checks. if any of those things go off, you want to get the vehicle back. it could be going way down to the floor of the ocean and you don t want it to drift on its own. they do stay in communication with it. the boat sending it down will communicate with it and try to get it back if there is a problem. yes, that s part of the vehicle s own logic. so the vehicle does some of it on its own. part of the issue too is just the depth. since they don t know really what they re dealing with, that s part of the problem of getting that data back. stephanie elam, james, thank you, we appreciate both of you. a new video released by a terror group. this is the latest gathering of al qaeda in years, the largest of al qaeda in years. it has u.s. officials worried. we re going to show you why just ahead. vo: once upon a time there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where castles were houses
around thichl around. this is the south indian ocean. it is inhospitable. we have said this enough. it is remote. we have a large team deployed there. we do have the resources on site at the moment which is more positive. we are moving ahead. time is running out. again, getting to these objects and being able to identify them, you have more eyes out there that are going to be able to follow them back and working with the experts. it is surprising to me actually that they took this picture on sunday. they didn t get the data back, we think, until today, to try to send this search plane to the pinpoint area. it is within the area that they are searching. they had 12 planes out today. five surface ships out today. michael, it does seem a little surprising to me that they haven t been able to pick up more signs. the satellite seeing 122 pieces of debris. how come the planes haven t seen it yet. a number of reasons. i think the analogy of looking
playing around for the fun of it for recreational purposes. they do want to see what exactly and where he did practice going on that simulator. it may or may not help. i want to bring in joseph caruso. he is the founder of global digital forensics. welcome, sir. how difficult is it to retrieve such information? well, it just depends on the state of the system. tom makes a good point. if the data is overwritten, it could be very difficult to recover, if impossible. there is a lot of software and tools and techniques where you can bring data back, even if a file is partially overwritten. investigators may be able to bring back a lot of that data. tom, i want to ask you about this. everything seems to be pointing in the direction of a criminal investigation. for example, earlier today, we heard that the on board

landings in history. but for now, all eyes on this. the very first video of the curiosity landing, released today. the grainy video was shot onboard moments before touching down. john zarrella and chad myers join me now for more. so, john, let s start with you. you have been following the story very closely and are live at nasa s jetropulsion laboratory in california. tell us about this new veo and what exactly are we seeing? reporter: well, in fact, zoraida, what we re seeing in this video are images taking from the descent camera, made by space industries down in san diego. and the video shows the curiosity rover as it is descending down through the atmosphere to the touchdown on mars. it was 297 images all put together into one continuous short video. and then there was the haz cam image. they finally did get a higher resolution picture which shows mt. sharp in the distance. and that mt. sharp is, of course, critical what they are hoping to do is get over to mt. sharp ev
