Plane would have floated up to the surface. what kinds of things would have been released and floated like that? >> the cushions. this is speculation obviously. you have suitcases, you have cushion, small items, parts of the air frame that are going to be lighter or buoyant. if it breaks up and it would not break up very deep, start to break up relatively early in the descent to the bottom, those things will float back up. it's really hard to imagine you would have no debris field. these are unchartered areas, you look at how you lost this plane. not a lot of examples of losing aircraft in thi...

Astounded to read your company may have actually made the pinger that could be in the black boxes we're searching for right now, is that correct? >> well, ashleigh, we make the pinger. we don't know which pingers are on which air frame. we sell them through a distributor o. is so it could be us, it could be another manufacturer in the u.s. >> we're talking about how the time is really running out. i don't need to go any further but that the battery issue with you. i want you to show me the one we may be talking about right now, and compare it to the other example you have with you that could b...

It means to a search party looking for it, it makes all the difference in the world. >> let me ask you this, do you think it's time to rethink the concept of the black box? maybe during the flight, transmit via satellite or radio transition just the basic information about the flight and to store it somewhere on land. >> i think it definitely should happen. i think the challenge, who does it, who pays for it and where is all that data stored? the world would have to get together and come up with something that would allow them to constantly track every movement of an aircraft. >> you know, tho...

Recorder. you can understand the clicks and hums in the flight. changes are coming to the black boxes. next year, there has to be a battery life on the pinger to extend from 30 days to 90 day d. in this case, the searchers would have two months to find the black boxes. and the faa is requiring a stronger beacon to ping at a longer distance to find. one will be attached to the air frame to help find the actual debris. there has been a proposal with the cockpit voice recorder to extend the recordings. right now, it is the last two hours. if the pilots were incapacitated, they would be sile silen...

Has the information that could be key to solving what happened. >> so kit tell you where it went into the water but you're implying due to time, currents, everything else it wouldn't thereabout but give you a point it started here and now the debris field would be somewhere out from there? >> reporter: well the debris field does not have the black boxes. the black boxes are still attached to the aircraft itself. it would have gone down in the water, but because of the depth it would have drifted with currents under water. it wouldn't go straight down. but it would be easier to locate that air ...
