are living underwater in the only marine laboratory. fabian cousteau during 30-plus days under water. cousteau and the team during their living 63 feet down and we have cousteau now. welcome back to the surface. good morning, victor. good morning, alison. how are you? good morning. so did you have to get i guess when you got back on land, are you a little uneasy? is it difficult to walk? well, it s been an epic, exhausting, surprising and very rewarding expedition. the first time we pierced the surface, it was a little surprising. you know? there was the air on your face. the sun, and then there was a lack of sound. a lack of activity. it was only human beings on a boat waiting for me, rather than sea life everywhere around me.
play anderson. ian summerholder from vampire diaries. the list goes on and on. it was just an amazing and honor. i was honored by all of these visitors who supported us is for mission 31. so what was the toughest part of your 31 days under water? i think the toughest part, while that s a difficult one. there were a lot of tough parts. being away from friends and family, obviously, is one of the of you iter ones, for many of us. beyond this, coming back to the surface, because the clock was ticking. it was only a month under water and we were just scratching the surface of learning about our oceanic frontier. if i had another 31 days i think maybe we could do twice as much, but we were able to do three years of research in 31 days which is pretty amazing. wow. definitely amazing. an amazing mission. fabian cousteau, thank you.
we have to make sure that we use it properly. my professor said 90% planning, 10% work. it s true. you have to know, you have to have an idea of what you re looking for, what frequency is it going to come in on through that amount of water and to see that you have that proper signature. fabian, the mission failed inside that search zone, now they are looking nearby. is this the smartest move or do you think they need to stop, rethink the bluefin s limits? very complex question. i think the bluefin didn t fail, it did what it had to do but it didn t find anything. i think the information is disparate, it s all over the place, and unless we know exactly where to look, the bluefin will continue to do what it s doing. if the flight 370, if they completely reboot, right, what audio evidence do you think they should focus on first? well, we have no more pingers. that s exhausted. so we have to go back and see
and get two wifi networks included. comcast business built for business. the hunt for malaysia flight 370 entering a new phase. the bluefin underwater drone is on a different mission outside the search zone. just a short time ago it finished scanning the search zone, the yellow area you see right there in the center of your screen. no clues were found, nothing. australian officials say the bluefin is now scouring areas adjacent to the search zone. it may head north where a different ping was heard weeks ago, plus a new aerial search will begin after bad weather scrapped earlier plans. up to nine military aircraft, 12 ships are set to help in monday s search. so with me now is ocean explorer, fabian cousteau and so
have the training they need, sherpas aside. we ve been talking a lot over the last several weeks about the ocean, the currents, the ocean floor, malaysia flight 370, and how searching for it has told us how little we know about the ocean. and then came along the ferry disaster. the south korean ferry. which has told us, again, how little we know and how difficult it is when water and oceans come into play and lives are at stake. there is someone, however, who comes from a dynasty that knows perhaps more than the rest of all of us. that s fabian cousteau. with a last name like that, it needs no other explanation. i know you ve got the spectacular expedition coming up in june and i m going to get to that, but i wanted since i have you, you re just a perfect resource to talk about what s happening in south korea. the efforts that these divers, and you having dived since you re 4, the efforts these divers are going through, risking their own lives to find the other 143 missing bodies,
