The defense and security areas, the satellite coverage for the middle east, we could read the licen license plate on the osama bin laden vehicles. i don't think we would lose it in the middle east. >> thank you. we appreciate you adding your voices to the conversation. we want to talk about some other stories. john kerry and sergei lavrov are meeting in london today. the secretary of state and russian foreign minister are working to find a solution of this on going crisis over crimea. so far, they have not reached an agreement. you can see the live picture. we are waiting to get these commen...

People on twitter throughout the day. so many people are saying with all the satellites up there in the sky in this day and age, where you can locate a lost iphone, how could it be this far into the search and no satellites have spotted this aircraft, particularly fit wif s flying for four to five hours? is there simply not that much satellite coverage over say the indian ocean? >> it's a horrible situation. because you've got to believe that maybe someone knows something. given all what you just said, someone must know something that they're not talking about. because it's hard to imagine tha...

Up as one blip. but you know, that would take such sophistication, almost take the sophistication of a government to do that and also to beat the radar and landing this airplane, you'd immediately have to cover it up before satellite coverage started the next day. you'd have to make sure there's no i.r. coverage so they can see it at night. this is just enormously complicated. if this was an individual group like al qaeda, it's a capability i can't imagine that they have obtained. >> bob baer, thanks very much, tom fuentes, thanks to you as well. we're learning more and more about the data sig...

There's been so many conflicting reports over the past six days. do you think these pings that we're learning about today are pointing in the right direction? why are we just getting this information now? >> i think it's very significant that the navy is moving those assets into the indian ocean. i don't think they would be doing that just by being asked to do by the malaysians but without some kind of sense that it is worth the expense and attrition of moving such incredible equipment out there into what is -- i don't think this has ever happened before, that searchers had to go out into the ...
