they are ready to deploy potentially in an area that is of significance. and michael weigh-in. i m sorry, but every time i hear the search changes location, i get frustrated. i don t get optimistic. you and a lot of people get frustrated. but we ve got to caution the optimism here. the reason we ve got to do that is because as chad myers did some brilliant analysis the other day, it will take 3,000 years to cover an area of 130,000 square miles with a ping locater. what we re doing is we re vesting all of our egg sboos this silver bullet, the ocean shield, the ping locator looking for those gps pings off the black boxes. the reality is and we have to be open about this, is that we re going to find likely going to find, the aircraft through some sort of debris trail. and we can t keep investing our hopes and our dreams in finding this through the gps pings. the gps pings will run out in ten days or around ten days.

think the plane actually crashed. they can get the ping locator in the water, that is important because the clock is ticking. the black box battery is due to lose power on saturday or a few days later. once that signal disappears, the chances of finding this plane anytime soon go way down. today s wall street journal also contains a detailed account of poor coordination, how two different teams used different flight information to determine where this plane crashed. their findings were 700 miles apart and led to a long delay, lost opportunities. so flight 370 disappeared march 8th. four weeks ago, where it is, and why it crashed, general that, re jenna, remain a mystery. jenna: remarkable we don t know more. remarkable and tragic at this point. william, thank you. jon: some new developments could have a family seeking justice once more. a third trial ordered for a man convicted of murdering his pregnant wife. why jason young will face a judge yet again.
the area where they identified up north items floating in the water. that red square was the search area yesterday. it s been searched yet another search area shifted a little bit. it s shifted over and over again. bottom line is, millions of square miles. hundreds and thousands of square miles already searched and yet all of that is about conjecture. no physical clues. that s why even though they get satellite images and find some things in the water until some plane out there or some ship out there identifies something that is an actual clue, they have to go to the second phase of the search which is going to be much, much tougher, jake. what about the black boxes, tom? we have less than a week, theoretically, before the black boxes die, assuming they are still operating. how difficult will it be to find them with the towed ping
well, martha, it s the first debris that has actually been photographed by any of the planes. analysis will be left to the photographers. the image analysis, once we land, as well as itemized and hopefully retrieve some of these objects. down here you can see the little gray square is the sighting today made by one of the p-3 aircraft of two objects, which have already been reported in media and a cylindrical gray object and another orange object in the same vicinity. about 90 minutes ago a plane left new york s jfk airport with a new high-tech device to help with the search. the u.s. navy is providing a ping locator, an underwater search vessel that looks like a sting ray and has the ability to hear underwater pings when dragged behind a ship. this will be used in the search
