plane is where we believe it to be. i spoke with an oceanographer in western australia. he doubted this oil slick had any relation to nh 370. what is the likelihood that there is any link at all? it could be. i ve been talking to some officials as well and they re saying, yes, it is quite possible that it is. it could be a very, very slow leak of oil. we still see a leak from the arizona every day and we know how long ago that was destroyed. so it is very possible this is a very slow leak coming from the aircraft. and of course at the same time we have to acknowledge it could come from a passing ship so there are a variety of scenarios obviously. and it wasn t long ago that people were talking in material of something possibly being
first of all, big debris and the breaking news is that a french satellite has picked up images of objects in the southern search area. now, it s still not clear what those objects are, but it is the second day that we ve had a new satellite image. that s three satellite images overall. but the crews are also looking for something very small, specifically a wooden cargo pallet and some straps or belts, multicolored. those two things seen by a civilian aircraft. now, the problem is that for these crews flying at 200 miles an hour just a few hundred feet above the water, trying to find a wooden cargo pallet in choppy seas is pretty difficult. secondly, it could just have easily have come from a passing ship as from a crashing plane. the crews here, their morale is good, they re optimistic. you know, the problem is that the mystery of this missing plane remains, even as all those crews, all this hi-tech machinery is focused on trying to find it. david?
can get these kinds of injuries. dr. wecht thinks this is also what caused tinky s fractured skull, that his body was accidentally run over by a passing ship while floating in the gulf. i believe that it is most plausible to infer that those areas of apparent trauma to mr. leiker s body were sustained postmortem when his body was floating for about five days in the gulf. interestingly, the tugboat captain who picked up tinky s body agreed. he says, i ve been a boat captain a long time, and this is not the first body i ve seen, and he says, that man was run over by a boat. and the tugboat captain told peter barbee something else, something which hadn t been made public. he said he had one boot on and one boot off. well, the lights went off on that one because that was alvin s basic story, was that on the boat, at the end of it, tinky had gone down with the
it seems every year during this short, summer season down there, november to february something goes wrong. in 2007 we actually watched the very first antarctic tourist ship sink, it hit ice. when we arrived all of the passengers were in life rafts. martha: this video is so incredible. talk to me about what they do on the ship to try to help the ship make it through the seas. you ve got to maintain control of the ship but you also want to cut the engines, which it sounds like they did. apparently what happened yesterday is that the engine slowed for whatever reason, they got somehow turned into the seas, the 30-foot waves came over the ships, broke out the windows in the bridge on the starboard side and took out a lot of their communication devices. not only were they bobbing in the sea not making much forward headway, they couldn t communicate with anyone. the only people they were able to communicate with is a passing
the float there with and the vietnama mese. is there any weigh the plane could have lapded off grid and dumped the fuel. am i getting too hopefulment i think the hopeful options are most remote. and whether that is from the aircraft or whether it was discharged from a passing ship, they can take a foul sample and determine that quickly. up withs they get out there and get into the area. but now, what is the most important thing, to get the ships and surface search radar. that is built to find submarine periscopes in the optionment that airplane will find it.
