Just to go further on something we said yesterday on not this broadcast but an earlier one yesterday, i mentioned the training aspect of this. i also said at the time that i had been told that gru -- >> that's russian. >> were transporting boxes back to russia. i was told just a short while ago, megyn, that one of those black boxes has not yet been found. i can't verify that, but it would mean that perhaps it's the voice cockpit recorder or the data recorder that's got all that information on it. everybody remembers the last malaysian air flight that went down. it had a pinger. that pinger wor...

Bated breath, when those pings were achieved on the very first, when we got the data, it appears it took the southern mark, and it was right, they got the pinning the very first day, people were so excited and then they got three more, but they were too far apart and they were wrong kilohertz, the wrong frequency to this day no one has ever determined if a pinger can degrade. and i think that it threw everyone off and they thought they were on the location. i still think this new data, when you think about how big the earth is, being a couple of miles from where boeing and australians saying i...

You've got to map the ocean floor over this vast area before you can do anything else. you have to map this. there were no maps on this. the second is you have to scan it. the next is you have to find it. and when you found it, you have to lift it up. in the case of air france 447, that was well targeted. it took a little over two years and in this case, i was surprised how few resources were devoted to it in the beginning. one ship and one pinger. >> with air france, isn't it a fair comparison? they did have some debris right at the surface even though it took years to find everything and thi...
