutes. >> one of the things we talk about the possibility based on a source, not officially confirms, flying at 12,000 feet. it could not have remained at 12,000 feet? >> no, it could not. what sort of fuel burn will you increase by going down to 12,000 feet? >> you'd have to look at the manuals, but rough guesstimate would be anywhere between 25 and 55%. >> right. >> it's drastic, it's an incredible increase. >> we know, if this is correct,

then the plane had to go back up to optimum altitude of 35,000 feet. how would you take the plane back up from 12,000 feet to say 35,000 feet. you would have to do it manually by pulling back or have to reset the auto pilot? >> yes, and if you reset the auto pilot, there's electrical power in the airplane. >> and you're going to burn fuel to climb back up. >> if this report is true, and this is a source telling cnn, it hasn't been officially confirmed, if the plane did go down at 12,000 and went back up to a cruising altitude, which it would have had to in order to have gone as far as it did, given the amount of fuel it had. are you saying it would have had to have been under human control? >> for these maneuvers to be done, no one is sitting here.

it's going to stay where you set it. >> we had to enter a new coordinate to make it raise back up to a reasonable altitude. >> we have to take another break. good to have you on. up next, could the same type of cargo that likely brought down this ups 777 in dubai also have impact to flight 370. how lithium batteries could ignite a catastrophe. we know they were on board in large quantities. did that have an impact? the other breaking story we're following tonight. up to washington state, the death toll has risen after a massive landslide.

the mystery of flight 370 is far from solved, how flight 370 ended up in the indian ocean is far from solved. it was carrying nearly a quarter ton of lithium batteries, which are very flammable piece of cargo. the ceo said the batteries were packed properly and not hazardous. sometimes a deadly result, randi kaye takes a look. >> at 30,000 feet this laptop may be enough to bring down a

jumbo jet. watch closely, it's about to catch fire. inside is a lithium battery. when it gets too hot it ignites, just like this faa training video demonstrates. in the last two decades or so, the faa reports more than 140 incidents involving batteries in cargo or baggage. in most cases, the batteries were undeclared, baggage handlers noticed luggage on fire or hot to the touch. on board laptops, even flashlights started to smoke. even though lithium batteries can cause this, they're still allowed in electronics in the passenger cabin. but in 2008, the faa banned loose batteries in checked luggage, a limited amount of batteries are still allowed to be checked if packaged properly. the concern,they could short circuit. >> a short circuit could happen by chance.

say a loose battery comes into contact with keys or coins or even jewelry, that can create a circuit or a path for electricity. the current flowing through that short circuit creates extreme heat leading to sparks and fire. >> lithium batteries burn so hot they can melt the body of a plane. >> nothing brings the fear of god to a pilot like having a fire or smoke in the airplane. you can't just pull off to the side of the road and hop out like you can in a car. >> reporter: this video shows how quickly lithium batteries can fuel a chain reaction. fire forced a ups plane to make an emergency landing in philadelphia. investigators found electronics containing lithium batteries in the cargo. the pilot survived. and this is what was left of a ups plane after it crashed in dubai in 2010. >> the aircraft impacted the ground. the sky lit up -- >> the boeing 747 was carrying

80 to 90,000 lithium batteries. a chain reaction fire filled the cockpit with smoke. both pilots died. following the ups crash in 2010, the faa wanted to tighten the rules on battery shipments in cargo planes too. industry groups and lobbyists fought back hard. the final promise blocked proposed tougher federal rules on transporting lithium batteries on planes. instead, relying on international standards set by the u.n. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> we want to bring in our panel again, as a pilot, you've always talked about the idea of some sort of fire on board. that being the greatest threat for pilots. how concerned are you to hear about the large amount of lithium batteries on the plane?

>> that's quite a scenario, yeah that would put the fear of gods in me. that being said, the video, that's the good part of the video that you saw, the fire. the bad part is, when you think that fire is extinguished from a laptop battery, it could reignite so we have a whole procedure for flight attendants, ourselves. >> to try to stop this from reigniting. >> there are research that found lithium batteries do not respond well to traditional ways of puts out the fire. they came back to the boston

fire department 11/the same thing les just said, they thought they had it out, it came back and reignited. and the suppression systems in the wide body planes, there's questions whether they could put that out. hopefully we'll learn more lessons through the dream liner fires. >> there's the issue of lithium batteries carried by passengers. and used operationally like in the dream liner? >> right. >> mostly i would be focused on the cargo hold as les mentioned, it doesn't always work. >> halon? >> that would be the fire extinguisher unit in the cargo area. once it's smothered and the system believes it's out, it's not. once oxygen comes back in again, it could be activated. i'm mostly concerned about the

fact that the hydrogen chloride fumes that come off of that could be armful if not deadly. that's the biggest concern for me. >> the fix for the dream liner problem was in casing those batteries, they thought they had done it, it wasn't good enough. they had to make sure they encased those batteries in a fume proof, flame proof, explosion proof cabinet in a box. even then, they had to put insulation between each battery to make them okay to go back on the dream liner. >> if lithium batteries played a role how does ocean water affect the kind of evident you would need to determine the cause zm. >> we have all sorts of sensors, we can do a complete forensic analysis. so i think the investigators are

very well versed in picking out damage caused by lithium batteries. it's just a matter of getting them the information they need. >> all of us have been following the story the last several weeks, have learned about things we didn't know about airlines. about the acars system, i mean, as a passenger now i kind of feel like passengers shouldn't be able to know more about the aircraft they're flying on, about what's in the cargo hold, what kind of acars system -- if i'm flying on a foreign carrier, i would like to know, do they have the top of the line acars system. there are no rights for the passengers, are there? >> no, have you no rights to know what's in your plane, et cetera, you have a right to select your fare and ticket, to know the kind of plane. you only have a right to know if it's jet service or prop service. that's about it, and if they switch the plane, the only thing you get is a jet for a jet. you have no rights to know what's in the cargo hold, what's

under your feet. what's literally a few feet from you that could be dangerous, hazardous or explosive. >> the only way to stop that kind of shipment is to ship it on a cargo aircraft. >> we'll learn more in the days ahead. the death toll has risen, the search is on for about 100 people who may be draped or at least unaccounted for after the landslide north of seattle. investigators say they've never seen anything like it, dozens injured after a train derailment this morning at chicago's o'hare airports. when folks in the lower 48 think about what they get from alaska,

they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs.
