looking for the plane may have face add bigger challenge. the battery that was supposed to power one of two underwater pingers for 30 days to help search teams hone in on the black boxes expired in december 2012, more than a year before 370 disappeared. because of a record keeping glitch it was never replaced. the question no one can answer, was the battery dead or still working as search teams scoured an area the size of west virginia, listening for a pinger. >> the maintenance records reflect these batteries were overdo for being changed out. i don't think we have a way of determining if they were working no >> today search commanders are still going on the radar and satellite data which suggests the plane flew into the southern indian ocean before possibly running out of fuel and crashing. a year later not a single piece of debreesh has washed ashore or picked up at sea. nothing. teams have covered 40% of the zone and hope to finish by the end of may. >> as long as there are reasonable leads the search will go on. >> reporter: for the families of the missing a year of anguish and disbelief. >> so many errors and misstatements made whether they were intentional or

isis. it now has affiliations in africa, algeria, libya and egypt, the middle east, from afghanistan to india, and as far as the philippines. >> i think it's really now the tipping point and it will have also effect on where we intervene. >> and as isis spreads, it has more access to western passport holders, at least 3400 westerners have joined its ranks, congress was told recently two australian passport holders held at sydney airport suspected of attempting to join, the latest in a steady stream. >> it's important to note these groups were dangerous everyone before. similarly this
