Optimistic than i was a week ago. >> search chief angus houston talking there. if the detected pings happen to be related to flight 370, the big question is why are there no signs of debris seen in the region. >> lets bring in our meteorologist. there are a number of other factors at play here. >> we keep going back to what has occurred to try to track down where the aircraft debris maybe, if it is associated with the signal out there. showing you the search zones in place. dozens of search zone...

Contacts with any transmission. we need to continue that for several days right up to when the a point at which theres no doubt that tit will have expire. >> search crews will wait for a third ping as you heard before sending a sub down to look for debris. we will have the latest in a live report in just a few minutes. >> the yukon huskies are the 2014 ncaa national champions. >> the huskies once again are in basketball heaven. >> the huskies celebrating as they took down the kentucky wildcats. ...

Presentation on a big screen of the flight path of the plane, from 12:41 a.m., when the plane had taken off from kuala lumpur all the way until 8:19 a.m., when that partial ping was detected by the satellite. now, these family members stayed together during these 7 1/2 hours. they prayed, they cried, they meditated. they draw strength from each other. and one relative explains how difficult the past couple of weeks have been. >> a months passed, and we are just going through so many, so many kin...

Month, and the relatives did mark that one month earlier today at 12:41 a.m. they held a candlelight vigil in the lido hotel. they lit candles one by one in the shape of a heart, and inside, youll also see "mh-370" written, as well as the shape of a plane. and they held this candlelight vigil for the length of time that they believe their loved ones were on this flight, all the way until 8:11 this morning. that was symbolic of -- 8:19, rather -- of the last moment that the last partial ping was ...
