good morning. breaking news. is this a piece of malaysian airlines flight 370? just moments ago, a new image released by chinese government tv. a satellite image of something big floating in the indian ocean. it all came as an unexpected announcent in the middle of a planned news conference. >> the news i just received is that the chinese ambassador received satellite image of floating object in the southern corridor. they will be sending ships to verify. >> could searchers be closer to finding that missing jetliner or is it another false alarm?

saturday, march 22nd 2014. lest erica hill live from studio welcome to "today" on this saturday morning. i'm erica hill alongside carson daily, jenna wolfe. >> nice to have you here on the weekend. >> thank you. >> at 6:58, carson said are we starting? i said, no, we start at 7:00 every day. >> i'll be right here. thank you. >> we get it. we get it. >> weekend hazing, get it out of the way. now we can move on. >> a little rehearsal. thank you very much. today's top story, the breaking news in search for the malaysian jet. in the past hour and a half, it's taken a big turn. here is a look at that image that we talked about released by chinese government channels.

it's about 22 meters long, 13 meters wide. chinese authorities say the images were taken about four days ago. >> this is the second time in a week that degree, which there is some speculation that could be from the plane, may have been spotted on a satellite image. this news coming in the middle of a planned press conference. the malaysian transport minister was giving his daily briefing. he was handed that note in the middle of the news conference. at which point he said the chinese may have found something. what is all of this? what could it mean? kerry sanders is following it all. he joins us from washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the pictures we're looking at from the chinese state television are somewhat similar to the satellite images we have already seen. let's look again at that picture just released by the chinese state television. it shows a piece of what could be debris from flight 370. it is 72 feet by 42 feet. it is a large piece of something floating out there.

now, interestingly, this image from satellite matches up similar to the images taken and released by the australian government. and as we look at these images, this is the area where the search is taking place. which is about 1500 miles southwest of perth. now, the image that's chinese are looking at are right here. which is not too far from where those australian images were taken. so, as i'm talking to you right now, there are aircraft in the air circling in this area. while they have some technology to look down, the aircraft have lowered their altitudes and they're using eyes on. people are attempting to spot to see if they can find this debris that's floating out there. the sea state, we're told, has calmed down a bit. so you no longer have the nine-foot seas.

even at 3,000 feet or 5,000 feet, traveling at 400 miles per hour looking out the window, it could be very difficult. in addition to the australian aircraft and the aircraft from new zealand, you also have seven ships from the chinese navy that are also headed to this area. it will take them several days to get there to assist the australian navy, which is already on scene, plus the merchant ships that have already made their way there. the u.s. antidepressant, the p-8 is grounded today for routine maintenance. it's likely to be back up within 24 hours. >> kerry, you pointed out these are images, it's important to keep in mind, released by chinese government television. but these were taken four days ago. >> yeah. they were taken four days ago. there's been a lag every time the pictures have been released. part of that may be is that they're analyzing the images. the other part is that it takes a while, even when a picture is taken to go through them and find what might be a piece of

debris out there. if we look at that picture again, imagine as you look at this, that's just little dot on a big picture. it takes people a lot of time to review, analyze, hone in and then say, well, is that something or not? it passes through a lot of levels. again, this image here released by chinese state television. >> so many eyes, as you mentioned. so many people working on this around the clock. kerry sanders, thank you very much. carson? >> now more on the search by air in australia. pilots have been out for the third day concentrating efforts over the southern indian ocean where the debris was first spotted on satellite several days ago. now there's a new object to look for. bill neely has more. good morning. >> reporter: carson, good morning. the search area has expanded. the number of planes and ships searching that area has increased, but not great news here from today. today, the third day of searching has ended. six planes went out. three have come back.

the crews are reporting terrible visibility. very low cloud. underneath the cloud sea fog, making spotting anything on the surface of that ocean very, very difficult. let's look at the positive side for a moment. reinforcements are arriving. the chinese in particular. remember, two-thirds of the passengers on the plane were chinese. the chinese throwing resources at this. they have three planes. they have three ships, plus an ice breaker that normally works in the antarctic. they will be joined by two planes from japan, by ships from australia, from the uk, and the crews confident that they will find something. but the big question is what will they find? australia's prime minister yesterday damping down expectations saying these satellite images could be a shipping container. and the deputy prime minister, the acting prime minister came here today and said we'll continue to search until we feel

more searching is futile. if we find nothing, we'll have to think again. australia damping down expectations, and with good reason. remember, even the expanded search area is the size of the fifth biggest state in the united states, new mexico. so imagine each one of those planes just drawing a tiny, fine line down that grid. you get some idea of how incredibly difficult this search is. so we're now entering the third week of the search. so far no debris has been found. we have a new satellite image, a glimmer of hope, but the riddle of this missing plane remains. carson? >> bill neely, thank you very much. john cox is an nbc news aviation expert and former airline pilot. robert hager was long-time aviation correspondent for nbc news. good morning. >> good morning. >> i want to start with this new image released by chinese government television. bill just pointed out, australia

trying to temper expectations. but it does give a potential bit of hope to some people. as you see this image and we learn more about it what does it say to you? >> it's large. it's very large. for there to be this large of a piece still floating after this long, i'm not real optimistic about this one because of the size. >> because of the size, meaning it would be too big to come from a plane? >> it's too big. it's larger than the wing span of the airport. so that says -- to be that large t would have to be part of the fuselage, to get it to float is questionable. >> if it's not part of it, here we are two weeks out, found nothing so far from the images or wreckage so far. is it possible we are looking in the wrong area? do we have the search area wrong? >> we have looked where the airplane is not. there's a debris field out there. we will find it, i'm confident of that. but we are doing this by elimination. we go to one area, search it well, move to another.

these are very, very professional searchers using the best technology out there. i'm confident we'll find it. we haven't looked in the right place yet. >> we all get spoiled because we tend to learn things so much quicker nowadays. there's always a big focus on, when we find the black box we'll know something. it's set to release pings for about a month. we're halfway through that, what happens at that point? if we don't find the wreckage or the black box? if we don't find the black box, that's harsh for this investigation. that would be really bad news. going back to this piece, the measurements they have given out, 75 feet by 100 feet roughly. that's a big chunk, as john says. i think it's the size of a baseball diamond it could be a piece of this plane. a big roll of fuselage, maybe the dimensions are not exactly right and could be a piece of wing. we will be in a state of suspense for some time.

you can see in that report from perth, it's now nighttime over there. they won't get a good look at it. for another 12 hours, here in the u.s., until nightfall tonight before aircraft out there will get close to it. >> we saw the image there. the pingers on the black boxes t will have battery life for another couple weeks. what happens when that expires? we know in air france 447, once the battery went down there, it took two years to find it. they said it was like looking in the rockies for two shoe boxes at night. >> you have to have an idea where to look. you hope you find some wreckage floating on the surface, even if it doesn't say anything about the investigation. then you calculate out the currents, try to figure out where the main body of wreckage might be, then look there in the time after this pinger runs out. you have to have sophisticated ships with ocean floor mapping sonar. if you happen to see objects that look like the main debris

field, you send down unmanned submarines with cameras and see if you can see black boxes. but they did find them in air france. two years, they found them. >> why don't they make the batteries last longer? considering when we find it how vital the information is. >> they must be talking about that at this point. as you pointed out, thing also just be developing probably as we're going to bed tonight. so a lot more to talk to you both about tomorrow morning and throughout the day. thank you both. the other news overseas, russia's annexation of crimea. if you think what happens there doesn't affect us back in the united states, you might want to think again. kristen welker is outside the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the united states, as you know, is linked with all of europe economically and politically. that means what's happening in ukraine actually does and could ultimately hurt the united states and its economy, all this is the back drop as president obama heads to europe tomorrow to meet his allies.

president obama heads to the netherlands tomorrow for a nuclear security summit. but now his more pressing goal, dealing with the escalating crisis in ukraine. this week russia annexed crimea, once a part of ukraine, a move the white house calls illegal. >> the president will be mobilizing the international community. >> reporter: on friday, national security adviser susan rice said the u.s. could impose more sanctions if russia continues its provocations. today russian troops at the order of vladimir putin are amazing along parts of the ukrainian border. >> the russians have stated they are military exercises. given their past practice and the gap of what they have said and done, we're watching it with skepticism. >> reporter: in russia, fireworks as they celebrated the return of crimea, 60 years after the soviet union gave it away. the white house says it won't resort to military force, only

more sanctions. >> further escalation will result in further isolation and higher costs. >> reporter: foreign policy experts warn further conflict could have an impact at home. if what happened in the ukraine becomes a precursor to more moves, more instability, the potential for escalation and conflict that will affect the united states sooner or later. >> reporter: from wall street to main street, americans are keeping an eye on a conflict impacting nations and those too young to understand. now, ambassador ross also says while neither the u.s. nor russia are looking for a military fight, a miscalculation on either side could lead to one, and if this conflict continues tsh continues, it could hurt the united states standing abroad. back to you. >> thank you very much. i know you're also following the first lady's trip to china. what's on the plan this weekend? >> she usually avoids thorny

issues, while speaking to a group of college people, she said open access is a part of rights. she also touched on the missing malaysian airlines flight saying the u.s. is offering as many resources as possible. the first lady is on a week-long trip to china. she brought along her two daughters as well as her mother. on friday, mrs. obama met with china's president and first lady. white house officials say her trip is really aimed at focusing on education, person to person outreach, not as much on diplomacy, but it is clearly a prelude to president obama's meeting with china next week in the netherlands. michelle obama and the first lady of china have been getting big and positive reviews for their fashion sense in china. carson?

>> thank you very much. kristen welker, appreciate it. >> thank ffully, the fashion is all right. >> let's get a look at other top stories this morning. the investigation into the cause of a deadly fire at a jersey shore motel is intensifying. investigators focusing on the top floor of the point pleasant beach motel, where survivors say there was a lounge area used by smokers. new details about the news helicopter that crashed in seattle earlier this week killing two people. a preliminary report from the ntsb says the chopper began rotating counterclockwise during takeoff before pitching forward and crashing. the report did not pinpoint the cause of the crash. it could take up to a year to get a final report on that. >> some same-sex couples in michigan will be able to get marriage licenses this morning. a federal judge in detroit struck down the day marriage ban

on friday saying it's unconstitutional. michigan is the 18th state to allow same-sex couples to wed. if you heard a very expensive sigh of relief last night, it sounded like this. ah. dollar sign dollar sign dollar sign. it was probably warren buffett after the ncaa challenge he put out. as of late friday night, not one of the 9 million people who entered his $1 billion basketball contest was in it. not one. the biggest bracket buster was ohio state, and mercer's win over duke which shattered the little hope left of winning the grand prize. as i said earlier, i think even mercer picked duke to win that game. it's been three decades, but kevin bacon has still got it. >> it's official. it's a bummer, but rules are rules. shut up!

>> bacon appeared on "the tonight show" to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "footloose." omg, i'm so old. he danced out of his dressing room, into the hallways of 30 rock. he ended up on stage, forcing fallon to what else? rip up his no dancing decree. thankfully we have one on this show as well when lester is not here. >> kevin bacon looks the same as he did 30 years ago. >> he does. >> i can't believe it's 30 years. >> 30 years. 30 years! we're so old. dylan has a check of the forecast. good morning. >> it would be nice when spring starts if we could flip a switch and it be spring, not so much. it's bitter cold across the planes. temperatures will be running 15, 20 degrees below normal. the high in minneapolis 23

degrees. some of that cold air will spread eastward going into monday. we are looking at snow showers early today through central and northern new england. about one to three inches, across the rockies, more snow. we could end up with 3 to 6 inches in the higher it feels a bit like winter this morning in the north bay. 40 in san rafael and upper 30s around santa rosa this morning 48 currently in san jose we do have some patchy fog that will stick around san francisco and the coast throughout the day. a little bit of a north breeze during the afternoon may try to clear some of the clouds at times. sunshine inland and highs in the low 70s in san jose. low to mid-60s near san francisco. and that's your latest forecast. erica? >> all right dylan. thanks. this next story is incredible. the flight against the flu is getting help from an unlikely

good morning. it is saturday, march 22, 2014. here's a look at today's top story. breaking news in the search for the missing malaysian plane. this image was released by chinese officials on chinese tv. the claim from china is this could be debris from the plane. measures 22 meters by 13 meters, 72 feet by 14 feet. china is now sending ships out to investigate. for now the search by air is over for the third day in the south indian ocean. it's been concentrated in that area since the first satellite image showed possible debris earlier this week. as the overall search for the missing malaysia airline flight

370 now enters the third week, more ships and planes are headed to that area to help in the massive effort and the hope to find anything at this point. good morning. nice to have you with us on a saturday morning. we want to take another look at the image. this came on after we went on the air this morning. released by state chinese government tv. released on twitter. china says it was taken four days ago. a lot of speculation as to whether it could be debris. that came in the middle of a planned press conference. the official was holding up the note he was given during the press conference. it seems to be a never ending search for a clue as people look for what happened to flight 370, where it may be. kerry sanders begins our coverage. good morning. >> it could be a clue and nothing more at this point. certain a lot of hope.

let's look at that image released by chinese tv. it is 72 feet by 42 feet. take that image and now look at these two images shot two days prior to those photos. these are satellite images taken and released by the australian minister. perhaps this may fit in the same general measurements of the one in the photographs just released today. the area that's being searched here is here compared to where perth, australia is. that distance is under 1,500 miles southwest. as we get closer and take a look here, the items found on the images taken by the australians were here, about 79 miles away

there is where the photographs taken by the chinese show up. it's in is same general area. the hope is this may indeed be a clue to suggest where flight 370 went down. >> the new satellite image released by china state run telle vision measures 72 feet by 42 feet. it was a phototoe taken four days ago. like the other satellite images released by the australian government, there's a race to confirm what the debris is and if it's still there. this newest lead was revealed by malaysia's transportation minister handed the news on a piece of paper during a news conference. >> the chinese received satellite image of floating object in the southern corridor. they will send ships to verify. >> so far, there's no visual search of the debris.

based on the australian satellite photos, it's four hours from land. today the grounded maintenance, pilots from australia, china have been in the air reporting with poor visibility. >> we have a lot of hope. conditions remain as they are, hopefully we'll find something soon. >> south indian ocean is notorious for the most violent oceans with high winds and waves feeding off weather patterns. the scientist kathleen doughan has tried to see where it may have traveled. >> how far it could go. it could potentially go hundreds of miles like 500 miles. >> which means it will be that much more difficult to find this

item, the so called black box. as we look at it, this is the area called the pinger. if that black box went down in the ocean like that, the signal is sending down and not out which could make it that much more difficult to eventually, if they ever do, locate it. erica? >> kerry for us this morning. thank you. let's take a turn what's happening on the ground and in the air off the coast of australia this morning. bill is covering that from perth. good morning. >> yes, good morning carson. yes, a new satellite 23photo. more ships, more plane, but not good news from the third day of searching which is now over. six planes we want out today. crews reporting terrible visibility, low cloud and below the cloud, some sea fog which makes trying to spot anything on the surface of that ocean very difficult indeed. let's look at the positive side.

reinforcements have arrived particularly from china. three more planes, three more ship, an ice breaker. those are heading into the area as well as that two japanese planes, an australian naval vessel. crews are optimistic they'll find something. the question is what? the prime minister damping down expectations saying this could be a sea shipping container. the active prime minister says we'll search until we feel searching is more futile. we're in the third week of this search and still nothing. carson is this. >> bill, thanks very much. dylan is tracking the weather conditions in the indian ocean and how that could impact the search. good morning. hello. >> good morning erica. we're watching the weather in this e.r.a. which earlier

saturday in that region was okay because of the area of high pressure. there are reports of low level clouds. that's going to reduce visibility a little bit. you can see the satellite here in the area where the possible wreckage is located. that's where we do have fairly clear skies minus low level clouds. we're going to keep an eye on the wind. in the northern hhemisphere you clockwise winds. that's the way the winds go around the area of high pressure. this is good news for search efforts in that region. what we're going to notice over the next two days is the high pressure is going to slide east. we are going to get into a windy pattern, area in the 40 degrees latitude. that's nick named roaring 40s because it tends top get windy conditions. that's going to rough up the surf and make things difficult for search in that area.

saturday up to tuesday, winds are extremely gusty. >> thanks. the news for the plane and 239 on board is in the third week. family members remain on pins and needles. we continue to follow that story. good morning. >> reporter: hey carson. good morning. all news from australia and chinese is increasing stress on the families. when while we're hearing insurance payments are being triggered now. it's not a reflection on what might or might not have happened to flight 370. it's part of regulations it has to happen. it does nothing to lessen the anxiety and anger felt by relatives. frustrated, furious, families vent anger on malaysian representatives accusing them on

concealing the truth. >> we are here. we want to know what happened. >> the families felt they hadn't been allowed to ask all their questions. in kuala lumpur, malaysia's transportation minister pledged to do better. >> wherever they are, we will do everything in our power to keep you informed. >> this week, painful scenes as a mother tried to talk to reporters and was dragged away by security. families have been provided with counselors. >> some of them emotionally this will outburst and feel -- then just crying very loudly. >> relatives wait to hear news from the search thousands of miles away. >> they are preparing for the worst and praying hard hoping their family members are still a

live. >> meanwhile carson, we have confirmed on the ground a group of relatives were moved from a hotel in order to make space for a team for a motor racing event that's going to happen here. clearly those would have been booked well in advance. it adds to the sense the relatives aren't being treated quite as well as they could be. >> we're getting that sense. thank you for that. too bad. >> tough for them. we want to get you caught up on other top stories jenna is following. >> good morning. hi everyone. we begin in ukraine. observers will be monitoring the security and human rights situation in the nation six months. the european security organization is deploying 100 member team. they will not go to crimea now that that is part of russia. mrs. obama played ping-pong, dabbled in math and delivered a
