Focusing on two separate zones that together cover more than 18,000 square miles. mother nature not playing along. tropical cyclone is hovering nearby. it won t be a direct hit but it will make for windy, rainy conditions. the search will not end there if the bluefin does not come up with anything but the scope will be widened and the use of other assets considered. let s go to perth, australia, home base of the search. cnn s miguel marquez rode along with the crew and here s his report. reporter: another day, another search, another hope of finding something, any scrap of debris related to malaysian flight 370. it s our mission to find it and we want to be the crew that does find it but it takes time. reporter: captain tim mcelverey has been everywhere ....
This weekend a critical juncture. why is this weekend so critical? because they anticipate the bluefin, the underwater autonomous vehicle finishing its initial assignment, its initial job of mapping the floor of the immediate area around the four pings, from believed to be from the black boxes. and then once that s done, which is should finish up within the week, then both the australian joint task force and the malaysians have said they need to get together and decide what they re going to do next. most likely it will involve deploying a lot more assets, sonar, and other vehicles to search a wider area than what was originally thought necessary. they were hoping to find it right around the area of the four pings, if that doesn t turn out to be the case, they re going to need much more. and speaking of much more, the malaysian transportation minister says the search won t end if the bluefin comes up empty. you mentioned the towed pinger ....
Locator which is what they used before to narrow down the area. what else could they send down? i was told sonar, they could use additional sonar vehicles. they can use other vehicles that can go deeper than the bluefin 21, and that may be necessary. there are vehicles manned they can send down and talk again about using submarines, the submarine, just unmanned submarines. i think the next step is the towed sonar and underwater vehicles like those used on the air france search and roarry. considering the lack of any debris, as much as a carry-on, a floating seat, or any more of these pings and finding the black boxes, when you look at the calculations using inmarsat, do you believe they re searching in the right area? i believe they re searching in the only area they know in ....
Which to search. whether this will turn out to be the right one or if they have to expand it, time will tell. the lack of wreckage material in that area doesn t surprise me because it was so long before they got to that area. wreckage floats away i won t say in a hurry but with the currents it can move 50 miles a day. they didn t get there for a couple of weeks. there were lots of false starts, first it was in the south china sea and they were certaining for where it went next. what concerns me is the bluefin is down on its eighth mission taken hasn t seen a thing and searching in the area of the pings that were located with the towed ping locator. so with those being the most promising leads and those certain areas quickly coming to an end, the next step is, i would say the critical part because they re going to have to decide where to look next, expand the current area or go further south or north. we saw what happened there with the air france 47 two years ....
