Ping. so this is exactly what they do. its a very unique signature. for it to turn out to be something else would be highly unlikely. >> that is fascinating. thank you for explaining that to us. just ahead, its one thing to fly around air space but it is another to completely avoid radar detection. a malaysian source tells cnn that this jet may have done just that. but something doesnt add up here. we will go to the flight simulator to tell you how the flight could have avoided detection. this i...

Consistent with those emitted from aircraft like boxes. two separate signal detections have occurred in the northern part of the search area. the first detection was held for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. the ship then lost contact before conducting a turn and attempting to reacquire the signal. the second detection on the return leg was held at approximately 13 minutes. on this occasion, two distinct pinger returns were audible. significantly this would be consistent for transmissions f...

Without saying it is. >> right. >> clearly, this is the most promising lead and probably in the search so far. its probably the best information we have had, you know, that is its in the right zone. it refines down to where the satellite work that has been done by the international group is. this is as close as were going to get until they get assets into the water. >> stand by. lets get some more information here. joining me now on the phone is commander william jay marks, u.s. 7th fleet affair...

He will just tell you in a press briefing, i dont have anything new. and when i do, i will come out and tell you. >>. no i think he has something to tell us. but he could either tell us that they have detected a signal and that it sounds promising, or that they have detected a signal and they have discounted it. but at least he is giving us an update. everybody knows they have detected a signal and everybody is wondering what theyre doing about it. i dont see anything unusual about this press co...

Its the sound search teams have desperately been trying to find and now they just may have. the pinger locator towed behind the "ocean shield" detected distinct sounds that may be from the black boxes. >> the first detection was held for approximately 2:20. the ship then lost contact. the second detection on the return leg was held for approximately 13 minutes. >> reporter: the detections about a mile apart in water more than 14,000 feet deep. on one occasion, two separate pings were heard, whic...

Approximately two hours and 20 minutes the ship then lost contact before conducting a turn and attempting to reacquire the signal the second detection on the return legaled held approximately 13 minutes. on this occasion two pinger returns were audible. significantly, this would be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. clearly, this is a most-promising lead. probably in the search so far, its the, probably the best information that we ha...

>> my understanding is they were around 2,000 yards apart. of note, the first detection was made whilst the towed pinger locator had been retracted. so it was much shallower. the reason they do that is at the end of each turn, as the ship turns around, ocean shield reverses course. if they dont retract the towed pinger, the effective movement through the water slows down, the pinger will sink, because the ship movement is reduced. so its brought up close to the service. that also helped speed up...

Break, especially when youve got this new information coming forward, christine. >> ill say. all right, pauline chiou. thank you so much for that, pauline. >> were covering the breaking news on missing malaysia airlines flight 370 all morning, including this new detection of possible pings by u.s. equipment. but first, the trial resumes for the olympic hero accused of murder. the defense is calling its first witness. will oscar pistorius take the stand? when might this happen? will he explain ...

Hello, everyone, great to see you today. >> it is a monday, it is 11:00 a.m. in the east, 8:00 a.m. in the west. those stories and much more right now at this hour. a potential break through in the search for flight 370. authorities have what theyre calling their most promising lead yet. this comes 21 days after their plane vanished. >> two separate signals in connection with cockpit and voice recorders have been detective e detected by a u.s. navy pinger detector. the first detection lasted mor...

Location which would seem to suggest, as you yourself have pointed out, i believe, that maybe these were coming one from the flight data recorder, one from the cockpit voice recorder, the two so-called black boxes. is that right? >> yeah, exactly. so that was just one of a number of encouraging signs from -- and this would have been the 5th by now. so the first encouraging sign was the length of the detection that we had and then when we turned around we did hear -- it was essentially the same f...
