Page 9 - Ocean Shield News Today

Go flight explorer. we can go and watch all the boats. we can see them out there, how fast theyre going, what direction theyre going and where they have been. really quickly, this ocean shield has been going about .4 knots. a half a mile per hour. does that seem slow to you? >> again, the thing to watch is the blue fin. it moves by itself. its completely unconnected. the fact that the ocean shield may be staying in one spot while a vehicle is on the bottom means nothing. the issue is how much of...

So far its not detected anything significant. theres some indication from the transport minister that maybe they should add some more drones down there to do this search for at least the black box for some sort of wreckage s that a good idea? >> sure. if its coordinated and done in tandem with the bluefin-21. you dont want to have a lot of independent searches but certainly if you have another drone, you should put it down in coordination. >> i know they are frustrated, tom, but this could go on...

All in the hopes of finding any debris. >> the search area is so unbelievably remote, it takes us almost five hours to get out here and we only have enough fuel for an hour and a half of searching before the nearly five-hour journey home. >> the air search may be winding down soon but right now the crew of this new zealand p-3 orion is not giving up. >> if we dont find a piece of the puzzle, one of the reasons we are here now continuing to search is we may find debris that may assist the investi...

Underwater, is there still an active search for debris from ships that are in the region and airplanes continuing? >> that is an interesting question. only earlier this week that we heard angus houston that he expected the air and sea search to be wound down in the days coming ahead. has not happened, the planes are still up and about. we have a crew on one of them right now as we speak. we will be getting his report in the hours ahead. the ships are still out there, too. here we are in weak six...

Sounds. >> its amaze iing hopefully th can throw some more resources at this. >> i think this is one of the coolest things i have seen all day. this is what the ocean shield has done now this is the same square. thats what the ocean shield has done in the past nine hours. thats it. dont look to that. the blue fin is down below going back and forth. it has not moved much. >> thank you both very much. talk about a somber day in nepal. we will get reaction from a professional climber coming up who ...

Doesnt find anything? lets talk about it with david soucie back with us. david, lets first talk about where we are now and then where we could be if they decide to go on to a different phase. >> right. >> the focus of the search, where is the pings were located, our yellow dot. >> right. >> so lets throw out that animation of where the pings are and also then the search area around it and where the "ocean shield" is focusing. its a relatively small area compared to what we were looking at. its a...

Be on top of it? that doesnt tell us a thing? >> absolutely. >> thats what i saw. let me show you this. i said wow this boat, this ocean shield essentially came to a stop, and thats great news. if it came to a stop then maybe this blue fin found something. here is australia. here is the indian ocean. that, brooke, that dot is what they have it down to right now. that is it. thats about 49 to 50 square miles here in that polygone. but something else, we know that as the pinger went across, it fou...

But i think the confidence comes from the fact they had four hand shakes and a partial fifth from the satellites. that last one, as they sent the "ocean shield" and their assets right there and boom, first day they got the ping. i think that was a big confidence builder that let them know they are in the right place, that the hand shakes from the satellite directed them in the right direction. i think thats probably the confidence. they seem to be in the right place. their clues so far are panni...

Suffer the consequences. one way or the other. in the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable, it is grotesque. >> we will take you live to the ukrainian boarder to get a little more context from our correspondent there who has been on the ground. a lot of questions there on that breaking story. also this. now to the hunt. flight 370. here is what we know right now. crews are anxiously waiting to find out exactly what this bluefi...

That arc could be about 370 miles long and 30 miles wide. one expert we have consulted, rob mccallum, an ocean search specialist, believes that figure is way too high. he says in the area that dolan is talking about, even with two towed locators working, he thinks the price tags much closer to $15 million, wolf. so youve got projections on the far end of the spectrum but when all is said and done, its very hard to project these figures. >> and the u.s. navy is projecting what it might cost the u...
