The military? unfortunately i dont have confidence in the primary radar that exists in that area to wit going back to the 370 loss where they did have an aircraft on the scope but nothing happened. the other thing that i would say, what aim really surprised about, nobody is talking about the emergency transmissions. where is the ping center what happened to the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder sending out a signal? nothing has been said about even remotely that were searching for ...

Electronic communications et cetera. compare this for example to the shoot-down of kal 007, on that flight date ra recorder they could tell it exploded on the tail. first, the plane continued to fly for some time so they knew how the whole sequence went down. there is a mic in front of each pilot and it records what happens in the cockpit. that would record if the pilots hit, what went on, any clicks, anything going on in the cockpit would be recorded. so they might have known what was happen pp...

From the 370. you see the pinger on the one on the right, not the one on the left. they look in good condition. dent look to be opened. electronics and digital and nature of them is such you cant really tamper with the information. you could destroy them in you could open it but you couldnt really tamper with it. >> and the point that mary is making, there is information on there, but not who is on the ground, just what was transpiring. >> thats probably why they dont mind handing them over. itl...

Swollen-up tampon. i dont remember who it was. >> macgyver would be proud. >> the team returned to uc santa barbara the following morning on pins and needles. they had no idea how long the tampon solution would hold or what else would go wrong. >> i was kind of excited to be in the water and actually be competing. >> we had 30 minutes to do the mission. >> to navigate a course that had been built in the ucsb pool. >> down at the bottom, theres a simulating shipwreck and youre supposed to go down...

Of that weapon system. just to go further on something we said yesterday on not this broadcast but an earlier one yesterday, i mentioned the training aspect of this. i also said at the time that i had been told that gru -- >> thats russian. >> were transporting boxes back to russia. i was told just a short while ago, megyn, that one of those black boxes has not yet been found. i cant verify that, but it would mean that perhaps its the voice cockpit recorder or the data recorder thats got all tha...

Bated breath, when those pings were achieved on the very first, when we got the data, it appears it took the southern mark, and it was right, they got the pinning the very first day, people were so excited and then they got three more, but they were too far apart and they were wrong kilohertz, the wrong frequency to this day no one has ever determined if a pinger can degrade. and i think that it threw everyone off and they thought they were on the location. i still think this new data, when you ...

Youve got to map the ocean floor over this vast area before you can do anything else. you have to map this. there were no maps on this. the second is you have to scan it. the next is you have to find it. and when you found it, you have to lift it up. in the case of air france 447, that was well targeted. it took a little over two years and in this case, i was surprised how few resources were devoted to it in the beginning. one ship and one pinger. >> with air france, isnt it a fair comparison? t...

Ships at a spare pinger which i was told was actually put in the water there was a british nuclear submarine which we never heard a lot about after the very beginning, which allegedly could have put out a signal that would have been picked up. >> these are things that could have sent false pings. >> these are some of the technical things you have to look at it with a jaundiced eye. >> and you have. the less at this point it seems youre right. david, you disagree. what about on these technical po...

Had spoken. the family members had spoken with many aviation experts and that they didnt have much credence in those pings. are you one of those aviation experts that feels that way, that there wasnt a lot to be said for these pings, the wrong frequency, et cetera? why was so much put on them if those were not the right -- that wasnt the right intelligence? >> well, and i was one of those people to say why dont we test them? it was amazing to me that we didnt have data that would show what would...
