Fox since the flight disappeared, especially with that false alarm with the chinese satellite images, that the type of debris that would survive an impact into the ocean, would be the large sections of the aircraft. so the wing span, which is about 210 feet, and then that tail section which would be the horizontal stabilizer, as well as the vertical fin. and finally, i would just say that as you rightly point out, the weather may be one of the biggest unknowables in this situation. it seems to have made it harder to discern what exactly has shown up in that section of the ocean by the satellit...

Investigators have said it's going to take a few days at least before they can really confirm what those satellite images show. but what do you see in the satellite images? what can we glean about the size? the largest is about 79 feet. what do you see in the images? >> as tom said earlier in his piece, you know, anything that's 78 or 79, 80 feet, there's only two possibilities really, one is part of the wing section, you have a wing span of over 200 feet. that means each wing is better than 100 feet. then of course the fuselage is around 200 feet long and again, it could be a portion of the f...

What i hope they have, like a wing, descriptive of a tail section or something that shows malaysian airlines markings. otherwise i'm nervous that it's premature. one of the good things you mentioned, it's about 78 feet, the largest piece, which is a third the length or width of a triple seven, give or take a couple feet. so that would be encouraging. that that could be related to a debris field for this airplane. >> for viewers who haven't been following, this jet is, give or take, a couple hundred feet long and with the wing span, a couple hundred feet across. is that correct? >> that's corre...
