indian officials were reluctant to discuss radar data along the bay of bengal. why?a is a weak spot in that country's coverage. a limitation that they wish not to reveal. there have been complaints that china won't share all of its data, and that when it does so, the images have been altered to hide their true capability. thailand has come under scrutiny as well. the radar picked up the jet on march 8th. thai officials waited eight days to report that the list goes on and on. furious families are looking to hold somebody accountable. some are looking in the direction of boeing? how do you know when a government or a big corporation is covering up? keith masback is here and has extensive experience in intelligence gathering. steven marks says the best case scenario for boeing may just be that the plane is never found. why do you say that? >> the plane has details such as the flight data reporter and voice data recorder. without that evidence we're left with all the speculation that is occurring right now. boeing is participating in the investigation, they have a great
