the defense and security areas, the satellite coverage for the middle east, we could read the licen license plate on the osama bin laden vehicles. i don t think we would lose it in the middle east. thank you. we appreciate you adding your voices to the conversation. we want to talk about some other stories. john kerry and sergei lavrov are meeting in london today. the secretary of state and russian foreign minister are working to find a solution of this on going crisis over crimea. so far, they have not reached an agreement. you can see the live picture. we are waiting to get these comments from secretary kerry. he is gog speak from london. we will bring that to you as soon as he begins speaking. these discussions are happening as russia is shipping more troops and armor into c
people on twitter throughout the day. so many people are saying with all the satellites up there in the sky in this day and age, where you can locate a lost iphone, how could it be this far into the search and no satellites have spotted this aircraft, particularly fit wif s flying for four to five hours? is there simply not that much satellite coverage over say the indian ocean? it s a horrible situation. because you ve got to believe that maybe someone knows something. given all what you just said, someone must know something that they re not talking about. because it s hard to imagine that that could happen, that a plane could fly so long. but there s still not a shred of evidence that that plane has impacted the water or crash landed any place in that search area. folks like yourself, ocean graphic experts, at this point there s not much you can do in terms of looking for sunken wreckage or debris that s submerged because nobody has any real kind of area to go on. yeah. it s f
up as one blip. but you know, that would take such sophistication, almost take the sophistication of a government to do that and also to beat the radar and landing this airplane, you d immediately have to cover it up before satellite coverage started the next day. you d have to make sure there s no i.r. coverage so they can see it at night. this is just enormously complicated. if this was an individual group like al qaeda, it s a capability i can t imagine that they have obtained. bob baer, thanks very much, tom fuentes, thanks to you as well. we re learning more and more about the data signals that flight 370 sent out for several hours after the plane disappeared. are they significant? our panel of experts getting ready to weigh in on that and other new developments emerging right now. over the next 40 years the united states population
why? because pings were picked up by a satellite. these pings do not indicate exactly the location, the heading, anything else about this particular plane. they just say, i m here. i m here, i m here. it s kind of like if you had xm satellite radio in your car and never subscribed and the satellite knew you existed. that s kind of all that happened. so the question is, as that plane continued to travel and as it gave off a ping, only once an hour, can they use some sort of mathematical calculation involving the arc of the satellite coverage to get a feeling for where the plane might be. at the moment they are going on this particular area in the indian ocean. let s go to the other graphic, the original search zone. this is kuala lumpur. the plane took off from here. the last known contact point off the coast of south vietnam. we re now confident it did indeed turn around. the question becomes why? that s a deliberate act? was this an intentional hijacking? did somebody commandeer a pla
there s been so many conflicting reports over the past six days. do you think these pings that we re learning about today are pointing in the right direction? why are we just getting this information now? i think it s very significant that the navy is moving those assets into the indian ocean. i don t think they would be doing that just by being asked to do by the malaysians but without some kind of sense that it is worth the expense and attrition of moving such incredible equipment out there into what is i don t think this has ever happened before, that searchers had to go out into the big void. this is an area which is not covered by radar. it s not it s very difficult to tell whether there s any satellite coverage of it. there s nothing basically to be watched. satellites can, of course, be moved into position from where they are. they can be moved into a different orbit if there s a
