>> well, we're getting into autumn so, the weather might deteriorate again. it might get worse weather. this is really a part of the ocean where the winds are strongest, where the waves tend to be highest in winter and autumn, where we are now. it will certainly complicate not only the search but also getting peas out of the water. often being on ships on the ocean we need to recover some of our scientific instruments that were in the water, it's very, very difficult for a captain to actually drive a huge ship a300-feet ship next to a piece of debris. and then it takes a lot of effort by the crew to get out there and actually dig it up. in a rough sea that will be very dangerous and very difficult to do. >> very dangerous and very difficult. erik, colleen, thanks very much. we'll check back with you. just ahead, the massive search for the missing flight about to get under way momentarily. we're going thrive the staging area in perth, australia, for the very latest.
