search area. they got to this new search area by something that happened all the way up there. we need to begin by going way back up to the northern part. if you look at what the statement said and you follow it says the new information is based on analysis of radar data between the south china sea and the straits of ma la ka. that is all the way up here. that is the area where they know the speed and position of the plane. what they are now saying is the plane the aircraft was traveling faster than previously estimated. what does this mean? what it means is that the plane burned more fuel here so when it started to come south, it
slower. what this means is, same amount of time, shorter distance, equals lower speed. so you re questioning anywhere reasoning behind the new search area. but you also think they must have a lot more going into this. no. on the contrary, this starts to seem like they re just making wild guesses. all these satellite images in the last few days, they re saying that these which they found by the way in this green search area over here, those still could be related to the crash even though they re investigating over here now in the red search area. listen, i think this latest development really calls into question the credibility they ve been putting their credibility on the line. the prime minister of australia
altitudes, your mock numbers will get a lot higher. perhaps the crew did what i thought originally, they were diverting to an emergency airport and just overwhelmed and incapacitated. it s going to fly along at whatever speed and altitude are in the auto pilot system and that very well may be what s happened here. it locked up at 275, 280 knots which is going to burn an awful lot of fuel at that altitude. australians also have that over the horizon radar. certainly that working group is going to know if they painted an aircraft with a south-southwest track across that area out at the limits of its range. this doesn t get us any closer to why the plane was
the work we ve done before and said, it s not working, let s go someplace else. the fact they said that, that tells me conclusively that they have something that tells them they re in the right place now. if they continue to analyze the information they have and refined it further that it would be even more north, more east in a different area? you re saying the smart thing they did is go as far out as you re going to go and continue to work their way back. the further east they get, now they start getting into the radar coverage areas that the australians have. if the radar operators didn t see something, it puts it more likely out in the area that it s at. they re right at the edge of that radar system that s been talked about so much in the news this last week. they may have a skin paint or
australia, britain, canada. in the u.s., we ve been doing it as far back as the mid-1980s. then you have continuing monitoring. if the pilot s doing his job on a normal basis, you see some incident happen, somebody will pull him aside and say is everything okay. the countries i mentioned are very good about making sure the pilot has that time to deal with personal issues. let s talk about the other news. we have now theny search area, some 680 miles northeast of where we have been focused. since that refinement happened, the new zealand air force team, i m wondering if it s the same team i went up with over the weekend, they ve spotted objects. here is the problem i take from this. the ships that need to get eyes on it, they re still in the old search area and it s going to
