Ernie. he seems skeptical. is this really the break they've been waiting for? joining us, jonathan gillian, former navy seal, former federal air marshal. are you, too, jonathan, a bit skeptical of this report? >> i think if this actually pans out, this is going to be about the equivalent of a hail mary pass into a football game. i think that it's a promising lead, but it's just another lead none the less. when you don't have enough assets out there to repeat whatever technique you're using, it causes a lot of these issues. >> those assets, as many as they seem to be, really pale in comparison ...

>> four weeks after malaysian flight 370 disappeared, the surface below surface. the pinger locator trying to detect sounds from up to two nautical miles away, around the clock with no break. >> this is assuming the beacons are still emitting a signal at all. the batteries could be dead or it could be malfunctioning. there is also dating in the search an underwater robot ready to search the seabed for wreckage if the ping locator picks up a signal. there is a chance they could be looking in the wrong area. searchers are making educated guesses. >> we have not searched everywhere where the airc...

Motive? hello, there, everyone. i'm john berman. i am michaela pereira. it is 11:00 out east and 8:00 a.m. where you are. >> i am already in trouble. we are four weeks in after malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared. the search turns in another direction, below the surface. crews have dropped a pinger locator in the water. it is trying to pick up the chirps from the missing jet's flight data recorders. it canic p up sound from two nautical miles away. even if the boxes are 20,000 feet under the water. the technology should detect the pings. >> this, of course, all assuming tho tha tho th...
