Out, into water, have we lost, or have searchers lost any momentum if indeed it's in the south indian ocean, all the days spent in the south china sea, has that been lost, have we lost any momentum? >> possibly, if you're referring to the search in the local area? >> yes. >> but honestly, it's not terribly surprising -- it's unfortunate, but not terribly surprising that debris or some evidence of a crash, if that's what happened, hasn't been found yet. as just pointed out it's a huge area. and some people have said it looks like trying to find a need until a haystack. that ratio might be wrong...

Now, they are saying they changed their line a little bit. it was deliberately, some would say, trying to evade the radar. trying to confuse people. now, one of the main communications systems, it sends back all the electronic data about the plane, was disabled right after takeoff. it was still flying over the malay peninsula makes its way towards beijing. less than an hour later when the plane moved from malaysian airspace to vietnam airspace, that is when the transponder was turned off and it changed course. we've got a situation here that is rapidly developing more than we've seen in the pa...

Minister says that they want more comprehensive and accurate information. here's what i'm having a difficult time reconciling. the prime minister will not go as far as to say this is a hijacking. however, he has confirmed that it's consistent with someone taking deliberate action on the plane. so whether that is a hijacker who is a passenger, a crew member or the pilot, when you take a plane off its ended course and veer it off to some other country or some other place, isn't that by definition a hijacking? >> well, that's true, but, you know, we're talking about a semantic difference here. yo...

They do give them briefings together. and i think that solidarity is helping them form their own informal support groups. and i certainly do hope that they're putting grief counselors throughout, even though we don't know what's going on, to just allow them to communicate. to just allow them be still if they need to. but to know that someone is there, and some way, some way, trying to keep hope alive until we find out what happens here. >> jeff gardere, great advice. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> that's what we can understand, these people want to be heard. >> yeah, they want to be hea...

Earthquakes and shifts that happen on any given day on the water? >> you know, this is such an incredib incredible thirst for information. a critical need to find out what happened, all sorts of theories are being explored, as each new one comes to hand, people want to follow it to take it to its conclusion. if you look at the overall trend of the information, little by little, the pattern is shifting out towards the west. and if the aircraft is out on that deep water, then certainly, there are assets that can be used to find it. >> ocean search specialist, rob mccallum, thank you for helping ...
