jacuzzi. they still may have a very hard time trying to trace backward how are the winds on each day in the eight, nine days that have passed how have they changed? where were they? what was the direction, velocity? it makes it very difficult. if you lose your aerial capability that s a huge piece to lose. are you surprised, david soucie that there hasn t been more wreckage found floating or even some that may have washed ashore at this point? i would expect some to be washing ashore at this point. but with the weather as bad as it is i don t know if they can people that can get out there to look at the shore from the outside. i m not that surprised by now just because of the lack of access. david gallo, when you have sonar detection of something that searchers want to check out or a device really detects anything under water, what are the next steps from there? sonar intimates with sound. and it takes talent to be able
shield, the american provided blue fin 21. the narrower the search field the easier it s going to be for them to be able to gounds nooet the water and find the actual wreckage. very promising developments here in australia. but again, they re still while they re saying they re promising signals they do still need to determine whether or not these are, in fact, from the missing plane. kate? let s dig deeper on this latest news just coming in with mary schiavo and attorney who represents victims and families after airplane disasters. and david gallo, co-leader in the search for air france 447 and director of special projects. good morning to both of you. mary, let me get your take real quick on what erin was just reporting. i hope you were able to hear her. right. i believe this was the first time we ve had a sonar detection, acoustic detection from one of the planes from the
as i understand it coming up on the screen. but the fact is they re going to need to get the right technology there. they ve got two pinger identifiers plus we have the sub out there which may be the best because of its acoustic sensing. so they can send all these over there plus the british ship, the k echo that s got sonar detection and look in this area and they could even send a deep dive, but it wasn t coordinated this way, so now we ve got our hopes rising up to a peak, and we don t really know what we ve got yet. we don t even have the australians commenting on this either and confirming this. well, air chief marshall houston came out and said, well, we ve had a cut that we re going to look at and investigate, but no confirmation. right. and that could, i think, create more disruption between the search. this is a very difficult search, and the malaysian government, the chinese government, i think
blackhawks and the chinook bs. facial recognition, anything on the ground? yes, certainly this is going to be a high-tech super bowl like some of the super bowls before it. the helicopters will have infrared and night vision capabilities. we re told there will be boats patrolling on the water near the stadium. they will have sonar detection on them and on the ground radiological detection equipment. that s the technological side. we also need to talk about the manpower. there will be some 4,000 law enforcement and security officers who will be working on game day to keep that big game safe. yeah. high risk, high reward. doing everything to make sure that they get the reward. alexandra, thank you so much. so get ready for more snow. i don t know if you want it but it s coming. the midwest is bracing for another round of winter weather. yeah. and thinking about friends of chicago, even my mother-in-law who is probably complaining right now. live picture of chicago, a storm warnin
