which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn t giving you the control you need. ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it s covered by most health plans. the hunt for flight 370 is on the verge of a crucial turning point. one phase is nearly over. the bluefin underwater drone is wrapping up a last ditch effort to find clues inside the search zone, the yellow area you see on your screen. the u.s. navy drone is on its 15th mission. each time it has come up empty. the entire search operation may need to stop, regroup and hit refresh. i was talking to officials who say they might move the search zone north to an area where a different ping was heard after 52 days and no rock solid clues, is it time to rethink everything here? with me is aviation analyst l les aubin and michael kay with
it is, as you can see, a good distance north of the old search zone and here are these tracks. track a, track b, track c, or y, y, z, so now it s a matter of trying to define what is in the search zone. because we have had these reports specifically most recently from new zealand saying their aerial teams spotted some debris in the water. now, we don t know if what they spotted was debris if the aircraft or it s just more floating debris because there is a lot of that floating in this area of the indian ocean. the good news is by moving the search zone north, if this is an accurate idea for the debris might be, you are cutting the flight time out of perth, australia. the other good news is by moving at 700 miles to a thousand miles north you re out of this extremely volatile ocean area here between the indian ocean and the southern ocean which is called the roaring 40s because of the longitude and latitude. it s about 44 degrees south.
better weather. five different planes are on the hunt and this new development are leading to serious doubts of other objects spotted by thai satellites this week in the old search zone. lots of new information to digest with nbc s tom costello. hi, tom. hi, abby. good afternoon. they ve moved the search zone north. here was the original search zone about 1600 miles or so from perth. the new search zone is about here or so. before i get to a close map, i want to show you something that s important. they have now projected based on projected speeds of the aircraft what the new search zone may be. so what they did is they said all right, if the plane were traveling at x, speed, at y speed or at z speed, where would it have landed? and what they ve done is taken the assumptions that the plane is traveling at somewhere between 460 to 530 miles per hour and then they tried to do the math and based on that here is the new search zone that we re talking about.
