Weeks to two months. >> and somebody used the analogy, if father's and mother's out there remember ultrasound, a doctor tells you ate foot or whatever, when they get the data of the bottom of the sea floor, how long will it take to interpret that cincinnati not as clear cut as a photograph of a plane down in the silt, i'm sure. >> reporter: yeah. i've heard that same analogy a bit like an ultrasound being taken. i want does give a pretty detailed sort of image of the ocean floor. it sends out what's called side scan sonar and picks up really in effect a 3-d image of the ocean floor. what it do...

Flight simulator. the idea that the flight could have descended to anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 feet for some 120 nautical miles, what happens when a 777 is flying at that altitude. >> yeah, i'll point out we're both part of that skeptic parade you're talking about. we're at 7,000 feet, we could never take you in enough time down from 35,000 feet to 4,000ment a4,000. and it is daylight, you might have noticed. we did it for the purpose of demonstration so you could see it a lot better. but when you take the plane down, this is the simulator, in the strait of malacca, testing the speed and dist...

Picture of what that airplane was doing. when it was doing. it. >> reporter: if debris is salvaged, more clues for the u.s. to follow. if part of the frame is bent outwards, it could indicate an explosion. if investigators find a punched in nose cone, an indication the plane hit the water nose first. but still the question -- what brought the plane down, and if it was a deliberate act, what was the motive. there's been no motive found by the cia. fbi experts found no evidence of wrongdoing on the pilot and first officer's computers. malasian sources say the plane may have deliberately dropped ...

Missing jet pilot just spoke to the press. he told he's been ignoring all the speculation about his father and doesn't believe he could be responsible for the plane's disappearance. all right. eric. we expect the son to say that, right? >> yeah, and, again, it's really hard to continue to talk about this and speculate, because when you're speculating about whether or not the pilot had issues, link to terror or mental issues that might have brought the plane down, this man is still innocent. i mean, as far as -- there's absolutely no evidence that says he's done anything other than being a vict...

Men are. >> where is this investigation headed based on your opinion, michael? >> just back to the point you were talking about before about this being the pilot who brought it down. if it was the pilot who brought it down, why did he take it in a different direction? why didn't he just take the plane down on the path it was headed on? that's what i don't understand. that doesn't add up. i think in the previous cases in which the pilot took the plane down, they did it on the path that the plane was on. but instead here we're looking off the coast of australia. >> and we think based on the late...
