Confirm that the signals are from the missing plane. Okay. At about the same time that the pings were detected, a search crew in the air says they flew over some white objects floating in the area, and reported pipgs and the newfound debris are adding cautious new energy to the frustrating search that has lasted nearly a month. Military and civilian airplanes, 13 in all crisscrossed the area, and some of them ships with hightech scanners worked on the ocean surface. And this is all being run out of perth, australia, and that is where our Senior Correspondent Matthew Chance is with us, and in b...

Built for business. welcome back, and so if the pulse signal does belong to malaysian 370, and if it is the plane's, what course did the airliner take beforehand? we go the cnn's martin savidge and mitchell quesada in the flight simulator, and what were you able to find out, martin? >> well, it fits into at least what have been reported as the southern arc, and that is of course, the information that we have known for a couple of weeks, which are the pings that came every hour from reportedly flight 370, and through some very apparently extrapolated math, they were able to determine a possib...
