In addition to trying to reacquire these pingers, also get the best measurement of depth there. and i think they'll probably get that using "hms echo." >> go ahead, richard. >> a quick question for you, david, what is the length of the search season, if you like, before the weather turns nasty and they would have to think about postponing for winter, regrouping, if they don't find it, and starting again in the next season. >> but aren't these warmer waters where they are now? do they really have to worry about that in these particular waters? >> these are much better. it's a completely differe...

Caution show cautiously optimistic. the task now the ocean shield is trying to find the signal again and hoping for confirmation. if the ping is detected again crews will launch this underwater drone. at the same time 375 miles away, chinese ships and the british hms echo are trying to confirm pings the chinese briefly detected friday and saturday. australian officials say it's unlikely to be from the same source. >> quite possible for sound to travel great distances laterally but be very difficult to hear. >> reporter: all the activity is happening right along this arc where a partial satelli...

Also in the south of that area, the chinese vessels there accompanied by the hms echo, a british warship, which is designed to map the ocean floor as well, trying to find what is happening there as well. neither site has turned up anything for the past several days. and that's of particular concern. because as you mentioned, time is rung out. the battery life on those pingers is -- the shelf life is come where around 30 days. it's been 33 days now. so the australians who are leading this mission, very aware that this window of opportunity to locate the pingers is closing. it may have already c...

Has now arrive at the spot where the two pulse signals were picked up. on board the hms echo high detection gear. just north, just north-northeast of there, i should say, the australian ship ocean shield is continuing its investigations, trying to figure out the source of a curious, quote, acoustic event. and today another question is emerging. did the plane try to avoid indonesian airspace? a senior malaysian government source has come out with an explosive allegation that flight 370 apparently steered a suspicious course to avoid indonesian radar. and for the latest on the search, i want to ...
