be trhrunched when watching bil o'reilly. the spin stops here, we're definitely looking out for you. it has turned into one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time, the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370 with 239 souls on board. welcome to "the kelly file" report. the questions we have answered and the riddles that remain. our story starts with the news of the missing plane first breaking on "the kelly file" friday, march 7th, early saturday morning malaysia time. fox news alert, we have breaking news tonight on a missing commercial jet.

>> we learned the plane left kuala lumpur and never arrived at its destination. worried families worried about their loved ones, see delayed on the airport screens. soon it was revealed that two stolen passports were used by passengers on board the plane. that debate sparking real interest that this may not have been an accident. the airline calls in a recovery team fearing the worst but saying quote, we are not ruling anything out. meanwhile, airline official scott brenner tells us one thing. >> one of the things we've seen in some of the newer aircraft, they are constantly connected with all of their important data. constantly being communicated to their home base. >> by sunday, march 9th, reports surfaced that the plane may have turned around heading not northeast but southwest to the indian ocean. but the search still continues

off malaysia's east coast. the monday after the disappearance, the new york times reports the search area is expanding. there is wide speculation over the aircraft's fate. a character named mr. ali emerges, an iranian who paid for the journeys of the men with the stolen passports. the one-way tickets were bought last minute and paid for with cash. the possibly of a hijacking is seriously considered. and experts tell us they suspect foul play. >> i think it was foul play, the 777 is such a reliable airplane. i can't imagine that there was some sort of structural malfunction that was enough to bring this airplane down. >> reporter: the men with the stolen passports are identified as iranian nationals but authorities discount any links to terrorism. suggesting their goal was to emigrate to europe. this, as we learn about the plane's curious track. >> the new twist in the missing

malaysia airlines jet that seemingly disappeared into thin air with 239 people on board. a high-ranking military official and the ones conducting the investigation is now confirming flight 370 went hundreds of miles off course before it went off radar. conflicting information continues to come from the malaysians. >> is there any chance, mike, these were confused pilots. i don't know what may have happened to shut off the transponder. but they thought when they made the u-turn, the direction that they were going -- >> there was something that caused the airplane to turn and go south. >> day five, a wednesday, we learn the final words from the cockpit were seemingly calm, all right, good night. no may day call was ever issued. concern grows that this was deliberate. >> i think as the ci director

bri brennan has stated you cannot rule out terrorism at this point. >> then, the chinese release two satellite images of what they suggest may be pieces of the wreckage. they appear off malaysia's east coast, the very next day the lead falls apart. >> new reports tonight that the plane's communication system was shut down manually. and not because of catastrophic failure. also, "the wall street journal" is now reporting that this plane, this is the new information, flew up to five hours, five hours after communications went dark. u.s. investigators are now reportedly looking into the possibility that it was diverted to a secret location. the chinese later admit their satellite images were a false alarm. by now, almost a week has passed. and then? >> at the end of the day what you have is a plane that was going erratically in different directions and was going up and

down in the ways that the plane was obviously not supposed to. this raises the question, who was controlling the plane, was it somebody who didn't know how to fly a plane? >> attention increases on the pilots, their homes are searched. suspicions grow that the aircraft may be hidden somewhere. >> i believe definitely it landed someplace, megyn, that, i do not know. i would look at all air fields, 7500 feet in length with a large ha hangar in pakistan and eastern iran. >> by saturday, malaysia declares this is a criminal matter. >> this movement is consistent with deliberate actions by someone on the plane. >> in a bombshell development, it emerges that the plane was

detected by satellite hours after it appeared, nearly eight hours after takeoff and several hours after air traffic control lost sign of the aircraft. by still no answers as to where it was going or why. the search has expanded to a daunting area off malaysia's west coast, sunday, march 16th. authorities claim that the plane's communication system known as acars was disabled before the pilot's last words to traffic control. leading to questions why they didn't report this to control. that same day, malaysia's government reveals the captain's personal flight simulator is being examined. and by the next day? >> you're not missing anything. >> we learned it was the co-pilot who said the final words of the flight, low temperatutemp all right, good night. >> according to federal

officials involved in the investigation, they say in the first 26 minutes of the flight the pilots were already changing the flight path. so what we originally thought the plane had gone up, flying the original course to beijing then signing off with air traffic control and then making the westerly turn, we now know within the first 26 minutes they had re-programmed the flight plan and were already starting to turn west far before they even signed off with air traffic control. >> so the pilots had intentionally changed their path, but the reason why remains a mystery. malaysian authorities reveals the plane's acars system could have been shut down between 1:27 and 1:37 a.m., not necessarily before the co-pilot signed off. the search area is now more than 230 square nautical miles. the files were deleted from the

captain's flight simulators. but what files and why? the fbi steps in to help as the families of the missing reach a breaking point. on thursday, march 20th. potentially big news from australia whose prime minister says satellites have spotted debris off the australia west coast that may belong to the missing plane. this lines up with the southern path identified as one possible route for the plane. two large objects are spotted from the skies. but not by initial searchers who head to the spot. officials underscore it could be unrelated to this plane. so an international effort to find this plane is focused on the southern indian ocean. but figuring out where 370 came to rest does not answer the why or the how. just ahead, the unavoidable questions about the two men flying this jet. what we know and what we do not. >> hi, everyone, this is a video that i made as a community service.

>> plus, was this a hijacking? an act of terror or something else? our panel of pilots and investigators and insiders from the intel community all ahead on the mystery of flight 370. don't go away. ...return on investment wall isn't a street... isn't the only return i'm looking forward to... for some, every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal.

at first, flight 370 was just delayed. then missing, then feared crashed. but a fourth idea started to take hold within 24 hours of takeoff that this plane had been hijacked. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has been tracking that story from washington. >> reporter: megyn, within hours of the jet's disappearance, the authorities focused on two passengers purchasing tickets through an iranian man. intelligence officials emphasize that while the men's profiles were run through multiple data bases no positive hits for terrorism were found. it was later determined that at least one of the iranians was meeting his mother in germany. while all passengers' backgrounds were scrubbed for flight training, malaysian investigators were not ruling anything out. >> we are looking into four areas. one, the hijacking. >> u.s. officials were also open to the possibility of terrorism.

>> we know that there are terrorist groups that are still determined to carry out attacks including against -- especially against aircraft. >> days later the malaysian government was quick to downplay hijacking reports. >> despite the media reports that the plane was hijacked i wish to be very clear. we are still investigating four possibilities as to what caused mh-370 to deviate from its original flight plan. >> malaysian investigators refocused their efforts on the aircraft pilots with the fbi getting deeply involved. >> we are working with the authorities in malaysia. we're trying to offer whatever assistance that we can. but at this point i don't think we have any theories that i

could propound. >> withdraw dramatic aircraft changes within the plane, passengers could have taken control. >> with a mid-air struggle with passengers and crew, those carrying out the plot. >> once the wreckage and presumably the black boxes are found, investigators will determine whether or not flight 370 was done by a criminal act or other reasons. and fox news aviation analyst and consultant for boyd group national, and peter brooks is a former defense secretary, and philip hollow way is a licensed flight instructor. peter, in light of the recent developments along australia, many say it is consistent with the flight path that would have gone on auto pilot and gone

straight to an airport, do you believe that hijacking is diminished? >> well, the other possibility whoever took control of the aircraft didn't want the aircraft to be found. upda and put it in a place that was very inhospitable to recovery action or search actions. i am not ruling any of those above out at this point. >> mike, same question to you. >> absolutely, we don't know anything yet. all we know is that the airplane disappeared. at this point in time there are plausible arguments that it could have been a zombie airplane, that something went wrong in the cockpit. but there is a lot of other information coming out, misinformation from the malaysians that would make something kind of rotten in kuala lumpur, that this could have been a planned attack. >> and by zombie aircraft you mean they were flying

incapacitated, much like in the payne stewart airplane. many pilots have said don't throw these pilots under the bus, because these may have been heroes, not villains who were struggling to save this plane from mechanical failure. and that may explain you know the coordinates typed in to get to an alternate airport, and then just the continuation down south winding up someplace west of australia. >> well, you know, megyn, i'm not ready to throw anybody under the bus at this point. however, in addition to being a pilot i've been a criminal lawyer for the last 18 years. and what i know is the proper investigation begins with ascertaining the facts. and unfortunately to me, the facts suggest this was a crime, this was a hijacking. the one key fact and i think you broke it first a couple of nights ago was that the aircraft made a dramatic turn to the west and it made that turn prior to the co-pilot making his last

transmission to air traffic control. and at that point, the transponders went off and that suggests hijacking. >> that is a key point, and scott brenner, who is a former faa official, who was at the faa on 9/11, broke that news here. we questioned it that very night, mike, because they were saying look, the transponder tracks the plane and it doesn't match up. the ascertainable assertion doesn't line up. we don't know it for sure. what we do know is that a destination that was west and not on the plane's original journey was programmed in prior to when they signed off from air traffic control. but i'm not sure what we can glean from that. >> well, we do know that they did not put 7700 into the transponder, which was emergency code, or the hijack code.

they put nothing in there except it was turned off. so again it has to lead one to the inference that it was a human involvement in this and it has to be a hijacking or a stolen aircraft. >> mike? >> no, i have to agree entirely. and for safety's sake we have to assume that going forward if someone has this airplane, and that is a real stretch and wants to do something with it, sometime in the next 12 months they may do something with it, we need to look into those options. but i have to agree with the lawyer. it doesn't look good. we can make excuses, but there are too many points here that just don't add up. >> peter brooks, we had general mcinerney suggesting it could go to pakistan, and that that is where we need to be looking. your thoughts on that. >> tom is a friend of mine and i understand his theory there. and what gives some plausibility to it, i would like to know

where israel has reacted so strongly to the disappearance of this aircraft. i can't add anymore to what tom has told us, based upon he has the sources. but a few nights ago we talked about how israel is very concerned and putting their air traffic controllers and air defense systems on high alert. so what do they know that the rest of us do not know, if anything, about this aircraft. >> and a lot of officials on the broadcast have told us even off the air that they believe the american officials probably know much more than they're letting on no matter what that information leads to, mechanical issues, terrorism issues, what have you. gentlemen, thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> well, so many air disasters are eventually blamed on pilot error, but what if this one is different? what about the suggestion that these pilots may have intended to cause harm? that it was not an error. it was planned. up next, what we have uncovered

about the two men in the cockpit. and then, the search is now unfolding more than a thousand miles from anywhere. so what does it mean for our mystery? we'll look for answers when this kelly file special returns.

. welcome back, whatever happened on board this missing jetliner, there is one thing that didn't happen. there was not a single warning, not a radio call, not an

emergency beacon, no may day call. no sign of trouble. and that has resulted in a number of questions about these two men. william la jeunesse takes a look at what we've learned about the captain, the ceo pilot and what was happening in that cockpit. >> megyn, one plane, 239 lives, depending on the character, judgment and expertise of these pilots. deliberate or accident? what happened on flight 370 will always reflect on what these two men did or did not do. 53-year-old captain zaharie shah, 18,000 hours of experience, he also built a home flight simulator police later seized through files deleted on february 3rd. reports show he could have do this to steal the plane, or just simply cleaned his computer.

shah is also suspect for his politics. just hours from he took control of flight 370 the government sentenced distant relative anwar ibrahim to jail. to some, nothing, to others a motive. >> this leads to the pilot himself and co-pilot. >> also, hamid fariq, who just graduated to the 777. it is his voice last heard before the plane disappears. this photo shows him inviting two women into the cockpit for an hour of smoking and flirting. one called the encounter friendly but sleazy. >> he took her hands and said you're a creative person. >> malaysia airlines say the two pilots did not request to fly together, which suggests if this was a deliberate act one pilot

would have to incapacitate the other. history shows it would not be the first time a lone wolf pulled off a mass murder. back to our panel, fox news aviation analyst, former commercial jet pilot and former instructor, good to see you both back. so the lack of a may day call, kathleen, that is the point on which so much people who want to give the pilots the benefit of the doubt get hung up on. your thoughts on it? >> i don't get hung up on it at all. i can tell you as a former airline pilot and instructor i don't really find this that unusual, because as everyone knows watching the news in the past few days, there is an old saw. first you aviate, then fly the plane, then navigate. if you have time, you communicate. i think potentially what happened was so sudden and so catastrophic that they didn't have time to react and to actually make that call.

>> but walk us through that. as a lay person you say how can you not have time to press a button and say may day. >> we do know there was a very good chance the captain was at the controls, when pilots fly, one tends to be at the controls, and the pilot not flying, in this case probably made the radio call. what would be askiinteresting t find out ahead of time possibly through air traffic control tapes, i would be very interested to know if we heard the captain's voice at all once they took off. the captain would be on the radio on the ground. but if the captain was on air when they're flying from kuala lumpur to beijing and then suddenly we hear that last call from the co-pilot there is a very good chance what that would mean is that there was an in-flight problem or emergency. and something like that, in a crisis what a captain might say is you have the airplane, i'm going to work the problem and you have the radios. so i would really like to hear the air traffic control tapes and see possibly if the captain

had been on the radio earlier. >> and this is just from one source, the captain had not been on the radio on this airplane journey but that needs to be confirmed by more people. mike, your thoughts on it. the absence of the may day calls, a lot of people speculated on it. in the zombie flight in the past, everybody was flying, no one was flying the aircraft, there was not a may day call in that situation either. >> no. >> was because it was as the can't just mentioned a catastrophic that took the crew out. >> and it flew for several hours before it crashed. >> absolutely, that could be the case here, no question. again, the question was, was the airplane turned by the pilot? was it turned by the navigation system? those are all open questions. there are a lot of plausible answers here, i still smell something. one of the things that bothers me the assumption, the trajectory that the airplane was making last time contact was

made with it was one they would keep. if it was a hijacked airplane and we didn't know where it was after that last contact that could have been taking back up north, south, east or west. and that really complicates the matter. >> uh-huh so something could have gone wrong by that point. no history of extremism in either backgrounds as far as we can tell. everybody who knows them, they're good guys, no history of problems, they love their airlines and love to fly planes. >> yeah, all we can find out is the captain has been a pilot for 30 years. all right, the young guy had two girls in the cockpit, he is a red-blooded 20-year-old, his technique was not very good. but there is really nothing it we know about these two guys. >> and the pilot's wife had just left him according to some reports. thank you both. >> thank you, megyn. well, whatever happened to this plane searchers focus a lot of their attention more than

this is a fox news alert from our washington news room, i'm shannon bream, several aircraft are now in the air heading to the southern indian ocean to continue the search for the missing flight 370. the first two days were severe weather, but the weather is improving. they well focus on visual sightings while the military aircrafts will use spotters. they were spotted more than 1500 miles from perth. two merchant ships are in the area and china is sending two planes to assist. earlier, london's the tell--

tele te te tele graph reported nothing. now, we'll take you back to megyn kelly on "the kelly file." you're watching fox news channel. welcome back to our kelly file fox news report on the missing flight 370. the southern indian ocean is stormy, fierce and hard to reach. that is just the beginning of this challenge. trace gallagher has that report. >> and megyn, the reason they're focusing so heavily on the southern indian ocean is there is no confirmed radar from any country that indicates that flight 370 continued to fly on a northward path. there is indication that the

plane flew southwest. but finding debris could be part of the monumental search, first, experts will use mathematical models of wind and currents to see how far the debris drifted. when they agree on a general system, the sonar will be dropped to locate the transmitters. but the pings can only be detected from a mile away and the batteries only last 30 days. that means they will send man or unmanned subs, but the plane could be 12,000 feet deep about the same as titanic or the air france plane that crashed back in 2009. the crash debris was found in five days but it took two years and $100 million to recover the black boxes. add to that the indian ocean is known for underwater volcanos, earthquakes and landslides. and if you have lava or mud on the wreckage, megyn, the odds

are even lower. >> oh, good gracious, thank you. we'll turn to our experts, dr. alan deal is an air force investigator. shawn pernicke used to be a commercial pilot, and captain chuck nash is a fox news contributor. general, good to see you all. let me start with you, dr. deal, the thought of going two and a half to three miles under the ocean to try to find bits and pieces that may or may not be there seems overwhelming. how do they start? >> well, that -- you're right, megyn, we've done it before. in the west end ocean we found a 747 south african air ways lost one back in '87. took them two years and they knew roughly where the aircraft was, but still they didn't get to it while the pingers were still operational. took them two years, they got

one of the black boxes up and it answered the riddle. >> they call this body of ocean the roaring 40s because the seas are just so overwhelming. they talk about the seas getting sometimes up over 32 feet high. how are they even supposed to search out there? >> well, you're exactly right, extremely challenging, very adverse conditions, right? so part of this is using gps technology which is something that is far more accessible now than in some of the past investigations. some of the other guests have talked about. but using that technology with known search patterns, that these folks are trained to do this. they know how to do this. but that still doesn't negate the size of the task at hand, just a tremendous volume cover to cover. >> captain nash, once they're down there they can use binoculars, infrared cameras,

spotting things up to two miles away. do you feel confident if something is there they will find it? >> it is going to be very difficult, megyn, and the sea state you pointed out with 32-foot waves, what you have there are essentially little 32-foot rolling hills that radar won't penetrate. so if you have something in the trough of a wave and it is what your looking at. it suddenly pops on top of the wave and disappear s again and you're sweeping out the radar, it can make it very difficult. even though you're looking out the radar at the right time you're still looking through a soda straw, and the wave takes it and it is gone. >> the experts like you would get together and do maps. they would figure out the currents and know where to look, we assume. but that is when you know generally where the plane descended. >> obviously, once we establish whether or not these debris on

top of the water are part of the aircraft, then we know where to start. but you know, we have talked about a needle in the hay stack. right now we're looking at a needle in nebraska. we may find a needle in a hay field but once we find the hay stack then i'm quite confident if we do it in the next few weeks, when the pingers are operational we'll be able to find it particularly if the navy sends a fleet of their p-3 orions to the area. we have a fleet. we have 150 of those aircraft in the inventory. we could get dozens of those to that area. a couple dozen anyway quickly. >> you know, sean, we have been told that we have 29 vessels out there searching and that 25 of them are pursuing this southern arc, four, the northern. certainly seems those in the know much more so than we all know, believes the plane went to the south. >> i think you're right, based

on the data we have now, megyn, we have to go on what we have. and as little as it is, it certainly points to this area. and i think this is where the investigation needs to focus. >> captain nash, for those watching, hopes high, hopes not so high? >> i don't think they would be spending the time bringing the prime minister of australia to a news conference to talk about this evidence or this debris that they found and to be concentrating on what is such a desolate part of the planet. they're looking for a particularly thing there, something that led them there. and my hopes are up. >> we are in the most isolated part of the world, he said. gentlemen, thank you. well, the relatives of those on board the plane have had a roller coaster ride of heartbreak, anger and suspicion as they question how the malaysian government has handled

this thing from the start. that part of the investigation is next. >> that is one of the family members, she has been shoved to the floor and can't move. 239 members on board that aircraft. these two ladies had loved ones on board. for the last 12 days they have been given no information whatsoever. people are swarming over -- being shoved by the authorities. the women are trying to stand up. i am going to try to stay out of the way while i'm still reporting for you. they are literally shoving people out of the way.

they described outside officials dragged out the relative who was protesting about how this investigation was handled. and complaints about this probe have been heard around the world. mark dunbrof is a former faa attorney, gentlemen, good to see you all. i spoke with the senior executive of inmarsat, who tracked this plane. they knew it two days later. they told the malaysian authorities wednesday after the plane went missing. and yet still, malaysia allowed the focus to be on the east coast of malaysia and didn't even come out until three, four, almost five days later to say oh, we should be searching on the west coast, not the east coast. i mean, is that incompetent, peter, or is that something worse than incompetence? >> megyn, there are a lot of things at play here. first you have to remember the

aircraft is a national airlines, the government is responsible for it. our expectations are so very high because we're so blessed with having such terrific law enforcement and intelligence and public relations skills here in the united states. my view is that in some cases, i don't know this. but my sense is that this tragedy, if it is a tragedy as we believe it is now, exceeded the capacity of the malaysian government to deal with it. so i'm not sure there was any malevolen malevolence, or malfeasance, it is just different culturally here. >> you know, i left out a third idea, good old fashioned responsibility. because the same satellite communications executive said look, they wanted to run down leads. it is not a smoking gun, they

didn't want to get everybody engaged on every coast before they knew something was wrong, that is one thing the malaysian government has done that concerns people. >> i think, megyn, the flow of information has been very troubling in terms of its speed or lack of speed. but also the fact that they haven't really provided, it seems, reliable information. i think it is very difficult because the facts are simply not there yet. the malaysian government in many respects is sitting and waiting as it relates to the location of the airplane. certainly the investigation has started but it is very difficult to investigate an aircraft accident until you locate the aircraft. >> how much frustration do you think is borne of that, that tragedy has struck and there are no answers to give? >> i think you have put your finger on it in terms of the scenes we've seen with the families. i have handled many, many airline accidents on behalf of the airlines. the number one thing that the families want, the number one

thing is information. and the airlines that we represent, i represent are very sophisticated in dealing with these sorts of situations. they train very hard. malaysia airlines has procedures for this sort of thing. but the families want information. and that information doesn't come from the airline, megyn, it comes from the investigators and the investigators are in fact the malaysian government. >> mike, you have to imagine how terrible it is for these families. one day it is hijacking, the next day it is catastrophic mechanical failure. the next day could be terrorism. one day the chinese are saying it is here, the next day the australians say we think it is here. and in the meantime, we get this report out of australia in the ocean, it is the most isolated place in the world, with the seas, and you have to sit and wonder about your loved one. >> yes, the anguish must be intolerable for these people.
