looking for the black backes and so far they haven t found them. fit comes down to relying on the debris, are they up to the task if they have to piece together the wreckage? look, don, i really do believe they are. australia s aviation transportation safety bureau is one of the best in the world. they ve helped nations in the near proximity like indonesia. they ve helped them with their crash investigation. they ve helped the singaporeans as well. they ve got a very, very good track record, very methodical and certainly in the same class as the ntsb and the aaib, and the bea in france. so, yes, they are up to the task but i agree with mary, hopefully the black boxes will give us the information we need because actually recovering this a
habitat that also gives us a slight you feuphoric sense beca we re is t sat chur rated. that feeling lends itself to enhancing any kind of effects of fatigue and all that so that there could be mistakes and we have to be extra vigilant not to make any mistakes at that depth. do you get that euphoric feeling, in the air sometimes you get it, problems are so easy to solve in the air. once i land i was liking what was i thinking when i was flying? when you get above a certain level, 10 to 12,000 feet, you get that starvation for oxygen you get that you foeuphoria. high-tech tools are front and center in the search for flight 370. next, we re going to look at sonobuoys and how they could sonobuoys and how they could find the black backes. for half. and i don t need to be online for it to work. it runs office, so i can do schedules and budgets and even menu changes.
after being told by the malaysians that every passenger on board flight 370 had been cleared of any suspicious involvement in the plane s disappearance we just learned this is not the case. the defense minister saying this is still a criminal investigation. quote, everyone on board remines under suspicion as it stands. just the latest in a long line of flip-flops from malaysians. very clear we have some big holes and problems and a bit of a cover-up over the malaysian radar and the indonesian radar. there s been so many different stories. i mean, i think they have a credibility problem. well, if and it s still a big if, flight 370 s black boxes are ever recovered, it is unclear who would handle the crucial information inside. malaysia s government admits they don t have the know-how, how to deal with these black backes. i want to bring in now joe johns in kuala lumpur.
certainly the drift depends on the current on the way down to the seafloor. i don t know exactly for an aircraft but i would imagine it s something on the order of ten minutes or something like that. minutes, not like an hour. okay. this is for michael kay. a question a lot of people are asking. it s from sheila. if they think they hear the black backes, why haven t they sint the bluefin to try to find them? what are they waiting for. they know it s the noise, but go ahead. yeah, i think what they know about the ping location works on strength. it doesn t geo locate. so if they re going along a seven-mile track what they have to do is identify the strength of the signal. they get close to where the black box is, the amplitude will increase. as it goes away, it will decrease. that doesn t geo locate where the black box is so they have to go around and come back and triangulate. effectively three to identify. we re not get that third ping pulse. that s kind of what issue is. they re
welcome back to new day. almost half past the hour. search teams still unable to relocate those pinger sounds in the hunt for flight 370. the search zone narrowing to 30,000 square miles. 14 planes, 14 ships looking for debris today. sophisticated listening devices under the water. but the batteries in the plane s black backes may already be drained. unmanned sub is at the ready if another signal is detected. russia says ukraine s use of force in eastern regions could lead to civil war. they ve been trying to fend off russian takeovers in government buildings in three cities. they appear to have control of one building. earlier today there was a fistfight in ukraine s parliament after one member suggested that ukraine was to blame for the crisis. right now diplomats from six countries are in vienna for
