Those were two encouraging signs, and i think, you know, not being able to reacquire it, its just part of whats out there. i think just acquiring it in the first place, if it indeed was the black box, was an amazing stretch just to acquire it in the first place, so it is somewhat discouraging, but its kind of a long shot just to begin with. >> so, commander, what happens at this point, if it is not reacquired, that signal, are you confident enough with what you heard the first time to, you know,...

New zealand was going looking in the area of the chinese detections. >> wing commander royal new zealand air force. commander, thanks very much for joining us. >> youre welcome. still ahead, flight 370 families mark one month since their loved ones vanished along with the plane. theyll wonder if theyll ever have closure. were going to show you the kinds of equipment now being used to find those two black boxes. are some more reliable than others? ahhh. beautiful day in baltimore where most peo...

Signals they think could be from the passenger jet, but as william marks told me earlier, at least from his point of view, optimism is fading as to their ability to reacquire the signal. heres the thing, anderson just mentioned this, theres a new flight path that came out, when we try to find out the motive of what happened here, or if it was mechanical, what possibly could have caused this. heres what we know about the flight path, there was a diversion to avoid radar detection, again, that imp...

Chinese were searching in these areas? >> thats the million dollar question. its quite a coincident that even though the search area has been narrowed down quite a bit that they should be somewhere close enough to detect the pings. and this expert said we dont know all that is going on among the u.s. and chinese and malaysians. there certainly could be communications that we dont know about. what this man said to me is that its, quote, quite inconceivable that this ship should be deployed and sh...

Very, very high-tech equipment here. and also, we cant discount the fact that they heard this sound for a two-hour block. thats a long period of time. what the chinese were talking about, 90 seconds. the manufacturer, himself, said if this pinger is working, its continuously pinging. its not going to ping for two seconds and then stop. so thats probably why theyre weighing more heavily on what the ocean shield is. >> the chinese detection capabilities were minuscule compared to what the u.s. has...

Force as air chief angus houston, well, he says until they have evidence, they cannot be sure that it is a plane. take a listen. >> i need to be honest with you. it could take some days before the information is available to establish whether these detections can be confirmed as being from mh 370. in very deep oceanic water, nothing happens fast. >> and when he says deep in the water, he means really deep, 2.8 miles, almost 3 miles into the water. a u.s. underwater drone, the bluefin is now bein...

He opposes the bill, because it doesnt create more private sector jobs. well stay on top of that important story. were also following all the breaking developments in the mystery of flight 370. crews are now searching the waters off australia around the clock. they are trying to relocate electronic pings consistent with signals from a jets black box. a commander tells me the u.s. navy remains cautiously optimistic about this lead, but the caution is increasing every hour that they dont hear th...

>> william took his first steps on that trip all those years ago george is crawling at this point. >> we are not going to have that type of moment. the rug out lawn. that is just not arranged this time. william is aware of the fact that this is a historic visit. he wants to do it the same way, he does not want to reflect just what his parent s did. theres less access, they are more careful of how to present prince george to the world. theres a republican movement in this area of the world. duche...

Marks is going to join us live. he its one thing if malaysia says they are optimistic and then australia and when the u.s. navy says that they are cautiously optimistic that they have located the two black boxes and they have said that, well get the latest from commander marks. coming up, its been an agonizing month in limbo for the families on board flight 370. how they are reacting to these new signals coming up next. when folks in the lower 48 think about what they get from alaska, they thi...

Very much, live from perth. joining me now on the phone, navy commander william marks of the u.s. seventh fleet, hes onboard the u.s.s. blue ridge, leading the search for flight 370. thanks for taking the time. at this point, you havent reconfirmed the pings from the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder, right? >> thats correct. we have not yet been able to reacquire this signal, and as encouraged we were about two days ago when we first got the detection, as the hours pass, we are -...
