/* -- remotely operated camera. >> and then on that, did the black box still have the recording of what occurred in the moment when the plane started going down? had it -- i think from the time the plane started going down to the time it hit the water it was relatively quick, right? >> four minutes. so the surprising thing there was that it had been two years that those boxes were at about 4,000 meters depth. so 2 1/2 miles depth. we had no idea whether the information would still be there. but ...

>> let us know what you think on twitter. coming up, how do you find a plane in the ocean? well show you how waterproof microphones are listening for any pings from those black boxes. and other breaking news. the death toll climbing in the washington state landslide. ameriprise asked people a simple question: in retirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that cant happen. thats the thing, you dont know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the ...

Thing turns. >> if both engines go out, and it depends how quickly they go out in terms of a turn or remaining straight, but how long can the plane just basically glide for? >> david can correct me on this, but its going to reach its own natural stability. in this airplane, its electronic stability. its an airplane, its going to fly even if it doesnt have power. thats what it is meant to do. >> if one engine goes out, it naturally finds its own center. say the right engine goes out, that wing wi...

Partial hand shake theyre calling it. >> weve had six pings where they know the plane tried to connect to the satellite, and we know they were confirmed. and then there was the seventh, the partial ping. they couldnt say, and they were quite open about it, they couldnt say why, and they couldnt say the significance of it. today, they said that they dont believe this partial ping was done by human intervention. in other words, this last ping only eight minutes after the previous one -- >> 8:11 a....

Hopefully it will give investigators some clues as to what happened. the voice data recorder could be key to solving the mystery. even if those black boxes are found they may not answer all the questions. randi kaye looks at some past examples. >> reporter: this is the sound of a pilot in trouble. that was the pilot of swissair flight 111 talking to air traffic control just minutes before he crashed into the atlantic ocean in 1998. everyone on board was killed. when crash investigators found the...

That doesnt hold true necessarily as more evidence comes in. for example, they have some idea that if this plane were flying slower or faster, it could shift left or right. what about when it ran out of fuel? they dont know when it ran out of foul. and if this thing is flying 400, 500 miles an hour, very, very far off in terms of that distance. so if the fuel depleted quickly, at the earliest possible point and there was no glide at all, then you push your primary search area way up here. and th...

Clues that we used after that. but having an idea where the last known position is, even if its fairly sloppy, means thats a great place to start. and i couldnt agree more. i agree with miles completely. we need to be over there. we need to take a closer look at it. but what a great place to start. and the sooner to better to start the underwater search. >> richard? >> because this thinping is proy more significant than the other ones, bearing in mind the time that we know that the plane would h...

As the search continues for any wreckage of flight 370, so continues the search for answers. the big question still looming what happened to this plane. the mystery has led to a lot of different avenues for investigators. right now we want to take a close look at the so-called ghost plane theory that everyone on board was perhaps unconscious because of loss of pressurization or smoke from a fire and then the plane continued to fly for hours on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel. thats one scena...
