Guiding this telling the tools where to go and what to do is one thing. but to just say lets replace the tool and do the same thing is not the right thing to do. theyve got to stop and strat jazz. i hope thats what they do over the next couple of weeks while they wait for the new tools to do come in. bring in new eyes to say, are we going this the right way, because its an entire system of certainly. its not just about this tool or that tool. its about how the system works together. they may nee...

Conversation with someone who helped conceive the idea of the reemus 6,000. there are certain advantages it has over the blue ffin-21bluefi. is it time to move on to a different kind of technology like that in your view? >> well, not only is it time to change tools, but its time to change the strategy because you cant just change a tool without having a new crew, a new group that understands how to use those tools? different ways. >> like what? give an example. >> well, for example, is there com...

>> violent storms are threatening the countrys midsection and much of the south. im wolf blitzer. youre in "the situation room." there are no details on the hunt for flight 370 50 days after it disappeared. the u.s. navys underwater drone is scanning the last 5% of it is targeted area. it it cant find a trace of the airliner, authorities plan to expand the search zone and may bring in different technology. and angry flight 370 families making a rare show of civil disobedience in tightly cont...

Technology that was successful in finding air france h447, the remus. >> well, its always best to get the best equipment on the scene as quickly as you can. but i would defer to the people who were on site. they know what is going on there. certainly the systems that we have in there, their proven capabilities during the flight 447 search would substantiate that they would be a great asset in this location. >> explain why the remus is so successful in the air france disaster. >> well, many of th...

Transmitters on board the missing many. they are supposed to send locators out on impact. not one burst was sent from flight 370. could the possible reasons why these didnt work lead us closer to finding out what happened? its one of the most baffling questions in an already con founding mystery. why didnt any emergency beacons send a distressed signal? they are called elts. and a senior aviation source tells cnn there were four of them on the plane. >> emergency locator transmitter is a small r...

Probably a more appropriate tool. >> christopher, if the search area thats now being thoroughly examined, 80% of it apparently has been examined by the bluefin-21, comes up with nothing, what would you recommend? >> i would recommend that, well, first of all, go back and do a systemic study of all of the information thats available. and like they did in flight 447. then pick key areas where once youve refined results to allow you to focus on where you should search. i think thats the real area t...

Brought into the mission? >> well, i wouldnt be the one to make that call, sir. i think its a decision that has to be made by the people who are running the search. theres really two parts to the problem. one is deciding where to search, the other one is how to search the area that theyve decided to search. thats where our expertise comes from. find the area to search, then we take over. >> tell us about the remus 6,000, presumably if it were brought in, what could it do, for example, that the b...

Forensic pathologist across the country in recent days, and all of them believe that they will be at some point involved in the identification and the processing of those remains. the other piece of this is something the u.s. navy is also talking about, which is, if bluefin-21 does not come up with anything this week, in this most promised area, where the strongest ping was heard back on april 8th, then they will have to go to a wider plan. they will probably reset the search. they will look eit...
