confusing. stunning to me, anderson, i just got off of one of those p-3s. the human eye is still the best thing they have leaving aside all that data. they re still only using their human eyes in rotations 20 minutes to try and spot things on the surface of the water. an incredible challenge ahead. a lot of confusion as to why they refined this search point now so much further inland. and if that s a good thing or possibly means they ve been wasting their time. hopefully we ll get more word from australian authorities about 25 minutes from now. let s get an update on the search. joining us on the phone is u.s. commander marks. we talked about three hours ago. this is a new this is new information from that time. what can you tell us what you know about the latest news that the search area is shifting some 684 miles to the northeast?
transponders of letting people know that there is a problem on board. still it is not enough. i delivered a commentary at the outset. it is hard for me as a non-pilot to come to terms with this because of the way i rely on technology on a day-to-day basis. why aren t they using the functions we get by day-to-day with? it goes back to sylvia s point. you are looking at the search area. those detection devices because what goes well in almost 100% of cases because people know and have a general idea of the crash site because of the flight plan and the rest of it. now that the search area is just expanded, you know, quadruple, it makes it difficult to pick up. if you look at the bottom of the ocean 3,000 miles away from the search point, it will be difficult to pick up.
