Ping. obviously, wed like a more narrowed down search area, because you know, you can only hear in ideal conditions that ping up to 2 1/2 miles around. if the weather gets worse, if there is debris blocking it, then that distance gets smaller. but if we knew where possibly the wreckage might be, wed have a lot better shot of getting close to that black box. >> that is what is so hard, that even though they have somewhat narrowed the search data -- the search based on the most recent data, its no...

Underwater vehicles to actually find it. and they never did find the black box with pingers or anything else. they found it by seeing pieces of the debris down there and literally working their way through. youre right, they had a debris field. they had a search zone. that makes a huge difference. >> so christine, if were talking about a diminishing signal, as i understand it, the black boxes just dont stop one day. they just get weaker and weaker and weaker. like a flashlight. eventually dimmin...

Obviously you dont keep looking once you kind it. it could be only 25 days. but if its the last thing they find, 124 days. and the pings dead by then. >> no dice because the batterys going away. but hopefully with those submersibles that could help find the wreckage. but they have to have the debris. keep going back to that. thank you. coming up, a closer look at twa flight 800. these pictures, how they reconstructed the plane. we will tell you how that investigation compares to flight 370. an...

A specific search today. they heard a false ping, could that be trash or debris other than the plane? >> it could be. but as for how deep that trash might be, thats the big unknown. most of the plastic floats. 50% floats. the other 50% will sink. so its possible some of those items might be throughout the water column. its a huge unknown. >> how much trash is out there? i understand you brought some things that we can expect to find. can you show us? >> so we brought a few things to show you wha...

Kilometers, why is the towed pinger locater being launched in that area specifically? i know the hms echo is also involved. >> that area has been picked because on the basis of the analysis, and as you know, its on the basis that the six hours of pings we have the exchange between the satellite and the aircraft on an hourly basis. and then there was an additional ping where we think the aircraft might have run out of fuel. on that and on an incredible amount of work thats gone on in terms of how...

The virtual room to map this out. tom. >> it is all, brooke, as it has been for some time now, on conjecture. if you look at the general search area, what has changed over the 17, 18 days, look how theyve changed. change, change, change. the question is not how they ended up here, but jumping around day to day to day with such certainty and why go underwater. this is a much different operation than before. much more limited in terms of the towed pinger. the thing listening for the ping we were. ...

It is going to be hafrd. you can do it. >> the search is using incredible sophisticated to help look for the ping underneath the ocean. i dunno, i just ah woke up today and i said i need something sportier. annnd done. ok maxwell, just need to ah contact your insurance company with the vin number. oh, i just did it. with my geico app. vin # is up to the loaded. ok well then jerry here will take you through all of the features then. why dont weeeeeeeeeeee go out to the car. ok, ill just be outsid...

They want to be 100 times smaller, superior, michigan, huron, and most of lake erie, but not lake ontario. all of that. im going to give a lot of benefit of the doubt to the technology in saying we have heard about this one to two to three mile range on the ping, ping, ping. im going three miles, thats the highest. if this listener can listen three miles in both directions, a six-mile wide strip. its a six-mile wide lawn mower. you go back and forth and try to cover 84,000 square miles, six mile...

The batteries on the black boxes, when they die and then what happens. it would seem there is no hope in locating a ping. richard quest. aviator and royal air enforcement colonel michael kay and christine dennison. i really hate asking this question. but it has to be asked, richard quest. after sunday, what hope do we really have if those pingers stop pinging? >> we have as much hope as we have with air france 447. now, in that case, they had a debris field. not only did they have a debris field...
