that the captain was certainly aware of the forecast. they felt secure and confident about their loved ones on board this ship. but we did hear also from a mother who got an e-mail from her daughter who was part of the crew. saying the weather had gotten bad. now they have spotted life jackets, the oil sheen, the container. >> we saw the video of them pulling up that life ring they also found in the water. when you talked about the conditions at the time when the ship went miss, unfortunately, the conditions still aren't good. i mean, we're hearing search teams have had to weather 150-mile-an-hour wind gusts, 30-foot waves. >> right. when you talk about the kind of conditions that would be a problem for a container ship making this route, you know it's also a problem for rescue teams. and the break really did come from some of the planes, the search planes that were flying over the water. they've covered 70,000 miles. that's how big the initial search area was.
