triangulate, to nail down that position as close as possible. and then into that haystack will go the next vehicle. it might be the bluefin 21, if it s shallow enough. think the operating depth is 4,500 meters. if we re below that, then they re going to have to go to plan b, so they ve got lots of things if their quivver they can reach out and use. i would expect something in the order of days to a week or so. yeah, i m glad they have a very robust quivver. it s great to talk to you. your insight is remarkable. david galo joining us live on the phone. another story we re following, olympic athlete oscar pistorius shot his girlfriend to death and today in court he took the stand. it s not something you often see. something else you don t often see, he tearfully apologized to her family. there hasn t been a moment
aircraft if that is what it is. the next strategy will be to try to use the pinger locater. the challenge is that they are close is the operating distance. it s going to be interesting to see you know, what kind of depths they come up with. but the operating depth is 4500 meters. it was 3800 meters and it would be deeper than titaniitanic. it s deep for a wreck. what about the submarines, they are assets here, are they of use at this point? they may be okay to listen. but in terms of reaching the
miles under water. we re talking about incredibly deep ocean. so what type of equipment do you bring in to find the black box because if there is only one thing you re going to find to find out what happened the flight data recorder that they need to find? once they ve got a better idea of where the starting point is to find the debris field that the aircraft is at the bottom of the ocean. then you bring in your ship that is loaded with your underwater search and recovery equipment. that would be your auv, your atonmous underwater vehicle or bring inside and scan sonar. both systems are available in depths up to 20,000 feet of operating depth. and you use those to search for the debris field and then map out the debris field so you know exactly where all the aircraft is located on the ocean bottom. and once you ve made a
