Honor guard. Oh say can you see by the dawns early light what so proudly we hail at the twilights last gleaming stripes and bright stars night gh the perilous we watch m parts were so galantly streaming red glare ckets in air bs bursting f through the night that our flag was still there stars y does that wave d banner yet over the land of the free and the home of the brave. [applause] moment of silence. Good morning. My dad worked in the north tower. Remembering back to the horrible day 15 years ago has changed my life. I was ten years old. My brothers were eight, seven, and five. Today im proud to be here to memorialize my father. This is the place that gives me a chance to think about beautiful memories, like Christmas Eve when dad took my brothers and i to work to give my mom a break. On 9 11, the nation came together. People really tried to help us. I spent endless summers at a camp for kids who lost family members on 9 11. The counsels helped us to laugh and have fun, to let us kn
Do not have any confirmation on that. Weve got a map to show you. About 25 Degrees South latitude and 101 degrees east longitude. This is all according to Chinese State media. We havent independently confirmed this, again, just want to reiterate that. Neither has the joint Agency Coordination center in charge of this search in perth. The pulse signal has a frequency of 37. 5 kilohertz per second which is said to be the standard beacon frequency for the flight data recorders and why its getting attention right now. Heres one more reason why this is incredible. The batteries for those pingers may have only hours of power left before they run out. So with time running out, this may be the best hope of finding flight 370. I want to bring in our panel here. Thank all of you for being with us as we have got this covered from experts with the ocean to the air to the investigation. And thank you all so much for being with us. Jeff weise, as youre hearing this information im wondering, from you
Recorder and or the cockpit voice recorder. Those signals the Prime Minister was talking about, they are designed to emit for 30 days. Today is day 36 of the search. Overnight, even the Prime Minister warned that searching for the boxes beneath three miles of water is a daunting task. Overnight, at least ten planes and 14 ships scoured the smallest search zone to date, but that search is still about the size of massachusetts and connecticut combined. Im talking about 16,000 miles. This morning, we have guests exclusive to this program to tackle this issue head on. Andy bowen of the Oceanographic Institute with us today. Woods hole found the wreckage of flight 447. We have expertise of kareen tina symons. I have a lot of questions about the pinger. The depies to emct the signals. We have a lot to tackle so lets get started. The search area is massive. But more intimidating, the depth at which crews might have to search. 13,000 feet down. The eiffel tower, empire state building, 1 World
Connected to the missing plane. Officials also say a Chinese Air Force plane spotted several floating white objects earlier today. Its not clear yet if those are connected to the plane either. And now the task is finding out if any of these new, potential clues are indeed linked to the planes disappearance. We have our teams around the world digging into every angle. Will ripley is live for us in perth, australia, and rene marsh live in washington, d. C. So, will, let me begin with you. Whats the latest on the search efforts, trying to confirm these reported sightings and detections . Well, yeah. 3 00 a. M. Here in perth and we know that search effort, the Aerial Search effort, will be ramping up here at peairs pearc base. We dont know will the planes go to new area, outside the designated search zone when the chinese ship supposedly detected some sort of a ping. Big question, we dont know why they were looking in this particular place. One question were hoemping to get answered from t
This new strategy will likely drag out the search a lot longer. This bluefin21 submarine takes six times to search as the towed pinger locater. Today the sub can only carry an area of about 15 square miles which is about 7,200 football fields meaning the scan of the entire search area which is the size of los angeles could take up to two months. The deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle has the potential to take us a further step towards visual identification since it offers a possible opportunity to detect debris from the aircraft on the ocean floor. I would caution you against raising hopes that the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not. However, this is the best lead we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. This morning the head of the search team says an oil slick was found in the search area, but lit take several more days to figure out where the oil came from. Cnns will ripley is in perth,
