Information available. >> to narrow down the search area, what league do you think is most credible aside from finding debris? this question is for. are we looking at other things? >> the question about search, and i think mr. young should answer first. >> i should start by saying that the two primary methods that we have had so far are these analyses, which are about the movements of the aircraft. that is the best information we can have. anything we have about the movements of the aircraft create the greatest degree of confidence. we have had satellite imagery, satellite imagery has been fol...

And the distance to look for possible debris? >> well, it's closer to perth, which means it will take less time to get out there. that area is also a little calmer than where they have been searching previously. but it's a huge area. it's still 155,000 square miles, which is vast. in many respects, it's reading between the lines of that press conference what they were saying. we are back to square one. this is the most credible information that we now have, then it means that everything we have seen so far, those satellite images, the sightings apparent from planes, is somewhat less credible t...

Down off the coast of south america and that ended up out in the middle of the atlantic ocean there, the surface debris was spread out mainly on a trail of three miles, a very limited scope compared to anything we're talking about here, and when they finally went down and did the side scan sonar and found the debris, it would have covered a few football fields, the actual thing you're looking for where the data recorders are and everything else. let me bring it out and thrust it out in the room. we'll drop that down on one of these search areas we're talking about, and look at this. it's not t...

Resolution. it was worth investigating, but i think it spoke volumes that we never actually spotted this stuff from the aircraft. the way the analysis has gone so far just to recap is the satellite pings put us in the southern hemisphere. they should have taken that and overlaid it with the aircraft's endurance based on the radar's last hit. they've just refined that calculation. we're narrowing in using the data we have. now if we can pick up some debris to corroborate it, we'll be in the ballpark. >> let's talk about all the garbage in the ocean. is it likely there's more garbage closer to a...

For debris. this plane did spot some debris. there was a bit of excitement but the plane got very, very close to the ocean. some white debris. an orange rope, a blue bag, but it wasn't significant enough to say it was connected to the plane at all. the ship was dispatched to these coordinates just to make sure. there were a couple of other sightings by two other countries that we heard from the pilot but as far as we can tell, there hasn't been anything that would be unusual that appears to be any debris directly connected to the plane. >> let's back up a little bit. kyung. >> as far as the ar...
