Yet if there's any emergency locator transmissions. the importance of guesting all the radar data immediately and sending the assets to search in the last radar transmission and we do know everything didn't go down at once. first the radar that went off of radar and then the radio went off a minute later and then finally the automatic broadcasting capabilities went down. so it's possible that the plane was in distress, the pilot's reaction to a problem with the plane in bad weather will be looked at and be a significant factor. they have a lot of clues now that they didn't have in 370 and they...

370. but they did indicate that they did have radar tracking. so whether or not they have it at this point the point is to get the information immediately so they do not spend time -- for example, on 370 four days were lost searching in the south china sea, and later the malaysian military indicated that they knew the plane had taken a turn and gone up and around indonesia. so at this point it's important not to have any sort of wild hares, if you will, and look at places it should not be but instead grab everything to try to pinpoint as quickly as possible because without that tracking on the...

Air. the job also, unlike the indian ocean where it is believed to have gone down which is quite isolated. it's an area of such a huge vast area that searchers are trying to find this plane and haven't been successful now for ten months, in this case though, there is a lot more sea traffic. so you're going to see boats that are deployed. you're going to see aircraft. there will be offers of assistance from other countries if it becomes clear that that kind of help is needed. but there are a lot of key differences here, too, victor. they do -- they did have a radar lock on this plane. they have...

Trafficked in terms of a shipping route and is relatively shallow. does that help? >> of course it helps. it's going to help with the -- if indeed tom is correct with the meteorological report about the seas calming down you know if we have an unfortunate situation where the airplane is in fragments, they're going to be able to at least locate those fragments quick erer. the fact it is a smaller area, we also have primary radar data from my understanding. so even if the airplane did potentially break apart or drift out without enough power for it to have a discreet code sent out as through a t...

That saw this event. some initial reports that evening showed some anomalies on one of the radars that was mistaken by someone from the faa as a missile hitting the plane. and later on, it was determined to be some sort of electrical interference that happens all the time. but sure, the radars were critically important. >> the fbi hung on to every bit of the radar data and they tried and tried and tried to connect those dots, if you will, and despite their best efforts, they were not able to prove that was a missile that came up to hit the airplane. >> as time went on and the pieces of the puz...
