ship using a hydrophone placed below the surface and this british ship having technology that can detect sounds 20,000 feet deep. how do they work together or conflict with one another? that s a question for the search commander to determine how they will be deployed. the most important thing for both vessels to keep in mind is to keep the area as quiet as possible. once the pinger locater she will need absolute silence to troll along and listen carefully for pinger noises from the black boxes. i don t think that s a lot from haixun, she s using a small pinger locater from the surface. mary, is it your opinion there s more to it than that. could that chinese vessel only be using the hydrophone or something else they are not
that of the black boxes of flight 370, our panel is joining us. how might this british ship the echo try to confirm or dispel what it has said are two pulses? what is going to produce the sound is probably at the bottom. it is a major structural part of the airplane. when you get a band of the different temperature water. it can go a long way. but to find it twice in the same place, very encouraging. if this is the real ping, we
because the area is where the plane should be. it is so strange that there was no emergency beacon signal. the last signal was heard 36 hours ago. does anyone feel as though the hms echo might be able to do something to find these boxes or even the plane? do they think it is even possible? if the aircraft is in that area the hms echo is equipped with the right kind of technology but
encouraging lead, probably the most encouraging lead we ve had so far. of. and occurring with time running out. what will it take for verification? we know the hms echo is on the way. what kind of technology will it bring to help verify this or hear something more. my understanding is the chinese vessel had a hand held device, listening device, which is, you know, pretty rudimentary. it can pick up a sound. it s got limited range and limited accuracy. the hms echo has far more sophisticated listening devices. it will be able to, if it picks up the pipng, it will be able t pinpoint its location relatively quickly. i mean, it s still a challenge, but it has the equipment onboard
high-tech ability within miles of the chinese ship that had detected that underwater pulse. hms echo sophisticated sound equipment, could be the key determining whether it s coming from flight 370 s black boxes. check in with will. will what is the first thing oak, will be assigned to do. in that area as we speak, just within miles of each other. echo s job once we get to the newly refined certainly zone. by the way, latest numbers, information estimates officials believe malaysian airliner may have gone down in this area which is what the chinese ship detected which is what s so interesting to authorities. the echo with the sophisticated technology will allow them to
