the live rafts might be useful that s because elts don t work under water. once these things become submerged the radio signal is no longer able to reach the satellite. so the transmitter have been tampered with? experts say the two that are attached to the fuel ill oj probably would have been unaccessible but two onboard could have been tampered. the very disaster that we continue to follow is the ferry sinking from south korea. there has been some fall out from the disaster. the prime minister has recently announced his resignation. this happened a couple of hours ago. in stepping down, chung apologized to victim s families for not preventing the sichking from happening and for the slow
of captain sullenberger, the plane set down gently enough there wasn t sufficient g-force to activate the elts. reporter: other reasons they wouldn t have worked, a crash could have broken the elts antennas. also there s a time lag after an impact. even after it hits the water, it has to stay afloat for more than 50 seconds or they won t sound either. reporter: so, even two elts placed near the plane s life rafts and triggered by contact with saltwater might be useless that s because elts don t work under water. once they re submerged the radio signal is no longer able to reach the satellite. reporter: could the emergency low indicator transmitters aboard flight 370 been attempted with? experts say the two attached to the fuselage probably wouldn t have been accessible to anybody on board. two near life rafts which are portable could have been tampered with. brian todd, cnn, washington. we ll cross back to kuala

they re getting a sense for where bodies are located inside the vessel. what are they figuring out based on that, about how this ship possibly went under water? what are the positioning of the bodies telling investigators? reporter: we had heard all along people on board were told where to stay for a long time. what appears to have happened is many of the students at least seemed to have gathered together. this group of 48, mostly girls, were all gathered in a room only large enough for about 30 people which gives you an indication they were clustering together, afraid, not sure what to do. divers believe there is another room that may hold another 50 young students in it. so, it does appear that in this period of uncertainty, some of them were clustering together. and not apparently able to follow direction, if any was given or not given direction,
