Phil nuytten. he is going to try to take what we have as a mock-up of the black box, and you already have it in a claw. that in itself takes about ten minutes. yes, it does. it takes a lot of very delicate finessing to get it in there. and that can only be done down here close up. we re only about two feet away from the box that is right in front of us. if you could, show us how that arm would put into it the carry box. because you can t carry to it the surface like that. no, that s right. you want to be able to put it in the box and hold it there with the arm. let s go. okay. now, the point here is everything down here moves very, very slowly. if you move to fast, you can stir up the sediment. and that s like sneezing into a handful of flour. you will be absolutely blinded for a while. you would have to wait for that to settle again before you could ....

Crucial to point out using something like this with the great depth and visibility issues they will have not to mention the incredibly cramped conditions. you have water dripping because all of this is condensation. you have very cold temperatures. it s a very tough environment and i have to say we re nowhere near as deep as they would have to be. it s a real challenge, isn t it, phil? yes. you look at the manipulator and flight recorder. if we were to fire up our vertical thrusters you would see this all vanish in a huge cloud of sediment. want to see that? can you do that, jeff, fire up the vertical thrusters? we ll give you an idea what happens. this is this way you maneuver down here, right? yep, that s correct. you can feel us. we re starting to rise. ....

Learning, we are using an acoustic system. that means we send out a sound and it reflects off the sea floor and we listen to the reflection. by compositing successful reflections we create an image. we know these are rolling hills and that s the best news i have heard all week and the other thing is there is a lot of silt down there. why is that the best news you have heard all week? because the rolling hills you would be worse off if you were in canyons and valleys and if you have all sort of crevices and big boulders around. so rolling hills is not a bad place for a sonar. it is a matter of figure and ground. we want to see the figure from the ground. if it is just rolling hills and if the sediment is absorbing the sound to some extent things on top of it, reflective things like man made components of jets and metal objects should give us spectacular reflections which would allow us to see the difference between the man made ....

And if you had all kinds of crevices and big boulders all around. so rolling hills is not a bad place for sonar. we want to see the figure from the ground and if it is just rolling hills and if the actually sediment is around, things like man made objects and other metallic objects in principle should give us reflective options that would allow us to see the difference between the manmade objects and the rolling hills. do you think we may see manmade vehicles go down, i would imagine if that would be if the bluefin-21 doesn t locate anything? personally, i think the worst thing to do would be to send a manned vehicle down. i think the worst thing we have learned if you look at the gulf of mexico oil spill they were actually able to fix that with a ....

And the attention on this area is fascinating. i m glued to the stories that are coming out about this. oceanographers are on site offering their knowledge of the deep and benefitting from a multimillion dollar operation with an unprecedented focus an an otherwise overlooked part of the ocean. we are talking about millions of dollars to do this work. and obviously, if one wanted to do this from a scientific perspective, we would not get the funding. one potential obstacle for those looking for the plane, deep layers of silt at the bottom of the indian ocean could valuable information for oceanographers. you can learn where it came from, what is the source of the sediment in that area and learn about the ocean bottom currents that move the sediment around. ....
