Airplane is in that vicinity. until we actually get a vessel to pick up some of these debrises and have a look at what they really are, we wont know for certain. its beginning to look probable theyre looking in the right place. >> do you make anything of the enough partial ping that may have been received? i mean, does that meaningfully change this investigation one way or the other in your opinion? >> no, i really dont think it does. the inmarsat satellite communication is something that is bli...

Be there. would one of our detector airplanes beç able to hear the ping? >> i cant speak to if the aircraft would be able to hear it or not. the way ive utilized before is this side scan sonar deployed under the water, that will be able to hear it. but it need to be in fairly close proximity of the acoustic beacon to be able to hear and hone in on it. and theyll do another grid search just under water at that point to search for that signal. >> matt, i know its a leap because what you pointed ...

The box then communicates to a ground station via a satellite and says, ive got some information for you, are you ready to receive it on the ground? the ground then communicates back to the airplane saying, yes, so they handshake and then once that handshake is made, then theres a burst of data. its all of the data that was in the repository about the health of the airplane. what has happened is the flight crew has actually turned off the data portion. so even though the information was collecte...

Claimed their cell phones were still ringing. the ringing means the network is searching for the device, not necessarily that the call is getting flew, sean. >> a quick question or two. there was a 90 minute period that the plane was just kind of missing and all of a sudden it didnt show up in chinese airspace. do you have an update on that, was the transponder turned off? where is the black box ping and do we have any update on the iranian involved in this, that paid for the other two passenger...

Passively by just listening up to 1 to 2 miles away. the active component of this detection system is submersible. unmanned submersible sonar sends acoustic signals out and can map a wreckage field if they come across it. >> to break it down further, one is ears, listening for the ping and the others is eyes looking for something at the bottom? >> correct. >> all right. now, i guess the task is quite daunting. these numbers, this area is huge. do we only have one of each or because we are runnin...

Grayer/green circular object. its the best lead theyve had. nbcs tom costello, whos been following this story for us since the beginning, joins us now with more on the search. and tom, did it come down to that satellite analysis? >> yeah, mrsat, which was receiving those pings, you recall, off the acars system to a satellite 22,000 miles or so up in orbit, tried to refine that data even more. they had already suggested somehow this plane may have taken a southerly arc, you may recall, so they we...

Six times the size of the state. molly is following this story. >> not only do investigators not know where the plane went, they say it could have been flying forbe nearly seven hours after its last contact with ground control. let me show you the time line. . they say there was a ping between 11:18 a.m. so it appears the plane had been flying for hours. during that time, there is data showing various clang in altitude which lead some aviation experts to this conclusion. >> those erratic altitud...
