00:00Next, a British submarine joins the search tonight for missing Flight 370, but are investigators looking in the right place?
00:07A live update from the search team straight ahead, plus new security procedures at Malaysia Airlines.
00:12Why the airline may not want to pilot alone in the cockpit?
00:15And GM executives grilled over a defective ignition switch that is linked to at least 13 deaths.
00:20Why the company failed to fix what would have been a 57-cent problem.
00:26Let's go out front.
00:37And good evening, everyone. I'm Erin Burnett.
00:39Out front tonight, new details in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
00:43The search intensifying tonight.
00:45The people who are searching.
00:46I want to bring in our own Richard Quest.
00:48And, you know, when Kyung talked there to the Prime Minister, they're being very blunt, uncertain starting point.
00:55They might have to reassess things.
00:58Let's go back to absolute brass tacks and basics.
01:03You have the radar data from the military and you have the satellite handshake.
01:10That is determining fuel burn, something like altitude or speed.
01:15You know, if they have, they've not revealed it.
01:19We could ask, why have they not revealed nuclear sub?
01:22Because it's going to be actually searching underneath the water, which is something that has not happened yet.
01:26Right. They've been really looking at the surface saying, you know, that's the tip of the tip of the iceberg,
01:30as the case may be.
01:31But this is a new strategy.
01:33It's a new strategy.
01:34We want to be able to move us up.
01:35Very, very quickly.
01:36All right.
01:37Richard Quest is going to be with us out front next.
01:39How the investigation, some say it was bungled, caused investigators to look in the wrong place for three days.
01:44Three days that, when we look back, could be so crucial.
01:47And Malaysia Airlines is making security changes on its planes.
01:51There's a specific one that has us asking this question.
01:54Why are they worried about leaving a pilot alone in the cockpit?
01:56Plus, why a 2009?
01:59More on our developing story tonight, which is the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
02:03Tonight, the Malaysian government released the full transcript of what was said between the pilots and air traffic control on
02:09the night the 777 vanished.
02:11It includes exchanges, but this picture.
02:14If they are accused and guilty of anything, it is.
02:18But this question of bungling the investigation, I think it's just simply wrong.
02:24I think it is simply since the start of the investigation.
02:28And I promise you this, Erin, the number of consistencies are the fog of war.
02:33They do not relate to...
02:35But people also talk about how it took days to figure things out, Richard.
02:37For example, the turn.
02:39Why does it take you days to figure out...
02:41Well, I'm not going to go into the...
02:42But there wasn't one bit of evidence until they got the radar data.
02:47Miles will no doubt question and say that radar data...
02:50That really, at this point, has very little to do with where the body of the plane may be beneath
02:54the surface.
02:54But, Richard, I know you had a question for Bill.
02:56Bill, very briefly, are you still surprised...
02:58...this development, why a crash in 2009 could be the key to finding the plane?
03:01...the disappearance of Flight 370 as a criminal act.
03:05It's a very specific term.
03:06And today they said that word, and then they used another word.
03:09There could be some real insight there.
03:11We have that coming up.
03:11We'll be back.
03:29We'll be back.
03:42They are also saying someone with excellent flying skills was in control, was a part of this.
03:50Here's my question to you, given what you know, given all the reporting out there that you've been doing, that
03:54we've seen.
03:56Would we, at this point, be aware if there was anyone who was a passenger on this plane?
04:01We know that there was a flight engineer.
04:03That's right.
04:04We know by someone on the plane.
04:07Now, by throwing that in, they throw it in gratuitously.
04:11They didn't have to, I think rightly so, they are now telegraphed.
04:15We're going to be reporting on that, as these families are so desperate to know.
04:18Someone I was talking with, a family member, was saying, you know, how she imagined was her, you know, was
04:25her partner on the ocean floor strapped into a seat.
04:27I mean, they are desperate to know and have every right to know of any way it's humanly possible, whether
04:31their loved ones were alive for these seven hours or not.
04:36Still to come, the president's victory lap, why he says Obamacare is here to stay.
04:40And an emotional day on Capitol Hill, General Motors executives confronted by the families of 13 people who lost their
04:46lives in GM cars.
04:48The question is, did GM intentionally ignore the truth?
04:56April Fool's, the day when everybody seems to try to pull one over on you.
05:00So how best to distinguish between truth and trick?
05:03Jeannie Moe's.
05:05I just have to say, if Mark Haynes were alive, Cheeto would not be an April Fool's joke.
05:10Thanks so much for watching.
