lancashire police. i don t criticise on this point, because i don t blame them for not being able to see around the corner, with regards to the numbers of people who took it upon themselves to go to st michael s on wyre. but the police will really have two develops strategies, think about this, think of hypothetical scenarios with multiple crime scenes and many people turning up. because, with the current explosion of interest, into crime, whether that be books, films, documentaries, podcasts and the like, this might not be going away. all injanuary 28, i understand lancashire constabulary were using drones, helicopters. they also brought and police dogs. again, to remind people, these ski search area was around the river. what sort of challenges with the police dogs have and to what extent would you be useful in finding a missing person? it varies from case to case, of course. sometimes a dog who is very useful for picking course. sometimes a dog who is very usefulfor pickin
sadly. people in policing. there are, sadly, rogue elements of the media, and there sadly, rogue elements of the media, and there are people on social media who think and there are people on social media who think they are journalists, and they are who think they are journalists, and they are not, and they re just out to cause they are not, and they re just out to cause mischief. you are not going to cause mischief. you are not going to be to cause mischief. you are not going to be able to cause mischief. you are not going to be able to to cause mischief. you are not going to be able tojust to cause mischief. you are not going to be able to just stop all of that, it is impossible. but you can influence it is impossible. but you can influence the majority of the media, responsible journalist and mainstream media, to get the message i’ili it mainstream media, to get the message right and mainstream media, to get the message right and to mainstream media, to get the
quickly and it s very deep water and there s nowhere to run once you re caught in that path. and in terms of searching, the last time we had a deep-water search, mh370 with an airplane, listening for pings and black boxes. is there a similar situation with ships? at this point they would be. they re still doing a visual. the seas are calming down, which will make it easier, if they pick up additional debris or survivors. they have to do aerials to make contact. it s a very large expanse. they need to see what they can pick up visually, and then they send the boats in. again, it s been four days. they may have had exposure suits. i believe the body they recovered was in an exposure suit. what does that mean? they re protective suits that
if the airplane hit the water. a transmitter would send out signals giving the exact location. why don t commercial airlines use this? i m a little bit calmer about it today than i was yesterday. but my understanding is that the airlines agree that this an important thing, that it will be you have to it s not mandated. so it maybe tough to put it in place. infrastructure is not quite there yet. you talk about cost benefit. think about the anguish of these families and now there are thousands of families involved when you have 160 some odd passengers. but look at the anguish and tell me it s a matter of cost to make them suffer for days at a time and even longer in the case of flight 370. horrific. and the cost of a search. in deep water, we re talking about tens of millions of dollars before you re done with the deep water search. so i find it hard to believe that that s a good reason not to get off their butts and get the system in place. it s time. thank you so much for your ti
it s important to remember that two years figure included all the politics of getting there, actual winter to deal with. the actual search was about four or five months. even that is much longer than what we ve had so far now. i would expect it to go further. they knew within a very few miles from where this is. now let s look at the pings. the pings tell us in my mind where that aircraft is pretty specifically. so to continue that search is important. unfortunately, you can t just take these pieces of equipment and pull them out of the closet and say, okay, we re ready to do a deepwater search. there s crews that need to be prepped. there s crews that need to be planned. there s a lot plans that goes into this, as your other guests can tell you. it s not like you flip a switch and you have a new search strategy going on. all right, thomas alcheler, michael kay and david soucie, thank you. stand by. there s so much more on the
