MARY SCHIAVO, FORMER INSPECTOR GENERAL, U.S. TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT: I'm surprised they haven't found it yet, because it was so abrupt. There was no mayday call. There were no messages back from the plane. There was no hijack squawk on the transponder.</s>KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Mary Schiavo is the former inspector general of the Department of Transportation. She and other experts agree, something catastrophic happened. Authorities in Asia and the U.S. say there's no evidence yet to say the Malaysia Airlines flight is connected to terrorism. The Boeing jet is known as the toughest twin-aisled intercontinental aircraft ever made, but Flight 370 did have one past problem. This is the right wing of the plane. August 9th, 2012, it collides on the tarmac with the tail of a China Eastern plane in Shanghai. Again, a possible clue in this mystery. The answer is with what's left of Flight 370, wherever it's found, a hard truth for the families waiting, like the brothers of passenger Philip Wood.</s>TOM WOOD, BROTHER OF MISSING PASSENGER: You know, we know as much as everyone else. It just seems to -- it seems to be getting more bizarre, you know, the twists in the story, where they can't find anything, so we're just relying on faith.</s>LAH: Kyung Lah CNN, Los Angeles.</s>ASHLEIGH BANFIELD, CNN ANCHOR: So what happens next while searching for this plane? What happens if they never find anything? Is that possible? I'm going to talk with a former U.S. Transportation Department inspector, next.
