Equipment needs to be on land. >> within the first five days of searching, grim discoveries confirm the fate of those on board. bodies and pieces of the airplane including the vertical stabilizer, are found floating on the surface of the sea. but there are still more questions than answers about what downed the air bus 3350. to answer them, investigators will need to low kat the main fuselage. these brightly colored orange devices are commonly known as black boxes. >> those boxes were put out a ping signal or audible signal with sonar to listen for it. that box is buried under wreckage or stuc...

Missing? >> i think the general public doesn't realize it. but there are large stretches of the ocean where it's uncovered by radar because the radar equipment needs to be on land. >> within the first five days of searching, grim discoveries confirm the fate of those on board. bodies and pieces of the airplane including the vertical stabilizer, are found floating on the surface of the sea. but there are still more questions than answers about what downed the air bus 3350. to answer them, investigators will need to low kat the main fuselage. these brightly colored orange devices are commonly kn...

Investigation, what does that mean? we knew where this went down. we have no idea where this went down. we don't even have an investigation. >> that's the problem here. we don't know everything the satellites picked up. a lot of information hasn't been given out. but in order to find the debris field on top of the water, they're going to have to have eyes on something, like the palette maybe. in order for that to be anything, they have to prove it came from this plane, which is a long step still. >> i've been talking to you for years. you know how much respect i have for you. however, in the a...

Shows you all of the debris that we're talking about here. now, in the same vicinity, a couple of wheels from the plane and then the tip of the plane. now, shift your eyes to the right. that's where the vertical stabilizer, that's the up-and-down part of the tail, that fell off. and to the right of that is the horizontal stabilizers. that is the left-to-right part of the tail. next, we're going to move on over to the right again. one of the landing gear sections. and then, finally, move your eyes all the way to the far right of your screen, and that's where the fuselage and the passengers ende...
