rene marsh just broke this news. rene, what do you know? >> well, brianna, a near midair collision, that's the word from the ntsb at newark airport. it was a united 747 from san francisco to new jersey with 160 passengers onboard. it was coming in for a landing at newark when it came within a half a football field of a united express jet, which was preparing to take off from a perpendicular runway. now both planes were following the directions of newark airport's controllers. i want you to take a listen to the conversation between one of the pilots and the controllers just seconds after this close call. listen. >> traffic off to your right. >> yeah, nose is down. yeah, he was real close. >> all right. well, you heard it right there, he was real close. so quite a close call there. preliminary ntsb report says the two planes, again, were about 50 yards laterally, 135 yards vertically, dangerously close. of course, this happened just last month on the 24th of april. if you remember, that's just the day before another near collision we told you

you just heard rene with this breaking news. you can imagine, you heard kevin talking what it was like to be on the flight. it is frankly a miracle that nobody was up and walking around because the person could have been killed. this was an air traffic control decision. you got two planes going at 600 miles an hour, full at the same altitude because they were where they were supposed to be. how could that happen? >> well, there is a convention in air traffic control westerly flights fly at even altitudes. easterly flights fly at odd altitudes. that's generally what keeps everything separated. controllers do have the discretion to put an aircraft on the opposite direction for various reason, traffic or there is turbulence, any number of things. obviously, when that happens, you want to confirm that this is what you should be doing. and air traffic control needs to be very careful and wary of the fact that they have done just that. now, if two planes are headed on a collision course like that, all kinds of alarms should be ring in

rene marsh is out front.ials now having doubts about the ping data, and specifically those two sets of pings that were originally observed on april 8th? >> that's right. so, erin, a u.s. navy source revealed to us today that reanalysis of some critical data is under way right here in the united states. the source says a couple of agencies, u.s. agencies, as well as consultants, they are now taking a fresh look at the pinger data. crews, as you know, they've centered their search around those four pings believed to be from flight 370's black boxes. cnn has now learned in three to four weeks, these u.s. agencies and consultants are now expected to say whether they believe those sounds were from the black boxes or something else. why do they have doubts? because of the frequency, as well as the length of time at which they were detected. also, erin, "the wall street journal" are reporting about doubt coming from, of all places, the people searching for the missing plane. according to "the wall street journal," a

rene, my heart goes out to the family members who are still stuck in that limbo. they found no wreckage of the plane. on the other hand, they don't know to what believe anymore. >> right. it's fair to question the data. we've made the comparison so many times, but, you know, when you look at air france 447, they had a lot of false leads, had a situation where they heard pings. at least they thought they were pings and when they went to check it out, it -- they weren't pings from black boxes at all. someone mislabeled a tape from a testing that happened days before. and they were listening to the testing tape. so these mistakes happen. it's perfectly fair to raise these doubts about the data. but you know, it is a tough position because there's no evidence. without evidence, there will always be questions. >> rene mash, thanks very much. peter goelz, tom fuentes. >>> still ahead, donald sterling's exclusive interview with our own anderson cooper. he's here in "the situation room." there he is. we'll speak to him live next. >>> and a vote that is called a farce. we'

>> rene marsh, thank you for that. others in the navy says it's too soon to know for sure just what the underwater sounds were. a spokesman telling cnn the comments were speculative and premature, "we continue to work with our partners to more thoroughly understand the data acquired by the towed pinger locator." austral australia, who is leading the search, continues to analyze the recordings, but officials say the final resting place of that jet is not where they were looking. >> obviously, this is important to the families, so important to them. those on board flight 370, the families on board are looking at these new developments. and this is tough for them to hear. they've been looking to find out the fate of their loved ones so long now. sarah bajc's partner, philip wood, was the only american adult on flight 370. she told us last hour here on "early start" she sees this as a hopeful sign that perhaps her partner is still alive. she didn't have anything good to say about the search so far. listen. >> the tail is w

rene marsh is here. seems to be a consensus about whether those pings came from flight 370. >> right. those pings, so to speak, are in question. of course, the headline today is flight 370 isn't where they thought it was. also tonight, we have more from our exclusive interview from a navy official who told us that the pings were not from the plane's black boxes. the navy quickly tried to walk back those comments calling it premature and speculative. premature perhaps. but this morning they called it accurate. it's now official, australia telling the world that flight 370 is not in the area where pings were detected. >> no signs of aircraft debris have been found. the area can now be discounted as the final resting place for flight 370. >> reporter: that means it's back to focusing on a larger area, hundreds of miles elsewhere along the inmarsat achl arc. this, one day after michael dean, deputy director of the ocean engineering, said in an exclusive interview, the pings were likely not from flight 370's

rene was saying, you know, it's basically going to explain how they got their math. think so. i think just to see them do their homework and how it was arrived at the longhand calculations that they used to determine it and the fact that all the experts have examined that same data. >> so we're kind of checking the work, if you will, like a math teacher does. is that what we expect, peter? >> right. it may or may not help the situation because aviation experts across the globe are going to cherry pick some of the data. they're going to challenge some of the assumptions. this -- you know, more information doesn't necessarily bring clarity. >> wait, is that bad, though? let's say that they diverge for a while then eventually maybe converge. >> we haven't found anything. so more information, more analysis, let's get as many sets of fresh eyes on this because we're not going to start again as rene said for two months. let's take a deep breath and see where we're headed. >> so we've been looking now -- not we, we've certainly been involved in covering this. the search for

it's a stunning setback, and rene marsh broke the news. and rene, wow is really all i can say right now. >> i pretty much said the same thing today, erin. i said wow when we learned this information, because it all boils down to this. for seven and a half weeks, we've been searching for something that simply was not there. the u.s. navy is on camera and talking to cnn tonight. we are told the black boxes were not in the search zone, and most likely neither is the plane. it was the most promising lead, and now we know it's false. new information the u.s. navy has concluded these four underwater signals were not from the missing plane's black boxes. >> from the u.s. navy's standpoint, these sounds were most likely not from the black boxes. >> yes, i'd have to say at this point, based on all of the imagery data we've collected and looked at. if that black box were nearby, we would have picked it up. >> reporter: when detected in april, the pings boosted confidence the plane would be found. >> the full signals previously acquired taken togethe

there is a medicine call bromine and it is similar to clore rene and they used that to clean the wounds of the gan green patients and they got good results in stopping what would have been fatal. but mainly, they learned from each other -- we are used to in american medicine to have fancy hospitals and the gray hair doctors at the top, and then down the chain. american medicine had not seen that but saw it in the civil war. a hospital in richmond had 5,000 patients and they were organized in teams and the more experienced taught the less experienced. so you saw the beginning of medical education on a modern model as well in the war. it would not mature until dec e decades later. >> difference in medical from the north and south? >> not much difference in the theory. but the south lacked many of the things the north had. there was an attempt to keep goods from going to the south. they didn't have as much items as they needed and food got shorter and shorter as the war went on. whereas the union would say a hospital with a hundred beds needs a certain amount of things everything thing mon

renee marsh begins our coverage. >> reporter: almost two months after flight 370 vanished, malaysian authorities finally released an initial report to the public. the five-page document doesn't explain why the plane went missing but does make clear that for hours after the plane went missing there was confusion and misinformation. moments after the flight's now famous final communication. >> malaysian 370 contact -- >> good night. >> good night. 370. >> reporter: the plane's transponder goes off causing it to disappear from radar at 1:21 a.m. local time. but the report shows it was 17 minutes before air traffic controllers in vietnam asked their counterparts in malaysia what happened to the plane. during that time, the plane unexpectedly turned left eventually recrossing the peninsula. radar tracked it but did nothing. the report shows during this time malaysia airlines may have added to the confusion sending two messages to air traffic control. both of which turned out to be false. the first at 2:03 a.m. claiming the plane was in cambodian air space, it was not. the second message a

cnn aviation correspondent rene marsh is here and how close were they in colliding?cording to an official that was speaking at a conference, the information that he shared so far is simply that this passenger plane, a u.s. airways passenger plane was flying and came into close contact with this drone and some 23,000 feet in the air. according to this faa official at the conference, the pilot thought that the drone actually hit this plane. that's how close they came to one another. once they got on the ground, they were able to inspect the plane. they were able to determine the drone did not make contact with this plane. scary. we're talking about 20, 30,000 feet. this is an example of just a recreational drone that you have here. you have all sorts of drones and obviously this one made it up 23,000 feet and was not one of those recreational drones. it really highlights the reason why the faa has been working for so long to essentially come out with a blueprint for how to safely integrate these drones into the air space because they are predicting over the next five y

renee marsh is joining us. what are you hearing about the raw data? >> it could eventually be a win for the families. it was only a matter of time. before we have concrete answers about what happened on board malaysia flight 370, there's talk of a film. it's rubbing families the wrong way. with no wreckage, no passengers, and few answers, fiction is filling the void. ♪ a filmmaker seeking investors to make a movie showed this trailer at the cannes film festival. featuring a gun, a panicked kiss. pitching a movie regarding missing malaysia airlines plane already? this desensitized money hungry world at its brazen best. >> we pretty much know nothing. except that the airplane is gone. it is typical that when you don't have answers, speculation fills the void. >> reporter: and there's plenty of speculation. a former malaysian prime minister points the finger at the plane's manufacturer and the cia. saying clearly boeing and certain agencies have the capacity to take over commercial airliners. the plane is somewhere maybe without mass markings. the same p

>> rene marsh reporting. thank you very much. >>> let's bring in david soucie, cnn safety analyst and author of "why planes crash" and mary schiavo, former inspector general for the department of transportation. welcome to you both. i'm listening to the air traffic control chatter and it's a little freaky. how close was this incident to disaster? >> this was very close to disaster. more importantly, this is a violation of federal air regulations. this is what's called an operational error. that means the air traffic controller made a mistake. they're supposed to be three miles apart. depending upon the phase of the flight, 2,000 feet or more. so this was very, very close. >> david, i know newark airport changed its rules regarding runway use for takeoffs and landings. does every airport need to do this? >> there's a lot of things that had to do with newark airport, including the closure of one of the airports themselves. when you look at how to change that and where it goes, it changes the operational paramet

clay aiken will be ton battle against two-term incumbent renee ellmers.lay aiken joining me live from raleigh, north carolina. welcome back to the show, mr. aiken. >> we'll talk about your race straight away. first i have to ask about the news coming out of washington today. you have, as you are well aware, american war veterans dieing, awaiting treatment at va hospitals. we talked you being pro military, your brother who served in iraq. are you angry about this, these deadly delays facing war veterans? >> i think people should all be very frustrated with the disorganization, to put it lightly, of the va. the va is an unwheel difficult organization. i think some of the mismanagement that it's had over the past several years has started shows itself. obviously we see what's happened in phoenix. i wouldn't be surprised if we saw some of these issues were popping up in other places in the country. the va is unwieldy, very mismanaged. i think we have to do better for veterans. you're right, my brother is a vet and there are many, many veterans in this distric

the most recent mers patient in orlando. >> renee marsh, thank you so much. the cdc is still learning about the mers virus. first reported in saudi arabia in 2012. this graph shows the number of worldwide cases. there was a sudden explosion in cases last month. these numbers with not complete for april or this month. let's bring in the head of mers response activities for the cdc. dr. david swerdlow. the patient in the florida case traveled from saudi arabia on may 1st. the case was not reported until may 11th. everybody he came in contact with is still in the potential incubation period, correct? >> that's right. we think it's about five days. but it's up to about 14 days. we're watching people for a full 14 days. >> are you concerned we could see an explosion of cases in the u.s. over the incubation period? or is this a question of caution and health officials being overly cautious. just because we don't want to take chances. >> i think you said it perfectly. we don't want to take chances with the virus. we don't know how it's transmitted exactly. we're not

renee elmers is a member of congress, a republican member of congress from north carolina. the democratic primary to pick someone to run against her this year got a fair amount of national attention because one of the leading candidates is the famous "american idol" runner-up clay aiken. since the primary vote on tuesday, clay aiken has been sweating out the vote count from what turned out to be his extremely close primary contest against a very well known and well respected in north carolina, his name is keith crisco, the former commerce secretary in north carolina. clay aiken led by just a few hundred votes. even as of today, the race is still considered too close to call. a county by county canvas to finalize the vote and count any absentee votes, that was scheduled to take place tomorrow. after that official result was announced, it turned out that the margin between the two was going to be less than 1%, rules provided there would be a run-off between the two candidates to see who could face renee elmers in the fall. in that context tonight on the eve of the official fi

renee mar marsh, cnn, washingt >> thank you so much.rings up more questions about how exactly the plane was lost, the missions to find the plane continues. the bluefin-21 which uses under water sonar has up until now focused on that area surrounding the location of a detected ping, possibly from the black box. but with no sign of the plane, the under water search must move on to nearby areas where they hope to find evidence. australia's former aviation minister and ambassador to the u.s., ken beasley, joins me now to discuss. mr. ambassador, always good to see you. thanks for joining us. >> good to be here. >> how will they select new areas to focus on now that the detected pings led to nothing. >> they have identified a box, using australian terms, which is roughly -- they will bring in extra equipment that's in the process of being contracted. in the meantime, they are continuing when weather permits, with the bluefin search. when the air france plane went down, people basically knew where it was. searched for it for about two years a
