Undertaking. so, we want to show you this, starting off with the hide row foam. tell us what this does here. >> this is a hide row phone. a simple fied underwater micro phone. were going to dip it over the side and listen for that pinger locator. >> and how wide, how far can it he hear? >> five miles. >> so, this is whats looking for the ping. if it went away, or they found a general search area, they would move to sonar. >> right. and this is sonar. this is going to emit sound. its going to ref...

At the end of its fuel line, its in extremis. thats the point upon which the plane is going down. >> weve got john ostrow on the line now. can you hear me now? >> cane hear you. >> this report about the partial ping. i suppose the key interpretation of this, depending on who you talk to, is does it indicate perhaps more mechanical failure than a more nefarious reason for why the plane went down? >> thats the key to understanding this ping. really what investigators are looking at right now what ...

Worry about it sinking to the bottom. it is going to be attached to a large piece of airplane even in the gooeyest bottom sit on the top awhile and give us a fair chance to find it. >> what about the cockpit voice recorder. >> same location, same rules. >> okay. what about the other nugget, learning about a partial handshake, ping, ping. >> the airplane is going 560 miles per hour. if it narrows it down to an hour, you have it narrowed to a tight area. if it is a ping at impact, we are getting c...

Ping or the handshake that basically connects the aircraft with the satellite but helps investiga investigators trace the path of mh370 that led us to the search in the indian ocean. what we understand there was one final partial ping, which means there was an attempt to connect but it didnt fully connect. what the wall street journal is saying is that this did not, does not mean that this was human intervention. it wasnt someone on board trying to reconnect and switch it back on in an attempt t...

Eight minutes after the last ping, that would be unusual and against pattern. what on board the aircraft could cause that ping eight minutes after the last ping? >> were not really sure, and im not sure about the ping. all these things have come up, we have this partial information, bits and pieces of information. lets say its in that area. again, were not -- i dont think it narrows it down a great deal even if it was. maybe something broke, maybe it wasnt a ping, maybe it was an echo. this whol...

Area thats been the focus of the search effort here so far. they describe them as different sizes. some of them bright meaning they could be solid, maybe possibly metal. meantime, we also have a dozen planes and some maybe possibly five, six ships using the latest intelligence to try and locate the plane. all of the equipment that the is is seconding to help has also arrived here in perth, including technology to help find the data recorder. and investigators are looking into a newly discovered ...

You say the currents work to spread them apart, but can they work to keep them together? >> yes. that can absolutely happen too, on the short term. within the first month or so, its possible they can be funneled into a coherent structure and stay together. the more time passes, the more likely it is theyll all be spread apart. that makes it harder and harder to work backwards to figure out the original location of the crash where the black box is presumably waiting. >> even if those 122 objects ...

Theres a renewed sense of cautious optimism that we could be closer to finding malaysia flight 370. there are satellite images showing 122 objects, possible debris in the same area of the ipd an ocean where the search has been focused since late last week. on this 19th day of searching, a dozen planes and five ships had a narrow window of time to search for the missing jet. they came away with three pieces of debris being spotted. as investigators analyze a partial ping from the plane that came ...

Talked to someone today who does these investigations. this is the greatest mystery ever in aviation history. >> 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 ...

Journal," they said it doesnt look like human intervention. now, the investigators can slowly bring the timeline down. the amount of fuel. when it would have run out. the partial ping. im not qualified, but the investigators can tell us. >> and these are all pieces of the puzzle. to jeffrey thomas now. heres what one of our viewers asked. how come it takes to long to get the pinger there when you can fly there commercially in a day? its going to take about four or five days to reach the search
