u.s. navy expert says the pings that had once seemed so promising are not connected to the missing plane s black boxes. they may have even come from the search ships themselves. earlier on cnn, sarah bajac expressed her frustration over the search efforts. they re not running it like an investigation. the tail is wagging the dog. they made a determination of where they thought the plane went, and now they ve force fed all of the information to satisfy that. there are just too many inconsistencies and too much i mean, i call it overt incompetence for it to be accidental. i mean, nobody can be so stupid as to make so many mistakes over and over and over again. will ripley is covering the story from tokyo. will, where do we go from here? reporter: well, where we go from here, ana, is a very slow,
