getting back to malaysia and malaysia government, the malaysian airlines, there are these two other cases, u.s. investigators concluded the egypt air flight was pilot suicide. a silk airline flight that crashed was pilot suicide, an indonesian airliner. if this were a similar situation, would there be pressure on malaysia, like the indonesians did, to simply deny it was mechanical failure they both claimed early? >> there would be that pressure because it's one thing for an international body or even the ntsb to conclude what the cause of an accident is, but an airline is not going to pay unless a court finds them liable. and that's a very different thing. and here you have the additional complexity of a mail asian airline, mostly chinese passenger, wreckage that hasn't even been found yet that may be near australia. the question of which country's court is something that's going to be very complicated to resolve. there have been at least some initial efforts to try to bring a case in the united states. it happened in the past couple of days, but you know, this is very early. this could be just intercontinental ambulance chasin

the history of the airliner that went down because the pilot deliberately wanted to go down, an egypt airliner that went down because they deliberately wanted to go down. >> again, i don't have details on the two pilots per se, but i know they are being looked at very carefully. there has been one erratic behavior about having people in the cockpit with them. but, no, i think that has to be considered. when this thing first broke on saturday, i was talking to someone in the airline industry who found it even then found it all very unusual. and that person said to me that she thought this could well have been a pilot suicide. again, that is just one of the theories. but right now it's as good as anything since this is so unusual and nothing else has been explained. >> has the u.s. done anything to beef up security in the aftermath of this malaysia airliner mystery? >> there has been no specific steps taken so far. again, obviously we are more alert, if you will, but no significant changes, but no official designation of a different status. but obviously in an event like this, it certainly cause

i'm referring to that egypt airline crash and that silk airline crash. tell us about those. >> well, both. in both cases, the ntsb determined that the pilot took control of the aircraft and in the case of silk air, turned off the flight voice recorder and dove the plane from 30,000 feet into a river. he disabled his co pilot. in the egyptair, the co pilot took control of the plane while flying pilot was out of the cabin on a rest room break. they actually got into a struggle in the cockpit to get control of the plane. and unfortunately, the co pilt pilot turned the engines off and the plane crashed into the north atlantic. so you do have two cases where pilots have deliberately flown their planes into the ocean. >> and is it that -- is it that easy, peter, to simply push a button and the transponder goes off and then no one can monitor where that plane is heading? >> it is not difficult. you can either -- you can either turn the transponder off in the flight controls and in front of you. you can -- because you can use it to squawk for a hijacking. or you

when we had that egypt airline pilot suicide, the only reason we got some evidence on that was the cockpitce recorder. which showed the two pilots struggling. one trying to bring the plane down. the other one trying to keep it up. but from what i'm hearing now, that only has a two-hour capability. then it records over itself. so that's going to be a problem if this plane was on autopilot. so that even probably would lead more to go back to the -- you know, to the other things that the pilots and other passengers had to try to figure out exactly what was going on that might have caused this plane to go down. >> greg, what do you think about what foria just said about deliberate attempts to evade radar and why that may have happened? >> well, it is obvious that whoever was in command of this aircraft, they intentionally turned off the transponder which is is basically a camera, if you will, that tells the air traffic controllers where the airplane is. again, you have the acars that was shut down. it is another form or another camera that basically provides information to folks on the ground

. >> i interviewed a man who lost his stepmother and father on an egypt airlines flight that went downntucket. he said, what's really important is that these families have to draw together, to find strength this one another. that's really the only thing that helps. >> it really seems to be. it is this notion that it is us against the world a little bit. when you saw the lashing out at the cameraman, for example, he is not the government. he is a reporter. he is doing his job. he is somebody else that is not part of this group of people that are grieving. everybody is distrusting and lashing out. >> dr. sanjay gupta, thanks so much. >> we will have more on the angry families of flight 370 passengers. some say they have been lied to and they want answers now. alaska former fbi assistant director, if malaysia could really be hiding things from them. be right back. oh! the name your price tool! you tell them how much you want to pay, and they help you find a policy that fits your budget. i told you to wear something comfortable! this is a polyester blend! whoa! uh...little help? i got you!
