commander, australia s prime minister, tony abbott came out and said directly look, he is confident that what you ve heard so from is from a black box that is from this plane. do you share that view? yeah, i do. for a couple of reasons. one is it was a we are detecting very continuous pings. and are coming through in a manner consistent with exactly what you would expect from a black box. we ve ruled out that it was anything unnatural or anything from commercial shipping or anything like that. i m joined now by our richard quest and miles o brien and jeff wei weise. what do you think? they say there has been no acoustic detection in the past 24 hours. do you agree with commander marks? look, we have ruled out shipping, ruled out everything else it could possibly be, yes, this is it. i think it s nice to be
these four pings. the first one was longer. the second one was shorter and the last two were pretty short. they re far from each other. they re too far from each other. the tow fish only has a range of two and a half miles. these things are more like 12 miles apart. at least half of them by logic have to be false positives. i sense richard s disagreement with me here. but thing is a number of reasons why there is holes on this. i would love to hear his reasons for that, rather than just the confidence that he is sharing you re talking about commander marks, all right, richard, what did this point of distance? you re not listening to what they re saying, with respect to in that news conference when he announced the pings, he laid it out chapter and verse why he believes i don t know. i will be quite open, i do not know if they are the pings.

with the bluefin-21. interesting, so maybe a day or two. yeah, commander marks, just to clarify something, do you think it is possible that the signals that you re receiving may be from both the digital flight data recorder and from the cockpit voice recorder? yes, so there are a couple of indications we had. first i should let you know there was a slight variation in frequency, and that can be expected. that is not something completely out of line. but on that first day we did have the same type of signal coming from two locations. the second day we couldn t quite decipher that. but on the second day we did have two distinct locations. so there are indications that indeed, both of those black boxinbo boxes are out there. do you recall the approximate
