The problem right now is the sound propagates through the ocean so they dont have any real knowledge about where exactly that is. as you look at the time and difficulty of putting the blue fin 21 down the water, you want a very good understanding of where that ping would be. >> lets just go on the second detection that lasted only 13 or so minutes. then there was this double ping going on, which many people say is terrific, because theres two, two boxes that were looking for, flight data and coc...

Rep rate. so thats already going in our face. they also heard two of them. there l two pinger, out there. one for the cockpit voice recorder. so thats good. they listened to one of them for more than an hour, which is really great -- >> two, two hours. >> -- so theyre not just jumping to conclusions, they must be fairly strongly certain this is the black boxes. >> two hours, the remarkable nature of this is not only did they have the two hours of straight listening but when they turned the ship ...

Very, very high-tech equipment here. and also, we cant discount the fact that they heard this sound for a two-hour block. thats a long period of time. what the chinese were talking about, 90 seconds. the manufacturer, himself, said if this pinger is working, its continuously pinging. its not going to ping for two seconds and then stop. so thats probably why theyre weighing more heavily on what the ocean shield is. >> the chinese detection capabilities were minuscule compared to what the u.s. has...

They may have located those two black boxes. matthew, thank you. american military, proving to be crucial for the underwater search for the plane. lets go to our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. how confident is the navy this, in fact, could be pingers coming from those two black boxes? >> well, wolf, as we have been saying, optimistic, encouraged, but nothing definitive yet. crucially, thats what the technology must demonstrate. something definitive. what we are talking about, wolf, and we...

Of this. a lot of people saying, wouldnt there be debris? maybe not. up ahead, signals detected by the australian vessel and u.s. pinger locator seem to be the most promising lead yet. question was, did they hear dolphins? and why did flight 370 steer clear of indonesian air space? is there now any scenario that explains this flight that did not involve an intentional human act? ameriprise asked people a simple question: can you keep your lifestyle in retirement? i dont want to think about t...

They had received signals from the pinger for two hours, 20 minutes and then after they had gone further, made a turn and come back, they located more pinger activity for about 13 minutes, but i asked the gentleman, was the signal identical? and he said no, it was slightly different. which means that hopefully, both of the pingers, one from the cockpit voice recorder and one from the data reporter are both from the same area, emitting signals that happened to be very slightly different but ident...

Boxes from the malaysian airlines plane. interestingly they were heard outside the search zone. another acoustic event was also detected by the australian ship ocean shield about 300 miles away. so i go now to my panel. paul ginsburg is an audio expert. and then paul, what are the words acoustic event mean to you? >> i was wondering why they use that term. i assume it means they werent sure. that there was something that could or could not have been the pinger. it may have been distorted as othe...

Image the area from where the ping came from and see, if they look for some sort of geometric wreckage, something that doesnt look natural, doesnt look like a rock, doesnt look like the ocean bottom or sand. theyll do that first. if they find interesting looking targets, theyll send something down to visually take a picture of it. this could take days to weeks, or longer even. >> yeah. officials say the pings that the u.s. navy detected thanks to that sophisticated towed pinger locator that it w...
