Because you are in communications with it 133 00:09:50,922 --> 00:09:56,234 Unlike GPS, ACARS does not provide constant location data 134 00:09:56,258 --> 00:10:00,858 but what it does provide is vital information on how the plane is performing 135 00:10:00,882 --> 00:10:04,032 including crucially its fuel load. 136 00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:08,739 This allows investigators to estimate how far it could have flown 137 00:10:09,088 --> 00:10:13,810 but without knowing the direction of flight, it is not much to go on 138 00:10:13,834 --> 00:10:18,929 The search area grows to more than 100,000 mileĀ² 139 00:10:18,953 --> 00:10:21,222 The element what was the most startling was: 140 00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:23,500 "What do you mean, we didn't know where this airplane was 141 00:10:23,524 --> 00:10:27,571 What do you mean we lost track something as big as a Boeing 777? 142 00:10:27,595 --> 00:10:31,301 This isn't the first time that an airliner has vanished. 143 00:10:31,325 --> 00:10:37,672 Air France flight 447 disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean in 2009. 144 00:10:38,197 --> 00:10:41,073 Though floating debris was found within days, 145 00:10:41,098 --> 00:10:45,447 it took nearly 2 years to find the sunken wreckage. 146 00:10:45,610 --> 00:10:50,142 Leopold Sartorius was a key investigator during that search 147 00:10:50,166 --> 00:10:51,824 In the case of the Malaysian, 148 00:10:51,849 --> 00:10:57,986 apparently the search area is at least 3 to 4 times bigger 149 00:10:58,011 --> 00:11:04,071 than the original Air France 447 search area, which already was quite huge. 150 00:11:04,096 --> 00:11:06,544 French investigators ultimately conclude 151 00:11:06,569 --> 00:11:13,278 that the pilots on Air France Flight 447 made a series of stunning errors, leading to the crash. 152 00:11:13,302 --> 00:11:19,524 That conclusion would have been impossible without the undersea recovery of the black boxes. 153 00:11:24,548 --> 00:11:29,984 We had much more than the investigators seem to have today in the case of the Malaysian 154 00:11:30,008 --> 00:11:32,071 but already, with all we had 155 00:11:32,096 --> 00:11:38,269 it was very difficult to reach conclusions without the flight recorders 156 00:11:40,348 --> 00:11:44,951 In the search for Flight 370, there is no time to loose 157 00:11:44,976 --> 00:11:48,570 Ocean currents could already be moving the flight-recorders 158 00:11:48,594 --> 00:11:51,943 or worse: Burying them under silt. 159 00:11:55,181 --> 00:12:00,887 A careful review of the passenger manifest by Malaysian police turns up an alarming lead 160 00:12:00,911 --> 00:12:04,665 Two passengers boarded the plane illegally. 161 00:12:04,689 --> 00:12:10,625 Very early in the case it was determined that there were passengers using stolen passports 162 00:12:10,649 --> 00:12:14,595 that were in the Interpol database as stolen passports. 163 00:12:17,697 --> 00:12:22,626 It suddenly seems possible that Flight 370 hasn't crashed after all 164 00:12:23,141 --> 00:12:27,609 Perhaps hijackers somehow seized control of the plane. 165 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:30,346 I began to develop hope, 166 00:12:30,371 --> 00:12:33,291 because it didn't appear there was any wreckage in the water 167 00:12:33,315 --> 00:12:36,616 This wasn't only a hijacking, but it was a hostage taking 168 00:12:36,648 --> 00:12:42,219 and we would hear a demand for 2xx hostages to be repatriated if certain things were done 169 00:12:42,243 --> 00:12:44,243 That was the best hope. 170 00:12:54,132 --> 00:12:59,076 370, contact Ho Chi Minh 120,9, Goodnight 171 00:13:04,402 --> 00:13:08,274 Since 9/11, mid-air hijackings are extremely unlikely... 172 00:13:12,901 --> 00:13:14,901 ...but not impossible. 173 00:13:15,805 --> 00:13:19,178 One thing you learn in any form of accident investigation is: 174 00:13:19,203 --> 00:13:20,662 You rule nothing out 175 00:13:28,786 --> 00:13:34,163 If the captain or the copilot use the rest-room they come out of their cockpit 176 00:13:34,187 --> 00:13:39,433 Tom Fuentes is uniquely qualified to consider how a hijacking might unfold 177 00:13:39,457 --> 00:13:42,512 He spent 29 years with the FBI. 178 00:13:42,536 --> 00:13:45,940 So, all the security in the world means nothing 179 00:13:45,965 --> 00:13:49,924 when they leave the controlled environment of the cockpit. 180 00:14:05,122 --> 00:14:07,122 Take me to the cockpit, or I kill her 181 00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:10,419 OKAY, just don't hurt anyone 182 00:14:11,098 --> 00:14:12,522 What do you want? 183 00:14:12,547 --> 00:14:15,078 Open the cockpit door 184 00:14:15,133 --> 00:14:20,585 The lack of any demands would be unusual but hijackings don't always go according to plan 185 00:14:20,609 --> 00:14:25,497 Could the disappearance of Flight 370 be a case of a hijacking gone wrong? 186 00:14:25,536 --> 00:14:31,473 There are always possibilities that whatever the plan was in MH370, it failed 187 00:14:31,497 --> 00:14:34,608 That for one reason or another, it did not work out as expected 188 00:14:34,632 --> 00:14:37,679 That is one of the reasons why it is difficult to understand. 189 00:14:37,703 --> 00:14:42,195 One such failed hijacking took place in 1996 190 00:14:42,219 --> 00:14:46,353 aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 191 00:14:46,924 --> 00:14:52,614 The Boeing 767 was on a routine trip from Addis Ababa to the Ivory Coast 192 00:14:52,655 --> 00:14:56,044 when 3 young Ethiopians made their move. 193 00:14:59,901 --> 00:15:01,901 Get out 194 00:15:05,777 --> 00:15:07,777 Fly to Australia 195 00:15:08,364 --> 00:15:09,721 Fly us to Australia 196 00:15:09,745 --> 00:15:11,745 We don't have enough fuel to get to Australia 197 00:15:11,769 --> 00:15:13,388 We have a bomb 198 00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:16,705 If you don't do what we tell you to we will blow this plane out of the sky. 199 00:15:16,729 --> 00:15:18,729 We only have 2 hours of fuel 200 00:15:18,761 --> 00:15:21,038 The hijackers didn't believe the captain 201 00:15:21,063 --> 00:15:25,789 when he told them the 767 was going to run out of fuel. 202 00:15:25,813 --> 00:15:29,257 3 hours later, near the Comoros islands 203 00:15:29,282 --> 00:15:34,479 the jet hit the water at more than 230 mph 204 00:15:38,685 --> 00:15:43,784 125 of the 175 people on board were killed 205 00:15:43,808 --> 00:15:46,514 including all of the hijackers. 206 00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:53,611 Did a hijacker force his way into the cockpit of Flight 370? 207 00:15:55,944 --> 00:15:59,713 Stay calm, I am entering the heading now 208 00:16:09,598 --> 00:16:14,240 I thought that there was a very strong possibility if that plane turned around 209 00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:17,026 it could have crashed into the jungles of Malaysia 210 00:16:17,050 --> 00:16:19,661 or into the jungles of Indonesia 211 00:16:19,692 --> 00:16:25,875 that went through all the vegetation into a swamp which would keep it from being found. 212 00:16:25,899 --> 00:16:28,923 That would be very easy for a plane to crash in the jungle 213 00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:30,947 and not be found. 214 00:16:31,169 --> 00:16:35,296 Agencies around the world scour radar records for clues 215 00:16:35,883 --> 00:16:37,883 Then, on March 11th, 216 00:16:39,351 --> 00:16:42,121 three days after the plane's disappearance 217 00:16:42,145 --> 00:16:48,041 the Malaysian Military releases radar data that seems to support the hijacking theory. 218 00:16:49,144 --> 00:16:55,366 Three minutes after its last radio call Flight 370 made a sharp turn off course 219 00:16:55,390 --> 00:17:00,675 At the moment that it appeared, that there was a shadowy trace of this airplane making a left turn 220 00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:03,993 immediately after the last radio call of ATC 221 00:17:04,018 --> 00:17:07,489 the possibility of hijack jumps into your face 222 00:17:07,513 --> 00:17:10,194 That possibility seems even more likely 223 00:17:10,219 --> 00:17:14,240 when photos from a previous flight co-piloted by Fariq Hamid 224 00:17:14,264 --> 00:17:18,470 sparks speculation that he didn't always keep the cockpit secure 225 00:17:18,921 --> 00:17:25,254 If you got flight crews who are, shall we say, prone to break the rules and let somebody up there 226 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:28,389 because they just want to do that in a comradely way 227 00:17:28,413 --> 00:17:31,221 They can open the door to anybody It might be a pretty girl 228 00:17:31,245 --> 00:17:34,807 but that pretty girl might have a confederate and a gun in her purse 229 00:17:34,831 --> 00:17:40,473 They may only have a small weapon or intended to have a weapon 230 00:17:40,497 --> 00:17:44,426 Now they get in there and 231 00:17:44,450 --> 00:17:46,450 they have what they need. 232 00:18:00,333 --> 00:18:04,636 In the media frenzy surrounding the disappearance of Flight 370 233 00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:07,390 there is talk of a possible hijacking 234 00:18:07,414 --> 00:18:11,945 but for aviation experts, something about the theory doesn't fit. 235 00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:14,921 I just need to check my charge, is that alright? 236 00:18:14,945 --> 00:18:16,945 Hurry up 237 00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:23,730 Pilots have several ways to send emergency signals to the ground. 238 00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:31,071 You've got radios to talk on, you got emergency frequencies, 239 00:18:31,096 --> 00:18:33,666 you can put something in the ACAR system and type it in 240 00:18:33,690 --> 00:18:36,515 and you've got a code that you can put in to the transponder 241 00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:41,475 that instantly lets the world of aviation know you have been hijacked. 242 00:18:42,348 --> 00:18:45,989 They refer it as squawking: It is sending out a special frequency 243 00:18:46,014 --> 00:18:49,267 that would go back to the control tower and to the airline 244 00:18:49,292 --> 00:18:51,961 and say: 'this is the hijacking code' 245 00:18:52,659 --> 00:18:58,992 But Air Traffic Controllers never received a squawked code or any other alert from Flight 370 246 00:18:59,302 --> 00:19:03,022 and an intensive police investigation has lifted suspicion 247 00:19:03,047 --> 00:19:06,571 from the passengers, travelling on stolen passports. 248 00:19:06,595 --> 00:19:09,040 They certainly had no links to terrorism. 249 00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:09,722 In fact, 250 00:19:09,747 --> 00:19:14,056 no one on board seems to have any connection with any terrorist group. 251 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,309 We are talking of thousands of people looked at interviews being done 252 00:19:22,238 --> 00:19:31,384 At least the public should realize that this was a very, very extensive investigation 253 00:19:40,233 --> 00:19:42,796 With armed hijacking looking less likely 254 00:19:42,820 --> 00:19:46,375 authorities focus on the few existing leads in the case 255 00:19:46,399 --> 00:19:49,494 including some troubling timing. 256 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:53,914 2 minutes after the last voice communication from the cockpit, 257 00:19:53,938 --> 00:19:57,557 Flight 370's transponder cuts out. 258 00:19:57,581 --> 00:20:01,302 Transponders transmit information like flight number and position 259 00:20:01,327 --> 00:20:03,684 to controllers on the ground. 260 00:20:03,763 --> 00:20:07,596 Loosing that signal makes it harder to track the plane. 261 00:20:08,017 --> 00:20:11,659 Even more troubling: a few minutes after the transponder cuts out 262 00:20:11,683 --> 00:20:15,215 the signal from the ACARS also switches off. 263 00:20:15,865 --> 00:20:19,381 Turning off the transponder is extremely straight forward, extremely simple, 264 00:20:19,405 --> 00:20:22,024 even on a sophisticated jet like the 777 265 00:20:22,048 --> 00:20:25,770 Turning off the ACARS is not so simple, it takes a lot of knowledge 266 00:20:25,912 --> 00:20:31,446 It is difficult to imagine a routine glitch that would cause the sudden loss of both systems 267 00:20:31,470 --> 00:20:34,145 The answer probably lies elsewhere 268 00:20:39,232 --> 00:20:43,478 There are only two things after a while that begin to parse out 269 00:20:43,502 --> 00:20:46,079 1. This is a purposeful act 270 00:20:46,103 --> 00:20:49,406 the other is a massive emergency 271 00:20:53,834 --> 00:20:59,493 An on board fire is one of the most catastrophic emergencies a crew can face. 272 00:21:03,874 --> 00:21:06,667 It can damage multiple systems 273 00:21:06,691 --> 00:21:08,063 including electronics. 274 00:21:08,087 --> 00:21:09,285 There goes the ACARS 275 00:21:09,286 --> 00:21:10,284 Sometimes... 276 00:21:10,832 --> 00:21:13,270 ...in unpredictable ways. 277 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,844 A fire such as that could affect the electrical system. 278 00:21:21,868 --> 00:21:25,447 And so conceivably, you could loose some capabilities. 279 00:21:26,669 --> 00:21:28,669 In November of 1987, 280 00:21:28,693 --> 00:21:33,018 a South African Airways 747 was bound for Johannesburg. 281 00:21:34,946 --> 00:21:40,851 Fire broke out in its cargo area on the main deck directly behind the passengers. 282 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:45,096 By the time the crew got to it, the fire was raging. 283 00:21:57,050 --> 00:22:00,269 The Captain initiated an emergency descend. 284 00:22:01,189 --> 00:22:04,007 Mauritius, Mauritius Springbok 295 285 00:22:04,506 --> 00:22:07,459 Springbok 295, Mauritius, Good morning, Go ahead 286 00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:10,461 Good morning, we have a smoke problem 287 00:22:10,486 --> 00:22:14,762 and we are doing an emergency descend to level 1,500 ft 288 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,816 Thick noxious smoke filled the cabin 289 00:22:17,847 --> 00:22:20,795 And the captain lost power to key-instruments 290 00:22:20,819 --> 00:22:22,279 Now, we lost a lot of electrics 291 00:22:22,304 --> 00:22:25,351 We haven't got anything on the aircraft 292 00:22:25,375 --> 00:22:28,740 The South African 747 never made it home. 293 00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:32,938 159 people died, when the plane hit the Indian Ocean. 294 00:22:35,937 --> 00:22:39,590 The cargo manifest from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 295 00:22:39,614 --> 00:22:43,252 reveals it was carrying some potentially dangerous cargo 296 00:22:43,276 --> 00:22:48,395 487 lbs of highly flammable Li-ion batteries 297 00:22:48,419 --> 00:22:51,855 Is it possible that they spark the catastrophic fire? 298 00:22:51,879 --> 00:22:58,339 The amount/weight of Li-Ion batteries exceed normal standards 299 00:22:58,369 --> 00:23:02,892 considered to be safe or did they violate that and put too much on 300 00:23:02,917 --> 00:23:09,234 and then maybe put it in the wrong cargo area, where the fire suppression wasn't as robust 301 00:23:09,258 --> 00:23:11,258 as where it supposed to be 302 00:23:11,615 --> 00:23:13,108 There is a fire on board 303 00:23:13,133 --> 00:23:17,639 Mayday, mayday, this is Malaysia 370, We have a fire on board 304 00:23:20,130 --> 00:23:21,590 There goes the ACARS 305 00:23:21,614 --> 00:23:23,400 A sudden fire might explain 306 00:23:23,425 --> 00:23:28,318 both the failure of the cockpit instruments and the abrupt left turn 307 00:23:32,518 --> 00:23:35,089 turning left, heading 240 308 00:23:35,113 --> 00:23:39,438 Perhaps the crew was changing course to prepare for an emergency landing 309 00:23:39,462 --> 00:23:41,462 The crews do have oxygen 310 00:23:41,486 --> 00:23:46,247 and one of the first things they do in the event of fire or smoke is to use the oxygen 311 00:23:46,271 --> 00:23:49,589 And that will give them at least an hour of oxygen to work with 312 00:23:49,613 --> 00:23:51,549 So, there is that possibility. 313 00:23:51,574 --> 00:23:54,398 But the fire theory has a major flaw 314 00:23:54,422 --> 00:23:58,890 The main problem with the fire scenario, not seeming likely to me is 315 00:23:58,914 --> 00:24:02,382 The #1 thing is that there was no radio call 316 00:24:02,406 --> 00:24:06,675 The cargo base fire alarm should have sounded before the fire had spread 317 00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:10,447 The first thing that you do is oxygen mask on, 100% 318 00:24:10,472 --> 00:24:13,937 Make sure my body over here has his/her oxygen mask on 319 00:24:14,008 --> 00:24:17,277 We are going to declare an emergency immediately we are going to turn the airplane around 320 00:24:17,301 --> 00:24:20,237 We are going to look for the nearest suitable airport 321 00:24:20,261 --> 00:24:25,594 There is another compelling reason to doubt that a fire brought down Flight 370 322 00:24:25,618 --> 00:24:30,626 In London, a small team of engineers at INMARSAT has made a startling discovery. 323 00:24:31,237 --> 00:24:33,856 The team was looking on Sunday 324 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,562 They initially found something they couldn't quite believe. 325 00:24:37,586 --> 00:24:41,131 What they've uncovered immediately casts a troubling new light 326 00:24:41,156 --> 00:24:44,475 on the mysterious events aboard Flight 370. 327 00:24:47,238 --> 00:24:50,745 INMARSAT technicians have made a stunning discovery. 328 00:24:50,769 --> 00:24:53,077 Deep in the ACARS data, 329 00:24:53,102 --> 00:24:57,253 they have uncovered a series of automated signals or handshakes 330 00:24:57,293 --> 00:25:01,721 received from Flight 370 long after it was assumed to have crashed. 331 00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:07,483 It is done through an invisible handshake or ping between the network and the unit itself 332 00:25:08,244 --> 00:25:12,291 The plane's ACARS computer continues to answer the automated pings 333 00:25:12,316 --> 00:25:19,702 from the INMARSAT ground-station, every hour, from 2:25 AM until 8:19 AM 334 00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:24,622 The aircraft was continuing to signal, a request for service 335 00:25:24,646 --> 00:25:30,066 not for minutes up to the loss but for over 7 hours after it had disappeared 336 00:25:30,090 --> 00:25:32,090 from the radar system. 337 00:25:32,367 --> 00:25:37,467 The discovery means Flight 370 did not crash into the Gulf of Thailand 338 00:25:37,491 --> 00:25:40,651 but was in the air for another 7 hours 339 00:25:40,675 --> 00:25:47,635 What changed everything to me and everybody else was that INMARSAT satellite data. 340 00:25:47,659 --> 00:25:51,405 That says: 'Wait a minute, that plane flew for hours' 341 00:25:51,429 --> 00:25:56,079 A 7 hour flight makes it nearly impossible to believe a fire brought down the plane 342 00:25:56,103 --> 00:26:01,079 With a fuel energized fire, the airplane is not going to be capable of flying that many hours 343 00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:07,261 The timing matches earlier ACARS data about flight 370's fuel consumption 344 00:26:07,562 --> 00:26:13,283 The plane had enough fuel to keep flying on AUTOPILOT for 7 hours 345 00:26:13,307 --> 00:26:17,427 but no one knows what was happening on board during all that time. 346 00:26:18,633 --> 00:26:21,160 We now know that it went in a certain direction 347 00:26:21,184 --> 00:26:24,442 We know that it went thousands of miles out there, it flew for hours 348 00:26:24,466 --> 00:26:27,458 whether anybody was alive or not, we don't know. 349 00:26:27,482 --> 00:26:33,085 Once the fuel tanks ran dry the 2 engines would have cut out one after another 350 00:26:33,109 --> 00:26:35,857 putting the 777 into a downward spiral 351 00:26:35,881 --> 00:26:37,881 until it crashed into the sea. 352 00:26:41,595 --> 00:26:46,904 The new scenario bears a striking resemblance to another mysterious accident: 353 00:26:46,928 --> 00:26:54,193 In August, 2005, Helios Flight 522 was on route from Cyprus to Athens. 354 00:26:58,462 --> 00:27:02,237 Operations, this is Flight 522, over 355 00:27:02,261 --> 00:27:04,261 Flight 522, what can I do for you? 356 00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:08,173 We have a take off configuration warning. 357 00:27:11,966 --> 00:27:15,866 In the cabin, oxygen masks suddenly dropped. 358 00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:19,057 To the pilots, the alarms made no sense 359 00:27:19,081 --> 00:27:21,907 and then, the plane went silent. 360 00:27:23,581 --> 00:27:29,207 1.5 hour later, the Greek Airforce scrambled two fighter jets to investigate. 361 00:27:29,231 --> 00:27:34,111 They spotted someone slumped over the controls in the First Officer's seat, 362 00:27:34,135 --> 00:27:36,834 but there was no sign of the Captain. 363 00:27:37,794 --> 00:27:42,190 There is one figure in the cockpit of Helios Flight 522 364 00:27:42,594 --> 00:27:44,594 It appears not responsive. 365 00:27:48,046 --> 00:27:52,998 They saw someone moving in the cockpit, just before the 747 suddenly turned 366 00:27:53,022 --> 00:27:55,022 and made a quick descend. 367 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,504 As the plane sped downward, 368 00:27:58,529 --> 00:28:02,597 the person in the cockpit finally acknowledged the fighter jet 369 00:28:02,621 --> 00:28:05,490 but no words were exchanged 370 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,699 Moments later, Helios Flight 522 slammed into the ground 371 00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:16,938 An investigation into the Helios crash revealed, 372 00:28:16,963 --> 00:28:22,269 that the previous cabin crew had reported seeing ice on the rear service door. 373 00:28:22,293 --> 00:28:25,396 A ground engineer, investigating the problem, 374 00:28:25,421 --> 00:28:31,702 ran tests that required him to switch the cabin pressurization control from AUTO to MAN... 375 00:28:31,726 --> 00:28:34,144 ...but he didn't switch it back. 376 00:28:35,485 --> 00:28:39,604 When the plane took off again, the cabin didn't pressurize automatically 377 00:28:39,628 --> 00:28:42,397 and oxygen levels began to drop. 378 00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:46,995 Hypoxia can result in head-aches, confusion, 379 00:28:47,019 --> 00:28:49,805 difficulty understanding what was happening 380 00:28:49,829 --> 00:28:52,749 memory loss, shortness of breath 381 00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:59,003 What is especially sinister about hypoxia (all pilots are warned about this) 382 00:28:59,138 --> 00:29:01,796 you don't recognize that you are impaired. 383 00:29:03,041 --> 00:29:07,573 Overhead masks deploy when cabin pressure gets too low 384 00:29:07,597 --> 00:29:11,548 but they only supply oxygen for about 12 minutes. 385 00:29:16,023 --> 00:29:18,330 Slowly starved of oxygen... 386 00:29:18,354 --> 00:29:21,703 ...the passengers and crew drifted off to sleep. 387 00:29:22,639 --> 00:29:24,719 Everyone on the plane was unconscious 388 00:29:24,743 --> 00:29:30,179 with the exception of one flight attendant who somehow had received the oxygen. 389 00:29:30,901 --> 00:29:33,957 By the time that the flight attendant reached the cockpit 390 00:29:33,981 --> 00:29:35,981 the plane was out of fuel. 391 00:29:36,005 --> 00:29:39,178 There was no way for him to save the plane. 392 00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,241 Put on your mask 393 00:29:50,757 --> 00:29:55,312 Did Malaysia Air Flight 370 suffer a pressurization failure, 394 00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:59,749 and fly for hours on AUTOPILOT, just like Helios 522? 395 00:30:00,916 --> 00:30:05,003 the airplane is on AUTOPILOT for most of the flight 396 00:30:05,027 --> 00:30:08,868 In case both pilots could not control the plane anymore 397 00:30:08,947 --> 00:30:12,939 the AUTOPILOT would do what it supposed to do. 398 00:30:12,964 --> 00:30:17,400 The Malaysian Flight was flying at 35,000 ft 399 00:30:17,424 --> 00:30:19,424 This is higher than the Mount Everest 400 00:30:19,448 --> 00:30:21,204 and without oxygen, 401 00:30:21,229 --> 00:30:26,403 you can expect 30 to 60 seconds of useful consciousness. 402 00:30:28,029 --> 00:30:32,608 An Australian Transport Safety Bureau report helps narrowing down the search area 403 00:30:32,633 --> 00:30:37,347 with the finding that Flight 370's straight and level path in the final hours 404 00:30:37,371 --> 00:30:41,149 is consistent with an on board hypoxia event. 405 00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:47,578 But there are some troubling details that suggests something was very wrong 406 00:30:49,324 --> 00:30:52,824 Well before hypoxia could ever have set in. 407 00:30:53,323 --> 00:30:57,234 Hypoxia and disorientation is not consistent 408 00:30:57,259 --> 00:31:01,632 with turns that are made that would never have been programmed into the computer, 409 00:31:01,657 --> 00:31:04,401 even in the wildest imagination 410 00:31:04,425 --> 00:31:08,385 Careful analysis of the evidence has revealed that Flight 370 411 00:31:08,409 --> 00:31:11,567 made 3 turns over the next 1.5 hr 412 00:31:11,591 --> 00:31:14,305 after the last radio call. 413 00:31:15,805 --> 00:31:17,805 First, a turn to the left 414 00:31:17,829 --> 00:31:20,547 then two more, taking the plane West 415 00:31:20,571 --> 00:31:23,340 then South towards Antarctica 416 00:31:23,395 --> 00:31:25,085 For Malcolm Brenner, 417 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:27,887 those turns strongly suggest someone in the cockpit 418 00:31:27,912 --> 00:31:30,489 deliberately flew the plane off course 419 00:31:31,853 --> 00:31:33,775 It is conceivable 420 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,591 that a pilot could deliberately depressurize the airplane 421 00:31:37,615 --> 00:31:43,122 It is part of an effort to hijack the airplane or take it for some purpose 422 00:31:43,146 --> 00:31:46,892 It would be possible from the cockpit to turn off the pressurization 423 00:31:46,916 --> 00:31:49,953 and produce a Helios type event 424 00:31:49,977 --> 00:31:51,977 The big question is now: 425 00:31:52,001 --> 00:31:55,157 Who made those mysterious turns... 426 00:31:55,181 --> 00:31:57,181 ...and why? 427 00:31:58,991 --> 00:32:03,347 370, contact Ho Chi Minh 120.9 428 00:32:03,376 --> 00:32:04,752 Goodnight 429 00:32:07,537 --> 00:32:12,106 Investigators are struggling to explain a series of mysterious turns 430 00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:15,931 made by Flight 370, after its last radio call 431 00:32:15,955 --> 00:32:19,248 That's weird, the transponder is just gone off 432 00:32:19,272 --> 00:32:21,272 Anything else affected? 433 00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:26,286 Hold on, the ACARS is out, too 434 00:32:26,311 --> 00:32:28,311 You always want to have an open mind, 435 00:32:28,335 --> 00:32:31,518 catastrophic failures can happen, you want to consider that 436 00:32:31,756 --> 00:32:35,082 If multiple flight systems failed at the same time, 437 00:32:35,106 --> 00:32:38,296 it is possible the problem might have confused the pilots. 438 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,723 The damn thing is still not working 439 00:32:40,748 --> 00:32:42,994 we'll try rebooting it 440 00:32:43,018 --> 00:32:45,018 Hang on, let me take a look. 441 00:32:50,698 --> 00:32:52,608 Is that our altitude 442 00:32:52,632 --> 00:32:54,632 Dammit 443 00:32:59,730 --> 00:33:03,063 But when considering all the facts of Flight 370, 444 00:33:03,087 --> 00:33:06,394 that scenario just doesn't stand up. 445 00:33:09,259 --> 00:33:12,426 The 777 is designed to have multiple back ups 446 00:33:12,450 --> 00:33:18,250 making it extremely unlikely that enough systems could fail to put the flight in jeopardy. 447 00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:19,948 The whole watch-work 448 00:33:19,973 --> 00:33:24,264 is to let these airplanes do much of the work of making sure everything is backed up 449 00:33:24,289 --> 00:33:25,864 including the back ups. 450 00:33:25,888 --> 00:33:28,677 Multiple failures are also hard to reconcile 451 00:33:28,702 --> 00:33:31,986 with the fact that the plane kept flying for 7 hours 452 00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:35,549 It just doesn't seem to fit the evidence we know of the flight. 453 00:33:35,573 --> 00:33:37,922 For investigators like Brenner 454 00:33:37,946 --> 00:33:42,605 the evidence makes it hard to ignore a rare and horrifying possibility... 455 00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:47,215 ...that Flight 370 was brought down by a deliberate human act 456 00:33:47,239 --> 00:33:51,389 Two different systems went out at the same time: 457 00:33:51,413 --> 00:33:54,627 the transponder and the ACARS 458 00:33:54,651 --> 00:33:58,563 The only purpose of these systems is to communicate with the ground 459 00:33:58,587 --> 00:34:04,063 and there is no obvious electrical connection by both would be going out... 460 00:34:04,087 --> 00:34:06,087 ...other than a human involvement 461 00:34:10,166 --> 00:34:14,189 Everything comes down to deliberate action by somebody for some reason 462 00:34:14,213 --> 00:34:17,562 If MH 370 was brought down on purpose 463 00:34:17,586 --> 00:34:20,570 it wouldn't be the first time for a commercial airliner 464 00:34:20,594 --> 00:34:25,591 There are 6 accidents over the last 40 years around the world 465 00:34:25,616 --> 00:34:28,737 that have aspects of a deliberate action. 466 00:34:29,863 --> 00:34:32,824 In several cases, they appeared to be impulsive 467 00:34:32,848 --> 00:34:38,505 but in 2 cases, it appears that the pilots (although they have psychiatric problems) 468 00:34:38,529 --> 00:34:40,729 they appeared to have careful planning 469 00:34:40,753 --> 00:34:46,245 and deliberately wanted to hide the fact that what they were doing would be a crime. 470 00:34:47,666 --> 00:34:49,650 That was the controversial finding, 471 00:34:49,675 --> 00:34:55,840 made by a team of US investigators after the tragic crash of Silk Air Flight 185. 472 00:34:57,109 --> 00:35:00,165 On December 19th, 1997 473 00:35:00,189 --> 00:35:04,125 the Boeing 737 was flying from Jakarta to Singapore. 474 00:35:04,982 --> 00:35:08,101 Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain 475 00:35:08,125 --> 00:35:10,125 My name is Tsu Way Ming 476 00:35:10,149 --> 00:35:15,045 On the flight deck this afternoon with me is First Officer Duncan Ward. 477 00:35:16,124 --> 00:35:21,758 Moments after the crew's last scheduled radio call to Indonesian controllers 478 00:35:21,782 --> 00:35:26,565 the plane banked sharply and went into a steep dive. 479 00:35:28,512 --> 00:35:31,280 There were no survivors. 480 00:35:31,304 --> 00:35:36,994 Searchers manage to recover the Silk Air's FDR and CVR, 481 00:35:39,708 --> 00:35:45,987 but both machines were switched off before the plane went into its fatal dive. 482 00:35:50,065 --> 00:35:54,000 Investigators discover that the pilot, Tsu Way Ming, 483 00:35:54,025 --> 00:35:58,669 had recently lost more than a million dollars in the stock market, 484 00:35:58,694 --> 00:36:03,138 and was scheduled to repay the debt when he got back to Singapore. 485 00:36:08,082 --> 00:36:10,717 Though Indonesian investigators disagree, 486 00:36:10,741 --> 00:36:16,034 US investigators believe the Silk Air captain most likely disabled the flight recorders 487 00:36:16,058 --> 00:36:18,526 and put the plane into a dive... 488 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:21,042 ...killing 97 passengers... 489 00:36:21,272 --> 00:36:23,272 ...and 7 crew. 490 00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,780 Malaysian 370, maintaining level 35,000 ft 491 00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:32,819 Some experts now believe Flight 370 ... 492 00:36:32,843 --> 00:36:35,009 ...was also deliberately brought down. 493 00:36:35,033 --> 00:36:37,922 So, in my mind, somebody did this 494 00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:39,255 and it was a pilot 495 00:36:39,279 --> 00:36:44,263 whether it was one of the two individuals up front who were charged for keeping that plane safe 496 00:36:44,287 --> 00:36:46,882 or whether it was somebody else, we do not know. 497 00:36:46,906 --> 00:36:48,906 Cruising at 35,000 ft... 498 00:36:53,620 --> 00:37:00,485 ...the Captain could have found an excuse to get the First officer out of the cockpit. 499 00:37:03,977 --> 00:37:05,977 The Captain of the flight has an authority, 500 00:37:06,001 --> 00:37:08,578 he is the pilot in command of the flight. 501 00:37:08,602 --> 00:37:14,046 He can direct the First Officer to go back to the cabin for various reasons 502 00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:16,070 where as the First Officer can not 503 00:37:16,094 --> 00:37:20,474 So, of the two of them, the Captain would be of greater attention. 504 00:37:28,262 --> 00:37:29,952 Alone in the cockpit, 505 00:37:29,977 --> 00:37:34,071 it would have been simple to switch off the transponder and change course 506 00:37:34,096 --> 00:37:37,536 towards an area with little radar coverage. 507 00:37:47,087 --> 00:37:49,087 Hey, open up in there 508 00:37:50,163 --> 00:37:54,142 A few minutes later, he might have tried to switch off the ACARS 509 00:37:54,166 --> 00:37:58,458 not realizing that a part of the signal would stay on. 510 00:38:00,672 --> 00:38:02,672 You cannot turn off the handshakes 511 00:38:04,076 --> 00:38:08,941 without getting into the electronics of the aircraft itself. 512 00:38:08,965 --> 00:38:12,647 People wouldn't know how to do 513 00:38:12,671 --> 00:38:13,797 Captain! 514 00:38:13,821 --> 00:38:17,892 A pilot can stop the door being opened from the outside 515 00:38:18,344 --> 00:38:21,321 and it is designed to be extremely secure when locked. 516 00:38:21,345 --> 00:38:25,313 The hardened door, no one else is getting in good, bad, or otherwise 517 00:38:25,337 --> 00:38:27,876 So, if a good guy is in there he is locked in 518 00:38:27,901 --> 00:38:31,401 If a bad guy is in there he is in there safe, too 519 00:38:33,123 --> 00:38:36,900 If the Captain of Flight 370 took control of the cockpit 520 00:38:36,924 --> 00:38:40,432 and hijacked his own plane... 521 00:38:41,415 --> 00:38:45,432 ...it is unlikely that anyone else on board could have raised an alarm. 522 00:38:45,456 --> 00:38:49,668 As far as communication from an emergency basis from the cabin crew to the ground 523 00:38:49,692 --> 00:38:54,765 you are almost always going to be unsuccessful with a cellphone. 524 00:38:57,527 --> 00:39:02,665 There is no method of just picking up the phone bypassing the cockpit and calling the ground 525 00:39:02,705 --> 00:39:06,199 You are pretty much alone for the ride. 526 00:39:09,659 --> 00:39:12,574 Cabin pressure can be adjusted manually... 527 00:39:12,598 --> 00:39:15,939 ...a safety feature in case it malfunctions. 528 00:39:15,963 --> 00:39:20,185 But that also makes it possible to incapacitate everyone else on board. 529 00:39:23,438 --> 00:39:29,605 This one consideration in terms of neutralizing the other crew-member/members 530 00:39:41,357 --> 00:39:45,429 Anyone who is not on oxygen would be vulnerable. 531 00:39:53,098 --> 00:39:59,689 Passengers who managed to put on their masks would have run out of oxygen in about 12 minutes. 532 00:40:00,332 --> 00:40:03,093 With passengers and crew dead, 533 00:40:03,117 --> 00:40:06,505 all that is left is to make the plane disappear. 534 00:40:06,907 --> 00:40:12,513 The flight over the next hour makes several more turns which appear to be human directed 535 00:40:12,538 --> 00:40:17,395 and finally ends up flying in a heading to Antarctica. 536 00:40:17,419 --> 00:40:24,093 So, the appearance is that this is a carefully thought out effort to evade detection. 537 00:40:28,037 --> 00:40:33,259 I feel very very strongly, given all the evidence that we think we have 538 00:40:33,283 --> 00:40:35,941 we always have to put that carefully on it 539 00:40:35,965 --> 00:40:39,666 that whoever did this intended for the airplane and the passengers 540 00:40:39,691 --> 00:40:41,917 to simply vanish from the planet. 541 00:40:41,941 --> 00:40:45,996 If MH370 was in fact brought down on purpose, 542 00:40:46,020 --> 00:40:48,615 one of the most difficult questions to answer... 543 00:40:48,639 --> 00:40:50,020 ...is WHY? 544 00:40:50,044 --> 00:40:52,646 Between the 2 pilots, the Captain and the FO, 545 00:40:52,671 --> 00:40:56,551 the First Officer was a exuberant brand-new young pilot 546 00:40:56,575 --> 00:41:06,075 who was getting ready to get married; there were absolutely no error-marks 547 00:41:06,284 --> 00:41:10,032 But you turn to the Captain and there are no marks there either 548 00:41:11,381 --> 00:41:16,833 Malcolm Brenner thinks an event from 1994 may provide some insight. 549 00:41:16,857 --> 00:41:20,110 For me, the clearest model is the FedEx example, 550 00:41:20,134 --> 00:41:23,777 and the only reason we know about that clearly is because it failed. 551 00:41:23,801 --> 00:41:27,816 A FedEx flight engineer at risk for being fired for lying 552 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,467 boarded a DC10 with concealed weapons 553 00:41:31,321 --> 00:41:34,056 He had a history of being quite brilliant 554 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,826 He was an engineer, he had a good Airforce record 555 00:41:36,850 --> 00:41:40,119 but he also had a history of psychiatric problems. 556 00:41:40,143 --> 00:41:41,639 Shortly after take off, 557 00:41:41,830 --> 00:41:46,317 he burst into the cockpit planning to kill the crew and crash the plane. 558 00:41:46,817 --> 00:41:48,817 He almost succeeded. 559 00:41:49,063 --> 00:41:51,011 After a bloody struggle, 560 00:41:51,036 --> 00:41:55,173 the crew managed to restrain their attacker and land the plane. 561 00:41:58,705 --> 00:42:02,512 Malaysia Airlines may be the latest of a small handful of airlines 562 00:42:02,537 --> 00:42:05,239 that have suffered the tragedy of a disturbed pilot, 563 00:42:05,264 --> 00:42:09,251 deliberately setting out to crash a commercial plane. 564 00:42:10,157 --> 00:42:13,989 You can have someone who can have psychiatric motivation 565 00:42:15,283 --> 00:42:23,379 but still be able to cold bloodedly plan in detail a way to commit this kind of effort. 566 00:42:23,403 --> 00:42:26,091 So, I am sorry to say it can happen. 567 00:42:26,115 --> 00:42:29,964 The difficult reality for investigators and airlines alike 568 00:42:29,988 --> 00:42:34,083 is that human failures can be nearly impossible to foresee. 569 00:42:35,487 --> 00:42:38,837 If we are dealing with human beings, we are dealing with imperfect creatures, 570 00:42:38,861 --> 00:42:39,900 that is us. 571 00:42:39,924 --> 00:42:44,542 And we should learn more about the error marks of somebody who might do this 572 00:42:44,566 --> 00:42:47,241 but it is going to be very difficult if not impossible to say: 573 00:42:47,266 --> 00:42:50,804 Yeah, we locked this down, now it can never happen again. 574 00:42:50,828 --> 00:42:57,089 It is possible no one will ever know for certain exactly what happened aboard Flight 370. 575 00:43:07,713 --> 00:43:11,236 But perhaps the most important lesson from this tragedy 576 00:43:11,260 --> 00:43:13,260 has already been learned. 577 00:43:13,489 --> 00:43:16,104 The one lesson that I think immediately comes out of this 578 00:43:16,129 --> 00:43:18,868 is that we got to know where all these airplanes are all the time 579 00:43:18,893 --> 00:43:20,893 and that is very simple to do and very inexpensive 580 00:43:20,917 --> 00:43:24,091 You simply hook a GPS up to one of those transmitters 581 00:43:24,115 --> 00:43:26,353 and in most cases they are already there 582 00:43:26,378 --> 00:43:30,003 and cause it to send its position every 5 or 10 minutes 583 00:43:30,027 --> 00:43:33,717 and make sure that nobody in the airplane can turn it off. 584 00:43:33,741 --> 00:43:38,447 Maybe one of the first things that will happen is that individual airlines will decide: 585 00:43:38,471 --> 00:43:39,739 'We are going to track', 586 00:43:39,764 --> 00:43:43,463 and make that a point of difference in the way they sell the tickets 587 00:43:43,487 --> 00:43:48,137 Maybe another thing that will happen is, that the FAA will simply mandate it. 588 00:43:48,161 --> 00:43:50,955 The whole world has an interest in what happened here 589 00:43:50,979 --> 00:43:52,803 in finding out what happened 590 00:43:52,827 --> 00:43:57,581 so that we can start to prevent it and see that it never happens again. 591 00:44:02,977 --> 00:44:04,977 Narrator: Jonathan
