Something like that. then the planes term that will would have tried to re-establish with the satellite. it seems like the last partial ping, same thing was happening. it wasnt a timeout from the network to re-establish the plane was still connected. if its the same situation, it may well be connected with a turn, stall, dive, whatever. >> really interesting notion there. bob, we know youve had a chance to look at these images, the 122 first spotted and the field of 300, then maybe i dont know i...

Suzanne malveaux is working this part of the story. shes got new details. suzanne? >> wolf, we have new details about this because were talking about communications between the plane and a british commercial satellite. it could give us clue to what happened on board as well as the final moments. this is based on a theory that understanding exactly when that plane lost contact is going to tell us where the plane went down and dramatically narrow the search area. from the moment malaysia flight 37...

Challenge. this is more like a needle in a hayfield. the story we wrote today made the pointt that although they have the corridor, the southern corridor where they think the plane flew depending on the speed of the plane you get very large differences in the outcomes of the calculations. hundreds of miles of difference. i heard today is that broad search area is really like the size of alaska. so youve got these autonomous vehicles down there that go under the water and can listen for the ping ...

>> what about the new ping where after the last full ping there was a partial ping or partial handshake. there was a little bit more information. what do you make of the latest half ping? >> every hour when the ground station is getting no data from the plane it sends out a ping saying are you there and the plane sends back a signal saying we are still logged on to the network. there is no data going back and forth. there is just the ping. we are here. 8:11 a.m. malaysian time was the last full ...

The 777 has many, many redundant backup electrical systems. its going to take an awful lot to get them to all go out at one time. >> heres another question, jolly writes, has anyone even thought that ping in last location intentional to cover up the place really going? a lot of conspiracy theories out there as you well know its not a surprise. >> i dont know who would be controlling the ping and how they would control that. >> yeah. just people are always suspicious. >> right. >> something much ...

Partial pings like the other day. could that cause that? >> i think were overusing the word "ping" just a little bit. >> we label it as a ping. >> right. so the pings we talk about is when its communicating with the satellite. lets talk about that as a handshake. >> this is an actual ping. its more of a clicking. can we play it again? >> not much. >> it isnt much. and you have to be right over top of it. >> the reason they say that is if the box is in a con onor ravine -- canyon or ravine, it wi...

Well get some better weather. the imaging capabilities today in our calendar day were not good. yesterday they were very good. so, were getting more and more data that can now be searched through and it looks like based on the meteor logical forecast we just saw that i think today imaging time will be good, as well. >> this is an if, too, but if you say you find this and its debris, richard, but has moved a long way. now, this is why that half ping was so important. perhaps that half ping indica...

Top five. see a trend? tokyo, beijing, zurich, vancouver, london round out the top ten. 13 million submitted their picks. not a single u.s. airport made the cut. denver is lovely as is atlanta. eight minutes after the hour o. ahead at this hour, may be the most mysterious clue yet in the search. the final partial hand shake the plane sent to the satellite. up next, well speck to the satellite expert about what secret he thinks that ping, hand shake might hold. ♪ turn around ♪ every now and...

The tow machine coming around, whats it called? >> the hydrophone. >> yeah. so its listening for the ping. they went over this area and excluded it. they said this area is no longer valid. so then the rest of the year they had to wait a whole another year to start it again. then they finally realized if theyre not on we need to go back and look at what we did before. wasted a lot of time. >> miles, what do you think? youve covered many of these things over the years. from all that has happened i...

Much. but that is also a source of information where when the sonar cr scanners and submersibles and equipment to find the pingers finally arrive that is where you would want to send them. the black box and heavier parts of the plane would not have floated away. it sightings and this partial ping, thats where i would send the black box equipment to find it. >> david soucie, where is it going with this? are we waiting for these planes, the rescue boats and so on, to find these pieces without thos...
