That they re in needs to be redefined of they have to define a new area. so i think right now we give it 50/50 and try to find the main body of wreckage. what do you think about being able to black box, the voice pit, the cockpit voice recorder. do you think there is potential to retrieve those? it all depends on the state of the main body of wreckage. if it s in deep water, if it s in the geography that they ve described, its mountainous and hilly down below the surface, if that aircraft is accessible by rovs there is a probability to get you to the cockpit voice order and/or the flight data recorder. we have to use caution because the cockpit voice recorder overwrites itself every two hours. unless the person who took this airplane to where it is pulled the circuit breaker and captured what happened in the first hour or two of the flight we won t have anything on the vcr. ....
This piece from the rest at wing. whether there s any signs of scorching or fire or explosive residue. there s an awful lot to look at here. the trouble is it s been in the water for at the most up to 17 months. we don t know how long it s been bobbing in the water there off the coast of reunion. i can tell you that they re also going to be looking with marine biologists with the barn knackles on that particular piece to try to get a sense of some barnicles, some sea life maybe more natural and one piece of habitat is on one side of the indian ocean whereas, you know they may have other barnicles that are unique to another side of the indian ocean. there s an awful lot of work to be done here. i can tell you this piece is called a flaperon. it s a wing flap but it s called a flaperon. this particular flap is used for slowing the aircraft down on approach and also used when they are at high altitudes and ....
Consistent. i spoke to the man who is the head of this investigation, the cheer commissioner of australia s transportation safety bureau. here s what he had to say. the drift modeling show that over time the wreckage from any aircraft in the indian ocean would disburse to a whole range of different places depending on the type of debris and travel a long way and most of it would travel west. so no great surprise here that it has been found. the real surprise is it s such a possible range of places for it to wash up. so, martin doleland there, the chief commissioner of this investigation, and what he s basically saying is, if this turns out to be a piece of mh-370 he believes here they re in the right spot. they are continuing that investigation day and night. they have 200 people dedicated to it at all times and what has happened with finding this piece of debris is that it s really giving them a boost because these men and women really want ....
The flight data recorder will give us 25 hours and will capture the event but it won t tell us why the aircraft is where it is. biggest break that any investigator has had again, this piece of wreckage. it s only 6 1/2 by 8 feet. fairly intact. no visible burn mark or signs of impact. but we ll wait to hear more as it gets back to that lab in france. former ntsb investigator. coming up in our next hour we look at the technology involved in hunting for mh-370. thatten garksen en involved in hunting for mh-370. thatten garksen en involved in hunting for mh-370. thatten garksen en involved in hunting for mh-370. thatten garksen en we want to take you back to that dropping storeeveloping story in cincinnati. hamilton county prosecutor s office has just announced it s investigating other officers in the death of samuel dubose. meanwhile, former university of cincinnati police officer ray tensing now faces a $1 million bond after being charged with murder in dubose s death. tensing plead ....
Pilots were not trying to kircarry out a water landing. what can we learn from the fragment when it gets back to that lab in france? this is a tremendous break. it s the biggest break we ve had in 15 17 months. it s going to provide an enormous amount of information. the type of metal that s on an aircraft will bend and creek and deform in very specific configurations depending on what hamsz happens to it. what type of force efbted it. was it an explosion? that will be a particular metal fragment pattern. was it a high impact vertical into the ocean at a very high rate of speed in that will appear in a different way. if the flaps deployed it will show a different pattern than that. so it will give us a lot of information. in addition, they ll do examination which looks for chemical residue on the surface in the interior of that part ....
