More than 2,000 miles, really off the coast of western australia is reunion island where we are now where the supposed debris was found. many people saying that it could be could, in fact be the missing mh370 flight that has been one of the biggest aviation mysteries in history. just to give you a bit of detail about that. australian transport safety officials say it's not inconsistent with drift modeling. that's gyres and currents so that's what they are expecting. it is within their search area and not inconsistent with the search area they are covering. but it is not an exact science. it ha...

Patricia says, why hasn't any debris washed up anywhere, it's been a month. so the question is, the deep water currents, do they work differently than the surface currents? might the fuselage and other things be pushed under in a way that they won't surface? >> no, no. so probably if the fuselage is somewhere down on the bottom of the ocean, it will stay there and the currents won't be strong enough deep down to move everything. but it's a completely different story at the surface of the ocean. if there would have been a debris field, a few hundred meters from the plane crashing in, then by no...

Flying overboard -- and we have multi nations there. they're dropping down buoys there so they can get a marker with electronics so they can go back with a boat and vector in and find this debris. one of the biggest challenges, if you think how big the ocean is, we're talking about an overall search area that's the size of new mexico. when they say, i saw something and they give the coordinates, with the currents and everything else, it's a lot harder to zero back in and find it. >> they spot it and then have to try and hunt it down. kerry sanders, thank you as always. appreciate you. joinin...

Made a right turn over the strait before coming down south. why would somebody do that? if you could make the right turn in theory, you could have made it back to a malaysian airport. in theory, you could have communicated with air traffic controllers, transponder was off, the acar's data was no longer transmitting. there was a lot here to suggest this was intentional. >> all right. tom costello, thank you very much for that. let's bring in a physical oceanographer at air and space research. she's been analyzing surface currents to determine where the debris might be now. kathleen, we have a b...
