You cant get machines into this area and you are using people looking and digging and searching and mapping out and sending back so they can form a grid system and then they will go back in and do it in terms of what they need what is the most important, the black box. theyve located it and they have to recover it and get it out and get it up that hill and up to a helicopter and bring it back. so they will be doing this methodically and very carefully and very slowly. >> and that is the most imp...

Is. it is kind of complicated because you have a grid system here but the numbers dont correspond to the grid. >> youre maligning new york city planning and not the cab drivers who have not figured out, lets say, the west village. >> your question presumes a fact not in evidence which is they already know where theyre going. i have been in a lot of cabs that gps would have been our only salvation. >> where is the gps? something i think is lost generational generationally. im frequently looking a...

Supposed to touch down is also offering assets. so theres a number of ships and planes and helicopters that are involved in the search and rescue operation. but we heard from the transport minister ministery that it was a very broad search location. so they have warned everybody its not going to be an easy task to find this plane. >> and my understanding, the way this area is being combed is using a grid system. tell us about that. >> well the way we understand it is that they have cordoned it o...

Plane was rising and flying about 100 knots below cruising speed. >> well, i think its a very, very important piece of information for the investigators because if that happened and if the plane exceeded its climb capacity and stalled, in other words, lost its airflow and then the plane would have fallen from the sky, in a situation like that, the plane comes to the earth like a leaf which would have impacted the water with great force and the wreckage would be more tightly contained and once yo...

And so you have a lot of people on on boats, visually just looking for something. anything thatll lead us to more. >> and what can you tell us about the grid system? i know that theyve divided this region where they think the plane went down into i think four different areas. how does this grid system work most effectively? >> well everyones going to be covering an area and sort of its ticking it off. its saying weve covered this much. this is what we found, what we didnt find and moving on to t...

Because of its implications. vladimir putin and the destabilization of the russian economy. who knows what putin is going to do next to try to get things right with oil prices. that will continue into 2015. number 4, another biggy. cyber terrorism. i fear that what were seeing currently with sony, not only isnt going to be the last. im pretty sure of that, but may wind up being trivial compared to what else some foreign power may decide to to do. if they can do this with sony and cause this much...

Fast on that because of issues perhaps, potentially reliability, especially if we have severe weather like we had with the polar vortex this year and extreme heat that could potentially happen in the future. back to you. jenna: just a quick question on that, rich. because of course we talked a lot about the threats to the grid because of terrorism. is it terror that it seems the government is really worried about hitting the grid, or is it just the infrastructure of the grid and whether or not i...

Shots too that you might be able to see in the video. and that gives you a sense of the area, and you do see those ribb ribbons. some of those ribbons are marking a grid system of sorts that weve set up to help them say weve checked this area and we can move on to the next area. and we also were told that a lot of what youre seeing in some of the video is under wear, until the past 24 hours, which made it difficult to get in and search those zones. theyve been using pumps to get all that water o...

Do you guys get images -- satellite immachblgs and then look for something in the water that matches it? >> well, what it is is the air crews from, for example, our p.a., were working with australian authorities that have the lead for this will be assigned a search area. so based on whatever information the australian authorities have that are leading the search, they will assign, for example, our unit where to go and search. >> but are you looking -- like lets say tomorrow you get images, these...

We set up a grid system that will ensure that were covering all the areas. and we will cover it more than once. we usually do it once, twice, or three times as needed to make sure that were covering all the areas that we need to go into. on the east side, on the darington side, we have the washington task force 1 integrated in, which theyre providing a lot of expertise in that usar type mode over there. its really similar to the national guard, their capabilities. and we also have other plans in...
