shocking news in the next few minutes when the headline comes out that they put out daily. they will have found nothing again. you ve had very serious concerns that officials are looking in the wrong place. you have talked about that on this program where. do you think they should be searching next? honestly, i don t have an opinion because i don t have any data on which to make the opinion. so i would never presume to allocate the kinds of resources that they have allocated to searching an ocean area when that ocean area has not been proven to be the place. if they re so certain that they re searching in the right place, why do they have only one device down there? i mean, there is dozens of underwater searching devices around the world that could be deployed in this. so if they re really certain it s there, they should not be just dragging it drip by drip, day by day, they should be focussing the resources. but they re not doing that. so all of the things that we see in terms of be
it is, as you can see, a good distance north of the old search zone and here are these tracks. track a, track b, track c, or y, y, z, so now it s a matter of trying to define what is in the search zone. because we have had these reports specifically most recently from new zealand saying their aerial teams spotted some debris in the water. now, we don t know if what they spotted was debris if the aircraft or it s just more floating debris because there is a lot of that floating in this area of the indian ocean. the good news is by moving the search zone north, if this is an accurate idea for the debris might be, you are cutting the flight time out of perth, australia. the other good news is by moving at 700 miles to a thousand miles north you re out of this extremely volatile ocean area here between the indian ocean and the southern ocean which is called the roaring 40s because of the longitude and latitude. it s about 44 degrees south.
or surprised we have no sight of this plane? martha, we start with you. i m not surprised. if you don t find the wreckage right where you last lost contact and you start looking in the area and looking at the radar coverage and the data that you have and discover that it s not on its normal flight and now we are seeing it deliberately was flown off course. what you have to do is draw a ring around the range of the aircraft and how far it could fly and you have to start piecing together radar data and satellite data and civilian and military radar from multiple countries that don t have initial cooperation and not necessarily a lot of trust and try to figure out where this thing went. add into it, you ve got a vast ocean area and you re trying to now narrow down where the airplane is not. it is not surprising that it s taking this long given the
what is called a qra. quick reaction alert. there are defense fighters on the ground to launch to inspect any aircraft that doesn t respond to the transponder. it responds when it is interrogated. if it goes north to kazakhstan, there would be an alert to a sovereign territory, india, kazakhstan, the alerted qra fighters would have seen the blip on the radar. that doesn t appear to have taken place. absolutely not. it is probably more gone into a vast expansive ocean area where the interrogations or qras. sylvia, what military installations have had to be flown over as far north as kazakhstan? it seems to be the case when you are flying over any sovereign country. you will know what is flying over them for security purposes. i don t think we had any indication that anybody has reported anything like that.
