6:00 pm
they know what it means, you may be wrong. we don't want it. miss megyn is next. please remember, the spin stops right here, we're definitely looking out for you . breaking tonight, a bombshell in the mystery of the missing plane. the kelly file confirming a crucial piece of the puzzle. in what could be a big break in the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370. welcome to the kelly file, everyone, i'm megyn kelly. moments ago, the kelly file learning details about the time line, vastly different from what we knew before. official government sources are saying at the time the co pilot calmly signed off with malaysian air traffic control at 1:07 a.m., this jet had already made its u-turn heading off course,
6:01 pm
back to malaysia's east coast, instead of its intended destination in china. at 1:07 a.m., the plane's data communication system the acars system, sent out its last automated message, they are programmed to fire off every 30 minutes, what we did not know until moments ago is at that time the plane had already changed course, heading west away from the intended destination of beijing, all without a word from the co pilot to control. he spoke with them at 1:19 said nothing about it. again, this is a full 12 minutes before the person sent out the last calm message. all right, good night. . scott brenner is a former faa senior official now with gephardt government affairs, if this is the case, that in fact
6:02 pm
at 1:07 a.m., the acars communication system was transmitting data that this plane had already made its turn, is that our information? >> that's what i understand as well, megyn. >> had already made its turn then that would suggest that this co pilot knew a lot more than he was communicating to ground control and places a whole new spotlight on him. >> no, absolutely. this was programmed, in we don't know when it was programmed in, if it was before the flight took off. but at 1:07 we have a new flight path. it's clear whoever put this in, had plans to take this aircraft west very early on in this flight. >> if the acars communication was communicating such data at 1:07 a.m., does it mean the plane was already heading west?
6:03 pm
>> most likely yes, unless there was another in between waypoint which i have not heard of. most likely as soon as he hit that way pointpoint it's starting to make that nice slow curve to the west. these are not dramatic turns. >> is it your information that the plane had turned west and was heading west instead of northeast than it was supposed to, was that different from the report that had been generated 30 minutes earlier at 12:47 a.m.? >> we don't know what the flight plan was other than it was the traditional route up to beijing, the next report shows it has a new flight path. >> when the new york times broke information yesterday that the u-turn off the intended flight course had been programmed in by somebody, the plane had been told to do it, the one piece
6:04 pm
that was missing from their report was, well, when? when was it told to do it? and the information that came out earlier tonight from nbc news just two hours ago, is that it was told to do it 12 minutes before the co pie loot signed off with mission control. we seem to be adding to that now, and saying, not only was it told to do it, 12 minutes before the co pilot signed off, but the plane itself was heading west. the co pilot knew he was offcourse, in other words, according to how it looks tonight, when he signed off with ground control at 1:19. >> correct. and again, i guess -- not to get too complicates, but acars is reporting every 30 minutes, the last report we have is at 1:07. at that 1:07 mark, we have this new flight plan. then we have another 12 minutes before the co pilot signs off. sometime prior to that, he's plugged it in, he knows he's
6:05 pm
taking that aircraft in a whole new direction. >> we've heard some pilots say, well, sometimes you plug in alternate destinations, just in case i need to say, oh, shoot, i need to go here, and you press the button. >> i find that a little hard to believe right now, considering that is a dramatic turn from your planned course. >> is there any chance the captain of this flight as opposed to the co pilot -- if we're just assuming right now, that the co pilot was doing this, had made the turn, was communicating with air traffic control, what do we know about the captain, could he have been communicating in this? >> you don't know for a pilot or co pilot to punch in a new waypoint in their flight management system without the other noticing, would be hard to do. it's just a few strokes, but it's a major change in your
6:06 pm
flight plan if you're the co pilot or pilot. >> and yet if you look at the circumstantial evidence, the most potentially problematic thing for the co pilot, he was the one that communicating at 1:19, all right, good night, it looks like this plane had already turned off its course. have we heard from the captain at all? >> not that i know of. that's been the problem through this whole thing, the dripping of information from the malaysians. we found out a few days ago, it was the co pilot who signed off. when we get the information, sometimes it's changed, sometimes it's so late, we wasted time looking in an area we shouldn't have been looking in. >> before i let you go, what do
6:07 pm
you make of this latest information? what does it tell you? >> i think we've known for a while, at least a lot of folks i've been talking to, that this has been an intentional maneuvering of the aircraft. one of the pilots clearly had the intention, as soon as that plane took off, he was going to take it in another direction, why, i have no idea, it was very clear, not only -- i mean, the fact that the transponder was turned off, the fact that the acars stopped functioning. this type of thing does not happen, and now with this new point you bring up tonight i think it's 100% clear, this pilot or co pilot took this plane with the clear intend of doing something bad. >> scott, thank you. >> we have a panel of experts to break this down for us now. robert mark is a pilot and
6:08 pm
publisher of jetwine.com. rob, let me start with you, and get your reaction to that news. >> well, i think that we've heard the phrase game changer for the last 10 days, i think this is probably really going to be it, we now seem to have some of the hard evidence that we needed to say, how do we know that the airplane took very specific actions, and it looks like someone absolutely programmed this in and turned the airplane away from beijing. >> patrick, we have been keeping the theory of mechanical failure alive and discussing that every night, to discuss what could be an alternate explanation. this seems to make a mechanical failure more difficult to explain as the theory if the pilot at the time he's saying all right, good night. has already turned the aircraft.
6:09 pm
>> it makes it more difficult, but i would not totally dismiss that possibility. you touched on something a few minutes ago. it's true that pilots do sometimes program in alternate routes, stand by routes, secondary waypoints and flight plans that may be needed for some circumstance. we absolutely do that. and it's possible still that the airplane was turning because the crew was dealing with some sort of on board problem. you don't always communicate an urgency in the airplane with controllers on the ground. in fact, in the priority of -- your priorities when dealing with an emergency are to fly the airplane first, figure out where you could be going. >> but to not mention that when he signed off at 1:19 to instead say calmly, all right, good night. >> well, that's not totally
6:10 pm
startling, but it's also true that we need to make sure that that time line is factual, and that the turn was commenced. the actual turn, not just the programs of the fms, that turn that par in advance of the communication, even so, that doesn't leave me convince d -- there couldn't have been something else going on there, aside from the idea of a hija hijacking. again, to let me finish my point. communicating with the ground is really last on the priorities list when year dealing with an in flight emergency. >> i understand if they were dealing with an emergency, they have to do -- >> they have -- >> hold on, i want to get my other guest in. >> the acars system, this is not something we understand, it
6:11 pm
communicates zeta from the airplane to air traffic control. it was shut off at 1:21 a.m. two minuteses after the co pilot last communicated, it was shut down either intentionally or by the mechanical failure, do you believe that that information could tell air traffic control that the plane had already turned? would they be able to look at that today and say, this airplane had already made its u-turn at 1:07 a.m., i see it right here? yes, i do. and also, when the co pilot as it's been asluded to has already made the waypoint change, you have to remember, this is cockpit resource management, the captain would also normally would have verified the waypoint change coordinates.
6:12 pm
it's a two-man crew. it's inconceivable the first officer would have put in new waypoint coordinates, without the captain verifying these coordinate changes. had there been an in flight emergency or in this case a systems failure, they would have just being -- just a simple systems failure, they would have immediately put out a message over the radio, pan, pan, which is alerting the people they had a system's failure and they needed assistance from the ground. now if it had gone a little further to an emergency, they would have gone up and said mayday, mayday, mayday. this is an in flight emergency. neither happened. and also another point to put out, there's no record there was any type of maintenance issues with this aircraft, and that's
6:13 pm
according to information put out by malaysian air. >> it would be extraordinary for the co pilot to make this decision without the input of the captain. however, that's only true if the captain was not incapacitated and we don't know the status of -- the malaysian authorities seem to confirm they hadn't heard from the captain on this flight, they heard from the co pilot. you hear normally from the one who's not in charge of flying the plane, i want to discuss that with all of you much more, we have to take a quick commercial break, we'll come back to the panel with the new information. we had come to air tonight prepared to discuss mechanical failures. the information has changed as we came to air. the malaysian authorities are being criticized for how they're handling this. are they really this inept or is

6:17 pm
on to the co pilot. we are hearing that when the 27-year-old co pilot radioed his final good night communication to air traffic control, the plane had already been diverted from its flight path, but there was no mention of that by the co pilot tom anyone on the grounds. joining me now, peter king, chairman of the counter terrorism subcommittee on the house homeland committee. you have been saying look at the pilots from the beginning. why were you zeroed in on them? >> most people i spoke to in the airline, most people felt odds are, that had to be an inside job, either someone who took over the plane and the pilot and/or the co pilot. all the other explanations were too much off the playing feel. i felt it was either a suicide or terrorist attack by someone
6:18 pm
within the cockpit. >> u.s. officials have they been leaning toward catastrophic economical failure or some nefarious act? >> my conversations have been leaning toward, happening within the cockpit, either terrorism or suicide. >> not pure mechanical failure. >> how close contact do you believe we have with the malaysian government and are they cooperating with us the way they need to be? >> no, it's been terrible. >> just the fact that they took seven days before they began to look at the pilot and co pilot is inexcusable. any time you have a situation like this, the pilot and co pilot have to be looked at as suspects. malaysia has a strong history of al qaeda activity. not to say they're terrorists, but it's something you have to look into. they never brought fbi in, interp interpol, australian
6:19 pm
intelligence. all these agencies they could have brought in and looked at the background of the pilot and co pilot. >> they searched their cell phone records, nothing of question there, the co pilot, 27, engaged to marry his girlfriend of nine years. she is a pilot herself. he had that incident of inviting some young blonde women into the cockpit. the pilots i talked to said, that's not a big deal. there seems to be nothing in the history that would implicate them. >> they didn't begin the investigation until saturday. you've been involved practicing law, you have to investigate, investigate, investigate. that's what they should have been doing. drilling down the information, bring in intelligence to work with them, instead they didn't look at themselves or bring in
6:20 pm
anyone from the outside to help them. >> you have to ask why. >> we learn more about the time line of what looks increasingly of some sort of hijacking. we're going to take a closer look at what was going on as the plane shot up to 45,000 feet. we're not dismissing or failing to investigate suggestions this could have been a mechanical failure or a fire aboard this plane like this one from 2011. wait until you see what happened to the cockpit on this airline, we'll discuss a theory about how it could have happened on malaysia airlines flight 370 as well next. your fidelity green line and u'll see just how much it has to offer, especially if you're thinking of moving an old 401(k) to a fidelity ira. it gives you a widrange of investment options...

6:24 pm
back now to the breaking news involving the missing malaysia airlines jet, we have been telling you the flight path had already changed. before a person believed to be the co pilot said good night to air traffic control. we're continuing to investigate the possibility of a mechanical failure on board this aircraft. take a look at this, this is a boeing 777 that caught fire on the ground at the gate a couple years ago, it would have been far more catastrophic if it had happened in the air. >> there's a theory by a guy named john goodfellow. this 777 was filled with passengers and fuel. and the night it took off, it was very hot. it takes a long time to get off the ground to use up most of the runway, if the nose gear was under inflated but overheated it caught fire, it's happened before, the co pilot signs off
6:25 pm
saying all right, good night, shortly after goodfellow believes there is smoke in the cockpit. the plane has no communication. the experienced captain programs a brand new destination into the flight computer. that would explain the big left hand turn, the pilots have oxygen, if there's smoke, they can wear smoke hoods, those only last a few minutes, the theory being the pilots became overcome by smoke, the plane flew for 7.5 hours until it ran out of fuel. there are holes with the breaking news. in 1998 swiss air flight 111 had smoke in the cockpit, it tried to turn back off the coast of nova scotia, it never played it. nose into the ocean.
6:26 pm
in 2011 the egypt air 777 was at the gate in cairo when it caught fire and look at the cockpit, look at the damage it did. the reason that fire spread so quickly, it was an oxygen rich environment. everybody got off that plane okay, but the damage -- the jet was destroyed. >> it's eerie to think of that happening. back with me now, my panel. patrick, let me start with you, the main argument against mechanical failure seems to be how could a plane fly five or six hours on auto pilot across malaysia and into the indian sea? >> well, it could. i admit that the likelihood of this being a catastrophic failure, mechanical failure, is
6:27 pm
shrinking. it's looking more and more like an intentional act i'm not ready to close that door completely. the piece today, goodfellow talks about the possibility of the aren't crew made the turn because they were dealing with some sort of smoke or fumes emergency and in the process of diverting to an alternate airport they were overcome by the smoke or fumes incapacitated and because the course had already been set and the plane's auto pilot remained engaged, the airplane considered on for a considerable amount of time before burning up or crashing into the ocean. it's not a particularly likely scenario, but it's a lot more likely than several other scenarios floating around the last couple days. i would leave the door open on
6:28 pm
that for a little while. >> rob? >> i think the story he's refurring to, it made a lot of sense to me, it did. he tried to put everyone in the shoes of the pilots and saying, if an emergency occurred, what would you do? we would have all looked for a place to land. we wouldn't have gone straight ahead toward vietnam, ho chi mihn city. when i looked at the map, i saw the runway he mentioned, it's certainly there, it's great, but there are also a couple places in between. there's one at the malaysian/thai border that is not surrounded by a terribly large population. if i had an emergency, i
6:29 pm
wouldn't pass that up, it's probably another 140 miles on to the airport i mentioned. >> the question remains if there were an emergency on board, i had always assumed the communications system the radio would go down when the transponder went down, it's not the case. the radio keeps working, if there was something on board, why didn't they -- i realize their primary focus is to ave yat and save their lives, does it strike you as unusual they wouldn't have at least for a moment said pan, pan or mayday? >> i don't buy either one of the theorys personally. i think they would have come up with the pan, pan. transmission. the aircraft could have landed on a 4,000 foot runway, take at least 6,000 feet to get it back off the ground again. also on the 777, it has a fire detection system, and also a
6:30 pm
fire suppression system to put any type of fire out whatsoever. i can imagine the aircraft flying around for four to five hours, i don't buy either one. >> why are you saying that's not true, patrick? >> several of the things he said aren't quite true. >> pick your top one. >> you don't necessarily transmit a problem to controllers on the ground with pan, pan. that may or may not take place. >> all right. >> it doesn't mean -- >> we're calling ghost flight, if that theory is correct, it's possible the people on board this aircraft may have perished as we saw on the paine stewart air crash as we saw in the greece flight, i think it was 522, where those on board perished and the plane flew to its demise.
6:31 pm
up next, more on the breaking news on this missing plane and reports that it changed course after takeoff, at the time the pilot quietly signed off from air traffic control, what was happening in the cabin what about those passengers, a closer look at the oxygen and what can be done with it, next. along with support, chantix varenicline is proven to help peoe quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking.

6:34 pm
6r7b8gs breaking tob ining toni bombshell in the missing plane. scott brenner is a former faa senior official now with gephardt government affairs. for the viewers joining us, what are your sources telling you. >> according to federal officials involved in this investigation, they're telling me that at least within the first 26 minutes of that flight, the pilots were already changing the flight path, so what we had
6:35 pm
originally thought was the plane had gone up flying toward -- on its original course to beijing, and signing off with air traffic control, and making a westerly turn. we now know within those first 26 minutes, they had reprogrammed the flight plan and were already starting to turn west far before they signed off with air traffic control. >> at 1:19 a.m. when the man identified as the co pilot signed off by saying, all right, good night, your senior sources are telling you that plane had already made its u-turn was offcourse already away from beijing and the co pilot and pilot for that matter said nothing about it? >> absolutely. very odd. very odd, and it's -- you know, this has been confirmed through some data, and that data transmits every 30 minutes, the plane took off at 12:41 and by 1:07 it had already had additional waypoints programmed into the system.
6:36 pm
>> to underscore, your information, at least as of tonight has not only been head of the program, but the plane had already turned as of 1:07 a.m.? >> absolutely. they were already starting in that westerly direction. >> all right, scott, thank you. the new york times has been breaking big news throughout this investigation, what do their reporters make of the news tonight given what they reported last night. it all ties in. michael, good to see you again. it was literally 24 hours ago, that you were on our air telling us your information was indeed this plane had been told, specifically had been told by a human being via a keypad to make that turn. so it was no accident it made the turn, it sounds like scott brenner's information jibes with your own? >> yeah, i mean, basically, what this does is, it refocuses all the attention on the pilots and who else on the plane has experience in a boeing cockpit and knew how to operate it, what that says to the investigators there and in the united states
6:37 pm
is, what was it that really provoked them, now, the problem is, they haven't really found anything yet, they've gone through the pilots e-mails, they haven't found anything there. it doesn't look like the flight simulator taken from one of the pilot's houses showed anything. the work that was done here by federal investigators didn't show any links to terrorism. so, yeah, we're back looking at people who knew how to fly the plane. >> nor do we flow, michael, whether this co pilot, assuming he was in on it, or doing this, intentionally for nefarious purposes, we don't know whether he was under duress, we don't know whether someone was on board making him do it, we don't know what the status was in the cockpit tonight. >> if we don't get to the plane within another few weeks, the batteries and the flight recorder will go out, and we won't really know anything that happened the last two hours since the plane was still in the air. >> michael, thank you, we appreciate it. >> breaking tonight, sources
6:38 pm
tell the kelly file as we told you, moments ago, that before, before this co pilot said good night to air traffic control, this plane had already made its youturn to the west and that was not mentioned in the communication. trace gallagher live with another theory about. >> until they find the black boxes of these planes, the cockpit voice recorder, everything is still on the table. this is the theory that says that someone wanted to incapacitate the passengers and then reuse that plane, land somewhere else and reuse it, the theory is, the jet went to 45,000 feet, which the radar says it did. and that the cabin was then depressurized by someone in the cockpit. now, the oxygen mask would come down, but keep in mind the passengers only have about 15 minutes of oxygen. after that they would quickly suffocate. the pilots also had limited oxygen, but they have more than
6:39 pm
the passengers but then again, they can always drop to an altitude where you do not need oxygen, and, of course, the radar says the plane did go back down. there are, of course, gaping holes in this theory, experts say planes are pressurized at 8,000 feet, so the cabin would be at the very same pressure at 35,000 feet as was at 45,000 feet, so the question is, why would you go up 45,000 feet just to flip off the cabin pressure, and keep in mind for that plane to actually land and be used again, it would have to cross land, it would have to cross land based radar, probably military radar, and it would have to evade that, and that is a very difficult thing to do. megyn. >> thanks, trace. our panel of experts is back now. mike, let me get your reaction now to the breaking news that we've been reporting tonight.
6:40 pm
>> right, well, you know, i'm not admittedly the sharpest tool in the shed. if it wasn't just programming the new flight plan, but was actually, had committed the turn and it made this abrupt turn minutes and minutes before the co pilot signed off, with air traffic control, which would have that plane under its control, why didn't somebody say, excuse me, but you turned the wrong way? so i appreciate you saying all right, good night, but why are you heading in the wrong direction? this is part of the problem -- the problem has been that, we're getting conflicting statements, we get information in drips and drabs, you're trying to grab data from a variety of countries. some of whom aren't the most
6:41 pm
transparent. >> chuck hagel came out today and encouraged malaysia to tell us what they know when they know it. >> one of the reasons that they couldn't tell what the airplane was doing is that the air traffic control radar doesn't reach as far as where that airplane was at the time. and it's very much -- they were in radio contact, but it doesn't mean that the radar saw everything that was going on. but also, the 45,000 feet issue that we've been talking about for a week here, to my knowledge, the malaysians don't possess high radar. where they came up with this 40,000 pete is beyond me. >> as a pilot yourself, do you -- is it consistent that the more junior pilot on board this flight, if he had seized control from the captain, that the plane would be jerking about, that there would be some inconsistencies zigzagging side to side, going up, going down,
6:42 pm
before it leveled off and continued westward? >> well, if the two of them were wrestling, yes, possibly. but that, even though the man didn't have a great deal of nighttime, by the time you're in the right seat, you've gone through the process, you can make a turn without making all kinds of crazy gyrations, even though you're a junior pilot. >> your belief about -- clearly somebody -- well, not clearly, someone appears to have seized control of this airplane, and the thought is what does that person do with the passengers on board, the 227 passengers on board, once that's done? the theory was, go up to 45,000 feet deprives them of oxygen, does the pilot have to go up to 45,000 feet for that? can he not shut down the oxygen and the pressurization for the passengers right from the cockpit? >> yes, he can. only 777, it was reported that it did go up to 45,000 feet. what you have to understand on
6:43 pm
the 777, the oxygen system is an automatic oxygen system that is programmed along with the flight plan itself. this aircraft, if it went up to 43,000, the pressure altitude is 8,000 feet. if it went to 450, it would be 10,000 feet. but there are two buttons for the oxygen system. all the pilot or the co pilot would have to do is go to the manual mode on the oxygen system there. >> and they can override it. how much oxygen would the passengers have had in the oxygen masks? >> they would have had 22 minutes. all you have to do is run the pressurization controller up to 18,000 feet, the masks would drop, after 22 minutes, the pilot -- the co pilot allowed
6:44 pm
them to stay for 30 minutes, then they're gone. and then he could run the pressurization controller back up to automatic, regain control and they got the aircraft back. >> we have to leave it there, we'll be back with our panel and ralph peters is here after this break. no two people have the same financial goals. pnc investments works with you to understand yours and helps plan for your retirement. talk to a pnc investments financial advisor today. ♪
