Make a map of the ocean floor to see whats under there. to see if we can find some debris, large or small aircraft debris and hopefully that black box. >> thank you very much. stand by. geoffrey thomas is with us. mary schiavo is an attorney for victims of transportation accidents. ocean explorer, tim taylor. jeff wise. jim tilmon. the batteries may already be dead. do you believe the data recorders will ever be found? >> if the pinger is dead and theres no debris on the surface and were convinc...

Relatively close circle to hear it. if we can now -- we know where to start looking, you can expand the search for the debris field and see whats on the surface. but my big question is where does this data point lay in relation to things that we think we know already, the suspected track of the airplane, any radar skin paints the australian had with the over the horizon radar. if its on that line, i would be optimistic. if its way out of position and i havent had a chance to look at a map yet th...

Carr and richard quest. we continue to follow the breaking news of the chinese ship detecting a pinger signal. we have our panel of experts review as the information continues to stream in. ...return on investment wall isnt a street... isnt the only return im looking forward to... for some, every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and forme...

Reacted. one potential thought of course is they may want to find the box first, and i cant see how they would. i cannot see an argument that would let them, but maybe they would try to claim the investigation. >> we will see sh, and obviousl many steps ahead, but rene, when you look at this, you know, miles did bring it up, you would expect that if this is the pinger that they have located, there must have been some other information. you have followed this from the beginning and the idea of ho...

It will at least be a few more hours before we find out anything for sure. craig? >> katy tur for us in kuala lumpur, thank you. to get a better sense of what this reported ping detected deep below the oceans surface could mean in the search for that missing plane, i want to bring in arnold carr, the president of the american underwater search and survey. hes also a sonar expert. he joins us from monument beach, massachusetts, via skype. arnold, the joint command out of australia released a stat...

And we should continue for at least a reasonable time thereafter. we dont exactly know when the pinger is going to go dead, it could be dead already, it could last another week or two after that. but we would want to deploy submersibles, side scan sonar, et cetera, to find it through submersible methods. but at some point, the u.s. and other nations will put back and leave this uninvolved. >> geoffrey thomas, so far the debris spotted has turned out to be trash. is it time to deploy more assets ...

About these pingers that are in the ocean. this is such a difficult search because you are talking about underwater. we think about ground robots. this is under water. we are dealing with ground robots. they are talking about two dimensions. when you talk about under the water, this is truly a three dimensional search. >> thats right. depending upon, obviously the strength of the battery and age of the black box and pinger, the range is between a half mile all the way up to three miles or perhap...

Chinese nationals, and so it is clear they want to put every effort they can to get some clarity and closure in this, because china obviously has so much vested interest in the search. >> all right. thank you, david mckenzie, and matthew chance, and for a month, it has come down to this. find the pinger and then find the plane. so could the pulses heard by a chinese ship be the real thing? i want to bring in our army captain art wright, and you say that this is probably not the black box, and wh...

Its a u.s. navy hydrophone or underwater microphone called a towed pinger locater. search teams are counting on it to find the pinger mounted directly on the black boxes from flight 370. but time is running out for the pingers battery life. >> what theyre trying to do is get ears in the water while the pinger is still going. >> reporter: this is the sound its listening for. the towed pinger locater, or tpl, is 30 inches long and weighs just 70 pounds. its towed behind the ship that operates it, ...

Turned out to be nothing. >> turned out to be nothing. i think what theyre going to have to do, if this doesnt work and if they dont find that pinger there and cant verify it, theyre going to have to go back to what they do know. we know the malaysian prime minister said there was a criminal act involved. we know that there were of a transponder cut and a radar cut. now, i have found out, and what im leading towards is, i think were going to have to reopen both the northern route sector and the ...
