Have been heard. they have been searching where the pings were heard and now say the pings are believed to no longer have come from the so-called black boxes. lets talk to former ntsb managing director and tom fuentes, former fbi assistant director. its pretty shock iing, when yo think about it, early on, everybody talking about the four pi pings coming from the black box, voices saying, not so fast. they werent the same megahertz or ping boxes supposed to deliver. they said, well, maybe the oce...

Southern arc, the satellite handshakes shown the southern indian ocean, where it may have gone in the ocean, the pings from the black box only go out a mile or two, what a lucky break that they heard those pings. there were thousands and thousands of miles out there in that southern arc. >> right. at the time you recall you had oce oceanographers, other experts saying, oh, no, thats not true, the thermal layers of the ocean, pings can carry thousands of miles and other ocean sounds can carry tho...

Ping, the partial hand shake from the plane to the satellite, remember the handshakes. they will go back and remain truthful and faithful to where that seventh hand shake is and define and area possibly up to 60,000 square kilometers. they will map the ocean bed. that is crucial to understand what the floor of the ocean looks like before they search again, then give a private contractor the job of doing it. >> rene, if theres one ray of light in your reporting today to say it is excellent, just ...

More than just for the explosion itself. theyre listening for activity in certain areas. and this area may just have been lucky enough to be near an area where the aircraft crashed. >> mary, we talked to richard quest a moment ago talking about the fact theyre essentially going back to the drawing board, back to that seventh handshake, that partial handshake, that seventh ping. again, reassess the data and go from there. you said this is normal in the course of an investigation. >> it is. you fo...

Hydrophone stations that pick up many sounds even ice breaking thousands of miles away in antarctica. but could it hear a plane hitting the water? >> it is possible, but the circumstances that would allow it would have to be very particular. >> were joined by renee marsh, aviation expert richard quest, and david gallo, who co-led the search for air france flight 447. how big is this? >> it is enormous, given the fact they searched for weeks. lets push it out to the future. they didnt just search...

This news, the australians saying, you know, the plane is not where the bluefin has been searching these last several weeks, and this news that a u.s. navy official suggesting that maybe those pings werent really pings to begin with. >> its really more a matter of perspective, because what you call a blow i call a matter to celebrate. you know, if, indeed, those sounds were the pings, which by the way, i havent believed since the beginning, then it would be a confirmation that the flight is unde...

Of going into peoples cabins and turning off radios. they wanted that ship as quiet as it possibly could be to hear it. now, were not hearing just one ping here or something. were hearing a repeatable series of pings over two hours at the correct representation rate, at the correct pulse length, at the correct peaked amplitude. you cannot reproduce this stuff. you cant reproduce it by natural means or the earth isnt doing it, the ocean isnt doing it. the animals are not doing it. and their ship ...

Deep for bluefin-21 to scan for wreckage. >> the areas north of that ping were too deep for the bluefin. sure. could it be north? absolutely. it could be north. >> reporter: whats next? reviewing all existing data including inmarsat and satellite data. from there, defining a search area that could be 23,000 square miles along the arc in the south indian ocean. a ship will map the ocean floor in that area preparing for the day private companies are hired to continue the underwater search. so for ...

The entire world because every time somebody gets on an airplane they should be very worried that it could go missing again. so, you know, what they asked for more than eight weeks ago is that the raw information, so all of the information that was used to determine where the airplane went, was released for third-party review. we also asked for the data from that exact same airplane, so the same flight but from the days prior so that you could have some validation of, you know, its exact timings...
