kinds of tools you need to work 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 meters deep is going to take a bit of time. i think there s probably some things in australia that can be used, but to bring things from other parts of the world is slow going. it s months. yeah. and the malaysians have already said they don t have the submarine capabilities to do that kind of work in their fleet. david, thank you. i hope you can stay with us throughout the program. i ve got a lot more questions for you. david gallo joining us live via telephone. just fantastic information when it comes to the ocean graphic aspect of what this search might entail. and when david said that it could take a long time, think about the families for a moment. because they ve been waiting already two weeks, almost entirely two weeks. but if it takes years and years, they still need the answers. as you might imagine, the discovery of this debris that might have actually come from the plane is evoking a lot of different emotions for these re
so we don t expect any new discoveries for several more hours at the very least. and even if it s confirmed that objects spotted halfway between australia and antarctica are pieces of flight 370, finding the rest of the plane and of course finding the occupants of that plane and solving the mystery of how this all happened in the first place and how they ended up in that very remote area, well, these are still challenging, challenging problems. i m joined here in new york by cnn s safety analyst and former air accident investigator david suse and also from cnn center in atlanta meteorologist jennifer gray is going to join us with how the weather is factoring into all of this and could thwart our efforts to find anything at all. jennifer, if you can standby for a moment, i want to bring david in about this. all hands on deck, it feels like a code red, assets all dispatched to this very specific area, all based on a four-day-old satellite photograph. to a layperson it seems crazy,
uh-huh. we ll never know what might have gone on if the voice recorder s found other than the last two hours. that s correct. that s correct. that s all we would know about it. but that could be valuable information. but what would have been more valuable is if the flight voice recorder had been going all that distance. this issue of privacy came up when there was a big push to put cameras in the cockpit and record the video of the pilots. they didn t want that. throughout the whole flight. no. i can kind of empathize with that because the fact it s stressful to be up there in the first place. so now you ve got someone watching over you every minute of every second of that flight. well, you would hope they re not. they re only watching if there s a crisis. i mean, nobody goes scanning those cockpit data and voice recorders for the fun of it, do they? yeah no, no. but it s a matter of is it available or not. that s what the pilot s union argued. david, with what we re

impact. the reason that s most important is because that s the most likely place to find everything else. and by the way, bodies, that s got to be priority number one, isn t it? not wreckage, bodies. that s the first thing that happens. there s really two different teams that do that so it happens concurrently. many times on an accident site there are still bodies we call them souls on board, they re there, but it s a concurrent process. because you don t want to disturb evidence. and one may lead to finding more of the other quite frankly. david, standby if you would. i have a lot more questions for you. jennifer gray, thank you for that as well. there are all kinds of variables. i m sure you are probably thinking many of them at one moment and there are still new ones that come along every day in this search. depths of the ocean where the debris was found, the terrain of the bottom of the ocean where this plane just might be lying. we re going to get out some of the maps and
