i could not see anything. all i could see was black and gray. i didn t realize at the time that our canopy had glazed over. inside the fireball it all crystallized and i didn t realize that we were on fire at that particular time. the plane slams into the ground. then a camera scans the sky and finds hep and the pilot parachuting to safety. they activate their emergency rocket propelled ejection seats in the nick of time. i saw the fire and i said, okay, i think it s time to get out. i m no longer having fun. i m going to eject myself. he and the pilot shoot out from the doomed aircraft seconds before impact. i don t remember coming out of the airplane visually. i felt the snap of the parachute. that s when i opened my eyes finally or could see again. grabbed ahold of my parachute and looked um and saw the big circle and said, okay, i m happy
blocked by the ocean floor and this goes on for miles and miles and miles right along the trench. before you go. they saw these objects hundreds of them in the old zone that now may perhaps be garbage. there s places on the planet where garbage accumulates. that other zone was not one of them. where they are looking now is. this whole circulation in the southern indian ocean goes around in a big circle. what gets in there stays in there. what we had was that circle here and then going around. so we assume this would move a little bit more. now in the middle of this is like being in the middle of a hurricane. it doesn t move much or middle of a high pressure because that s essentially what it is. what stays in this spot isn t going very far and there s no way the data down here, the data we saw from those satellites 1,000 miles no way that the drift could have taint up there to this new site. they are not related at all. chad myers. outfront next new information about the captai
not a lot of rain the next 48 hours. it s all west. the issue is the wind. everywhere you re going to see this red wind right there, that s 50 to 60 miles per hour. and that s just too much to get this. even with the ocean so deep and you get rollers not sharp waves like you get on lake erie because it s so shallow, you re still going to have those white caps all day on sunday and into monday. it s going to be unsearchable again. so using your scientific brain here, let s say this find this thing tonight. purely out of luck they come across it and now the search begins. tell me about the cone of uncertainty. how big do you think that search area would have to be given what you know about currents and gires and everything else. the currents spin in a big circle. there are five of these across the globe. north atlantic, south atlantic, pacific, indian. that would be the number four one here. the waves and wind has been pushing everything this way for the past couple of days. so if we
like you get on lake erie because it s so shallow, you re still going to have those white caps all day on sunday and into monday. it s going to be unsearchable again. so using your scientific brain here, let s say this find this thing tonight. purely out of luck they come across it and now the search begins. tell me about the cone of uncertainty. how big do you think that search area would have to be given what you know about currents and gires and everything else. the currents spin in a big circle. there are five of these across the globe. north atlantic, south atlantic, pacific, indian. that would be the number four one here. the waves and wind has been pushing everything this way for the past couple of days. so if we re searching for the black box which would have gone down pretty much immediately and not floated away with the current you have to kind of back everything up. we have to back everything up not one day or two days but literally 14 days from now. we can do it.
the answer we have. you talk about the brief window they have to look. not only is the window to look brief, but the satellite images are four days old. so in that time, how far would the debris have moved thanks to those five to ten-foot seas you re talking about. the current is only about e one-mile-per-hour so. okay, 14 days, multiply that out. you could be 300 miles with the current, but it s the wind. if anything is sticking up, it s called windage. it will have a sail and it will want to move, not only with that current, but it will also want to move with the wind itself and some of those wind, we ve seen over the past 14 days, we kind of reversed the clock back, assuming that stuff has been there 14 days. there have been storms, actually three of them now over this area. right now the wind and all this current now to the south, maybe southwest at 15 or so miles per hour. big circle here. the good news is the current isn t moving that fast. the bad news three storms over that a
