Did Something Go Wrong in Search for Flight 370?
MICHAELA PEREIRA, CNN ANCHOR: Half past the hour. Welcome back to NEW DAY. Let's take a look at your headlines now. The head of the al Qaeda affiliate Boko Haram is threatening to sell more than 200 abducted Nigerian schoolgirls, claiming that Allah says he should. He calls the children slaves in a newly released video and says western education should end. The White House is calling the abductions an outrage and has offered the Nigerian authorities help in searching for the girls. Seemingly no let up for the fire crews in Oklahoma. They're fighting a series of flare-ups in the deadly fast-moving wildfire in Oklahoma. Unseasonably high temperatures and low humidity are expected to keep fueling the inferno into tomorrow. One firefighter suffered minor injuries Monday when a box of shotgun shells exploded in the fire. About 100 other firefighters reportedly treated for heat or smoke inhalation. So far 3,500 acres have been scorched. The Supreme Court says it's OK to open local town and city council meetings with explicitly Christian prayers. The 5-4 ruling split along ideological lines with the court finding the prayer's constitutional as long as they don't denigrate non-Christians or force others to join in. Critics say the decision relegates minority faiths to second class status. Those are your headlines at this hour. Kate?</s>KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right, Michaela, thank you. Is it back to square one in the search for Flight 370? Government officials there are set to meet with aviation analysts and other experts tomorrow to assess the data that has determined their search so far. Did they get something wrong or is this just the next phase of the search? Let's discuss. David Soucie, CNN aviation analyst and a former FAA inspector is here. So David, tomorrow is a very big day in terms of the next phase of the search. You have Malaysian, Australian, Chinese officials coming together with experts to take a look at the data. I don't know if we call it taking a step back to reassess or if this is a step going forward. But I want to get your take on really what you think is going to come out of it? So what I've heard is that one group is going to be looking at the data that they have had so far and the information they have gathered from the search area so far. Then the next group is going to be looking at resources. What's going to come of it?</s>DAVID SOUCIE, CNN AVIATION ANALYST: Well, it's a stage we call sometimes validate, sometimes verify, validate and verify. What it is you have done, what it is that needs to be done, and what it is that is most likely to be done. But as you validate your information, what you want to look for is anything else that's happened before and any new information that you have, and they have both. They are looking back at what the pings did. Are the pings really pings? There's a lot of question about that because the frequency doesn't match what it is. So is it possible the pinger got damaged or maybe there's something else out there? So those are the kinds of things that they'll be looking at.</s>BOLDUAN: Is there a scenario, David, that we can be looking at? They have this meeting. Who knows, maybe it could last a couple days -- who knows how much information they're going to be working through -- that we could see -- I mean, ping two is where they had been focused where they did not find anything in that narrow search. They are expanding the search now. Could we find that these are dramatically going to move elsewhere?</s>SOUCIE: I don't think the pings will move elsewhere. I think what we're looking at here is the fact that this was the most likely. But if -- we also have to consider that the Bluefin was the only tool they had for this area. Up here, it's too deep for that Bluefin.</s>BOLDUAN: Right.</s>SOUCIE: So as they come back, they're going to evaluate is it worth going back out and looking at that ping or are these pings invalid? So those are the kinds of pieces of information. But here, I don't think we'll see that. I think what we'll see more of an oblong shape like this, and they'll start working their way up this way with the new tools, depending on which tools they opt to use at that point.</s>BOLDUAN: I want to talk about kind of a mish-mash of both of the things we're talking about here. We're also looking at this is -- so the pings came from the Bluefin. That was direct pings coming from the ocean detected by the Bluefin.</s>SOUCIE: Right.</s>BOLDUAN: You also have -- this is the Inmarsat data. So this is the data that we have not yet -- that has not been released to the public. This is the data they have had from the beginning, these complex complications that have led them on this -- on this flight path where they think they projected this highest probability area. Do you think this could change?</s>SOUCIE: Absolutely. This could very much change because of the fact that these are all assumptions.</s>BOLDUAN: Exactly.</s>SOUCIE: They are saying how fast did it go. And in fact, what was released in this report would say that you see how these change right here, right here. These points are points in time in which they say --</s>BOLDUAN: The speeds and altitudes that they weren't --</s>SOUCIE: And these speeds and altitudes are not an assumption that stays the same all the way down. There are some varying speeds in here too, which we hadn't seen before, so we didn't know that.</s>BOLDUAN: And David, we also say -- the more transparency throughout the process is better. The Inmarsat data has not been released. Do you think anything would change -- do you think it would be -- it would create any kind of a problem if they did release this data?</s>SOUCIE: You know, I have been thinking about this a lot because people have been asking me this question quite a bit. I thought before, no, because it just makes things hectic; it makes things -- there's too many things going on. But I reassessed last night. I thought, you know, what's wrong with doing that? There's some groups that I have been communicating with. They're very, very sharp.</s>BOLDUAN: Lots of people say crowd sourcing could be the solution.</s>SOUCIE: Absolutely. Well, and -- and the specific crowd that I have been talking about, there's some really smart crowds out there.</s>BOLDUAN: We're not talking about me being part of that crowd.</s>SOUCIE: Me either, really, you know. This -- this is some high math people. And so, I think that would be helpful actually. Let's get the information out there, and let's really look this.</s>BOLDUAN: Real quick, we're talking about in this area could be deep as 4.4 miles. This is deeper than anything we've been talking about, deeper than the Bluefin can go.</s>SOUCIE: Yes.</s>BOLDUAN: What else are we gonna see brought in in the next couple of months?</s>SOUCIE: Well, most likely the Remus because it can get down 6,000 meters -- 6,000 -- yes.</s>BOLDUAN: Yeah.</s>SOUCIE: I keep thinking kilometers. All right. So now there is some areas that are deeper than that even. So they are going to have to bring in a deep-water sonar scanner. And so, that's something they will probably need as well if they get any further north towards that top ping.</s>BOLDUAN: The problem is we're also dealing with a time problem. It will take a couple months, they said, to get all of these assets in place.</s>SOUCIE: And the teams.</s>BOLDUAN: And the teams. The Bluefin will be searching, but some would say that is a loss of time in getting all these assets in place.</s>SOUCIE: Yeah.</s>BOLDUAN: David, thanks as always.</s>SOUCIE: Thanks, Kate.</s>BOLDUAN: Thanks very much. Chris?</s>CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: All right, Kate. Let's take a break on NEW DAY. When we come back, Ukraine strikes back. Dozens of pro-Russia protesters killed. So much for this staying at the level of shouting in the streets. How much worse will it get? And is there a plan to help stop it? We're going to take you there. And everyone agrees Donald Sterling's comments were awful, or at least I hope everyone agrees, because not everyone thinks he should be forced to sell. We asked you what you think, and you're going to be surprised by the results and the reasoning, coming up.
