Frequency at which the ping is emitted. but we want to be very careful here. it has not yet been confirmed that ping at 37.5 kilohertz is from a flight data recorder. we know there will be, of course, an effort now to confirm that as more resources are flooded into that area. >> as long as that continues to go forward. are we taking a break, guys? or keep talking. we will take a quick break as we continue to get some information. we will bring you full coverage with our team all over the world. ...

Well, for some people, the chinese ship detecting a pulse signal is unlikely. why is that? well, the ship was outside of the search area, and using a more modest piece of equipment, and the experts have said that finding a ping without having found confirmed debris first would be very, very difficult. so we will bring back our own experts to talk about this side of things. cnn aviation analyst miles obrien, and cnn regulation and government correspondent rene marsh back with us, and cnn correspo...

Up on. >> and/or was someone from the chinese ship in a way, i guess you could say to borrow your metaphor some intel help them in picking the lottery numbers. richard, and miles and rene, thank you to all of you. and now coming up, could this ping be from the mh-370 ship? for that martin savidge is standing by in the flight simulator to explain why this plane might have taken this path. ♪ ben! ♪ [ train whistle blows ] oh, that was close. you aint lying. let quicken loans help you save your...

And designated the assets that are to go and search in that area. thats the way its being set up. now, im sure there may be some very strong reasons why this ship was not searching where it had been authorized to search. it may be that it was on its way and picked up the ping. it may be that it had received per other authorization to search in this area. but the way this is being announced the way this pinging information has got in the public domain is exactly the way you dont want it to happen...

If the pinger is hidden behind a hill, for example, or a mountain or a legit could mask the ping that it would emit and even some sections of the plane could do that. the other problem you have in that area is right now its the advent of winter. so your functional time, efficient time at sea is going to be limited down to maybe several days, a week. >> foria eunice, arnold carr, thank you very much for your expertise. searching for the truth of flight 370, could an insecure cockpit have left t...

Area. so the towed pinger locater, the thing weve put in the water just earlier yesterday, can only search about a mile away for a location. until we have some indication where the plane might have gone or have we seen some surface debris, it wouldnt have done a whole lot of water. >> the black box batteries were due for overhauls in 2012, never returned to the manufacturer. if that is the case and the batteries are dead, will they be able to find the black boxes? >> the pinger locater will only...

The maker of the hydrophone that the search crews aboard the chinese ship were using when they defected a ping on the 325 kilohertz frequency for about a minute and a half. and this is so advanced to track underwater pingers. it can be used by divers or handheld from the surface like the chinese were doing in the video there. if we put up the video, you can see it exactly, there because it is clear when you look at the video that this equipment is not going as deep as the tow pinger can go. and ...

And ocean ography study vessels. we have to find it, first. >> we want to be sensitive, we dont know what happen. heart breaking truth two tliep percent vapished. this ping if they locate it is coming from, they will giulent. and once those batteries are dead, what happens. >> if they find a debrie fold. i am not a ocean oper at a they would try to find where and when that demoved and if it moved 229

Far apart these frontcoum the ce ships. we have to wait and see. >> simon i think you used the word a moment ago that you would be astounded if indeed this ping is from one of the black boxes because the odds are stacked against all of these crews that are searching having no sight of debris. because the depth of the water, the terrain there below the water, and all of that can get in the way of sending out a signal thats only detectable at what, one or two nautical miles? >> yeah, at most. bear...

Where the ping was heard, the line is very nicely with that. >> almost exact ly to the arc. >> it is off to one side. >> off to the east a little bit, but it coincides with where the last ping s and it is almost identical, and right on that route. >> and what we would really love to know if we had more information on this, of course, is what were the exact locations and them, of course, if you knew the altitude that the aircraft was flying at and the fuel levels, we could plug it in, and technic...
