scene and began intensifying their search stop they have also said that they don t know what or who could have been making those noises, they don t have an exact location either, they have sent that audio data to us navy specialists and it is now being analysed to try to pick up any pattern or understand what was making that noise. it has injected even more urgency into the search. it is also getting much wider today, yesterday we heard it was about the size of connecticut and today it is twice the size of connecticut. it s very broad net being cast and you can imagine this being and you can imagine this being a lot like finding a needle in haystack, they looking utterly at the top of the haystack but all the way down below, 2.5 miles down under the surface of the ocean, there are some remote operated vehicles that are capable of reaching those depths and they are looking high and low for this missing vessel as time is running short. it vessel as time is running short. , ., , , ., shor
very quick iteration cycle and that s part of the culture but when you re putting people down at 13,000 feet, the laws of mother nature will take over. so i think they might have gone a little too far and i admire the spirit but we know from years of submarines what it takes for all this discipline and the rego and the operational testing, but you have to do to maintain some brain safety. 50 have to do to maintain some brain safety- brain safety. so a question about maintaining - brain safety. so a question about maintaining safety l brain safety. so a question| about maintaining safety of brain safety. so a question - about maintaining safety of the submarine but we have heard reported it was controlled by a joystick, members were bolted in from outside, is that normal for this type of vessel? i don t think a joystick is normal, but again, i don t really have a huge problem with that. we would call it in the military commercial off the shelf technology. rather than the military going
live now to our correspondent carl nasman, who is boston. you have been following the latest developments, has the coastguard giving any indications of signs of the location of the submersible? well, they are looking for this vessel in a specific area but i have to say this is up fairly broad area about the size of connecticut. this is 900 miles off the shore of cape cod so just out towards the ocean from where we are in boston. this is a wide area that is being searched since sunday, a lot of planes traversing over that part of the ocean, we now know there are ships as well dropping some sun listening devices and also some remote unmanned underwater drones that
