i'm don lemon. we're going to begin with breaking news from the "new york times" tonight. they are reporting that the flight turned to the west at the direction of a computer system that was likely programmed by someone in the plane's cockpit. another piece of evidence that points to the involvement of the crew into the disappearance of the plane. as far as we know, no one on earth has heard anything from the 239 people on board since then. but there are so many questions. we have been hearing from you since it happened. and tonight for the next hour we're going to answer your questions. like what are the odds the pilots are in this together? why do you trust that pakistan has no radar evidence of the plane? and what if the plane is in the hands of hijackers? >>> and i want to go to our breaking news. here now with that is michael smith, one of the reporters on that story. >> we are reporting that the first diversion that the plane made on its path was done -- was done by a computer system on the plane. and not done manually by anyone on the plane for that matter. what hap

i'm jim sciutto in today for don lemon. if there's one reason to be slightly hopeful as this airl e airliner search goes on, it's that there's no evidence as of yet that the plane crashed. small comfort, but better than no comfort for families in every country those 239 passengers and crew called home. a new working theory this evening though presuming the boeing 777 was forced into silence is that it may have been taken in this direction toward western china or the countries of central asia. the plane carried enough fuel, we know, to get there. it is part of the world where some extremist groups have real political and ethic struggles. andrew stevens, if i can start, how jarring, how interesting, how different is this announcement from the malaysian government that they believe the plane was deliberately taken in this direction? >> reporter: it's a hugely significant direction and a significant development too. what we know at this stage is the malaysian prime minister has finally given some concrete evidence just to say t
