let me turn to fran townsend. lots and lots of theories, fan. -- fran.h precious little facts emerging. from the assumption -- let's work on the assumption here this has been some kind of terror act. what are you hearing from your sources about if that is a theory who would have anything to gain by doing this? given that two-thirds of the passengers are chinese? >> you know, first of all you ask yourself if this was a terrorist attack, who's most likely to have that sort of capability to organize themselves to have sufficient strength and capability on the plane to get past security, to get on there, to get into the cockpit to do it. you talked last night about one of these pilots having allowing passengers to sit inside the cockpit. those are the sorts of vulnerabilities in terms of looking for an opportunity. but i'll tell you, there are not many groups that you look at state sponsors, look at capable terror groups like al-qaeda, like hezbollah. but there are not a lot. and frankly, it doesn't make sense to me that by now you wouldn't have had a claim

back with my bill nye, jim tillman and fran townsend.he question here i may put this to bill nye first. from sherry rosen balm who's tweeted me. one expert said if pieces that big came from the airplane they would be too heavy to float. no mention of that since. pretty good point. 70 foot by 70 foot. >> we're all speculating. what if they're rafts? what if they're gas-filled wings that broke off and float because the kerosene, the jet fuel is less dense than water? but i want to ask jim a question. would you agree that when stuff goes wrong on planes there's two things that make things go wrong on planes. maintenance and then a series of small things that just get out of hand. one thing leads to another. and then it gets away from you. >> i've never heard of an aviation accident where one thing made the difference. as a matter of fact, it's almost always a series of events. and if you change any one of those items along that chain of events no accident. so yes, you're right. it would have to be some kind of a series of things that happen

fran townsend, let me start with you. it seemed like yesterday everyone was trying to push back on the idea this could have been an act of terror. but today the cia seemed to put it back into play and said, look, we just don't seem to know what has happened here so we can't rule anything out. what is your understanding of where this investigation is going? >> look, piers, i think the more facts we get the kind of crazier and less clear, murky that it seems to get. now we think the plane not only changed direction, that the transponder may have been turned off and that it actually crossed over the country of malaysia on its way back in the wrong direction. now, there are conflicting reports. but you can understand when the director of cia is asked have you absolutely ruled out that this could be terrorism, why he would say no. there are stolen passports, tickets paid for with cash at the same travel agent. i mean, all of this leads them to want to look at things like are there -- and they need time to do it -- are there re

but these guys can do it. >> let me bring fran in for a second.ecause fran, a lot of people are worried that the malaysians aren't doing everything that they can, that the indonesians are not letting u.s. planes fly through their air space, you really need full cooperation in an international search and rescue operation like this. >> look, wolf, the best news that we have is that the australians, frankly, by pox i am tproximity alone are leading this effort in the remote south area of the south indian ocean. we know that australians are confident. we know that our information sharing with them is unsurpassed, frankly, and we've got kind of a real experience, really capable partner now looking over this. but i will tell you, you know, we have to understand, the malaysians -- there's no question, their ability to coordinate the investigation and the release of information has not been very good. but they have been overwhelmed. this is a period now that we are in in the search and rescue operation where the australians will provide the backbone and t

fran, what are your thoughts on that?> well, if you look at northern route you would have had to skirt very close to the pakistan-india border. probably the best air defenses in the world. you also would have been very close if not over the united arab emirates which has incredible air defenses. i'm not sure where that takes you. i can't imagine that it could have actually navigated that far, skirted all those air defenses, and the theory is you landed where? in iran? to load up with some sort of weapon? >> i'm guessing israel has their eye on iran in some way. i don't know. but there's one thing when it comes to satellites watching nuclear development labs, another thing watching commercial aviation though, right? >> that's right. but in fairness to israel, it's a tiny country. they take this air defense system very very seriously because they don't have a lot of time to react. so until you know where the plane is, that is do you know it's in the indian ocean, until you've accounted for it, in some ways given their own s

you can see across the east bay from lafayette, showers, and even into fran, another batch of rain. that's where we find our own christie smith. good morning. you know you were in san francisco, but you spent most of the day in traffic, tell us what happened. >> reporter: well, i tell you when it rains people decide to jump this their cars and that was the case this morning. we sat in quite a bit of traffic. but you called it hit and miss and that's exactly right it it's sunny right now, but all morning the rain has been on and off. i want to show you what golden gate bridge looks like. one side is sunny and the other side is cloudy. it has got some problems out here. started dumping at 5:00 this morning while we were working on another story. san francisco has seen a half inch of rain with this and over on southbound 280, the onramp there at geneva, they were called out for flooding and a mud slide. but cars made their way through nearly a foot of standing water. one officer told me he was on overtime going from call to call. >> i came out earlier and then we had a flooding on the

but i still assert from the very beginning that they were dealing with some sort of problem. >> fran, you still think, you still look obviously at the terrorism angle or sabotage angle, some sort of human involvement here. the questions i've had, and we talked about this before the program, is if it did land somewhere, wouldn't somebody's cell phone on that plane once it was back on land, near you would assume some sort of radar installations, at least be able to be tracked or make some sort of -- unless all the phones were somehow taken? >> right. you've got to -- what does that scenario look like? what are the facts that you need for that to be so? you'd need a runway that's at least a mile long to be able to land it. you'd have to be able to hide it. before you landed that aircraft, you would have to either have confiscated the cell phones of everybody on board, likely somebody would have secreted one or you would have had to have killed everybody on board before you landed that aircraft. then you get it landed. you're going to need presumably the assistance of a foreign government

fran townsend, you're on the advisory board of the cia.ks, it's increasingly looking like this was not some sort of mechanical failure, this was looking like it was man made. >> i think that's right, wolf. but we have to make a distinction even among a man-made event, that doesn't necessarily mean terror. it may mean that somebody took control of the cockpit, but that could be a pilot. we saw in egypt air 990 where the pilot intentionally downs the plane. we're not saying that happens here bs we don't know. it does look like if this plane was in fact in the air for a number of hours after the responder went -- was turned off, you got to presume some control of the aircraft by somebody capable of continuing to fly it. >> how do they determine that? what are they doing? take us a little bit behind the scenes. you were the homeland security adviser to president bush. you've had extensive background in the justice department in these kind of investigations. what are they looking for if they are working under the assumption that a person took t

that plane we knew something was seriously wrong, you can stream this information we don't need this fran tic search for sonar if we allow data to be -- and the cockpit voice recording will only last for two hours and so if it was a seven-hour flight nothing would come up. it would be silence and onboard video periodically streaming video as to what's going on in the cockpit or cabin, that was objected to as an invasion of deprive criticism. i'm a lawyer and let me tell you there's no right to privacy an commercial jet carrying 239 lives. so i don't think the arguments against this technology make any sense whatsoever, but the simple reason is we don't have them because the federal aviation administration and other aviation authorities around the world, because we can only control our pilots and airlines, nobody's ever ordered it. if they ordered it, it would be done. host: marie has this question if they can use detectors over the ocean to find the plane? guest: no. not at this point. 59 this point they have to go strictly off of satellite coordinates and listen for the signals emitted b

back to fran's very important point and we don't have facts. i think that at this point we -- we've got more information, we've got minor pieces of this puzzle, but we are certainly a long way of seeing a picture from it. >> one of the points of fascination is the timing of the turn offof the communication equipment on board. is this something that suggests deliberate action or coiled it have been a massive decompression event on the plane? >> i've been saying all along that because everything went out at once that it had to be intentional. but this new information about 14 mince later would explain something to me about a mechanical failure. if a bus came offline, if something happened to turn the transponders off, then later other things were turned off, that would tell me there was some kind of failure that had to be reacted to. 14 minutes would give you time to transfer the bus power, to deploy emergency generator. >> highway would you then -- how would you then explain no radio contact during that time? >> the fact that is if something hap
