Is Debris News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Impacted the water or where they expect the debris to be? >> the release i saw is debris. >> the australian transport safety bureau has examined this advice from the international group and determined that this is the most credible lead to where the debris may be located. >> david gallo, to me that reads is whatever that debris was that they were looking at 680 miles away, they don't really think that's credible anymore. >> yeah. that's right. i guess just from a level of frustration, and again from the outside, we don't have all the facts, but to me it's not a game changer, it's a reset. it l...

Australian officials on tonight's breaking news, the search area has been shifted. that's the polite way to say it. the old search area we've been following for the past week, that's been abandoned. they're not searching there anymore. they've moved about 680 miles to the north because of assessments of flight 370's flight path have been refined in their words. you heard there from australian maritime safety officials. they were asked has it been a waste of time? the response was, it was the information we had at the time. richard quest, all that satellite data which we just showed, they don't...

Basically saying no, it's not relevant anymore. what i'm confused about tonight, amongst other things, the debris -- the new search area, we had assumed before the news conversation that this was the debris field allowing for drift of 20 days. but he said in that press conference that this was the crash point. >> i believe what he said was -- he indicated they were both. which either he misspoke or the only other interpretation is he believes the debris, given the currents hire, which are not as strong as in this other area, are closer to the crash point. >> i'm sorry, but it's only 700 miles ...
