Triangulating. how do you figure out the location? what do you do? do you drop markers or what have you? so if the batteries are gone, it does give them, you know, an area which to search, but as you heard angus houston say, its a very big area, and there are, you know, the next thing theyre going to have to do is drop that blue fin 21 in, and thats going to take days and days and days. much longer if they get another ping or pulse. >> yeah, don, youre absolutely right. this is going to go on fo...
