again, thank you for watching us tonight. ms. megyn on deck, i am bill o'reilly, please remember the spin stops here, we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight on the other side of the globe right now, the sun is up and crews are back on the hunt for the missing malaysian airliner. following what is called the best lead so far. i'm megyn kelly, far from the plane's last known location and more than a thousand miles off the western coast of australia in some of the roughest seas in the world, teams are trying to find a needle in the hay stack after debris from the missing jet possibly was spot d by satellite several days ago. this area was close to one of the corridors where authorities say the plane may have gone. the southern corridor in western

malaysia, one of the parts was 80 feet long, the other, 15 feet, which provides clues and has some saying that it definitely is or is not part of the aircraft. you can see how news of this information and discovery was extremely difficult for the families to hear. they have waited for nearly two weeks for any news of their loved ones, for now all they can do is wait and hope that their worst fears are not realized. so what exactly are the ships and aircraft up against as they search now for what may be the remnants of this plane? >> to see you. they say this could not be more remote. that the conditions could be very dire out there. and that these seas are incredibly rough, both to search and then of course once the ships get there to actually navigate. >> the conditions couldn't be worse, i was following this in the very early hours of this morning when the australian prime minister was breaking the

news. i have to say, megyn, i thought the information was very premature. from the got there was just enough information from the satellite imagery to initiate a search in the area. but there was not enough information to be conclusive. >> that led a lot of people to say they must know more than they're saying, they're working with the united states. why would they ever send their prime minister out to make a statement? >> that is a great question, i'm not actually sure he did know more, the whole world is speculating about this at the moment. what i would say is the area it is in, you have alluded to it. 600 miles off the strip of australia, near the arctic circle, very difficult to search, it takes five hours for the orion, to travel at about 240 knots, four miles a minute.

it will take you five hours to get out to the search operation area. five hours, three hours loiter time. not only is that not a lot of time, it is incredibly fatiguing to the crew. i've been on search and rescue operations, i've done a few. and when the inclement weather comes down, the visibility sucks right in. you can't see five or ten kilometers in front of you. these guys will be glued to the ocean, searching an area over 100,000 miles, flying at low level, there will be lots of turbulence. >> look at this video of this part of the world. how close to the ocean will they get? >> it all depends on the judgment of the pilot and co-pilot if you like. they can actually come down to 200 or 100 feet over the sea -- >> how can they see to try to identify oh, that is a piece of

plane versus a piece of cargo ship or some other debris? >> these things are used for maritime surveillance. the opposition navys or to hunt subs as well. they have lots of sophisticated sonar equipment on board. you are absolutely right, they have binoculars to look out the window, the higher they fly the more it will give them an idea. the worse, the weather it will take these guys a lot longer to actually search the 100,000 square kilometers. >> they say it is an area that collects garbage, there is no land to interrupt the flow of ocean and it just swirls and swirls and swirls, australians seem to caution people who jump to conclusion by seeing the australian prime minister out there saying we may or may not have found something. that we shouldn't go there. because they had this happened before and it turned out to be nothing. i mean, is this an area known

for debris? and if that is true, is this the sailors out there right now to check it out physically? >> i think there was lots of debris in the ocean. it was a really difficult judgment by the australian prime minister. whether to mention they actually found something or whether to keep it under the quiet until they actually send aircraft out there to corroborate the evidence. for me, there is a side that has already come back from a nine-hour reporting. one of the areas they looked at, there was a freighter there, and dolphins. it goes to show when you have a low resolution, it could be an iceburg, a pot of dolphins, a freighter or it could be something else. >> and the satellite was not positioned in the right way for this particular area, to see it the best. now being repositioned and hopefully we'll get more data soon. mikey, great to see you. >> thank you. >> this area is known for 30-foot waves and dangerous gale

force winds, our chief meteorologist is in the area where it is the stretch of water. >> the satellite images that you're talking about, the satellite orbits the earth and takes a single swipe of a picture of information and then as another satellite does another swipe around, kind of like if you're vacuuming and did a clean sweep. it is very difficult to get imagery especially in a place that you're not generally looking in. it was horrible as they were out there. but now, high pressure out there, you see the clearing there. the blue indicates clear skies right there. this is where that debris was. but you will notice as we go forward this time we stay clear throughout the day tomorrow. and about another 48 hours, by the time we get to sunday morning that is east coast time. so that is late sunday out there. we're going to start to see the next storm move in. and right along the other tail the next storm moves in.

clouds and rain, getting much more difficult again. it leads for that visual reference that at tthey want to, the next two days. if this search pans out and the debris does belong to the missing jet then they have to find the rest of the plane. the process took almost two years for the air france crash off the coast of south america. ed casano leads deep see expeditions. ed, good to see you, your thoughts on how they could possibly go about searching this particular stretch of ocean. they say the terrain there, the ocean terrain there may be relatively flat but it is also very, very deep and very, very rough. >> it is going to be a challenge for sure. the fact that we need to find a debris trail. and then obviously, once the debris is in fact confirmed to be from the aircraft, the idea would be to look at the prevailing weather conditions in

the past couple of weeks since the aircraft was lost and the ocean conditions at the time. and basically follow the trail back up to a potential impact zone. and from there it gets challenging. you need to bring in ship-based assets to basically use something called multi-beam sonar, which is basically a fan of energy, sound, to look at the ocean floor and look for anomalies that may in fact be the wreckage of the aircraft. >> you have actually led deep sea expeditions. when you go out to the ocean, our last guest said this could be anything. there are a lot of people who don't think this is this plane at all because they think a, an approximately 80-foot piece of something in the ocean is not likely to be an aircraft two weeks after the fact. and a lot of folks said that is too big to be cargo off a vessel but a lot of folks said that is exactly what a piece of cargo

would look off the vessel, what are your thoughts? >> well, that is absolutely right, you're doing your best guess, obviously that is something of interest. we obviously have to get some sort of floati ining debris, to confirm this could be the wreckage. if it is found on the floor to the ship-based sensors, you may use something called an autonomous vehicle -- >> let me ask you this, i read somebody said this -- if this is indeed the plane it could not have gone down in a worst location in terms of searching, finding the debris. do you agree with that? >> the southern ocean is a very rough body of water. and working on the ocean, working in the ocean and deep with what you will have to do here it is extremely

challenging. the environment, the pressure is extreme. the temperatures down there are cold. there is no light. it is a foreign world to us. and it requires very sophisticated assets to in fact explore further. >> wow. ed, thank you. in the meantime, if this plane is in the ocean the elts have not gone off and they have not been able to find the sort of beacon that lets people know the plane has gone down here and this is where it is. and the plane is equipped with multiple elts so why hasn't it, if this is where the plane is? meanwhile, right after the plane disappeared, why didn't the malaysians come out with information more than a week? it took a week to direct the search from the east coast. we get the very first tv interview with me right here tonight. wait until you hear this. plus, the fbi shares new details on what is happening

strong interest in what happened with this plane. republican senator saxby chambliss is here tonight. good of you to be here, your thoughts on the progress of the data that we have been told was deleted from the flight simulator. >> well, i actually spoke with them this afternoon. and what i can tell you, megyn, they not only have the simulator box but they also have some other assets that they are reviewing in great detail. they are very focused on this. they refer to it as being laser focused, and they will not stop. it will be 24/7 until they do all the forensics on the assets they have including the information they have from the simulator. obviously, they want to see what was deleted and they're going to be able to do that, we think. and there are a number of other assets that they're also looking at. they're going to share that with the malaysians as soon as they

have it. >> do we believe the fbi at this point will be able to retrieve the deleted files? >> well, that is an unknown right now, just like so many other things relative to this airplane, megyn. but you know, nobody has the capabilities that the united states has when it comes to do something like that. and as i say, they're not going to sleep until they complete this process. >> based on -- >> i'm confident that they're going to be able to. >> based on your conversations in the intelligence field. and obviously you're talking to people who are actually in the know, do you believe at this point that we can rule out hijacking or other nefarious conduct on board? >> no, absolutely not. i will say that there doesn't appear to be anything that points to either an act of terrorism or hijacking of some sort. but you just simply can't rule that out at this point. we know, for example, that somebody manually turned that

transponder off. we probably won't know who did that until we are able to retrieve the black box, if we ever are able to retrieve it. we know that after the transponder went off the plane flew for several hours. some of that was not totally in a normal flight pattern but it was not the type of erratic flying that would be associated normally with somebody who was committing an act of terrorism. so there are a number of things that they're still analyzing. but there is nothing that points to terrorism or a hijacking. but you simply can't rule that out at this point. >> let me press you on a point you just said. that we know that the transponder was intentionally turned off. how do we know that? because there have been others out there saying perhaps there was a catastrophic event on board the aircraft that led to the shutdown by the aircraft of systems including its own transponder. >> well, those that have

examined it and particularly the folks from boeing, who obviously made the airplane, from what they have been told there just simply is no way that a catastrophic event turned that transponder off. somebody had to manually turn it off. >> wow, i mean -- if that is true, that is a significant development in the case, because if somebody leaned down and turned that off by choice to try to go dark in the airplane, then that certainly, you tell me, raises the possibility of hijacking either by the pilot or passenger to a considerable level. >> yeah, i don't think there is any question about that. and that is why you know, the crew and all the passengers, the manifest was given to the united states agencies immediately. or i say immediately, within a day or two. and again, nobody has the capability outside the united states to review the background of those pilots, the crew, as well as the passengers like we do. and nothing has been turned up

there, megyn, at least at this point in time. they're going to continue to review them but nothing really jumped out at them which is really interesting and surprising. >> and yet we have no airplane. we don't -- nothing was used against us or anybody else at this point. so if you sort of followed the hijacking plan to its conclusion you have to ask towards what end? what would be the purpose? we had some people on the program speculating perhaps the jet was landed in pakistan, perhaps that is why the emergency locater transponder has not gone off, because it has hit land someplace and has been powered down. is that something that the agencies are looking into? >> well, again, you can't rule anything out. but megyn that is just so highly unlikely that they would have been able to land that plane and nobody would have heard anything at this point in time. i think it -- i haven't been given any concrete information about the speculation from the

analysts. but it looks pretty clear that that plane is in the water somewhere. >> do you -- i mean, when you see the uss kidd go over there, when you see our resources, the poseidon going over there and searching in the indian ocean one has to believe that we wind up with the conclusion that it is in the ocean. are there any alternatives being considered. because we have had other experts come on the program and say if we don't find debris from this plane within the next couple of days washing up on some shore, it is probably not in the ocean. because they say debris always washes up. >> well, you have already shown some pictures of the area where that debris may have been seen. and it is pretty rough in there. and lord knows if there is an airplane underneath all of that you would hope that some debris would ultimately surface. but at this point in time, you know, we still don't have any

concrete idea whether they're looking in the right place. but again, you go back and look at what we do know, megyn, for example the plane took off heading towards beijing, which was kind of northeast. we now know that it took a southern turn. and when you take a southern route, particularly this case it took a southwest route that is consistent with where this debris or potential debris was spotted. so that is encouraging from that standpoint. but again, that is just one more situation that has to be checked out thoroughly. and we shouldn't get our hopes up over this being debris. but it is going to be so difficult to find, even the equipment we got, the p 8, the p 3s, they're magnificent weapons systems, one source told me you can spot a beer can under water. so if it is there i think ultimately we'll find it. >> thank you, sir.

or . well, breaking tonight, a british satellite communications company is proving to be a key asset in the search for the missing malaysian plane. they are the only company in information with the missing plane after air traffic control lost sight of the aircraft. it is also the group that determined flight 370 went west, not northeast on the night it disappeared. the company is now a technical adviser to the investigation. and joining me now in the company's first american television interview, the senior vice president, chris mclaughlin. chris, great to see you, thank you so much for being here. let me start with what you can. i realize it is limited. but what you can tell us about this particular aircraft. were you the ones that

determined that it was up to seven hours after air traffic control lost contact with this airplane that it continued to fly? that it was continuing to ping? >> yes, we were. we looked at the data that we had on our network and we found that signals had continued to be received for a number of hours after they had lost contact with the radar and with the acars management system. >> how sure were you and are you right now that it was this airplane? >> just like a cell phone, each piece of equipment has its own sim card and its own registration number. we were absolutely certain we were seeing the readings from this particular aircraft. >> so you have a satellite company, i understand you have about ten satellites in orbit, some 22,000 miles above the equator. and you provide a service to various aircraft that will monitor communications systems on board the aircraft with your satellites. one of those systems is the

so-called acars system that we've heard a lot about in this investigation that allows the system to communicate with ground control. that was shut down on this aircraft. but you have managed -- your satellites managed to continue to communicate with the airplane anyway, how? >> okay, in very simple terms just like a cellular phone system if you imagine the satellite network, whoever you choose, the box on the plane, the classic arrow product from inmarsat, is the project, and then there are various apps that may include different text messaging of different sorts that go through that box. now, when the acars and the transponders were switched off, it rendered them useless. but the hand set, just like your phone, stayed on and stayed polled on average an hour just

to see if it wanted service or not. >> in your view if this airplane had been compromised by something like that smoke or fire would it have been possible for a couple of apps to go down as opposed to the entire inmarsat box? >> look, i don't think i'm qualified to say what happened on the plane, but for the inmarsat to determine if it was powered, you draw your own conclusion to determine of it would run for many hours. >> if the plane continued to fly westward and ping, would a pilot understand it? because one of the theories is somebody may have hijacked the plane, turned off the acars systems, the transponder, do you believe that the pilot would have understood that the inmarsat box would continue to communicate, even after the transponder was shut down?

>> i can't testify to what they would understand. but the pilot i flew with understood how it could turn off a transponder, but they didn't understand the other. >> it requires some effort from the sound of it. >> i don't mean to be blocking. >> no, i understand. so when you hear this plane goes down or goes missing, it was saturday, march 8th, malaysia time, friday march 7th, u.s. time. and you start to check your signals and your data immediately, you notice the pinging going on, you you ultimately determine it is this flight, that this flight flew on for many hours after it disappeared. now, i want to go through the time line with you because there is a question about whether the malaysian authorities lost days and wasted resources in searching on the eastern coast of malaysia when they knew or had reason to know the flight had gone westward and could not be there. you communicate, and inmarsat

showed the data showing that it continued to fly west. it was tuesday, march 11th, then wednesday, march 12th it was relayed to the malaysian and british authorities. can you confirm that? >> i think there is no smoking gun here. what we did were two things, first of all on the saturday when the plane went missing we were asked if we had any data related to the flight. and within three to four hours we had handed over the basic flight data information to the supplier of the avionics on the plane. it was only on friday -- because remember everybody thought it would be found in the seas off the indian ocean. but our organization thought was there anything we could do to help? and on sunday or monday, they used the idea, well, maybe we could use the satellite signals. let's have a look. they looked on the website and found the pings as you call them. and they realized the plane went

on for a number of hours and then set off the basic sum can we work out which way it went? and then by tuesday they drew up a suggested arc to the south and north, if you like, to where they would want to look. it is not the case of where we really set up an idea and said, it's here. >> and by wednesday, march 12th, we understand the malaysian authorities had it. can you confirm that? >> i can confirm that on the tuesday we supplied it to the investigation. >> and then that thursday, the uss kidd deployed to the indian ocean, that friday, the uss poseidon aircraft deployed to the indian ocean. and it was not until march 15th that they redirected the search to the western coast of malaysia, do you believe that malaysia acted fast enough? >> i can't say whether they acted fast enough. in all of these crisis situations you have to run out all the information you

>> if the plane had crashed there would have been no further power, and there certainly was no further power to give an 8th ping. >> what conclusions do you draw from the fact that the pings stopped from seven hours after

the plane lost communication with air traffic control? >> well, like you, and this is a very sad thing for all the families that are involved in this and we shouldn't forget them. like you, you have to draw the conclusion that the plane had a certain amount of fuel on it which i believe from the media was about seven and a half hours. you have to draw the conclusion it ran out of fuel. but beyond that, i can't draw a fair conclusion. >> chris, thank you so much. >> thank you . so the go if the engines of the plane are on. and so if this plane had been hijacked and was sitting some place, no longer pinging, which means at a minimum we know it is not turned on. i mean, that is something that we learned directly from the inmarsat executive, you heard right there. one way or the other this plane's engines appear to have been shut down, and the question of course remains how did that happen? if you were just joining us or

inmarsa

breaking moments ago, the vice chair of the senate intel committee made a pretty significant statement about the transponders on the missing plane and how they got turned off. now, we're queueing up the sound bite for you, what he told me, those that have examined it, particularly the folks from boeing who obviously made the airplane from what they have been told, there is just simply no way that a catastro somebody had to manually turn it off. and then we went on to talk about what that means, i'm going to play it in a minute. i want to bring in our panel, robert mark, who is a pilot, tom blank, a former tsa, deputy administrator, gentlemen, welcome to you all. rob mark, your thoughts on that statement. well, i know when i heard it a few moments ago, unless there is a system in the triple 7 that triggers a >> the pilot in command i really think it makes sense that the transponder could malfunction, but we still want the pilot in command to be able to communicate, as to what is going on, his whereabouts and be able to take some sort of evasive action. i think that makes good sense. >> this is the transponder highlighted. let me ask you, is it possible,

i've heard some pilots argue that the pilot needs to have the ability to turn off a transponder if he decides he is going to make a landing, pilots don't like to have the transponder on. so could it be as some argued there was an event right after the sign-off to air traffic control. they started to shut down systems to be cautious? they decided to turn so they could get to the nearest airport, and the only reason the transponder went off perhaps even at the hand of the pilot, was for safety? >> the transponder would be on during flight. the elt has the option to be shut off for a hard landing or something of a similar nature. but the transponder is generally on during the entire flight and it would only be turned off if the aircraft is on the gate, because the air traffic controllers would need to see a bunch of parked airplanes. so while the airplane is flying the transponder needs to be on at all times. >> if what they're telling, if

what boeing is telling our intel committee here in the united states, is that they believe this transponder was manually shut down, what does that say to you? >> it says to me it definitely was a deliberate act by either a perpetrator or one of the pilots themselves. there is no question the transponder should not have been shut off. it should have remained on. it definitely was a deliberate act, possibly by the perpetrators or the crew members. >> one of the suspicious things in this case was that the transponder went off two minutes, two minutes after "all right. good night." that is one of the arguments on the side of hijacking or something nefarious, because what are the odds that the catastrophic failure just happened to take place two minutes after they signed off from traffic control and when they got out of malaysian air space and into vietnam's air space? >> this does look like it is very much premeditated. somebody with a high degree of

a information on the aircraft. where they veered off course and took it to a destination unknown. so this falls into the category of i think really beginning to confirm that there was some sort of conspiracy that led to a cockpit breach, that led to this aircraft being commandeered. >> rob, if it is even possible for the pilot to turn off the transponder and boeing is coming out saying he had to do it, he may have done it. but maybe it is the lawyer in me, these things always wind up between the transportation and the airline. i don't mean to cast dispersions on boeing, but do we have to

take it with a grain of salt. >> what we're seeing in the last week alone we've seen the people line up on the hijacking side or the mechanical failure side. the suicide piece has almost pretty much disappeared. and honestly, i think that once people get that concept in their mind that this was the hijacking, i believe that someti sometimes you have cognitive dissonance where you start to make sure that every fact lines up with what you believe. i am not trying to cast dispersion dispersions. >> what side are you leaning on? >> well, i still am leaning that somebody got into the cockpit.

forces have not moved. a reported 20,000 troops remain posted on the ukrainian border. richard grinell, a fox news contributor, rick, unbelievable, so we have imposed sanctions on another 11 russians. and now they have imposed sanctions on nine americans. so harry reid and john boehner can't go to russia and some of their officials can't come here. meanwhile, god knows what is happening in the ukraine. >> yes, let's remember that president putin's aggression was a military response. and so far we've just done an economic response. i think it is really important to send a message to the ukrainians and the ukrainian government to be prepared that we would supply weapons. that is an appropriate response. when we're left to do sanctions, especially unilateral sanctions what the white house is not getting is that the only way that sanctions, especially banking ones can work is if

they're uniform and global. and right now they're not. so they're easily going to be kind of pushed aside by the russians. >> rather than saying that we are going to send weapons, never mind, you know, anything beyond weapons the president came out today, or yesterday and explicitly said we're not going to get into a military excursion in ukraine, we'll mobilize the diplomat sources. did he say too much in that message? >> well, i think he just said absolutely the wrong message. diplomacy 101 is to have a credible threat when you have a sort of negotiation. first of all we need diplomacy with muscle, but we also have to have a very real credible threat of u.s. military action. you know, the president has bought this idea and pushed forward the idea with the american people that international crises either mean that we have a war attitude or an ignore attitude. and i don't subscribe to that. i think there is a lot we can do

in the middle. but in order to make something very effective in the middle you have to maintain a credible threat. and he took it right off the table from the very beginning. >> good to see you, rick, we'll be right back. y human" plays ] huma. even when weross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why, at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy? an entirely new menu created with your busy schedule in mind. pronto lunch starting at $6.99. handmade italian sandwiches, flatbreads, and our signature soup and salad. starting at $6.99. and all served "pronto!" at olive garden. play in it. work in it. go wild in it.
