Now, then you're into a very different scenario. i'm not saying that's what happened, but the lack of debris on the surface either means they are completely in the wrong area or the plane entered the water and remained substantially intact. >> if that happened, van, if there's a plane at the bottom 20,000 feet under sea level, let's say right now, how difficult would it be to find? that's a pretty big object. >> it is a big object and the types of equipment they're bringing into the area can do that. but it will be much slower than even the things we've seen so far. again, this is talking abou...

Coming from angus houston, that happening sometime on friday. cnn has also learned that "ocean shield," the australian ship equipped with high-tech tools from the u.s. navy will be arriving into the search zone overnight. presumably it will be in place ready to detect the two high-tech tools that can scan the ocean floor. we're going to have a lot of technology arriving at the search area on friday. not only "ocean shield" and "echo," but all of these tools in place to help solve the disappearance. so far, we've been following this case for weeks, promising leads have been turned out to be not...
