the civilian air traffic control. i want to put up a map of the region. you can see that flight path. it's that orange line from kuala lumpur to beijing, that's what the flight was supposed to be. authorities said they lost contact with the 777 along the line over the south china sea north of kuala lumpur. now the military is saying its military tracked the flight over the strait of malaka to the left of the orange line over that strip of green land there. that is a body of water on the left side of malaysia along the western coastline. the search for the 777 aircraft has expanded to include that body of water as well as the land itself. now, this morning police identified the two men traveling on stolen passports. both men from iran, one is there, 19-year-old eouria mhrdad, his ticket was purchased in thailand. his final destination was supposed to be frankfurt,

pinpoint where the plane may have hit the water, it's also diflt estimate how far it might have traveled after that. >> it can glide a long way under the water to a completely different location. they don't go straight down with the currents and a lot of other stuff it can cover a lot of distance before it settles. >> even if the black box is submerged it will emit a pinging so investigators can find it. the problem is the ping doesn't travel long distances so it's possible crews haven't gotten close enough yet. >> a follow-up for you, a fremont little league team rebuilding one more time after an intentionally set fire to one of its facilities. this is the burned out shell of what was the team's brand new score booth on the warm springs elementary school campus. it was built because the team's previous score booth burned down. the booth, a classroom at james leech elementary school and a

signatures from people who support saving the dome. tonight san jose's historic landmarks will look and provide comments for the state historical resources commission which meets on april 22nd. the ultimate goal is to designate this theater a national historical landmark but even if that does happen that does not guarantee that this theater will still not be attorney do torn down. >> amazing what property prices have done with an san that row. >> a lot of people for more real estate or parking. >> there you go. meteorologist christina loren joins us with some temperatures. look at the day's temps. good morning. >> yeah, we are finding a parking spot is going to be comfortable the next couple days. a warming trend headed our way starting today kick in in high gear the end of the week. in the upcoming weekend you'll

navy sent a couple of destroyers to the region to help. they have helicopters on board to help with the search and hopefully rescue effort, at least a recovery effort if nothing else. we've also sent a surveillance aircraft to try to help with what is now a widening search in that area because there was so much fuel on the plane they really aren't sure what area to pinpoint. so that's going on from the military standpoint. we've also sent investigators in to help. the faa has a couple of people already on the ground in malaysia, as of yesterday also the ntsb that investigates these types of incidents in the united states, they have sent people to malaysia, so at least four investigators that are helping out with the effort there. the fbi is also involved. they were looking at the fingerprints of those two people who got on board with stolen passports, now it's looking more and more like those two people
