on satellite. but once again, it was all for nothing. unfortunately, all the leads we ve got from the satellites turned out to be other things other than wreckage. now, in the absence of debris the hope lies with sound. pings, similar to this. generally do not occur in nature. so search crews now logging four separate encounters with that noise is, dare i say? the best lead yet? a former inspector general for the u.s. department of transportation says the optimism among investigators this time is justified saying the search is now just a matter of time and work. let s bring back our aviation panel. very quickly, gentlemen, what do you all think? could this be another dead end? or is this for real? let s start with you, van. the evidence is so overwhelming that we re in the right area. the australians have to be
that. as you say that is a massive, massive area. sorry i was saying square kilometers, actually less in miles, down to 22,000 square miles. but when you look at the pings, what they re trying to do if you look at a cell phone trial, you triangulate between them. that is why they want to get more pings. they re out there dragging that ping locater so they can do that. narrowing down that search area. and as renee pointed out in her piece, that is really just the beginning. and it can take a full day to get the data back by the time it has gone down and up. and even if they find wreckage, you have to get the other sub mersibles, you heard from the man, angus houston, he is not given to hyperbole, quite the

size of west virginia. that may sound vast, but it is nearly 12,000 miles smaller than yesterday. and we may be closer than ever to learning what really happened to the 239 people on board that plane. after 67 hours of silence, two new pings. but today crews are still hoping to find more. ocean shield has been able to re-acquire the signals on two more occasions. the elusive pings they have been desperately trying to re-capture detected again on tuesday, once for about five minutes, then again for seven. ocean shield has now picked up a total of four pings in five days, all near the arc where the plane made its last satellite connection. i am now optimistic that we will find the aircraft or what is left of the aircraft in the
