BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR: The National Transportation Safety Board is taking the lead on investigating the plane that crashed off the coast of Jamaica last week after mysteriously flying for hours unresponsive prompting U.S. and Cuban military jets to trail it. The NTSB will step in only when and if this plane is recovered and will not play a role in the search and rescue. Meanwhile, weather has forced the U.S. Coast Guard and Jamaica Defense Force to suspend their searches for signs of the plane or the passengers on board. The aircraft here owned by a state developer, Larry Glazer and his wife crashed into the Caribbean. We watched this for two hours on Friday. This 14 miles off Port Antonio in Jamaica after the pilot told an air traffic controller something was wrong as it flew south over the Eastern U.S. And this one arguable the greatest of aviation mysteries in history, the disappearance of Malaysian Air Flight 370. You were with us this whole story began six months ago today as a puzzling news bulletin, this passenger jet, this 777 jet with 239 people on board vanished from radar screens as it was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Was it a terrorist attack? Was there some sort of mechanical failure that led to the crash? Did the plane go down over land or water? Were there any survivors? Many figured the answers would come after searchers found the aircraft or its wreckage. And here we are half a year later and it remains a mystery. Not a single piece -- not a single speck of debris of this plane has been discovered but the search continues. The president of the United States once compared militants in Iraq and Syria, like ISIS to a JV team. It is a comment that he has acknowledged is perhaps not the right thing. One that is haunting him as he prepares to lay out a battle against ISIS, lay out a strategy Wednesday. We don't actually know what time of day. At some point on Wednesday, he'll be doing that strategy speech. We'll break down the politics of that fight ahead.
