like this looking at the ocean chad myers yesterday was talking about a bubble bath. i love that phrase. when you re looking at it from 450 miles up in space, white objects like foam can often look like an object. it s hard to conclusively say this could be debris from an aircraft. the general user at home that uses technology and google, this is where we re getting a little frustrated. i can see a pool toy floating in that pool, the color of a vehicle. this is google map technology, yet we look at the technology for satellite, there s a massive discrepancy there. this is taken from an airplane. this is taken from a satellite. satellites are not a allowed to
and malaysia have been coming forward and saying, we believe that we have a credible lead. turns out those were just guesses. a mathematical extrapolation i think. we put in an assumption and get another assumption. at this point, it seems like the assumptions were not based on very much. or they were wrong. they search and got to the wrong place for the wrong reasons. how much hope do you hold out for this new search area? i hope they either do have some information or they just get lucky. every day that goes by, whatever material in the water is going to get spread out and more diverse and less information we can extract from it. we are hoping to find the debris on the ocean floor, that s where the black box is going to be. they do say one good thing,
this p3 orion did spot the debris. meanwhile, malaysian officials, they were briefing all morning, very much on the defensive. they say the new search area is based on the best information they have including from the faa and ntsb, also from boeing. they re standing by the fact they were searching in the old search area. they also standby the hunt for debris captured by satellite over the last few days. will the search finally lead crews in the right direction? for the latest, let s go to the ground. andrew stevens live in perth, australia. reporter: good morning, john. that s the question. at this stage, no one will be prepared to answer that given there s been so many false leads and false hopes in this 21-day
if you look here, we have a forecast for the next 24 hours. you can see the winds, 10 to 20 miles per hour. not quite as bad. we do have a storm system that we re going to watch pull through by the end of the weeke weekend, but over the next couple of days, i think they re going to have a window where it s going to be a little bit better out there for them. the challenge not nearly as high. doesn t mean the debris is there or not there. the last issue has been the clouds. the planes couldn t see anything. you re still going to have clouds where you are now, of course. so it s going to be a challenge. you re just going to have to find that window where you can find the skies that are clear. it s such a gamble. it s not only challenging for the aircraft. the satellites. these things aren t fixed. they re or bitting, the earth is
i ve been speaking a lot with colleagues and with david. this is tib call. we have to be careful that we don t now throw out everything we ve been looking at. this is collection at its finest. this is intelligence analysis and bringing in all the sources we can to help get the best possible area. to that end, i want to ask is this still potentially in playing because we ve seen all the debris. in fact, let s go there. all of this debris is it just sea junk because we know that area collects sea junk because the current s really aggressive in that area, or could that still be debris even though the new search area could be a point of impact? bottom line, we don t know. it s possible. it is possible. we still need more positive identification. we spoke a lot about it in the past couple days, the problem with satellite imagery in a case
