Some of us say, gosh, so many hundreds of objects and modern technology and ships going through and why has no one been able to pick a piece up and say what it is. >> i love one of the stories and one of the tag lines that chad spoke about earlier, if you think about the sea state and how stormy this area has been and his term, it sticks in my mind. he called it bubble bath. if you think about the foam and the debris and just the way that the waves can be churned up, you know, if you go to the b...

A 47 degree inclination angle, the sun was at the perfect location to shine good, so all of the debris physically displayed perfectly. so now they need to find it and bring it on board and check it out. >> thank goodness for the sun shining down. you see the reflections to get the images. amazing considering how far away the satellite is. leo, we have seen satellite images from china, from france, from australia. are we to believe there are no american satellites over this neck of the woods or p...

With that, that is a challenge. >> reporter: now, try to imagine spotting something smaller among the countless waves and reflectio reflections. keep in mind, this is a calm day off the coast of florida with 20 miles of visibility. the idea of finding a very small object in a big ocean seems almost impossible. remember, in the indian ocean where the search is going on, the seas are much rougher and the winds stronger. oechb though the p-8 is the best they have to offer, success depends on time a...

Reflections of the sun. you think you see something and then it turns out its nothing. plus, debris is not painted orange floating on the surface. this is some sort of debris, if its from the aircraft. its the color of the wings or the fuselage. and so it doesnt really kind of stand out. >> right. >> and so you have to look very closely. and it may be partially under the water. so when you add all of that together, betty, it is a very difficult job to spot the debris, any debris. >> indeed. and ...

Democrat. the main tool? the mismatch in messaging between the people who want people to stay away from the just peeking out of the window of a plane? exchanges and the democrats that >> well, there is a p3 as do the want people to sign up is baffling and monumental. >> when you talk about a difference in spending there but chinese, and they have radar what about messaging sfl? that are giving reflections off its one thing to outspend, its of the water, but they are not another thing to have a b...

Be angular. so im just not sure what this is. i also have heard stories from s.e.a.l.s and others who have been in that area and they say theres lots of garbage and just floating things in that area. one of your earlier guests said that it could be reflections off the water, large clumps of plastic. you know, any number of things that could be doing this. >> a lot of theories floating out there. i just spoke to a former ntsb official who said this whole investigation could have gone differently ...

So that takes us to the last question, which is the notion of location. the location is right. we know that to be true. but you were talking a minute ago there about the idea of whether or not you could be right on top of it and not see it. absolutely you could. think about this, in any body of water when you take an image from right above, you can see down into it a little bit. but if youre at the water level or near it in a plane or a ship, close enough to see a small piece, then you get all s...

The fact that the government is talking about this so seriously and the search teams are going there suggests that there is. the second thing is the size, brooke. this piece is around some 78, 79 feet. the plane itself is 1200 feet back to front. the tail is about 60 feet top to bottom, 200 feet side to side. so, yeah, you can get pieces of it off that big but as you know, brooke, many, many experts are saying, i dont know if they float. but the last one is location and location is the one that ...

Your ears, feels like the families of benghazi, just saying, and were better than that. >> very difficult. eric, your thoughts and reflections when you see something like this, it really tugs at your heart, it does. >> look, obviously the family members are still holding out hope. somewhere in the back of their mind they are hoping that it landed somewhere, probably an unlikely scenario, but what it is doing is when you see the media frenzy going on like that it keeps it on the news, on the fron...

Shop for something that works for me and why cant i buy it cross state lines. >> well pay attention in the interview. i know you leave for ukraine tonight. and it will be interesting to get your reflections. >> and happy to talk to you when we get back. >> cell phone video capturing a emergency as a call comes to get the plane on the fast on the ground. >> well divert the aircraft. well be a ratifying quickly as possiblement >> now we are hearing from the hero who leaped in to action to save a b...
