And oceanographer david gallagher and timothy taylor and oceanographer eric van sebil. taylors from the "uss ft. worth" began to search the wreckage site. how does the technology work? >> the sonar -- its side scan sewn sonar that will make a topographical map of the bottom with objects that you can then identify as possible targets and then go down and look at them a little bit closer with the higher frequency. >> david, is this the best technology to use in this particular setting? >> yes, wol...

Was really not ripped apart in the air because things would have been scattered over a much wider area. so it looks from the wreckage and from the pieces of the plane that weve seen that it impacted the water at obviously very high rate of speed, not a water landing, and objects are coming from the fuselage. >> so thomas i guess the search area is now the size of delaware which is pretty sizable but, i dont know in your estimation is that so big that it will take forever to perhaps find the enti...

Washington this morning. thank you. i want to talk more about the search for flight 8501 with former inspector general of the u.s. department of transportation mary schiavo, im also joined by thomas altschuler the vice president of teledine marine system which is helps locate planes. welcome to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. thomas i want to start with you because your company makes an underwater suv that might be used in this search. can you tell us more about that? >> so what w...

Youve been corg this with us over the past few days. lets get first to the headline numerous reports that sonar has detected what is believed to be the poddy of the plane on the bottom, about 100 feet down in the java sea. the ceo of airasia is saying that is not confirmed yet. hes being careful which is smart after the confusion after mh370 and saying we do not have that yet. earlier on the show jeff wigs said if they had a side scan done by sonar it would be very clear and there wouldnt be any...

Original plan was similar to what were seeing now, except we hadnt invented these underwater autonomous vehicles like the bluefin. and the idea was the french had this wonderful deeply towed side scan that was developed mostly for geophysical exploration because bob ballard and his french colleagues were a bunch of geologists, and the idea was the french would map it out and cover a fairly large area. unfortunately for some reason, the story i heard as part of the team, was that they had early i...
