Area with 12 divers. >> those sonar images are not very clear at all. i mean it's very hard to tell. do you think it is jumping to conclusions to say these are most likely part of this aircraft, jeff? >> i have to say yes. that is my reaction. as we were talking about before the break, if a wing came off this plane everything should be pretty closely together. and i didn't see anything that looked like a fuselage a tube cylindrical kind of thing. i didn't see anything that looked like landing gear which is one of the things that really stuck out when they came back with the air france 447. tai...

Week. >> right. where they thought they had found it with sonar and the company said not yet, exactly. >> until we get eyes on it be it a camera or human eyes. i don't want to jump the gun on it. an object that size could be a wing a portion of the fuselage. >> that makes sense for an a-320? >> it does. it does. it makes absolute sense. it might be, you know a larger portion of it, you know the fact that we initially recovered two or three victims right off the bat that seemed to be in proximity to the emergency exit slide and there seems to be a piece today. i noticed in the picture that had ...

Don't have knowledge. >> it did. >> it did, okay. so that is available. in other words, it's a matter of equipping it to make the transmissions. >> should it be mandated jeff? >> well you have to ask yourself, well, in what situation would it be -- provide information that we wouldn't otherwise have. in this case we have all the information that air traffic kroers normally have the plane. the transresponder as les has been talking about. and the question that's been very interesting for me is why did we lose contact with the plane. was it some kind of electron cal failure at altitude or what? ...

Disproven and the families it was heart-wrenching for them. >> but let me say that's part of the investigation process. you follow a lead and it goes nowhere and you start over again. >> true. >> so hopefully this is a piece of the airplane. >> les and jeff stick with us. we'll talk with you a lot more this hour. it's been online all week. we've been reading your questions. you've been tweeting us. please send us your questions about this flight air asia 8501. we'll answer them #8501qs.

Any idea about where the breach was on the fuselage? >> absolutely. i think that would be a reasonable. again we don't want to jump to conclusions but you might expect if the hull fractures at a certain point that people who are sitting close to that event would more likely wind up, you know free. like in the case of air france 447, some bodies floated free. some remained fastened in the seat belts in the structurally complete part of the plane on the seabed. that would be a clue. but, again once you -- if these are big sections of the plane on the seabed and they pulled them out, then you're ...
