Missing scan the surface from the air and ship. then develop your drift model and work backwards to find out where the point of impact is. then you start listening for ping pingers attached to the black boxes. then you sent out an rov and physically retrieve the black box. we dont need to keep looking for wreckage on the surface. as time goes by that will get more dispersed. the best surface wreckage data we have we already have. we wont get more. they should start, im sure they already are -- >...

>> i believe that everybody should know the lord. if you dont know the lord, i encourage you to know the lord. i heard a ping. bing, bing, bing. >> i see this man probably in his latest 50s or early 60s. i look down and saw this younger hispanic guys. repeatedly. his head was bouncing off the pole. >> today was the battery and it was stopping his head and that was pretty messed up. >> the inmate attacked survived because of quick response on the yard. some of the most violence gang attacks hav...

Theyve got 25 days of battery life left on the black boxes. to get the ping they need the acoustic detection underwater. they have the devices there but only been able to get one in the water, and because its also shadow where the plane is believed to have gone down maybe 120 feet theres a lot of other noise coming from the sea so its actually quite a confused down there. really not a lot further ahead. theres multiple vessels on the scene but they cant do anything. no divers in the water, no ae...

Indispensable clues as to what may have happened. none are more critical than the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. more on the search now from cnns stephanie elam. >> reporter: as the first pieces from airasia flight 8501 are recovered, the intense hunt for the rest of the plane continues. for investigators, the planes flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, otherwise known as the black box, may explain what led to this disaster. but how will searchers look for the plane und...

On an airplane. you have to be waivers certificates and stuff like that. but just to have a device that goes ping, ping and says im here, here doesnt necessarily have to be something that costs millions per airplane. thats just my opinion. wed have to get an aircraft engineer to get a final on that one. >> are you venturing an idea on what what brought this plane down or is it too early? >> its materially, but maybe with the airplane deciding white climb and coming down, maybe stalling. we will ...

Those are the kind of information that will come from the two black boxes. >> how essential is time and finding those black boxes and finding the rest of the wreckage in terms of making sure we dont lose any clues? >> well time is essential for the black boxes in the ping in the batteries is only supposed to work for 30 days. those are the parameters by the manufacturer. however, the data on the black boxes will be there virtually forever, as you may recall from air france. they didnt find one o...

Talk about any kind of aircraft helicopters reaching the location not only do we have ships on scene able to do it but the actual distance from the shore to this location is only about 99 miles from the nearest major hub up in here. thats really in strikable range. also beyond that and important to note is the water depth. air france when it went down they found debris after five six days but they didnt find the body the parts of the airplane for almost two years, but that was much much much dee...

But this is 30 pounds. people joke, why not make the whole plane out of the black box? it would never fly. this is a reinforced box to keep that data secure. how do you find it? this thing, we call it pings, it sends out a signal and were going to drive a signal locater over the top, drag it behind a boat. that right there would be the tpo 25. but skd be anything, listening for that ping at about 37.5 kilohertz. if it finds a click, click, click -- say its clicking. youll hear the click, click, ...
