the fact that we re getting the detections over several miles, we ran numbers. i said no, they have to be in a much smaller area, and mother nature may be yet humble again. david, you heard tim say if they threw an underwater drone at it now it could take up to 600 days to do that. do you think it makes sense to continue to wait to put the underwater drone, the bluefin-21 in the water? you know, i have run calculations on it to point one to 24, and it is 2.5 kilometers. and if you do the math on that and figure all the pings are within the region or dome where it would be, and you do the math on it it comes out to 900 square meters, which is still a great deal. but far less than what they have been dealing with before. so if they don t find pinks up north. i talked with commander marks, he said they would probably look

yeah, it is a very special vehicle, if you re working at seven miles depth, you have to have ten or 12 miles of cable. so we ve gotten rid of the cable. now they just dive down there with a simple fiber strand. all the way to the bottom of the ocean. it s an amazing piece of engineering. that is incredible. amazing technology. david gallo, thank you, david suzie as well. up next, an update from commander marks. u.s. navy, 7th fleet. and also, blistering cross examination of olympic star oscar pistorius on trial, charged with murdering his girlfriend. we ll take you inside the courtroom. dad. how did you get here? i don t know.
