nbc sarah james in australia, former ntsb investigator greg five is in denver. we first start with bill neely. tell ug what is the latest as they comb the beach. have they found anything else? >> good afternoon, andrea. yes, i'm at the beach at st. andre where the debris was found yesterday. it's pitch-black at the moment but since that debris was found people have been searching the beach and this coast in fishing boats, helicopter coast guard ship trying to find any evidence of any more debris because it's quite possible because of the current if it is to be believed that this might be from mh-370. but one piece of debris has arrived, then some more may follow. that's what oceanographers thought a long time ago. many people here and indeed for those investigators, i think the key thing is that code that was embedded on the piece of debris 657bb. we're not absolutely sure that that relates to a boeing 777. there are people on social media who are saying they've looked at the boeing manual. it does indeed show that code. and if that were true that would prove th

nbc's sarah james, thank you for that. let's now bring in two familiar faces from our mh-370 coverage a year ago. and pilot anthony roman president of the global investigation firm roman. thank you both for being with us. the first big question here has been where is this plane. if this is in fact mh-370 the next question is what happened to this plane? how much can this piece of debris tell us about what caused the plane to go down? >> well, this piece of debris it's physical evidence and it can tell us perhaps the type of impact that occurred. whether or not there was a mid-air catastrophic failure of the airplane. it can tell us that kind of thing. perhaps a mid-air explosion. if there's any microscopic chemical debris on it or any crazing of the metal. however, the facts, if they've been reported correctly to date with regard to the early flight pattern of the aircraft when it first deviated from its flight plan, made the 180-degree turn, overflew malaysia, made a right-hand turn left-hand turn and then proceeded to th

nbc's sarah james live for us in australia. them so confident that this really could be the linchpin to solving the mystery? >> reporter: well, thomas there's a couple of things about this piece that are important. first of all, in and of itself it's going to be studied for any potential clues. it might provide some information about how the plane hit the water. but it's really also important in terms of providing an end point if this does prove to be a piece of the wing of mh-370 that kind of provides the outer mark for wreckage and that's really important to the people who have been doing the drift modeling and this is making the assessment about how the currents work both east-west and that gyre, that circular motion. it's kind of a washing machine in the indian ocean as pieces get tossed around. so they've had to do these very complicated models to try to figure out where the wreckage where mh-370 would wind up. i spoke to david griffin who is the oceanographer who's leading the drift model task force. here's what he had to

me from australia outside the office where the search for mh-370 has been headquarters is nbc's sarah jamesis has reinvigorated the search efforts. >> reporter: that's exactly right, thomas. they've been working for such a long time, day after day, month after month, more than a year searching a very difficult treacherous part of the indian ocean, 200 people at a time in one port or another, keeping going. it's hard to keep up that energy and that momentum. and then to know that a piece of a large aircraft has been found, well, they are hoping that this may be a clue to the puzzle. and of course if that piece of debris does turn out to be a piece of a boeing 777, well, there is only one 777 that is missing. and that will make it very likely that it is mh-370. i spoke earlier just a few hours ago to the chief of the australian transport safety bureau. they're heading up this investigation. here's what he had to say. >> significance for us is if we get confirmation that it's associated with the 77 aircraft that probably with mh-370 then we will know based on drift modelling of surface debris

nbc's sarah james is in australia for us.arch efforts off the coast of australia? >> well, it's a significant piece of information. if indeed it does prove, and we don't know that yet, if it does prove to be a piece of missing malaysia airline mh 370 then that is intriguing to those here because that drift pattern is consistent with the area where they have been searching. now they've used all kinds of scientific techniques satellite imagery, oceanography and others to map out that area where they really think they could find the missing jet. but that drift pattern is consistent. i spoke to the man who is the head of this investigation, the cheer commissioner of australia's transportation safety bureau. here's what he had to say. >> the drift modeling show that over time the wreckage from any aircraft in the indian ocean would disburse to a whole range of different places depending on the type of debris and travel a long way and most of it would travel west. so no great surprise here that it has been found. the real surprise

>>> australia has been leading the search efforts since mh370 vanished, and that's where nbc's sarah jamesah, you spoke to the experts, the chief oceanographer for mh370. what did he tell you? >> david griffin is an oceanographer, and he's leading the team of the suspected trajectory of the drift pattern of the pieces of debris. as you can imagine, it's an incredibly complicated effort something they've never had to do before look a year and a half out after an event where they do not know precisely where the plane hit the water and try to figure out where the debris would land. but guess what? they were just at a conference last week and david griffin, this oceanographer said if debris were floating up that it should come up in the vicinity of madagascar. three days later, a big piece of a plane washes up on reunion beach. now, what they did immediately after that jose was that they reran their models their computer programs. and here's an interesting factor. one thing that they did, originally they had accounted for things like ocean currents that big gire the circular patterns. but ther

when james and sarah for roosevelt went on their honeymoon it was a year-long trip to europe because that's what you did after you got married. he took off to europe with your servants and your 300 bags on the steamer and you did the european tour. he didn't worry about who is paying the taxes back home. but what was remarkable despite that financial and social advantage, they really faced a great any obstacles too. certainly looking at eleanor's case, her childhood and her alcoholic father and her mother who died very young, just incredibly tragic so one of the things you see as despite her privileged position she still had a great deal to offer, and what next are so remarkable is that she was able to take that and translated into action and really have the empathy part and she could say it's not just enough that i overcame all the stuff that she could have very easily have said having overcome all of this i have earned the life of bees and now i'm going to enjoy it but instead she did just the opposite and really jumped into every imaginable challenge. again i'm not going to recap

one is from sarah polk, and she signed it "mrs. james polk of polk place, nashville, davidson county, tennessee." and then we also have another autograph that is kind of interesting, and it was written by samuel clemens, also known as mark twain. and what he wrote is that, "total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extreme. in my passion for it, i even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself." now, that does sound like something mark twain would say. in addition to these beautifully bound autograph books, the women's group also had these lovely portieres made for lucy. they're exquisitely and intricately embroidered. they're very large. basically, portieres were door curtains, and they hung right here in the house in this doorway, and they divided this room, the library parlor, from the president's study. susan swain: tom culbertson, what were their post-white house years like? thomas culbertson: well, they weren't as long as they really wanted them to be, but they reall
