That is not its job. our job is terrorism. and missile defense and that kind of thing. i spoke with commander william marx about today's search effort. >> as they do every day, they do see some form of debris on the water but typically that's trash or seaweed. they've even seen dolphins splashing around. nothing from today's search so, no conclusions or debris from a wreckage. and what's important to realize is all the satellite imagery is helpful but really that is not enough to get us concrete evidence of debris where our oceanographers can then do a reverse plot, reverse engineer to curre...

The area where we do find debris, it will be a little easier to reverse-engineer where they came from. because this part of the ocean isn't as violent as further south in the old search area. so oceanographers will have a better idea of how to really reverse engineer all of the currents and probably get us into a pretty good area where we may find the main debris field. but again, that's a big if, as you said, you know. we have to find at least a tell-tale sign of this airplane first. >> absolutely. and again, if we were able to do that by finding debris or at least parts of the plane, what wo...

>> there were a couple of points that come to my mind. first, it looks to me to be closer, a lot closer for the aircraft, so instead of traveling 13, 1400 miles just to get three hours search time, they should get a little more search time. that's how it looks from my initial indication. the second thing is, our oce oceanographers now have to remap the estimate of how the winds and currents and seas may have affected the debris, and reverse engineer wherever we find the debris to the area we think the plane may have crashed. we work very closely with oceanagraphic experts. what we do is we're ...

We'll get some better weather. the imaging capabilities today in our calendar day were not good. yesterday they were very good. so, we're getting more and more data that can now be searched through and it looks like based on the meteor logical forecast we just saw that i think today imaging time will be good, as well. >> this is an if, too, but if you say you find this and it's debris, richard, but has moved a long way. now, this is why that half ping was so important. perhaps that half ping indicated where exactly if there is a big piece of the jet it is which is far away from the stuff on th...

The search area. what they must do now is reverse engineer where this debris, if it turns out to be the right thing, where it was a couple of weeks ago because we have to look at drift patterns. what they're looking for is a clue whether or not this plane had shifted to the left or to the right because if you look at the target zones for where it would have hit, some search areas are more likely than others. we made them red here. if it ran out of fuel early, if it depleted all of its area early, we're talking about the main location for the bulk of things that would have sunk at the top end o...
