Ship. how long do you think that might take? >> it depends entirely on how further away. if the ships were in the southern section of the search area, it could take them 12 to 24 hours to get there. and in that time, the data could have stopped transmitting. you got to bear in mind, 37.5 kill ahertz, its a fairly common pinger used in the ocean. so its not unique. it could be a variety of things with the signal, id really like to see, as i said earlier, weve had a lot of red herrings, hype hyper...

Thats 30 days is advertised for the underwater locater beacon to keep transmitting. usually youll get extra days, so i fully expect that to last a few extra days. once you locate that, then you have to get a ship over there to actually put a uuv or underwater unmanned underwater vehicle, to actually go town and they have cameras and able to identify any aircraft wreckage down there. >> you continue. >> if that pinger is truly from the malaysian 777 and then wherever the pinger is, thats where yo...

Underwater, theres a channel from 2,000 to 4,000 feet that allows sound to travel great distances. it has a ricochet effect. maybe theyre using this acoustic sound to get down to that depth to see if they can hear that beacon. no one has talked about this, but its called the deep sound channel. i think thats extremely interesting that -- maybe theyre hoping against hope that they can extend the range of this pinger if its actually there. >> what are you writing, richard? >> i was just writing ve...

Ive used locaters before and they can be very effective. i can put a diver right on top, standing on top of a recorder of a black box. weve done it before. but in this case, there could be interfering signals coming out. doesnt have to be exactly the same frequency as the pinger, 37.5 kilohertz. but if there were 50 or 100 kilohertz, thats a frequency these used on sound gear looking at depth under the vessel. i wonder if that might be interfering with looking at this signal and determining it. ...

Shallow waters off new york. investigators used one in 2009 when air france flight 447 went down in the atlantic but found nothing. if they have any luck locating the pinger from flight 370, next theyll deploy this autonomous underwater vehicle. it maps the ocean floor. >> it will start running patterns back and forth, shooting sound out the side and taking pictures. it will show objects, shiny objects basically, bright objects that could be the plane. >> reporter: right now, thats the perfect s...

Maybe theyre using this acoustic sound to get down to that depth to see if they can hear that beacon. no one has talked about this, but its called the deep sound channel. i think thats extremely interesting that -- maybe theyre hoping against hope that they can extend the range of this pinger if its actually there. >> what are you writing, richard? >> i was just writing very interesting, the level which the pinger is going down, i believe reading about it this morning, is about 3,000 feet. thats...

Through chinese media, because they have a very important group here being the loved ones of the families on board, and once that information, they want it. so they are effectively speaking to the audience, brianna. >> yes, so many ups and downs they have been through. and matthew, and david, thank you very much. we appreciate it. for a month now, it has come down to this, find the pinger, and find the plane. so can these pulses heard by the chinese ship be the real thing? let me bring in jeff w...

And i think thats good investigation. but you know, as were talking about the pinger tonight, we had a little bit of a wake-up call with that as well. a lot of discussion, how long will it last, as youve been reporting. we know were very close to the end. what kind of shape are the batteries in. the crowe eo of malaysia airlin addressed that. regular schedule of maintenance. listen to what he had to say. >> and as far as the battery, what is reported, we have -- we confirmed theres a maintenance...

All. theres some question as to whether the batteries were properly serviced. you need to be in very close proximity. so at the depth where presumably this plane might lie in the indian ocean, that wouldnt seem to be the most effective means of finding it. >> i would think not. usually the process goes first stage is use the radar and gps data off the plane if you have it. and also look for debris, which they are doing. and then you hind cast on the debris. then you go into phase two which you m...

Releasing their information as they get it. again, theres a healthy level of skepticism. lets bring in our panel. weve got no fewer than eight experts and reporters joining us in front of cameraing and over the phone following this mystery from march 8th when it began. i want to go to professor first about not only the report from xinhua that this pulse signal has been detected but now that these photographs have been taken of objects floating in the water. we are almost 12 hours from the time a...
