Photos. when you look at the date on the photo it is taken march 16th which is over three days now. looking at it, of course they don't have a scale on there, so there is nothing on there. they are telling us what they think the satellite range or scale is. looking at that piece if one were to identify it as one of the largest pieces they said they had some pieces they identified as possibly being 24 meters or roughly 78 to 80 feet that would possibly be in line with the tail section of the boeing 777. and looking at that piece if it were possibly -- again this is all, you know, speculative at...

Be able to know relatively quickly whether there had been a fire inside that cabin that would have facilitated this series of thoughts about how this may have gone down. you're going to know very quickly once you retrieve parts of this if there was a fire. >> it depends on the pieces they find. if you recall in the air france crash in 2009, one of the first big pieces they found was the tail section. and of course the triple 7 is a hugely composite structure airplane, as opposed to the old days where they were built mostly out of aluminum. so that lends itself that one of these pieces could be...

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...

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...

It says possible objects associated with the aircraft. possible objects. they're not saying these are definite objects. the prime minister was on tv, they're very careful to say it's possible object. that's why they're sending aircraft to eyeball them. i think at this point, it's very preliminary to say whether or not these things are part of the debris. >> exactly. one of the objects is about 80 feet long. the other is about 15 feet long, which would be consistent with perhaps part of a tail section or a wing. is that something you could depict from looking at these things? >> no. i don't thi...
