Its a magnificent task, carried out in the spirit of cooperation, which im extraordinarily pleased and proud of and i want to pause to say thank you to all of the countries involved here for the good work theyve done. but that work goes on, as i say, aggressively an enthusiastically, given the lead we have had in the last 24 hours. >> are the resources being moved away from the signals detected, back over to where the ocean shield is? >> you want to take that one? >> one of the -- the sort of --...

Vessel which helped them test their vessel. but youre not supposed to put it on the boat when do you a real search because you could end up hearing yourself. just looking at it sharing the iphone buds and the pole, given the relative sophistication we have to defer to the ocean shield. >> well take a quick break. well have more. how much longer can the pingers last? well go straight to the source on that. >> as soon as it hits the water it starts pinging. its designed that way. >> also ahead i w...

Pings detected by the ocean shield ship were actually at 33.3 kilohertz. thats a lower frequency than 37.5 kilohertz. does this mean this cant be the plane or is there some other explanation and it still could be? >> it definitely still could be. what you have with the pinger frequency can be affected by temperature of the water, the depth, the pressure, the current and actually the battery life and actual orientation of the pinger on the floor. all those could affect it. so definitely could be....

One physical piece of this plane to verify that it even went down in the southern indian ocean. theres a lot of attention as well on this other area where the australian ship, the ocean shield, is towing behind that navy pinger locator. its been going back and forth eight hours to do a sweep and its basically like mowing the lawn. theyre sweeing back and forth. the ocean is like a grid and theyre scanning to see if they can relocate those two pings that they heard or they think they heard over t...

(agent) i understand. (dad) weve never sold a house before. (agent) ill walk you guys through every step. (dad) so if we sell, do you think we can swing it? (agent) i have the numbers right here and based on the comps that ive found, the timing is perfect. ...theres a lot of buyers for a house like yours. (dad) thats good to know. (mom) im so excited. this is a fox news alert. as search crews scour the indian ocean for signs of flight 370, the australian government just releasing video and aud...

Debris that may have been sp spotted, to try to spot some more debris, to give us a clue as to where this plane may have come down. so far, absolutely nothing, really, from the air, of instance, we understand, has turned up. so still lots of areas of interest, but the main focus, i think, still remaining this place where the "ocean shield" is doing its survey work. >> matthew chance, stand by. well be depending on you throughout the hour. just as soon as that press conference gets started, well ...

Many thousands of miles where this plane could have been, that this is all relative to that narrow. but this is of course thousands of miles of shifting. will the search area move again? matthew chance is in perth tonight. matthew, whats the very latest as youre there? theyre getting ready to go out and search. and i know the planes are leaving from the base behind where you are now. >> yeah, theyre going to start leaving within the next few minutes apparently, erin. the very latest is weve had ...

From. >> acoustic energy, sound through the water, is greatly affected by time, pressure, and salinity. >> reporter: if "ocean shield" hear hears another ping and is able to fix the position, it will put blue fin 21 into the water and attempt to find wreckage on the sea floor. if wreckage is located, one aspect may work in investigators favor. very low temperatures. >> cold temperatures does preserve things better than a shallower, warm temperatures. >> reporter: the search continues. >> and wha...

Until and unless we find another transmission. and then, thereafter, theyll put down the blue fin. and he said, if they do that, and this is the wording he used, because its really telling, he said, it would take many, many days if they have to scan the bottom of the ocean. and when he was asked again, he said, a long, long time. so i think what we are in at the moment now, its very clear what were in, several more days of "ocean shield" trying to find, using the pinger. >> can i jump in here to...

Caution show cautiously optimistic. the task now the ocean shield is trying to find the signal again and hoping for confirmation. if the ping is detected again crews will launch this underwater drone. at the same time 375 miles away, chinese ships and the british hms echo are trying to confirm pings the chinese briefly detected friday and saturday. australian officials say its unlikely to be from the same source. >> quite possible for sound to travel great distances laterally but be very difficu...
