A robotic submarine deep in the indian ocean. theyre hoping it will find the wreckage there somehow. after failing to pick up any ping signals the last few days. here is the latest. david? >> look for the missing plane. as you said, they sent a submarine down to check for wreckage. the recent they are going to send the sub down is because theres been looking there for nearly a week. the batteries which powered the black boxes must have now run down. the area theyve been searching is around 1,000...

Can. hes been very good about this. ive been saying before about accident investigations. the key to a good investigation is not to draw conclusions for people but to provide them with the facts which he has done. hes done a really good job of that. i really admire him for how he handled that. >> so why are the facts making you feel positive? >> hes not drawing a conclusion based on the facts but what im looking at is that for two hours they received a solid ping. all these other pings that they...

These are the ones that kind of bounced and moved around out here. >> why do you think they know they want to focus on this one -- its the first one they got, but why isnt that an echo? >> well, because its solid and for a long period of time. >> this is the two hours. >> yeah. if you look at where the beacon would be and its radiating out. remember, it will go three miles or so. and thats a minimum it can go farther than that. this is 160 decibels which is the same as a gunshot. thats how loud ...

Crews picked up under water sounds. but they havent heard any pings since tuesday. the editor of military.com. i thank you so much for joining us, sir. how would you describe the new technology? >> it is an unmanned underwater subas you said. it will take over where that towedpinger and found a ping and it was six days ago. we think it is the black boxes have run out of the batteries and map the sea floor in the area where the pings were heard. >> the understanding that the area which they are l...

And planes will be taking off shortly. the reason the visual search area has expanded, they continue to refine this data. they are looking at the currents and analyzing where they think the debris field may have floated from the time they think the plane went into the indian ocean until now. keep in mind, its a moving target. these are -- this is debris that would be affected by weather conditions, by the currents, and really its a guess. its an educated guess as to where this might be. the plan...

Secretary kerry is warning russia to back off. they cant keep us down, these terrorist events that keep happening we need to rise pof them. >> tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the boston bombing. today, runners remember the terror and prepare to honor the fallen in this years race. your "new day" starts now. take a nice deep breath, good exhale out this morning, as it is sunday. okay, lets get it together here. >> center yourself. >> im christipaul. >> im victor blackwell. the searc...

Was. thats why the inmar sat provided that information that the airplane was still pinging it, i guess the pulse in the satellite. thats what they said they had 7 1/2 hours of data. and that arc was where that plane was actually flying and where that flight most probably terminated. >> so the information of the arc of how it flew is coming from the ping that was picked up off the satellites, and that information just changed? >> that gave us the initial search area to look for for a debris field...

Signal and is very consistent with a beacon. >> you cant flat out say it came from this flight obviously without finding some sort of wreckage. >> thats correct. >> can you gather further data from just what theyve seen from the pings, like where it is specifically. it seems like we hear a ping, we hear a ping and five days later were no closer to it, that we know of, than five days ago. >> it helped assist in reducing the search area. granted, we wish it was a very, very small area, two miles, ...

Search, of course, theres the ocean surface, so youve got all the garbage we throw in our oceans which definitely throws an obstacles for that search, for that visual search at the surface. and down below that surface theres something called noise pollution. and manmade noise pollution is certainly a factor in all of this, as well as just the natural ambient noises that nature makes. >> manmade noise like what? >> low and mid-frequency sonar, for example, that have been known to enter fointerfer...

The lawn, start to scan the sea floor. >> and captain gurley, it seems that the battery is either dead or its dying. if they havent heard anything in five days, i mean, why wouldnt they already have made the decision either publicly or at least to send the bluefin into the water. >> well, the usaustralians have wanted to give every possible chance to pick up the ping. the next phase of the search, the slowest phase of the search, which is mowing the lawn, as rob said, at the ocean bottom. so any...
