Actually come adrift. stand by. i need new ask you this you said something about -- the number of planes that there are planes in the java sea. we should be careful because? >> i got a text from david gallo involved in air france retrieval. expert at oceans and what is in the oceans. in this area he said there is quite a bit of debris sunken ships. aircraft in the ocean in the area as well. he was hesitant. he said be careful assuming that is the aircraft. before we get definitive information. c...

Big piece like that survive. >> mary remember when when we talked about this. for mh-370. people were asking -- is there a chance? that it is fully intact on the bottom of the ocean? how might that happen? even itch itf it is a large chunk of the plane. it seems not entirely possible. that that could happen. thats what at lest for 370. at least for 370. seemed to be the expert opinion. it wouldnt beep possible possible for this to happen. >> for 370. i think everyone was assuming. there wasnt an...

Debris said that he was extremely sad. he was relieved that it had been found but very sad that there was no sign of survivors. >> paula hancocks reports thanks so much. >> the area of the sea where this debris has been found is only 80 to 100 feet deep in some places a shallow area but that along with the weather conditions as you heard paula mention may not help in the recovery effort. chad myers is here to tell us what the weather conditions are now. hi chad. >> hi carol. when you get out in ...

Talk about the search and rescue efforts that local media have reported are already under way at daybreak in the java sea, what kind of terrain are we talking about here when you look at how deep it is the ocean floor, how heavily trafficked it is? what are we looking at? >> deep ocean, relatively smooth and flat and probably covered with sediment which makes searching a little bit easier. the depth is 150 feet on average as opposed to miles deep for malaysian airline 370. thats got its own chal...

Flight 370 when the transponder was turned off or the plane disappeared from radar, maybe this plane wouldnt be missing. is that fair? >> i think it probably is. there are ways you can minimize the costs on this realtime streaming. this is the second time in five years or three years that weve lost an aircraft in deep ocean and havent been able to find it. and, for instance, you only need realtime streaming on aircraft that are going over open ocean, what they call etops flights. planes flying o...

Associated with the flight at all. at the same token, its in an interesting spot. so it need to be investigated very carefully. one of the things to think about is that there are great coastal oceanographers in the western part of australia out of university of western australia. they study the currents, how the weather influences how material will move. im sure theyre involved in this, looking at whether its possible that something that came down 1,000 kilometers away over 45 days ago would mak...

Do you believe? >> well, more undert water searching. the problem is that its a big ocean. its deep ocean. and the bluefin is right at the edge of its capability. its done a fair amount of searching. theres still more to do. and its not exactly specifically clear where those pingers might be. theyve heard them. they think here in the right area. theres still a lot more to go. i think the level of patience that we all need and the families especially is its a big challenge at this point. put it t...

Doing. we dare move because we dont know what we are going to encounter. this is a real problem of working in the deep ocean, particularly if its a soft bottom and this sort of situation. >> just another hazard you have to deal with at great depth. i will point that out to you and great demonstration. thanks very much. victor and christi, back to you. >> martin savidge, thank you martin. well be right back. let me get this straight... [ female voice ] yes?

Will-be aquanauts, down to a lab known as aquariaquarius, and ou commute is out in the ocean column for eight to ten, twelve hours, and well be testing like the astronauts do in outer space what it does to our bodies, our psychology, and, of course, what it is we can discover out there. >> its like the real-world deep ocean. >> thats a great point. one of the beauties of this particular platform is for the first time were able to connect with the world in realtime through these little devices, a...

Tons per square inch of pressure at those depths, its extraordinarily difficult to get to. >> so we know that although they have not found any evidence of flight 370 using this bluefin-21, they have taken photographs -- well, not photographs -- they have images, rather, of this portion of the ocean. talk about that value. >> well, its of huge value for future exploration, because we start seeing a topographical map thats much more accurate than what weve been able to work with in the past, at le...
