Like to know, though, is that 20% area that hasn't been searched yet, i suspect that that aligns -- and i know it does align with the area that's deeper than what the bluefin can handle. so i'm encouraged also to hear that they're bringing in more resources to rule that area out. but at this point, i'm just not as confident as i was before. i can't give you an answer as to why, but it's not feeling right anymore for manager. >> michael, i'll ask you the same question. given the resources that have been devoted to this search operation, they still haven't found anything, not even a small, littl...

Searching here. the underwater six-mile radius zone, considered the most likely area where the plane went down. >> if they were thinking, if you remember, that this was the bullseye that they were going to throw the one dart of the bluefin into the bullseye, i think it's about time to expand that area. >> reporter: crews could finish searching that zone in the next day. if nothing is found, investigators will regroup but it's not necessarily back to square one. >> we only have a specific amount of data, a certain amount of date that that has led us to this part of the world. i think we have to...

Are asking, and they are also concerned about their image in the world. >> peter, there's a lot of folks now who are saying the whole search right now is focusing on this relatively small area based on the pings that came from one of the so-called black boxes which are really orange, as we all know by now. a six-minute, a five-minute ping and plus the inmarsat hand shakes, if you will, showing where the plane could have gone. but what if one of those assumptions prove out to be faulty, the pings weren't really pings, the happened handshakes weren't really handshakes? >> well, if there's nothin...
