aircraft was pinging a satellite every hour. which apparently whoever we have at the controls didn t know about, in fact, nobody knew that they continued to do this after a certain system was shut down. they were able to take that satellite data and refine it and get a little bit more information, which apparently gave them a couple plot lines. in fact, we reported this earlier, that went right through this search area. so it allowed us to go from an area the size of texas to half that size. and now we re looking for a da bree in that area chlt if this is what it looks to be, and the australians are a credible source, this could be some really good news. we ll see what they actually have found. we still have a long way to go. there is something good to be had in finally finding the wreckage and hopefully bringing closure to these families. but in terms of solving this mystery, we have a long way to go. and australian authorities say this is the best lead so far, but still it is too
