So i think that australia will make a recommendation and malaysia will concur or disagree. but if the first efforts dont pan out i think they will explore the areas of the pings and fan out more. we heard the information about the acoustic tricks of the ocean that some of the signals can travel further than the three miles from the ping. i think they will exhaust all the pings before going to plan "b." >> im getting tweets about this. why not have more bluefins in the water? >> the plan to me --...

Gone down for its third, its come back from its third mission, and they are analyzing that data now. we may find out more about what it saw on that third full mission that its undertaken. it will go back into the water for another 16-hour mission. that would be its fourth mission now. and keep in mind, this device is looking into an area maybe 500 or 600 square miles out of the tens of thousands of square miles that they started searching. they have narrowed it down to that fairly small 600-squa...

Water and taking the best bite of the apple so far, down for a full 16 hours, a massive, massive data dump that they will now pore through and try to figure out exactly what it saw down there. it will be up for four hours and then it will go back down again. it may already be back down there. the p-8, the poseidon aircraft, a very sophisticated u.s. aircraft, there are two of them here on scene. each one is flying each day. they are also searching at the same time over the surface of the water, ...

Very question on monday. there is nothing else anywhere close and therefore we have to make due with this piece of equipment. but when you see these hiccups and that we dont know yet what the jury is still out on the third one you have to wonder how long is this going take and is this the right tool? >> were going to ask questions with regard to the one single blue fin. what about the oil slick? tell me about that. >> they found this oil slick near the area where the last ping was detected and t...

Turned out to be -- on april 5, china reported a possible ping from the chinese flight recorders. now some people are blaming the chinese for wasting time and resources in the search early on. tonight the chinese government is pushing back, after the "new york times" came out with this headline, suggesting chinese search efforts are hurting as well as helping. >> i think the point is the report is groundless and irresponsible. we express profound dissatisfaction over it. >> i just find that a li...

About. that one just doesnt have a whole lot of logic involved. >> this is a tweet from eric. he says if the pilot was able to disable acars, et cetera, how hard would it be to disable, disconnect black boxes? >> thats something we talked about actually a while ago. it seems they could have indeed turned off the black boxes. if indeed we find the flight data recorder, there might not be anything on them. >> mary schiavo, this is from david, and david says why dont pingers ping in unique code in ...

Approximately six weeks to two months to cover that whole entire area. right now what were doing is were targeting specific areas based on the information we received from the tow pinger locator, giving us kind of an indication of higher probability areas or higher priority areas to go searching and thats what were doing. this is more of what i talk a tactical search than a strategic search. >> do you believe you have ping from two separate -- you cant say for sure they are black box -- but from...

Well see pinpoint >> whats happening in that first six hours of data whats happening to it? >> im sure a lot of people staring at a couple of screens. its a waterfall display. line by line. every time that vehicle set out every second a ping. its painting a picture line by line almost like a tapestry. they are waiting for that to see what the texture, what will they see on the bottom. rocks, sediment, something manmade? >> our randy kay takes us underwater. lets take a look at that. takes us und...

Of its ships detected a possible ping from the flights recorders. days later, those claims were also dismissed. now some investigators are blaming the chinese for wasting other countries valuable time and resources in the search early on. tonight, the chinese government is pushing back. after "the new york times" came out with this headline suggesting chinese search efforts are hurting as much as helping. >> translator: i think the point of the report is groundless and irresponsible, even delibe...

Told cnn is that, no, he wasnt in fact trying to make a call, just that his phone was picked up on that handshake as soon as they find a tower to talk to. >> what kind of information could investigators get, if they do determine that there were, i dont know, if ping is the right word, but passenger cell phones had communicated with towers? >> it would definitely tell us that either the passengers left their phones on, or that the passengers were trying to turn their phones on to communicate. in ...
