It's not just the pings. it's also the inmarsat satellite data. it's the radar data. and it's the pings. three separate analyses which all coalesced in this particular area. the way i look at it is the pings are a microscope that give us a more probable location for the airplane. but even the pings define a large area which has to be surveyed with sonar. so i believe that they're looking in the right place. i would not be surprised if they found the record soon. if they don't, they're going to regroup. not start from the beginning, and move on to the next area. >> now richard, on this issue of...

And mary, you kind of don't want to think of this possibility, but we have to, behind the scene, do you think that investigators are prepared for the worst? for this possibility that we will never find out what happened to flight 370? >> well, i think the leadership probably is. the people out in the field searching the ocean and running the blue fin are focused on that mission. and that requires them to search those areas very thoroughly. but i'm sure angus houston and the malaysian officials are planning what the next step, or what their plan b will be, buz if this does, if these particular ...

That doesn't make sense to us. >> and watching these press conferences as well to see what angus houston has to say. we get the most information from angus houston. >> yeah, it seems to be, very much so. >> are we beingmalaysia and the that they're doing here. . >> well, i would like to say yes, but not really. i mean, so very important. even simple things. you would expect a simple answer. the thing that's quite irritate to me is the business with the malaysian radar. where were the military and zilian air traffic controllers. why did it take so long to relay the information? and first they t...
