where the plane went down it still took several days before any wreckage was found on the surface. they have to work their way through it. while they do this, they have to deal with the very thing that some people think may have caused this crash. storm systems can move through this area at any moment so even as they get all those assets out there they could be up against real challenges covering a lot of space, ana. there are a lot of countries helping in this search. as we just discussed the u.s. has joined in helping. do you know what kind of assistance the u.s. will be providing? we don t know what they will be sending at this point. we know what they can send. think back to what we had with malaysia air. ships involved. some of the most sophisticated planes in the world searching for submarines involved. the bluefin-21. sonar boys. all could be deployed. but something to bear in mind. when you talk about the areas that we re dealing with right
statement, i think it s pretty obvious that the gentleman said what the situation was. the australians haven t said, oh, no, it s the black boxes. we heard no one else say it is the black boxes. even a couple days ago, the australian investigators were putting out hints they were looking elsewhere, they were going to search different way-point routes to see if the plane could be located against those. when you said malfunction in the equipment, you mean the equipment that s trying to detect the pings and not necessarily a malfunction in the equipment yes. correct. with nothing found in phase one. what will phase two look like when it picks back up within a few months? one of the challenges they had, the bluefin can t predict as well in flight 447 it had a map of the area, it could tell
disputes this, calling snowden a coward and saying real patriots face the consequences of their actions. the secretary invited snowden to come home any time he wanted. breaking news this morning from australia, where officials are now confirming a six-week-long underwater search for flight 370 has turned up nothing, nothing. the bluefin-21 has been scouring the floor of the indian ocean, covering more than 300 square miles, looking for any sign of the jet months after it disappeared. the search location was where investigators thought they may have heard pings from the plane s black boxes. now cnn is learning those sounds may have been underwater noise. here s rene marsh. reporter: well, christine and john, it was the most promising lead, and now we know it is false. the u.s. navy tells cnn it has concluded the underwater signals were not from the missing plane s black boxes. if they were, the navy says the underwater drone bluefin-21 would have detected them. i d have to say at
today. thank you for joining us. we ll begin with a devastating setback in the search for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. the bluefin-21 has now rapid up its search mission and found no sign of the missing airliner of the 239 people on board. adding to all the pain, australian officials now say they were likely looking in the wrong place. earlier on cnn, a partner of philip wood expressed frustration. the people running the investigation are not listening and not thinking clearly. in any normal investigation, you would pursue all reasonable avenues of evidence. in this case it s almost like they ve been so fixated on this one directed path that they ve managed all the information so it aligns with that path. and that s just backwards. that s the tail wagging the dog. let s go to cnn s rene marsh covering the story from
2010. this stuff has been quite well known in the v.a. the v.a. just wasn t paying attention. so now what the politicians are saying, and quite frankly what many veterans groups are saying, is do we trust these same administrators, this same staff, this same group of people who got us into this mess, and quite frankly ignored the mess to lead us out of it. you know, at some point, if you were turning around a company, ana, you d have to say, hey, enough is enough. we do need new leadership to turn around what is obviously a ship that s been going in the wrong direction. all right. we keep hearing more problems, but not enough solutions right now. drew griffin, we know you ll stay on top of this. thanks so much. thanks. now to a devastating setback in the search for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. the bluefin-21 has now wrapped up its search mission with no sign of the missing airliner or the 239 people on board. and adding to the pain now, a
