And he said, if they do that, and this is the wording he used, because its really telling, he said, it would take many, many days if they have to scan the bottom of the ocean. and when he was asked again, he said, a long, long time. so i think what we are in at the moment now, its very clear what were in, several more days of "ocean shield" trying to find, using the pinger. >> can i jump in here too? because, also, there were questions about, remember the 32 kilohertz, he said air france came in...

You would have, had you found an actual pinger. >> but you heard angus houston if that news conference saying that they need to minimize ship noise. listen, they need the "ocean shield," a very big ship. they need the other ship, i cant remember the name of it, the chinese ship. and how can they do that without having the ship? they turn the motors off, but they need to have the electrical power in order to have it run. >> well, they can put the ship into different positions and turn off everyth...
