Strongest ping they detected. what is the latest sign? >> no sign of the plane. at this point it is probably very likely that the bluefin has completed that mission 13 and probably covered 113% of the area. what the -- authorities here are saying now is that they will continue to search the adjacent areas with bluefin to that pinger number one location to see if there is anything they can pick up around it. and then as we understand they will pick everything up and move six miles north at some point. whether they can do that with the bluefin or some other technology that they will have to empl...

Plane's entire electrical system just catastrophically shut down, no radio, no transponders, no pinger, no way to send a stress call, everything electrical was dead. colonel, you're an experienced pilot, you've had things go wrong but does that sound plausible that everything would just stop? >> all the scenarios out there from hijack sabotage and landing in pakistan and iran this is certainly one of the most plausible. there are a number of actions to an electrical bay. when the electric goes out on your airplane you lose all your engines but these guys do four days a year for scenarios like ...
