Pingers, those p-3s are still pretty good. finding the black box. why malaysian officials say they may not be able to find it before it goes silent. plus, the indian oceans are the deepest, darkest oceans on earth. what crews will use to scour the floor of the ocean to search for clues. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news.

Rest because they can't go immediately back up. what i am yesterday to determine is where the p 3s are staggering. i'm still trying to figure that out. it would make logical sense, especially since they can see with their advanced gear about 10,000 square miles. then they have a target area of where they believe this suspect debris is. so it's not as if they're now trying to focus on, as they were, an area that was 120,000 square miles. now they're working an area which is slightly south of that 120,000 square mile box that the national transportation safety board had laid out as a possible pl...

Here, everybody's playing a role. and according to those officials that i've spoken to from the u.s. navy, it's remarkable at how well everybody is working together. for instance, the u.s. navy has dispatched p-3 and p-8 anti-sub ra me submarine aircraft out of okinawa. and they're going to kuala lumpur. the range is 1,000 miles. but they can search 10,000 square miles on each mission. they're flying as many hours as they can get up and sort of -- because they haven't found anything, what they're doing is eliminating areas where they have not found anything. by the same token, the japanese hav...
