Rovs ready to assist, if asked. gary tuchman, cnn, los angeles. lets turn back to richard quest and david gallo, we should point out for full disclosure, the remus 6,000, that is where gary was, besides that, what other vehicles do you think at this search phase would work in a search like this? and was the bluefin-21 not the right o-- >> no, no, i think bluefin was, in fact, you remember the idea that was -- what captain matthews called was a tactical survey, the pinger, that got the job done...

It. >> i know some family members believe that the plane landed somewhere, maybe in afghanistan or china. but those opinions are mostly discounted by others who are more concentrated on details, questions, those 26 specific questions. where do you lie? what do you think happened? >> yeah, those 26 questions, we had sent to the authorities. none of the questions have been answered so far. and, if they are searching in the south indian sea, we dont know based on what data they have. >> it is the p...

Of under water if the wings were able to stay on the aircraft when it went under water, the aircraft could be literally tens of miles away from where the pinger is located. so the concern of mines that they abandon this small area and then go to this big huge area and they miss the opportunity to stay within that and just simply increase the radius around where the pingers were located. because im confident that is where the plane is. >> a little different dynamics, but point taken. mary, day 45...

Pinger is located. so the concern of mines that they abandon this small area and then go to this big huge area and they miss the opportunity to stay within that and just simply increase the radius around where the pingers were located. because im confident that is where the plane is. >> a little different dynamics, but point taken. mary, day 45 at least with u.s. lawyers that is a grim benchmark to when they can approach victims families. what do you think about their prospects now. >> well, yea...

See how far it travels and how far they must expand the search. there are a lot of things they can do, not just refining the inmarsat data but expanding their knowledge of pingers in this part of the ocean. >> the australian chief said he expects ongoing data analysis by a team in kuala lumpur to result in further refinement of the search area within the next couple of weeks. how much more refined can they get? >> you know, i really dont see they could get much more refined. remember, the ocean ...

We have completely lost sight of the northern arc. once the malaysian prime minister made the famous 10:00 p.m. announcement that they determined it was the south, we really stopped looking at the north all together. i heard that malaysia had asked kazakhstan if they could set up a search facility up there. i havent heard back about it. so, great question. >> mary, question from dale. it says why not drop pinger in area to calibrate detected pings. we know the ocean can play tricks on sounds. sh...

There, from what i do know i would have a hard time giving up without more harder look at what they may or may not have missed or should they make this bulls eye bigger. >> mary, to that point, if the satellite data is accurate and richards data indicates it is and the pings were from the black boxes, the searchers are presumably close. >> they are certainly close. we have heard a lot of interesting things about the ocean and the sounds in the ocean and the effects of pingers, et cetera. theres ...

From april 9th it seems so long ago. it is just a matter of finding it, right? >> it does, sarah was talking earlier about no credible evidence and they have been lied to. and i certainly appreciate her sentiment at that. the one thing that im hanging onto and im confident about is those pings came from a pinger, i dont see any other thing that this could be. it has not been disputed logically by anyone else to me. i believe theyre in the right area. there are things that bother me about the fac...

Possibility of the pinger signals from the two so-called black boxes being 17 miles apart if it landed in tact. >> if it landed in tact then the boxes would be in tacts. >> there are four pinger detections 17 miles apart some of them. >> normally wouldnt expect them to be that physically far apart on the bottom. they should be, you know, maybe a mile or two is one thing, but 17 miles is is a different manner. >> its a whole different world. >> thanks very much kevin and tom. good analysis. thats...

>> i just dont know how you give up in this area if theyre so sure of these pings. i am just not sure if they walked away from this and steam ahead of this, and this arc, i think this area -- not knowing exactly what went on from there just from what i do know i have a hard time giving up on this area without looking at a harder area, of what they may or may not have missed. should they make this bulls eye better? >> if the satellite data is accurate, and the pings were in fact from those black ...
