Is anything left at all. lets talk about this with miles obrien and jeff wise. what can you tell us about what that means? >> its to go out and to listen essentially for these pings. ideally, what youd want to do first is work backwards against known currents and winds and have a place to look for it that you would be more likely to hold the remains. but having not found anything on the surface, it sounds like they are going to go out and have a go because time is running out and if they dont us...

>> all right, nic, reporting live from kuala lumpur. richard quest, miles obrien and jeff wise. pretty amazing when you hear what nic just said. they were saying they are not confirming whether the plane crashed or could have landed safely. >> this investigation, its hard for us to say how the investigation is going and richard and i have differed on our perception of that. we could all agree the communication is horrible. just horrible. to the families, to the public. inconsistent. they have wa...

Difficult. >> they were mentioning if the pingers are dead, the search is exponentially difficult. you are no longer relying on the signals, but you need the visual signals. when you do find the wreckage, because the ocean is so vast and constantly moving, that doesnt tell you that you are close to finding the black box. >> the black boxes can always be damaged. i hope not. joining me now is jeff wise. a lot of talk about the aviation industry about the failure to modernize. these boxes are outd...

I want to ask you this, this is from the australian prime minister, tony abbott. he said we cannot be certain of ultimate success in the search, but we will spare no rest and no effort. what does that mean to you, michael? >> i think theres been so much inconsistency and discrediting information coming out of malaysia, that i think australia have salvaged this in terms of the investigation right from the prime minister all the way down to the military and the civilian search operation. so, i per...

Located all over the streets of every major city. thats not public unless there is some type of investigation and usually if there is a stop get the video. >> i get that. my -- unless there are safeguards in place that this cannot be used for disciplinary purposes, you are never going to get any pilot to sign off on it. we have used this type of stuff for the information thats off the digital flight data recorder. thats very useful information. because we are catching safety trends. we are keepi...

Story, the hunt for flight 370. we just heard from the australian and malaysian prime ministers. now, we want to hear from our panel. jim tillman, david soucie. and les, a 777 captain. i want to get your reaction to the press conference we heard a short time ago. the prime minister said this was the most difficult search ever undertaken. he said we cant be certain of success, but we will not spare any effort. jeff, he said they may never

Whos investigating, jeff wise? >> well, we know that it didnt end up in diego garcia. but today, in a conference between the authorities and the chinese family reiterated that known heading of this plane was to the northwest. this was towards the end of islands and this is an important piece that has been overlooked i think in reporting over the last few weeks. theres now currently no known information known to the public, known to us to determine if the plane went in one direction rather than a...

Conversation than cameras in the cockpit but important nonetheless. how could they have clear ed all 227 passengers in this and what does it mean that they have havent cleared the crew, michael kay? >> i mean, this isnt my area of expertise in the fbi approach on the investigations, doing background checks on every passenger on board. in terms of the crew, i think thats a more likely area to focus on and i think it would be easier to narrow down whether there were abnormalities in crew behavior,...

The video. >> well, unless there are safeguards in place, youre never going to get any pilot to sign off on it. we used this for information off the digital flight data recorder. but keeping it anonymous so it doesnt matter that this is occurring by one specific pilot. it could be by many. and the same thing for the cameras in the cockpit. if we have safeguards, we may start to reconsider that. >> jeff, are they fighting a losing battle here? >> well, its the way that society is going. everythin...

Finish your thought. >> well, the guys are picking up a computer data system, the acars. if someone wants to do something subversive in the cockpit, they can shut down the camera. >> maybe we should have transponders that cant be shut off. right, jeff wise? >> well, the president of the united states used to record all of his conversations. and it didnt work out well for nixon. >> he has cameras that follows him every day. >> richard nixon -- >> when les is at home, he doesnt have to have camera...
