>>> WELCOME BACK TO "THE LEAD"
AND MORE NOW ON OUR WORLD LEAD.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY CONCRETE
PROOF FLIGHT 370 EVEN CRASHED
INTO THE INDIAN OCEAN BUT
INVESTIGATORS SAY IF IT DID
CRASH, WE CANNOT RULE OUT THE
POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS A
DELIBERATE ACT.
THEY ARE NOT ONLY INTERVIEWING
THE PILOT AND CO-PILOT'S FAMILY
MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, BUT CLOSELY
SCRUTINIZING THEIR ACTIONS IN
THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE
FLIGHT.
PAMELA BROWN IS JOINING US WITH
MORE.
ARE THEY FINDING ANYTHING
WORRISOME AS THEY DO THIS?
>> SO FAR, NO.
BUT WE'RE STILL EARLY ON IN THE
INVESTIGATIONS.
SOURCES THAT I'VE BEEN SPEAKING
WITH SAY THAT INVESTIGATORS
HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING THAT
WOULD SUPPORT OR RULE OUT THE
IDEA THAT EITHER PILOT PLANNED
TO TAKE DOWN THAT PLANE.
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE
BREAKING THEIR SILENCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
WITH FEW CLUES TO WORK OFF OF,
SOURCES SAY EXAMINING THE TWO
MEN IN THE COCKPIT IS STILL A
TOP PRIORITY.
BUT THOSE WHO KNEW THEM BEST ARE
SPEAKING OUT IN THEIR DEFENSE.
IN AN INTERVIEW WITH JIM CHANGES
SEE, THE FORMER CEO OF MALAYSIA
AIRLINES SAID THAT HE KNEW
ZAHARIE SHAH WELL.
>> HE'S AN EXCELLENT PILOT.
I THINK THEY ARE GOING THE WRONG
WAY, POINTING A FINGER AT HIM.
>> AND THE CURRENT CEO OF
MALAYSIA AIRLINES SUPPORTED
FARIQ AB HAMID.
AND AHMAD SETH DEFENDED HIS
FATHER ON TUESDAY NIGHT SAYING
HE UNDERSTANDS HIS FATHER BETTER
THAN THOSE CRITICIZING HIM.
I'VE READ EVERYTHING ONLINE BUT
I'VE AVOIDED THE SPECULATION.
I KNOW MY FATHER BETTER.
INVESTIGATORS HAVEN'T YET FOUND
ANY EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST A
PREMEDITATED ACT BY EITHER
PILOT.
THE U.S. OFFICIAL TELLS CNN THAT
A PRELIMINARY MARY REVIEW OF THE
CAPTAIN SIMULATOR AND BOTH
COMPUTERS HAVE NOT YIELDED A
SMOKING GUN SO FAR.
THE CAPTAIN DID NOT LEAVE A
SUICIDE NOTE, A SOURCE OF
MALAYSIA AIRLINES TELLS CNN.
AND CAPTAIN SHAH SEEN HERE GOING
THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY WAS A
RESPECTED PILOT WHO HAD BEEN
WITH MALAYSIA AIRLINES SINCE
1981, FLYING MORE THAN 18,000
HOURS.
THE 53-YEAR-OLD WAS MARRIED WITH
THREE GROWN CHILDREN.
CAPTAIN SHAH'S DAUGHTER WAS A
STUDENT STUDYING IN MELBOURNE,
AUSTRALIA.
THE FAMILY HOME WAS HERE IN A
GATED COMMUNITY.
BUT HIS WIFE ROUTINELY STAYED
SOMEWHERE ELSE WHEN HE WAS
FLYING.
SHAH WAS A SPUBLIC SUPPORTER OF
PRO DEMOCRACY RALLIES AND IN HIS
FREE TIME HE POSTED VIDEOS LIKE
THIS ONE ONLINE.
SHOWING HIM IN FRONT OF HIS HOME
FLIGHT SIMULATOR, TALKING NOT
ABOUT HIS JOB BUT ABOUT HIS
INTERESTS IN HOME IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS.
LESS IS KNOWN ABOUT SHAH'S
CO-PILOT, FARIQ HAMID.
HE WAS ENGAGED TO HIS HIGH
SCHOOL SWEETHEART.
HE WAS ON HIS FIRST FLIGHT IN
THE COCKPIT UNSUPERVISED ON THE
JUMBO JET.
AND THE FBI IS EXPECTED TO HAND
OVER ANALYSIS OF THE HARD DRIVE
SOON, EVIDENCE THAT IS PULLED
FROM IT COULD PROVIDE CLUES OR
LEADS FOR OFFICIALS TO FOLLOW UP
ON AND THAT COULD END UP BEING
IMPORTANT IN THIS INVESTIGATION.
BUT AS OF NOW, WE ARE
REITERATING, NO SMOKING GUN HAS
BEEN FOUND.
THESE PILOTS ARE VICTIMS UNTIL
PROVEN OTHERWISE.
JIM?
>> DO WE HAVE UNREALISTIC
EXPECTATIONS ABOUT HOW QUICKLY
THEY WOULD COME TO SOME WORKING
THEORY HERE?
THIS COULD BE A LONG PLOTTING
AND SLOW INVESTIGATION, RIGHT?
>> RIGHT.
FROM AN INVESTIGATIVE
STANDPOINT, THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE
SPOKEN TO SAY THIS IS STILL VERY
EARLY ON.
THREE WEEKS IN WE'RE ALL LOOKING
FOR ANSWERS BUT IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT, THE FIRST WEEK THEY
ARE TRYING TO WRAP THEIR HEADS
AROUND WHAT HAPPENED, THERE WAS
