700 miles northeast closer of the coast of western australia. based on new radar analysis, congressman, theyre finding more debris in the area. although they havent at least so far been able to link it directly to the flight. how confident are you that they are now looking in the right area? >> well, i cant say the right area, because debris moves. and the weight of the impact and the heaviest part of that aircraft probably went down, at least on some angle. the debris field can move. thats what...

Northeast of the previous focus from this week. so why has the search area shifted so dramatically? here to break it down cnn aviation analyst and contributor to slate, jeff wise. good to have you here. lets jump into it. i want to read what they announced about the shift in the plane search focus. based on radar analysis indicating the aircraft was traveling faster than previously estimated resulting in an increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance the aircraft traveled south into ...

Game changer. the reason is that when they say they refined their radar analysis, they determined that plane was likely flying faster, which means it ran out of fuel, which means its in a completely different location than they thought. still shifting much more to the north and east. what does that mean? it does make the search much easier, in the sense it moves it closer to shore. weve been told about the conditions out there, theyre horrific on certain days. but its hard to determine the credi...
