we'll be back live 7:25. >> news at 11:00 as well. good morning. mounting confusion, frustration and anger over conflicting reports over the direction malasia 370 was heading moments before it disappeared from radar, as hundreds of thousands of people go online around the world to help the 5-day-old search. spy games, new questions this morning over whether the cia spied on congress. as a federal investigation is launched, will president obama stand by the agency's top man, john brennan? "today" exclusive, jerry sandusky's wife, dottie, speaks out for the first time about her husband's conviction for child sex abuse and what she says motivated his accusers.

>> i think they were manipulated. once lawyers came into the case, they said there was money. and scene of the crime, new drama at oscar pistorius' murder trial as prosecutors recreate where the shooting took place "today," wednesday, march 12, 2014. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning. welcome to "today" on this wednesday morning. >> morning, everybody. what a mystery and it just seems to demon with the day and with the hour. >> yeah, that's right. this malaysian air flight 370 is once again our top story. some new developments in the search for that missing jetliner. malaysian authorities have again expanded the search area around where they say the plane may have been last picked up on military radar. nbc's tom cost tell slow monitoring it all for us. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning.

this is confusion. the malaysian military still isn't sure whether this is the area in the top left, the upper northwest quadrant here, if that's the area where the plane was last seen, near the island of palau per rack. look at the yellow line here, the course for the flight, headed out over malasia, out over the south china sea toward vietnam. they believe it doubled back, as reflected in red here, coming back over malaysia, back toward the strait of malaka and it disappeared. now, the indian navy offering to help search for the plane in this area, in the northwest. that's the andaman sea. as america wakes up this morning, a fifth day of searching is coming to an end in southeast asia. the search zone expanded to include both the malaysian east and west coast, amid reports from the malaysian military that the plane may have doubled back with a sharp left turn, headed toward the indian ocean. but who was in command? still no sign of malaysia airlines flight 370. malaysian authorities provided an update just a short time ago

>> this is unprecedented, what we are going through, coordinating so many countries together. it's not something that is easy and each time that passes, i fear that this search and rescue becomes just a search. but we will never give up hope. >> reporter: the search zone has been expanded to a 27,000-square-nautical-mile area. it wasn't until day five of the search for the missing air france plane in 2009 that searchers first spotted floating pieces in the water. >> but when you get out there on board a ship, the world becomes very large, that ocean does. and the plane becomes very small. >> reporter: david gal slow with the woods hold team that used remotely operated streaks find the actual air france wreckage two years after it crashed. finding the malaysia airlines plane, he says, seems like an even bigger challenge. >> we are at the very beginning of what might be a very long process. and in the sense, haven't even taken the first step of knowing

that we are looking under the sea for this plane. >> reporter: meanwhile, a colorado company has deployed two of its high-resolution satellites over the search area, taking photographs and asking anyone online to help search for any signs of the plane. >> instead of having one analyst looking at the whole image, we will split it up into little chunks and put it online and we asked for people to help us identify these areas that look anomalous or look like damaged aircraft or wreckage. >> reporter: already, more than half a million people have looked at the images, tagging anything that looks like a clue. so many, the website has crashed. now the theories of what happened to this plane include a catastrophic malfunction, an in-flight breakup, a hijacking, a suicide attack, something with the crew, but to prove any of those theories, they have to find the plane. savannah? >> tom costello, thank you so much. greg fife is a former investigator with the ntsb. greg, good morning. we need a detective today. let's talk about this path. now we are hearing from malaysian authorities that

perhaps military aircraft picked up a signal, obviously, we lost the transponder there and the signal is picked up and then lost right here. first of all, what does this turn, the trajectory of this turn, tell you? >> well, based on this particular turn, it is a planned turn. this is an intentional event. this wasn't an airplane that had a -- any kind of mechanical problem and the airplane turned and then flew this straight course. so, this was somebody making this turn. >> is it fishy that this turn occurs just about the point that civilian radar is going to be lost? >> that's one thing, as an investigator, that's very curious, 'cause you're right at the edge of the radar point here and then as the airplane trans -- flies over to this point, that answers the edge of that military radar coverage as well. >> we are talking about civilian radar, military radar. they are not equal. they are different. civilian will actually tell you what the flight is. military radar seems to be a cruder reading? >> the civilian radar is interrogating you the transpond they're we have been talking about that gives specific

information about the altitude and the speed of the aircraft. the military radar in this case is just a primary, that is, it's a skin paint. so it sends a signal out, reflects off the airplane, comes back, but has no particular data to t. it can't say particularly that this was even flight 370. >> can't even tell you what kind of aircraft it is, whether it's a helicopter or an airplane it just says there is a target out there here it is but doesn't give you altitude or air speed. >> is it strange there wouldn't be civilian coverage in this area as it crosses over the peninsu peninsula? >> coverage is scant and non-existent that's why we have mandatory reporting points for pilots. so, when they get a spot, they will report to atc, this is where i am, how high i am and when i expect to be at my next point that's how atc tracks them. >> we have another map that shows the search area. i should say yesterday, it was 10,000 square miles. today, it is 35,000 square miles. you raise an interesting point before you came on. just because we lose contact with this craft around here

doesn't mean it landed there or crashed there. it could have kept flying for how long? >> oh it could have kept flying for another three, four, five hours. we don't know exactly how much fuel was on the airplane, but if they are saying seven hours, this turn, as you go outbound and then come back is about two and a half hours so that means really, you have another five hours of fuel. so, that airplane could have kept going out well into the indian ocean. >> before let you go, is it conceivable in this day and able with all of our technology, that a men could simply vanish and never be found? >> an airplane the size of a 777 doesn't just vanish. it's probable that -- i mean, it's possible that it could possibly disappear and be hidden and it would take a long time, but it's not very probable. they are going to find this airplane eventually. >> greg fife, always good to get your expertise. thank you. >> welcome. savannah, thanks very much a bitter war of words heating up between congress and the cia. did the intelligence agency actually spy on a congressional investigation? nbc's andrea mitchell has the

latest on the fallout from this. andrea, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. and there is a lot of fallout, matt. today, the justice department is investigating possible law breaking by both the senate and the cia after those explosive charges from senate democrats that the cia is spying on congress and a fierce rebuttal from the spy agency. now accuse the senators of taking secret cia documents. it's a clash right out of "homeland." an explosive washington battle, senate intelligence chair, dianne feinstein, on the senate floor, firing you the verbal equivalent of a predator drone against the cia. >> the cia just went and searched the committee's computers. >> reporter: target, john brennan, one of president obama's closest advisers, career cia, now the cia director. but under president george w. bush, brennan helped run the cia's secret prizeness and the so-called enhance interrogation techniques, widely viewed as torture. feinstein accused the cia of

trying to hide evidence of those past abuses by hacking into senate intelligence committee computers, possibly to soft an critical report on brennan's former policies. >> i believe it is critical that the committee and the senate reaffirm our oversight role and our independence. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with nbc news, brennan denied interfering with the senate investigation. >> we weren't trying to block anything. and the matter is being dealt with in the appropriate way. >> reporter: brennan is also firing back at the senate. in this letter obtained by nbc news, he accuses senate staff of improperly taking sensitive documents from the cia. brennan wrote, "it is imperative to learn whether or not a breach or a vulnerability exists." a former cia chief of staff defends brennan. how account senate oversee the cia if the cia is going to be spyinging on the senate investigation? >> the cia had no interest in spying on congress. what the cia wanted to ensure was that its computer system hadn't been breached.

>> reporter: president obama dismantled the bush era interrogation program but his confidence in brennan is very clear. so far, the white house is standing firmly by the cia chief. matt and savannah? >> thanks, but not the last we will hear of that story, by a long shot. >> all right. andrea, thank you. natalie is following some tough new scrutiny on general motors related to that recall. >> that's right. a lot of questions this morning what did general motors officials know, when did this it know it and why didn't the car company do anything about it? some of the many questions the justice department has now as it has opened a criminal investigation on gm's handling of that deadly ignition switch problem in some of its most popular cars. nbc's pete williams is in washington, d.c. with the very latest. good morning, pete. >> reporter: good morning. the justice department will be looking into what gm did after it discovered this potential safety issue. s here the question. did it violate a federal law that requires carmakers to report such problems to the government promptly? gm sent out recall notices last month for more than 1.5 million

older model compact cars, including pontiac g 5s and chevy cobalts it said the ignition switches can shut off suddenly while a car is moving. when that happens, the power steering quits working, the brakes are less effective and air bags may not inflate much the problem is suspected in 31 crashes that led to 13 deaths. investigators want to know why gm waited so long after apparently first learning of the potential problem as long as ten years ago. federal safety regulators already looking into the issue. >> the government not only is demanding documents that would show what gm knew and when, but they are also saying, give us the names of the engineers and the executives that were responsible for this decision. >> reporter: gm is also conducting its own internal investigation. and now, congress is asking for records from the company and the regulators. gm says it's cooperating, natalie. >> all right, pete williams in washington, thanks so much. president obama will meet

today with ukrainian prime minister to talk about that country's future. meantime, the house of representatives has officially condemned russia's action in ukraine. the bill passed overwhelmingly last night and it calls on russia to remove its forces and calls on the obama administration to work with european allies to impose economic sanctions. and a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll finds president obama's job approval rating's at an all-time low, just 41% say they approve. that is down though from 43% in january. and with congressional elections just eight months away, republicans have the edge among those polled. 44% say they would rather have a republican-controlled congress. democrats got 43%. and when it comes to russia, a record 72% of americans now see russia as an adversary rather than an ally. meanwhile, a congressional district in florida that has been in republican control for 42 years will remain in the gop column. republican lobbyist david jolly

[ screaming ] >> a former new york taxi driver and comedian in trouble with city taxi regulators for this prarng that he has been pulling on unsuspecting new yorkers. he picks up passengers, points the live python in their direction and then records their

fortunately, 129 hours it was 66 degrees, worked out great for any new york city but i want to put the snow in chicago in per spec div for you, maybe something we can all stomach this morning. giordano's has given us 75 1/2 inches worth of pizza boxes to represent the 75 1/2 inches worth of snow we have picked up here officially in chicago this winter. all we need is another couple of inches to crack the top three snowiest winters of all time. and with about three to four inches of snow expected out of this storm, we should crack that top three. now, it's hard to believe it was 50 degrees here in chicago yesterday. this all started off as rain, but around midnight, it switched over to snow. and actually came down at rates of around one to two inches per hour. there is a ground delay program in effect right now at chicago's o'hare airport. and arriving flights are delayed at least two hours at this time. now, again, when i left new york yesterday, it was about 66 degrees and this storm, al, is going to work in some serious cold. is it true that it could be 40

degrees colder when/if i ever return back home? >> it is actually, in fact, true. now that we are using pizza as our measuring stick for snow, are we using deep dish or thin crust? >> reporter: oh, this is deep dish. i was told there is pizza in at least one of these boxes. i've never had chicago pizza before. >> good luck go for it i would have opted for a warmer one, but that's okay. dylan dryer, thanks so much. so, what happens with vulcan as this moves along? about 36 million people affected by this from peoria all the way to caribou, where we have blizzard warnings, winter storm warnings, winter storm watches as well with this system. in fact, you can see on the radar right now, we have got rain and we've got snow. so, in the warm sector, cincinnati right now, 50 degrees. you go to detroit, it's 30. chicago currently, 29 degrees. and in fact, you move a little further to the west -- to the east, i should say, buffalo right now, rain, snow in detroit. it's going to continue, as the low pressure makes its way to the east. one to two inches per hour in

upstate new york, northern new england. plus, looking the some decent icing, up to a tenth of an inch from northern pennsylvania on into central new england. as we get into wednesday night, gusts of 50 to 60 miles per hour in new england. and strong winds. we have got blizzard conditions possibly really cold, wind chills below zero. and look at these snowfall amounts over the next 48 hours from bangor, maine, on into central new york. we are talking about 18 to 24 inches of snow. we are going to get [ male announcer ] if your kitchen could study you, what would it learn? what improvements would it make? at ge, you've inspired us to reimagine the kitchen. with innovations like the first dishwasher featuring 102 spray jets. the kitchen is now thinking -- more like you. and...stop. no? nothing?

we are midway through our documentary. and i remain at the hospital, three miles from the syrian border, where people continue to stream across the border and into this hospital for medical care. it is business as usual down here in the emergency department, but upstairs lebanese doctors are working very hard to save syria's tiniest refugees. today began with rounds and checking up on the babies we met tuesday. are you better today? we start with a case that everyone here is talking about. navine, 19 months old and suffering from a polio-like illness. it's been a tough 48 hours for her mother, fatma. yesterday officials from the world health organization descended here to examine the baby. it will be a few more days before test results are in. and yet one question is haunting

her -- >> she asked if the baby is going to walk again? >> reporter: i don't know. then we meet chief of pediatrics, dr. hyder, making his own rounds, at the first of six hospitals he will visit today. may we go into the icu and see the babies? the first patient on our list, the surviving twin girl born yesterday to an 18-year-old syrian refugee mother. so, she must weigh 4 1/2 pounds and be eating by mouth and then she can go home? >> yes. >> reporter: but otherwise healthy? >> healthy. >> reporter: and then a patient we met tuesday during our live web cast from this neonatal intensive care unit. transposition of the vessels means the heart has the plumbing going backwards. this morning the update is encouraging. at what point is this baby ready to go home? >> he will go home in two days. he's better. >> reporter: and for this baby, it's the simple signs that he is on the right track.

>> that's a good sign. >> reporter: these babies will join almost 38,000 syrian children who were born as refugees outside of their own country. and while life is tough here and the refugee camps are dismal, these babies have one thing to do, matt, and that is to get well. back to you. >> absolutely. and we hope they do, nancy. thank you very much. and, again, you can follow along as we continue to cover this crisis real time all day on nbcnews.com and tonight on "nightly news." tonight bill neely talks about the kids scarred by disease. today is an important date in history. do you know what it is? >> i do. 25th creation of the worldwide web. >> also barbara feldon's birthday. >> worldwide web, 25 today. probably the most interesting note about today, the 25th anniversary of the worldwide

web, there is a clear distinction between the web and the internet. here's the internet, which is a global system of interconnected computer network developed in the '60s. inside of the internet we have the worldwide web, which is an information system on the internet. best described in this analogy. if the internet were a restaurant, the worldwide web would be the most popular dish. it's the pulled pork of the net, if you will. here's the pew research center, 46% said in honor of the 25th anniversary, internet would be the most difficult technology to go without, cell phone second, tv third. we thought that was interesting. friends of today told us a bunch of cool things. we'll tweet that out using #orangeroom. matt lauer says, for me it's a double-edged sword. on the one hand the web makes me feel young and connected. on the other hand it makes me

feel old. would you like to comment on that? >> for me it's not the 25th anniversary. it's like the 10th anniversary. >> technology makes you feel, old. depends how much time i spend trouble-shooting with the i.t. department. shifting gears. the murder scene at the murder trial of oscar pistorius. could it help the olympic sprinter's case? jerry sandusky's wife, dottie, opens up about her husband's sex abuse case. a case she claims was built on lies. >> the biggest lie? that we're monsters. that i'm a liar. that, you know, jerry is the person that he is. is he innocent. >> our exclusive interview with dottie sandusky. she'll take us inside the basement where some of her accusers say the abuse took place.

4-year-old girl from a gas station in the car that he took. the suspect carjacked two separate vehicles during the chase. 15 minutes ago, officers managed to track him down and arrest him. >> good morning to you. we have some really fierce wind out there this morning. we are expecting the wind to drop off throughout the day. where you see hot pink, that's dangerous wind for morning drive. watch out for debris, branches. 31 miles per hour, down from 33 peninsula 20 minutes ago. we'll lose some of the wind and increase temperatures from yesterday's highs. look at these numbers, close to 60. we'll end up close to 80 degrees just about everywhere. and more climbing is expected in the forecast. temperatures are going to reach the 90s as we head into this weekend. >> 80s and 90s, of course, almost spring.

7:30 on this wednesday morning, the 12th of march, 2014. that is a pretty shot. the sun is coming up in miami, florida. a sight looking pretty good for millions from chicago to maine as you deal with more snow today. sorry, folks. good morning to you. nice to have you along on a wednesday morning. coming up, our exclusive conversation with jerry sandusky's wife, dottie, as he serves up to 60 years in prison for sexually assaulting young boy. this morning mrs. sandusky speaks o for the first time defending her husband and revealing what she believes was the motive behind the disturbing charges. and we know a lot of you are going to want to weigh in on what she's saying, so watch the interview, then tweet us with

the #orangeroom and we'll share your responses. >> we'll get a lot of conversation going this morning. the search area for that missing malaysian jet is expanding once again. officials now believe the plane may have doubled back toward the indian ocean. the crisis in ukraine will be the focus of a key meeting at the white house this afternoon. president obama and vice president biden are expected to sit down with that country's interrim prime minister. jonathan martin, you remember the football player who left the miami dolphins after accusing a teammate of bullying him, he's returning to the game. he was traded last night for the san francisco 49ers. he tweeted, can't wait to get back to work. we begin this half hour, however, with important evidence presented in court today at the murder trial of oscar pistorius. nbc's jeff rossen is at the courthouse in pretoria. good morning, jeff. >> reporter: good morning to you. prosecutors diving right in today. they actually brought visuals

for the judge, including the actual cricket bat oscar used to hit the door after the shooting. a cricket bat, just like this we bought this morning at a sporting good store. they're going over every single detail. did he use it like this? did he hit the door like this? where were the angle on the door? was he on a stump or prosthetics? forensic analyst on the stand reenacting it all. after crying in court this week, oscar pistorius was at times laughing in his seat this morning. and today prosecutors pulled out the actual door from his bathroom. oscar fired four bullets into it before bashing it with a cricket bat. >> my lady, there was a physical match with the door in this position. which indicated to me that the person is hitting the door had to be somewhere around here. >> reporter: on the other side

of that door, oscar's girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, shot and killed. in this new evidence photo, can you see damage to the steel plate next to the toilet. >> the marks on the door is actually consistent with him not having his legs on. >> reporter: the forensic expert then got on his knees showing how he believes oscar did it, without his legs. but oscar says after the shooting, he did put his legs on to break the door down. oscar's defense lawyer calling the expert back to the door to prove it's possible. >> it would match? >> yeah. >> reporter: here comes oscar right now. he sits in court every day, listening to the accusations against him. now it appears he'll likely appear on the stand in his own defense. oscar, any idea when you're going to take the stand? a media crush as oscar is hustled into a waiting suv. do you think it's smart that oscar take the stand?

>> he has to take the stand. he really has no option. he needs to show what he was thinking at that exact time. why he was thinking it. what was going through his mind. and only he can do that. so he needs to get into the box. >> reporter: in this official statement to the court, oscar calls it a tragic accident. we were in a loving relationship. and this -- i will have an opportunity to deal with a comprehensive version of the events when i testify. won't cross-examination be very difficult? >> cross-examination will be brutal. i imagine they will keep him on the stand for a long time. he will get emotional. only he can tell his story so he needs to pull it together and get in that box. >> reporter: one other interesting note from the courtroom here today. here in south africa trials are slated to last three weeks. three-week chunks. if they have to go longer, both sides sometimes have to wait five, six months to get back on the court calendar but the judge's clerk tells nbc news they will likely make an exception here because of all the recording equipment and coverage and let it go and go

and go until it's finally over. legal experts say, savannah, at this rate it could last five weeks or more. >> to say nothing of the security they have to have around the courthouse to handle that trial. jeff, thank you very much. let us get a check of the weather now from al. >> announcer: "today's" weather is brought to you by chico's, a shirt boutique, only at chico's or chicos.com. >> we have strong from elkins to richmond, washington, can't rule out a tornado so we'll watch the severe weather as this pushes through. on the latest radar we'll be looking at showers, thunderstorms, some of them heavy at times. and then heavy snow to the north of that. and once this system moves through, guess what? temperatures are going to really plummet. right now, 60 in lexington. 61, charlotte. cleveland is at 36. as the day wears on, cleveland's at 30.

>> i definitely believe him because if i didn't believe him, i would have -- when i testified at trial, could i have not said what i said. i would have had to tell the truth. >> but have you allowed yourself to think of the possibility that somehow, you have blocked this out that you lived in this house and you thought, i can't even bear to think what might be doing golden gate on and i'm not going to i a lou myself to think of it? >> no. no. no. i have not. no because there was nothing that went on because i was here. it was like -- i mean, i will take you downstairs and let you see the basement. it is not a dungeon. it is not what those kids said. and this is the bedroom there is a bath around the corner. >> and this is where the accusations -- that this is where the sexual abuse took place? >> correct. >> in this room? >> where the accuser said. >> back out this is the stairwell to the kitchen, the kitchen is -- >> right up the stairs. >> ten feet up that direction? >> mm-hmm. >> this is a very small house. i do think we should mention. we are sitting 12 feet from the

door that basement. and one of the victims said he screamed. he screamed while he was being sexually abused by your husband. and i said why wouldn't you have heard it? >> because he didn't scream. >> you know the things that have been written about your husband but people have written a lot of things about you in the press as well. evil can come in many forms it can come in the likes of stalin or hitler or it can come in the gentle, gray softness of a grandmother like dottie sandusky. that was written in the "huffington post." in the "washington post", it is shame that dottie sandusky doesn't have a cell of her own next to her notorious husband. we know that predators prey on the more vulnerable. they also tend to choose spouses who can be counted on to suppress any unpleasant ideas that might occur to them. >> i'm not a weak spouse. as you know, my name -- they called me sarge because jerry said i kept everybody in line. if they want to say that, let them say that. >> you are saying, mrs. sandusky that you don't believe he is

guilty of the horrible sex acs that he has been accused of committing with these boys. do you believe he was guilty of inappropriate behavior? >> i don't believe that. i believe he showered with kids and that's -- that's the generation that jerry, you know, grew up in. >> one of the victims said he showered with him and hucked him. if someone did that to one of your children, came home -- and your children came home and told you that, wouldn't you think, that he's inappropriate? >> i would guess that i would. >> as inappropriate as it seems, and i fully acknowledge i would not do it in a million years but that's not what jerry sandusky is in prison for that's not why he is probably going to die in prison and has had his pension taken away. that's not why joe paterno was unjustly fired and three penn state administrators are facing losing their freedom over this case. >> 1998, victim number six, as i believe he is called in this case, goes home one day, hair's wet, his mother says, what's going on? he says i showered with jerry sandusky and she gets upset.

she calls the investigators. the investigators, with her permission, then evesdropped on a conversation between that mother and your husband. and during that conversation, she says, you will never see this boy again. it's inappropriate what you did and your husband basically says, and i'm paraphrasing here, he says, i am so sorry. i know i was wrong. i wish i could get forgiveness. i'm not gonna get it from you. and then he says i wish i were dead. so, he admits he was wrong. he says he is so sorry that he wishes he were dead. and what do we know? that he continued to shower -- >> let's get some facts out here. in the 1998, you said the mother -- you will never see my son again. well, guess what happened? for 13 years, jerry sandusky had a close relationship with her son and she was well aware of it and acknowledged its existence. >> but if you believe these investigators who say that jerry sandusky said this, i was wrong,

i wish i could get forgiveness, i know i won't get it from you, i wish he were dead, you know what it reminds me of a little bit? it reminds me of the alcoholic to drinks and drives and gets in an accident and hurts somebody and he says, i'm begging for forgiveness, i will never do it again and he goes out and does it again. why? because he's sick. he is an alcoholic. and i think it might be easy to say for jerry sandusky, if he continued to shower with boys after admitting it was wrong and saying i wish i were dead, why? because's sick and he is a pedophile. >> jerry would not say i wish i was dead. >> a large part of the prosecution case here was exactly that, i wish -- i wish i was dead was somehow please catch me. that's the case, then why has there been nothing close to a confession in this case? >> mrs. sandusky, what's the motive? why would they say such terrible things about him? >> i think they were manipulated. once the lawyers came into the case, they said there was money. >> i think some people who are gonna watch this are gonna be

furious by hearing what you both say, because it seems what you're asking us to believe is that everybody on the other side of this case has either been manipulated or is like and everybody on this side of the case is telling the truth. and that's gonna be very hard for people to swallow, mrs. sandusky. how do you respond to that? >> i think people need to know that jervey not guilty and see all the discrepancies that went on at trial. >> have you uncovered one piece of evidence, john, that in your opinion, proves jerry sandusky is not guilty? >> the number one thing that people should know that's indoes disputable is that the boy in the mike mcqueary episode has stated publicly in his own name that nothing happened that night or any night and he has never waivered from that. and i am positive, i am positive that there was no assault that night and that was the basis for everything in this case, the

unjustified firing of joe paterno which created a symbiotic relationship of railroading between joe paterno and jerry sandusky. the more sandusky got railroaded, the more paterno and penn state got railroaded, that was the snowball that turned into an avalanche. no one checked the math on this story, matt. the math doesn't make any sense. >> that's john ziegler to admits to me he knows he is out on a limb on this story and thinks he is maybe unhirable as a journalist because of his stance on this, but he spent two years looking into this and clearly, has a point of view. >> yeah. as does, of course, mrs. sandusky. interesting conversation. coming up, much more from dottie sandusky as she gets very emotional talking about the scandal's toll on her family and she also talks about her prison visits with her husband. >> plus we want to hear what you think about this interview, carson is in the

big part of your life. but i think there's a lot to be drawn on these characters. there's a lot of meat on the bone. >> it's great to be playing roles that so many people know and love. and i imagine it's also kind of scary, because people, they've read the books, they think they know what this character is, and then you have to step into it and put a face to it. was that intimidating to take on? >> not really. i mean, i feel like if we tried to portray a character that everybody else wanted, it would have just been this mess of a human, you know? and certainly, when you're great in a movie, you're in the bubble of what that film is and you kind of forget that other people know about it, in a sense. >> are you guys ready for your lives to change, because this is going to be huge. i mean, i think the box office, they expect, they think it will exceed "twilight," which means, like, you know -- you know, maybe your whole lives are going to change. >> um, yeah, i mean, it's kind of hard to quantify. >> i can't think about it. >> yeah, you can't really think about it too much. and also, until it's there, you know -- we're kind of realists in a way. >> like there, like on all these magazines?

>> oh, my gosh. >> have you seen these? okay, they are all here. there we go. there you are. >> mm-mmm. >> what do you think? >> hunky jim there. i like that biting your finger. >> they photo-shopped that. that's all photo-shopped. >> that's my finger, i should say. >> well, guys, congratulations on the movie. it's really fun, and we'll be seeing lots more of you, we know. thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. >> and "divergent" opens on march 21st. coming up, we're going to give a live performance from the voice of the movie, british sensation ellie goulding is here. first, a check of your local news and weather. ♪

earlier, we heard mrs. sandusky say unegive clip that she believes her husband is innocent, sentiments echoed by documentary filmmaker, john ziegler. but this is a case that tore apart the penn state university community and i asked dottie if friends have stuck by her. >> most of them that could. there's a lot that haven't been able to. we have a lot connected with some school districts, i think they have been told by their lawyers not to have anything to do with us. and there's some people in town who were friends of ours who we know had said that they really care about us and really know what's happening, but they've been advised by their lawyers to stay as far away from us as possible. >> how about your family? >> it's been tough. i'm sorry. it's been rough on them. some of our grandchildren are old enough that they know what's going on and they've been told what's going on. and they know who their -- they

know who their pop is and what he was and we've had -- some of our children have lost their jobs, whether it was because of this or not, i don't know. >> your husband is in prison about three-plus hours from here? >> takes me about 3:15. >> how often do you get to see him? >> guy once a week. >> talk to me about those visits. can you summarize what tends to happen. you are not allowed physical contact with him, you can't touch him? >> no no. >> can't give him a kiss? >> no. he is in a maximum security prison. if he had never been to one of those, when you go in, you're searched. and then you're drug tested and you go through another metal detector and doors open. you go down a hall and more doors open. and more doors open. and he is -- he is called -- he is in administrative custody. he is in his cell 23 hours a day, monday through friday. and he is in handcuffs. he has the belt and the handcuffs when he comes. he is in a little room with the doors locked. when he goes in the room,

there's glass. there's mesh on the side. and then i am nee a room. i'm not locked. i can come and go kind of thing and there's a waiting room outside and there's probably maybe 20 rooms in the area. >> and when you sit down, if you see him once a week, what kind of things do you talk about? >> we talk about what's been going on with the family. we talk about things with the case, how things have been going for him. >> do you think they are treating him differently, mrs. sandusky, because of the notoriety surrounding his case? >> i think so but most of the guards, he says, are nice to him and he, you know, he said they -- i guess they don't understand, jerry's still a happy person. and he smiles. and he tries to make people laugh. and, you know, he said i'm not situation i'm in and i'm going to make the best i can out of it. >> he is still a happy person? >> yes, i think he is. you know, he is doing things. he reads, he meditates, he writes. he -- of course, he has a tv, which is a lifesaver for him. >> prison has to change a person, being in that kind of

surrounding for the time he's been there. what changes have you seen in him? >> i really haven't seen a whole lot of changes in him. he said a friend had written to him and asked him what he missed, what did he take most for granted and he said -- i'm sorry. family meals, the fun time with the grandkids, playing ball, doing special things with friends. we had -- our family had lots of picnics. it was all -- always athletic things that we did and he said, i guess i took those, too, for granted. >> you talk about his situation. does he talk much about his chances for appeal? >> oh, yeah, we talk about that a lot. >> is he hopeful? >> he is very hopeful. and he is allowed to go to law library once a week, which is for two hours and that isn't, from what i understand, it's a cage, they put him there in a cage and there usually is another inmate next to him from

his area. i don't really -- he has access to the computer that he can look up cases, different cases, and look into that. i kid him and say, well, maybe you're going to become a lawyer. >> you've known this man for how long? >> almost -- 38 years. >> you did everything together. you raised a family together. >> mm-hmm. >> i would imagine you expected you would grow old together? >> mm-hmm. >> and it's turned out very differently. >> but that's the plan that god has and something -- something good will come out of it i know. >> what goodwill come out will it? >> i don't know. right now, i don't know what good will come out of t >> clearly a powerful interview. >> kudos to you for -- you know, worst thing you ever watch and easy to just say, well, you see denial, see these sorts of things but a job well done to get that conversation out of her. >> now we have to see what happens legally, whether he is granted an appeal and that's going to be a big story if that happens. >> all right. >> by the way, to see our

good morning, scott and to you at home. the wind is starting to relax. it is relatively strong, so you want to keep in mind you could be caught by a 45 miles per hour wind gust in the next few hours. temperatures today will end up close to 80 degrees everywhere. 79 today in the east bay.

>> announcer: from nbc news this is "today's" take, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning, march 12, 2014. another beautiful day, but they are setting us up for a big fall come tonight. yeah. >> i'm willie geist alongside -- >> conspiracy. >> by day, he means you. >> 60 degrees and you pull the rug out from under us. 19 tomorrow, something like that? >> hey, you know what you are gonna appreciate it when spring really does get here, 'cause yesterday was spectacular. >> it was. what a day. >> winter a little bit. >> what's that hmm? almost like i didn't get enough out of you. >> this week, never gonna arrive. spring never gonna arrive.

i have convinceded myself of that. >>ust have to trick yourself. >> jed like giving ice cream and then when you put your spoon in, a la natally, it's like, oh, i'm on camera? one of those homes in life. >> just enjoy t. other thing we were talking about ellie goulding. >> what a voice. >> she is the coolest. no instruments hardly. that's all, you can really just tell the talent right there unbelievable. >> that song "burn," heavy rotation. >> to hear this version, almost like night and day. unplucked. you really hear her voice. >> mtv used to, i'm old, they used to have a show back in the '10s, "unplugged" and see an artist in their purest form. appreciate that >> in 1910s? >> yeah. >> '10? >> like -- >> i slept two hours last night. >> 1910 would have been -- >> i was e-mailing tanya filler at 1 a.m., hey, what about this story? i had nothing going on. >> did she answer? tanya is our executive producer. >> it was really unplugged.

1910. >> before the world wide web. >> when we had party lines and phones. >> exactly. >> back to the same story we have been talking about all week. just incredible. officials believe malaysia airlines flight 370 was hundreds of miles off course, traveling in the opposite direction from its original destination just before it fell off radar around disappeared. it also stopped sending identifying transponder codes. this all according to recent reports. meanwhile, a cracking and corrosion problem on boeing 777s that could lead to a midair breakup of an aircraft prompted a warping from air safety regulators this was weeks before the disappearance of this flight. so we put all this soup together. we still don't have answers. still haven't found any wreckage. we just don't know. >> probably more confusing now than it was five days ago. absolutely. >> you think that now, ten nations are involved in this search and the area that it now encompasses. and they don't know if it's in the seas somewhere or if it's on land somewhere. i mean, there's still so many

unanswered questions, the fact you just have no -- at this point, day five. i think if you remember, you know, air france, the flight, took about five days for some of the wreckage to start to surface. so could still be -- >> but also so sad seeing the family members. i mean, we often say can you imagine this? of course you can't. and you see that video and the confusion, to al's point, and this issue regarding this weak spot with the 777. i was watching "nightly news " last night, an aviation expert said if i have to fly any plane, it's the 777. so it adds to it but most important, you've got all of these people who are miss willing and themissing, the family members and more than the niece media, anyone else, wants to know >> the search area seems to grow 10,000 miles now. >> how does a plane turn around and you don't realize it? >> but that's -- >> that signifies that it had to be, according to the experts that we talked to earlier that somebody had to take the plane

off autopilot. and signal that it was an intentional turn. >> can you, in fact, accident realize you could turn off a men's transponder. >> you can. you can and -- >> shut that thing down. >> and there's speculation about who may have turned it off or why they turned it off. >> obviously, somebody who knows how to do t >> how. through mechanical reasons that are far beyond my pay grade to explain, can happen that way, doesn't necessarily have to be an individual who turns it off. >> the other thing that was interesting is if the plane did veer west, as, you know, the malaysian military now believe it is may have, the area where it did do that happened to be the turning point when exactly the plane was outside of the area of radar coverage. so again -- >> if you knew -- looking to be hidden. >> getting out of the area where the radar was picking up the signal. this is where you would turn the plane. >> you would figure somebody at this point would have seen something floating in the water, but i heard an oceanographer saying yesterday, win get out into that sea, you realize how small you are and how big that oceansome >> kur represents and everything. >> people looking.

>> what about this australian tv show "current affair." >> featured an interview with a woman who claims she and a female friend met the missing plane's co-pilot, a guy named fariq abdul hamid, years in ago. john t. ruse claims he gave she and her friend a full access to the aircraft cockpit from phuket, thailand to kuala lumpur in 2011. we haven't confirmed her account but here is what she said on that australian program. >> they were talking to us and actually smoking on the flights which i don't think they are allowed to be doing and they were taking photos with us in the cockpit while they were flying. i was just completely shocked. i couldn't believe it. >> were you there for takeoff? >> yes, we were. >> and landing? >> yes. >> hmm. >> well, we don't know what -- >> what does that really add to other than the fact that maybe pilot -- somebody knew the pilots allowed somebody people into the cockpit. >> remember when the "costa concordia" went down, remember

the captain of that ship had some dubious behavior, had someone with him, just brings into light of this person's background. >> distractions. >> a part of t >> distractions in the cockpit, unprofessionalism if they are smoking -- >> according to one source. >> this tabloid program. >> a tabloid-like program. >> must be an australian maury povich. >> hope so. >> g 'day. >> lucky to have an australian maury povich, he's good man. another story we are talking about this morning, watching matt's interview with dottie sandusky, the wife of former penn state assistant football coach, jerry sandusky, just a shocking and gripping interview to watch. sandusky, of course, convicted in 2012 of 45 counts of sexually abusing ten boys between 1994 and 2008. now he is 70 years old, serving a 30-year minimum sentence. you know, matt, of course, invited into their home in rural pennsylvania there, just right outside penn state university, for the interview. so let's take a look at a little

piece of it. >> i will take you downstairs and let you see the basement is not a dungeon. it is not what those kids said. and this is the bedroom. there is a bath around the corner. >> and this is where the accusations, that this is where the sexual abuse took place? >> correct. >> in this room? >> that's where the accuser said -- >> back out this is the stairwell to the kitchen, the kitchen is -- >> right up the stairs. >> ten feet up that direction? >> mm-hmm. >> and this is a very small house. i do think we should mention. we are sitting 12 feet from the door to that basement. and one of the victims said that he screamed. he screamed while he was being sexually abused by your husband. >> and i -- >> said why wouldn't you have heard it? >> because he didn't scream. >> and matt pointed out in the interview, the house is very small, it's tight quarters and you would think you would be able to hear something like that but still, i mean, it's -- it's hard to hearer her say that. >> explanation. >> explanation. >> the thing that kicked this thing off in a sense was the

showering with the boys and -- >> right. right. >> and you know, it's almost mind boggling, listen to what she said when matt asked about this. it's crazy. >> said he showered with them and hugged him. if someone did that to one of your children, came -- and your children came home and told you that, wouldn't you think, that's inappropriate? >> i -- i would guess that i would. >> as inappropriate as it seems, and i fully acknowledge, i would not do it in a million years, but that's not what jerry sandusky is in prison for. that's not why he is probably going to die in prison and has had his pension taken away. that's not why joe paterno was unjustly fired and three penn state administrators are facing losing their freedom over this case. >> 1998 -- >> should point out that was jonathan zeke leg the documentarian, who strongly spores and believes. he has been to the jail where sandusky is, has interviewed him and believes in his innocence. >> one of the things that bugged me, as inappropriate as it seems. it doesn't seem it is.

it is. >> even she admitted it >> care that he doesn't have his pension. and to throw that in, as if added to the fact that a jury, by the way, convicted him, he doesn't get his pension. >> and you listen to what john ziegler, as he ticks off all the charges, by the way, so, make it sound like everybody else is wrong and you're right. >> or lying. to suggest that they are lying and conspired for money. >> and to suggest that the victims are being subjected to manipulation. i mean, come on. i mean? this is -- that's the oldest, you know, excuse i've ever heard. >> blame the victim. >> blame the victim. and here again, you have to think about the lives that have been affected and impacted. >> yeah. >> before you get caught up in dottie sandusky's tears and her explanation of her husband, the man she knew would never do that just go read through some of the indictment, read the testimony in the courtroom on which he was convicted of something like 45 counts.

>> it is the most stunning thing. i remember reading with than document was leased, it was late at night and i hesitated, accident want to read it but as a journalist, we have this responsibility and i read it. i was in tears, disgusted. it's beyond belief. it's beyond belief. >> just saying he was convicted and -- there you are. >> al, a look at the weather. >> show you, on a lighter note, again, as we have been talking this is the winter of our discontent. it will not end. it continues. my compadres at the weather channel have named this storm vulcan. you can see we are looking at blizzard warnings in western new york, winter snow storm warnings and watches stretching from chicago all the way into upstate new york and parts of new england. look at this also. here's the divergence of these temperatures, cincinnati's 55. you go not too far, detroit he's 31. currently, chicago at 30 degrees. and snow is making its way to the east. look at. this look from buffalo, they are gettering snow now.
