Hopefully it will give investigators some clues as to what happened. the voice data recorder could be key to solving the mystery. even if those black boxes are found they may not answer all the questions. randi kaye looks at some past examples. >> reporter: this is the sound of a pilot in trouble. that was the pilot of swissair flight 111 talking to air traffic control just minutes before he crashed into the atlantic ocean in 1998. everyone on board was killed. when crash investigators found the plane's black boxes at the bottom of the ocean, they were stunned. >> both the recorders stopped re...

That doesn't hold true necessarily as more evidence comes in. for example, they have some idea that if this plane were flying slower or faster, it could shift left or right. what about when it ran out of fuel? they don't know when it ran out of foul. and if this thing is flying 400, 500 miles an hour, very, very far off in terms of that distance. so if the fuel depleted quickly, at the earliest possible point and there was no glide at all, then you push your primary search area way up here. and the rest of it becomes a less important box. but if the opposite is true, if the fuel calculation is...

Clues that we used after that. but having an idea where the last known position is, even if it's fairly sloppy, means that's a great place to start. and i couldn't agree more. i agree with miles completely. we need to be over there. we need to take a closer look at it. but what a great place to start. and the sooner to better to start the underwater search. >> richard? >> because this thinping is proy more significant than the other ones, bearing in mind the time that we know that the plane would have gone down or run out of fuel. this isn't like one of the other pings where you've got an hour...

As the search continues for any wreckage of flight 370, so continues the search for answers. the big question still looming what happened to this plane. the mystery has led to a lot of different avenues for investigators. right now we want to take a close look at the so-called ghost plane theory that everyone on board was perhaps unconscious because of loss of pressurization or smoke from a fire and then the plane continued to fly for hours on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel. that's one scenario investigators are examining. it happens very rarely. it does happen. it has happened. so we're ...
