then as we look at it, there does appear now we haven t seen much evidence until now, but that i think could very well be what we call a debris ball there or of debris right to the west of tupelo, that low correlation, that means non-meteorology cal targets. and then right in there you have irregular shapes that could be branches, trees or structural damage. i think that s what we re seeing in there. i think that s an indication there is debris in this particular storm. so it caused the damage, the da debris gets picked up, and then it s picked up by the radar. can you show me where the large hail? tremendous hail off to the north there. that s getting up into gunn town and saltillo.
site of possible da debris. big if if this is it if we have finally found some trace of flight 370, what do we know about how it got there? joining me now mary schiavo former inspector general of the d.o.t., she represents victims of negligence by transportation companies including airlines. david souci, author of why planes crash. a former pilot and professor at aeronautical university join me here for day 14. mary when you see those images, what is the first thing that went through your mind? well, hopeful. i wanted them to be the images of the plane so we could find that information before it s lost. there s so much to be learned from the flight data recorder that i just was very hopeful. and that they had finally solved at least part of the mystery. there s much more to solve of
80 feet long. hard to tell, actually what it could be, even harder to actually go find it. because this image is over four days old. this is what the surface of that sea could look like in the next couple days. this video shot by some sailors in 60-knot seas. that means winds of around 70 miles per hour. weather in this area has been calmer than this in recent days. it s anyone s guess what the winds and tides have done with that chunk of debris since march 16th. but with a storm brewing that could be this strong or stronger, the clock now ticking. to complicate matters further, this is also a place prone to garbage patch guyers, swirling currents that can congregate sea junk. even if they find it tonight and confirm it is a piece of the boeing 777, then comes the hard part. doing the math and then going down here. this area is near a trench, a range of undersea rings and
made machinery would jump out of the waves, but that s not how the radar sees it. no, no. it sees it like if it s liquid metal. how does it know when it s found the plane? that s good question. it s down to the operator who is watching the imagery. what he s going to see is, if we consider this as the ocean here, this piece of aluminum foil and this is a large piece of debris, on a good day, it lays nice and flat. but when it s rough out, it becomes obscured by the ocean. what the operator has to look for, he needs to look for that debris moving a little bit differently than the waves. right. so missy, if they do see the debris down there on the sea of aluminum foul, what happens next? how do they market, mark it, how do they know where to find it floating? the aircraft is in constant
