mary schiavo, attorney for victims and families of transportation accident kip darby, pill, aviation consulting firm. clive, contributor for "the daily beast" and cnn analyst tom fuentes and david soucie, authorize of the book "why planes crash." a big panel. i want to start with the first question. viewers may be joining for the first time and learning this development about se quinquenci. malaysian horowiauthorities saye turn off course, raised questions whether this was a premeditated action by the pilots. i wonder if i could begin with you again, mary, your experience with the ntsb investigating accidents before and explain to our viewers in short-term why sequencing is important. >> today's development is important because it does not -- it's more consistent. if pilots put in this way point they were going to turn to, they knew in advance of the last communication they were going to turn. it was a premeditated act, turn off the course to beijing. if it was not premeditated, it does fit closely with the scenario that whatever happened happened suddenly and they turned to get back

let's bring back our panel now, kip darby in atlanta and tom fuentes in washington.u saw there, you know, finding the plane and the black boxes deep in the ocean will be quite the challenge. so with all this technology, is this now kind of if itch us the, i wonder, you know, for some sort of immediate tracking of all planes as they are flying? >> certainly they push for that. i mean, i think most people would welcome that. pilots certainly would at this point. the world is watching and it brings a point, too, that we aren't actually tracking on a realtime basis these airplanes, nor do we have the ability to prevent someone from turning that tracking off, very confusing in this case. >> tom, it would seem at this juncture, you know, talking about over three weeks now, entering our fourth week of looking for any kind of, you know, evidence or semblance of this flight, passengers, crew, et cetera. it would seem that all of this evidence to help point in the direction of what caused this is just not reachable. is that your view? do you feel like if we'll ever really get

kip darby is head of his own aviation firm and cnn safety analyst david soucy. good to have you all here. a meeting of the minds. today we have new developments. mary, just on this news that malaysian authorities said today about data coming from that cockpit, because you remember a little more than a week ago there were reports, indications that that turn to the west after the plane lost contact might have been preprogrammed and this added to the theory that the pilots might have done this on purpose or that it was premeditated. now you have word at least from the malaysians that that is not the case. there was nothing from the plane to indicate that that turn was preprogrammed. how important a development do you think that is and for you does it undermine the theory the pilots were somehow intentionally involved? >> well, i mean, i never thought the pilots were intentionally involved. we were pondering this 12-minute gap. what happened was because this was thought to have been programmed in by the pilots, and the last communication was 12 minutes after they th
