this new strategy will likely drag out the search a lot longer. this bluefin-21 submarine takes six times to search as the towed pinger locater. today the sub can only carry an area of about 15 square miles which is about 7,200 football fields meaning the scan of the entire search area which is the size of los angeles could take up to two months. >> the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle has the potential to take us a further step towards visual identification since it offers a possible opportunity to detect debris from the aircraft on the ocean floor. i would caution you against raising hopes that the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. it may not. however, this is the best lead

we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. >> this morning the head of the search team says an oil slick was found in the search area, but lit take several more days to figure out where the oil came from. cnn's will ripley is in perth, australia. >> reporter: angus houston at the press conference said this area where bluefin-21 we believe is searching right now is an area new to man, meaning more people have been in outer space than have been this far down at the bottom of the ocean. the search for mh370 is moving into a dark corner of the world that in some ways is more mysterious than outer space. >> we know less about our deep ocean than we know of the moon's surface. >> this man and his research team took this video, professor of the coastal ocean ag fi in

australia says this is what the search zone nearly three miles down could look like. >> it's dark, very cold. >> reporter: with pressure so intense, it crushes a styrofoam cup down to a fraction of its size, the missing plane is believed to be 4500 meters, nearly 15,000 feet down. >> it's flat and it's -- the sediment, it's silt. >> reporter: the extreme conditions will test the limits of the u.s. navy's bluefin-21 which is beginning the slow, painstaking process of mapping the ocean floor. >> patients. people need patience. >> reporter: u.s. navy captain mark matthews says one mission takes 24 hours, two hours down, 16 hours of scanning, two hours up, another four hours of downloading data from the side scan sonar which maps out the ocean floor. >> you can actually see the shapes. you kind of see the traces, the outlines of the objects.

>> reporter: the team also took the video of what this next step, the salvage phase would look like, underwater robots would pull small pieces of the plane up. a ship would have to hoist up any large pieces. >> bottom line, a very, very slow process. >> reporter: a process just beginning meaning mh370 families could wait months, even years for the answers and closure they so desperately need. carol, another interesting thing that the oceanographer told us is he would be very surprised if any debris is found floating on the surface. we've been talking so long about this visual search area. he thinks because of the fact that the plane went down in the area it did where the current patterns are the way they are. plus tropical cyclone jill jan moved through some time back, he believes it makes this underwater search so much more critical. >> what about the visual search

efforts with all the planes and the ships. how much longer will that last? >> reporter: that's a good question. angus houston would be the man that would have the answer to that. he did say today, he also said, just like the oceanographer that the chances of finding any floating debris are significantly lower now. so at some point soon it's safe to say we will see a tapering off of that visual search effort and eventually the seoul focus will be this under water search. >> will ripley reporting live from australia. searchers will now search an area the size of los angeles for the black boxes. to do that they'll use bluefin-21, an unmanned submersible, a submarine. 16.2 feet long, 21 inches in diameter, weighs 1,650 pounds. its maximum speed is 4.5 knots, not very fast. it is equipped with side scan sonar. i want to show you an example of the kind of pictures it takes.

this is the picture courtesy of teledyne. it shows the under water wreckage of a ship. this image was taken with better technology but you get the idea. we'll talk about this a little later in the newsroom. as the strategy shifts in the indian ocean it becomes more important to find the black boxes. this weekend al lash yeah's acting transportation manager says it's difficult to clear the passengers and crew of any wrongdoing. that's not what the inspector general of police said earlier this month. >> actually we said only the passengers has been cleared. the rest, no. >> different story this morning. on sunday those were the comments from malaysia's acting transportation minister. listen. >> that is an ongoing thing. i don't think the idp would have meant that they've all been cleared. unless we find more information specifically on data in the black box, i don't think any

chief of police would be in a position to say they they've been cleared. >> there you have it. we're at the 200-plus suspects. sunima udas is in kuala lumpur with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: hi, carol. there has been a miscommunication or disconnect between the various investigating agencies. that seems to be a problem or have been a problem all along. the malaysian acting transport minister explained the discrepancy saying what the police chief was actually trying to say was none of the passengers had any kind of suspicious background, not that they had been cleared, because he said nobody can be cleared, of course, until those key black boxes are found. authorities have questioned about 205 people so far. the four main areas they're focusing on are sabotage, terrorism and personal problems and psychological problems.

and the main thing we have to remember here, carol, it's not just the malaysian authorities who are investigating. there are so many other agencies in involved. you've got representatives from inmar sat, from boeing, from the fbi, from the ntsb. so this is a massive investigation and a very complex one. we're not getting that much information from anywhere really because they say this can jeopardize the investigation. >> thank you. pro russian demonstrators in ukraine show no sign of ending standoffs. today they set fires and broke windows throughout a police headquarters. one man in a police uniform who was severely beaten had to be taken away by ambulance. this comes as the deadline passes for the activists to lay down their arms and surrender from two other buildings they

occupy. cnn international correspondent nick paton walsh joins us from the ukraine. >> reporter: the ukrainian government says it's retaking this town, slavyansk, a pro russian barricade blocking the entrance. hours earlier the military said elite police would swarm in. this helicopter was the only sign of that. calm on the streets, just more barricades on more roads. the interior minister declared an anti-terror operation and told everyone to stay indoors. really life is carrying on as normal here just down the road, barricades have been reinforced around the key buildings. this amateur video shows how far the anti terror operation got. just to the outskirts of town according to one senior security official who confirmed armored personnel carriers were there and shots exchanged. one ukrainian security officer

dead and others injured. where the pop song says putin will save us from fascism, the authorities have simply vanished from the town hall. the speed of change suggesting real preparation. but one man, vladimir, isn't joining the party. where are they, the mayor, the government he says? where are these people? this is madness. i'm not afraid. i built this country. my father fought to defend it. now they want to drag us back to the stone age. the police station was last night run by this captain, but now under the control of pro russians. here is how that happened. the captain tries to stop these men dressed the same as militants in slavyansk. i'm pre russian, an afghan veteran one policeman cries. they're pushed aside. shots in the air.

the captain tries again, but fruitlessly. more shooting. after weeks of restraint and as ukraines beleaguered leaders measure how hard they can respond, gunfire is becoming the new language of this crisis. nick paton walsh, cnn, slavyansk. still to come in the "newsroom," a suspect accused of going on a deadly rampage at two jewish centers just before passover. george howell is covering that story for us. he'll have it next. voice ] yes? lactaid® is 100% real milk? right. real milk. but it won't cause me discomfort. exactly, no discomfort, because it's milk without the lactose. and it tastes? it's real milk! come on, would i lie about this? hello.

known as glenn miller, has ties to white supremacistless. he apparently has his own website and the southern poverty law center describes him as a long-time anti-semite. a police chaplain was told by witnesses he seemed chilling and deliberate. >> he apparently is an older gentleman and was asking people before he shot them if they were jewish or not. >> reporter: one family member shared her story during an emotional vigil to honor the victims. >> i'm the daughter of the gentleman who was killed, and i'm the mother of the son who was killed. i got to tell both of them today that i loved them. i was the last person in the family who saw them. i just appreciate you being here. it's very helpful to me. that's just how i grieve. thank you. >> reporter: just people going about their day, then forced to take cover and get on the ground and go into locker rooms and get

the search for flight 370

has now gone deep under water. search teams believe the black boxes are dead. they're sending out an unmanned submersible to scan the ocean floor. itis a painstaking process. searchers only managed to narrow the search area to the size of los angeles, still they're expressing hope. cnn's randi kaye looks at how investigations into three plane crashes turned after black boxes were recovered. >> reporter: in july 2000, air france flight takes off from paris. this terrifying video shows the plane on fire as it leaves the runway. the control tower radios the pilots. 45 90, you have strong flames behind you. moments later they crash into a hotel killing all 109 on board. the plane's black boxes are recovered. >> translator: both boxes are in

good state, to be decrypted, we have to understand what the data means. >> reporter: the cockpit voice recorder unveils the pilot's last words. the copilot tells the captain to land at a nearby airport. his response? too late. the black boxes also reveal a catastrophic fire in one engine and a loss of power in another. air france flight 447 caught in a powerful storm and rolling to the right. it is june 2009, a flight from rio to paris. 228 people on board. the plane begins to fall 10,000 feet per minute and crashes into the atlantic belly first killing everyone. >> this is what we're looking for. in the middle of the atlantic ocean. >> reporter: two years later they find the black boxes deep in the ocean. before the recovery it was thought the plane's speed sensors were to blame, but the black boxes reveal the pilots

were at fault. a transcript from the cockpit voice recorder shows confusion in the cockpit. we still have engines. what the hell is happening one copilot asks? another copilot says climb, climb, climb. then the captain, no, no, no, don't climb. in february 2009, colgan air flight 347 3407 also stalls an disappears off radar. >> look out your right side about five miles for a dash eight, should be 430. do you see anything there? >> reporter: the plane's speed drops dangerously low. it begins to dive in heavy snow. the pilot over corrects, a fatal mistake. >> obviously the initial reaction to the stall warning was incorrect. >> reporter: the jet crashes into a home in buffalo, new york, killing all 49 people on board. >> we put our lives in the hands of people that we assume that the faa is and the airlines are

good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you for being with me. after 38 days, the search for flight 370 now moves deep under water. for the first time the 16-foot-long unmanned submarine has been launched to scan the ocean floor for possible wreckage. the new strategy will drag out the search a lot longer. this bluefin-21 submarine takes six times as long, six times as long to search as the towed pinger locater. each mission will take 24 hours to complete. today it will only cover an area of about 15 square miles. that is about 7200 football fields, meaning the scan of the

entire search area could take up to two months. >> the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle has the potential to take us a further step towards visual identification since it offers a possible opportunity to detect debris from the aircraft on the ocean floor. i would caution you against raising hopes ha the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. it may not. however, this is the best lead we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. >> also this morning, the head of the search team says an oil slick was found in the search area, but it will figure out several more days to figure out where that oil came from. with me is cnn aviation inspector david soucie, and

aneesh patel president of seacom which makes the pingers for the black boxes. >> will, you interviewed a professor that said something extraordinary, that we know something about the surface of the moon than we do about the floor of the ocean. >> isn't that incredible, carol? there are concerns that because we know so little about what actually lies beneath, that the extreme depth that we're talking about may actually push the limits of that bluefin-21 submersible. it is rated -- the maximum it can go down is 4500 meters. that's how deep the water is in this area. for reason it's even deeper, if our estimates are incorrect, they might have to bring in different submersible which will take quite a long time. we'll find out when this thing comes up. maybe this time tomorrow we'll have more information about how it looks down there. >> right now this tiny submarine is under water, will, right? tomorrow we expect to have some

sort of data? >> reporter: what happens is a full mission takes about 24 hours, two hours down, it scans the bottom of the ocean using the side scan sonar and two hours to get back up. while that is happening, everybody on the ship is basically sitting and waiting. there's no realtime data exchange. once the submersible comes back up on the ship, it takes about four hours to download everything. that's when they start poring over all the data. >> david, this unmanned sub is tiny, 16 feet long, 21 inches wide. it's been used only once before for this kind of operation, but not under these circumstances. that seems concerning to me. >> it is, particularly in this depth because at that range you'd be about 1500 meters off the bottom of the ocean. so that's not a very good range. what we get back is not going to be a very detailed and specific read. so tles there's going to be have to be another phase of this. that is when the data gets back onto the ship, they're talking

about turning it back around again. i wouldn't expect that. they'll have to do some data analysis off the bat before they send it back down. the reason is they may have to change the payload from a sonar into a photography unit. at that point i'm not sure if they'll be able to get close enough to get photos with that particular bluefin. >> let's explain that further. right now it's scanning the ocean floor and it's, in essence, taking pictures. the submarine has to come up and the information has to be downloaded on the ship, and that takes about two hours for them to see any pictures. is that right, david? >> yes, that's right. again, at that point what they probably will not do -- i'm not there, but what they probably will do at that point is do some analysis on that data before they put bluefin back in the water again. they'll be changing batteries on it, getting it prepared for its next mission. along with that they have to determined, if they find something significant that they'd like to explore, they say, hey, this looks like wreckage.

it's just a black and white picture. it's not very detailed, the sonar. remember, rocks can be confused with other parts down there as well. they have to determine that. then they can swap out the payload if they sae see something interesting and send a camera down to take high resolution photographs. >> anish, i want to ask you about the black boxes. no signals for about a week. the batteries are most likely dead. >> we said all along the unit was good for 30 days. we were happy we got a few extra days. more than likely, since they haven't heard anything in over five days, our unit has done its job. but it's gone very, very quiet. >> the other question i have, the searchers said today don't be surprised if we go down there and if we find those black boxes there won't be any debris around them. is that unusual in your mind? >> it would seem odd that the black boxes would be separate from some sort of debris field or something from the aircraft.

these are located well inside the electronic bays of the 777. for them to be, quote, unquote, ejected and not have anything else around them would seem very odd to me. >> because the black boxes are in the tail section of the plane. is that the heaviest part of the plane? >> they're designed and put there because theoretically that is the part that gets the least amount of impact depending on the type of incident or accident you have. so they specifically try to locate them away from where the brunt of the impact would be. >> will, one last question for you. the search by air for debris, has it largely ended? >> reporter: it's still under way. as you see when you look at the numbers, still a considerable number of ships out there, still around a dozen planes, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the day. but you have to imagine that as we continue to go out to these

search zones, you keep not finding any debris. at some point they're going to have to make the call to scale that back. when that will happen, that's the answer that only angus houston knows. he did say today he doesn't think the chances are good of any debris floating on the surface this far out. >> david, i lied. one last question to you then. they're losing confidence they'll find any more debris by air, they're already telling us that there might not be any debris around those black boxes, we don't know. are you still as hopeful as you were before? >> i think angus, as he has always done, has tried to manage expectations. to my knowledge, granted it's very dark and it's very difficult to search down there. it's possible they would find the black box before they find debris. in my estimation, since there's no debris on the surface, i'd speculate there would be a more solid or substantial piece on the ocean floor retaining that floatable debris.

so, yes, i'm still encouraged by it. i've never read or seen anything about a black box being entirely by itself. that's just not the way it works. >> will ripley, david soucie, anish patel, thanks to all of you. >> thank you. since the crash of air france flight 447 in 2009, investors have made new and improved versions. some black boxes that va batteries that last longers, versions that could possibly have helped speed up the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. why has the industry been so slow to embrace new technology. we'll talk about that next. you, my friend are a master of diversification. who would have thought three cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche? the same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds would go with a merging markets.

a small country in west africa is ground zero in the urgent struggle to stop what's already become one of the deadliest ebola outbreaks either. the fast-moving and deadly virus rarely makes it out of the remote forested areas of africa. but now that's changed. experts want to make sure the swift killer does not go global. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta is live in ginea. i don't want to appear insensitive. this is a very contagious disease and i do care about you. are you safe? >> reporter: we think we're safe, obviously we've taken that into consideration. thanks for asking. i think it's best to describe ebola as very infectious, but not necessarily very contagious. that means a small amount can cause an infection, but you have to spend a lot of time with somebody, sustained contact they call it, to really be at risk for infection. just behind me, carol, something

you've never seen on television. this is the isolation ward doctors without borders have set up to try to take care of these patients. as you point out, it's made its way to this capital city of 2 million people. there's an international airport here. that's the big concern. i tell you, carol, even just testing for this can sometimes be challenging. a simple blue box potentially carrying one of the most dangerous pathogens in the world on its way to be tested. in less than four hours we'll find out if he contains the ebola virus. te fate of three patients depends on what's inside. simply getting the blood samples is a life-threatening job. one of these workers told us he has a 9-month-old baby at home. they'll do everything they can to protect themselves. three pairs of gloves, booties and layer after layer of gowns. they go in to see the patients. every single inch of their body covered in permeable suits.

nothing in. nothing out. even the drop of the ebola virus that gets through a break in the skin can infect you. we all have breaks in our skin. this is the painstaking detail and process you have to go through to interact with these patients with ebola. this is as close as we can get. they're decontaminating themselves. they've take ten blood vessels and put them in the ice chest. it's highly suspicious it contains ebola. they suit up next. they've been handed the blue boxes. it's their job to test the sam for the deadly virus. they'll have results just two hours from now. a few years ago being able to test for ebola on its own turf was impossible. blood samples had to be taken out of remote areas in central africa and flown to the cdc in atlanta or who. pilots would sometimes refuse to fly the dangerous pathogens.

even if they did, it could take days or weeks to get the results. 8:00 p.m., we get the call. >> two of these are positive. >> two of the three patients now have confirmed ebola. >> reporter: one thing to point out, from the time a person is exposed to when they get sick can range from two to 21 days, that's the incubation period. it's very important for the reasons we were talking about, a couple of days go by. could you get on an airplane and fly around the world? quite possible. it's not happened yet. that's one of the things these doctors are trying to prevent. these are the isolation wards. >> how many people survive this disease? >> reporter: you know, in the past with this particular strain of ebola, it can be up to 90%

mortal. nine out of ten patients would die from this. those are staggering statistics. the average time to death was only about ten days. so you get an idea of just how swift a killer this is. so far here, and we've been monitoring this very closely, the numbers appear around 65%. still terrible numbers in terms of percentages of death. they do seem to be having some success. getting people into these isolation areas early, getting them whatever treatment they can provide, there is no cure or specific treatment for ebola, but doing whatever they can seems to make a difference. you also have to makes sure people actually come. there's huge stigma around this disease here. if you have it, people won't take your money, they won't do any kind of business with you. people are really, really reluctant to even say they're sick. >> dr. sanjay gupta, reporting live from guinea. damaging winds, reports of tornadoes and the severe weather

threat isn't over for millions of us. drew peterson has more for you. >> storms continue to push across the country. we'll talk about who has the threat for severe weather coming up next. i'm l-i-s-a and i have but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis,

officials are ramping up the underwater search for that missing plane. right now an unmanned sub called the blue fin 21 is scouring the ocean floor for clues. it's one of the most high tech devices on the market and officials say it could help solve this internet mystery. but just how does this technology work? >> reporter: this probe is the latest technology that could be used to find flight mh 370. it searches for things that don't belong beneath the sea. >> what is side scan sonar? an acoustic technology based on reflexes of sound rather than

reflexes of flight. >> the under water vehicle is gathering information to create a map of the sea floor. this time it's the bottom of a massachusetts reservoir. >> the side scan consists of on electronics package which is inside the vehicle. it's basically a computer that processes the data to make the pulse and to bring back the pulse and condition figure it into an image. >> it moves back and forth along the surface but some can dig deep into the ocean. sonar helps identify and find debris like the submerged car. >> once we identify the target, we do a cross pattern and we zoom in here. we pulled the sonar file, went to that location and then got a better high def image of that car. >> in the case of flight 370, it would face a number of obstacles that could stretch this entire process out for months or years. to get a real-time closeup

image, this remotely operated vehicle uses the map to visit the location. >> it's pretty choppy out here today so the visible is quite reduced. >> in the depth of the indian ocean you would probably use sonar i would imagine if the water is very deep and very dark? >> yes. >> and then perhaps the camera? >> exactly. >> reporter: once it's there it uses a camera and claws to pick up debris, bringing critical answers to the surface. the next hour of cnn newsroom starts now. happening now in the newsroom -- >> it's time to go under water. >> breaking overnight, going to the floor of the ocean. >> this is the best lead we have. >> this underwater vehicle two miles down now scanning for flight 370. threat of civil war.

drag out the search a lot longer. this bluefin 21 submarine takes six times as long to search as the towed pinger did. each mission will take 24 hours to complete. today the sub can only cover an area of about 15 square miles. the entire search area is the size of los angeles. that means the search with just the submarine could take up to two months. >> i would caution you against rising hopes, that the deployment of the autonomous underwater vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. it may not. however, this is the best lead we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. again, i emphasize that this will be a slow and painstaking process. >> also this morning, the head of the search team says an oil

slick was found in the search area, but it will take several days to figure out where that oil came from. cnn's will ripley has more on this new phase. he's in perth, australia. >> reporter: carol, things are really slowing down here in perth as you mentioned. the search chief says the bluefin 21 is now scanning the ocean floor in an area so remote it is brand new to man. the search for 370 is moving into a dark corner of the world that in some ways is more mysterious than outer space. >> we know less about our deep ocean than we know of the moon's surface. >> he and his research team took this video in the middle of the indian ocean and thinks this is what the search zone nearly three miles down could look like. >> it's dark, very cold. >> reporter: with pressure so

intense, it crushes a styrofoam cup to a fraction of its size. the missing plane is believed to be 4500 meters, nearly 15,000 feet down. >> it's flat and the saidment is silt. >> reporter: this will test the limits of the bluefin 21. >> patience, people need to have patients. >> reporter: he says one mission takes 24 hours. four hours of scan is data from the ocean floor. >> you see the traces of the outlines of the objects. >> reporter: his team also took this video of what the next step, the salvage phase would look like. under water robots would pull

pieces up, a ship would have to hoist up any large pieces. >> bottom line, it's a very, very slow process. >> reporter: a process that's just beginning, meaning flight 370 families could wait months or even years for the answers and closure they so desperately need. they have already waited so long. we are in day 38 of this search. still not one piece of physical debris from this plane. carol, we are being told not only by search teams but also by the experts that the chances of finding any debris on the water are very slim right now. >> will ripley reporting live from australia this morning. to say the underwater search is going to be slow, you heard will say it. that's an understatement. the bluefin 21 takes about two hours just to get to the ocean floor. that's two and a half miles down mind you. here's sort of how this submarine works. it uses side scan sonar to build

a picture of the ocean bed. it's equipped with a gps system and it has the ability to travel down to about two and a half miles. the maker of this device says the pressure at those depths is equivalent to having a cadillac es ka laid balance on your finger nail. hard to imagine. let's bring in the vice presidential of the tell marine systems. welcome back, tom. >> good morning. >> to say this is a complicated process is an understatement, right? >> absolutely. this is a slow, arduous task. these vehicles are incredibly sophisticated. they're designed to do this, but they're designed to do it at a very slow pace. >> we keep hearing about this side scan sonar. you were kind enough to provide us with an example of what these

images might look like. i want to put them up on the screen and have you take us through them. so what are we seeing? >> what you see is almost like -- it's called a swath from the side scan but it's almost like a highway. you have an image on the left,en an image on the right and a center hope area where you have no data in the middle. that's called the nader gap. what happens is the way the system has to work is it has to do what we call mowing the lawn. it will go forward, take data. it will come back and overlap the swath so you can fill in all the data. the thing about the bluefin and is true with all auvs, the data is collected on the vehicle, it's brought to the surface, downloaded and processed. so it's a slow process of collecting the data and processing all of this information that's collected by the vehicle. >> these pictures, this is fascinating because these are real pictures of crashes that were found underwater.

>> i think you have two. i think you have one of a world war ii plane that crashed in the harbor in iceland in around '42, '43. that's a vehicle that we use as a test for our auvs in iceland and the other is a ship that sank in world war ii also. that's about 100 meters of water. even there it's difficult to operate. that's 45 times shallower the than what you're seeing right now with the bluefin has to do. >> will the bluefin provide color images like these? >> those are false color images. all it's getting back is sound waves. you have to think about this very differently than a real photograph. a photograph you're actually seeing what at least a representation of what we see with our eyes. this is just sound waves bouncing off the material on the bottom and then return to the

sonar system and then it's just a processing problem to make it digestible by humans. this is made so that the human can visualize it. the data is really just a bunch of 1s and 0s that come back from the system. >> i'm going to ask you a completely uneducated question. when we all saw the movie "titanic. if t they could get pictures deep down in the ocean. do we have that kind of technology? >> absolutely but not on these types of vehicles. these vehicles are primarily designed to fly maybe 50 meters from the bottom of this particular survey that they're doing right now and then generate this kind of image. we are get closer to get pictures. what you saw with titanic is a row motorially operated vehicle. that vehicle is on a tether and it gets very close.

at that point you can actually start to light the environment and then take deep water video or still pictures. so that technology exists. it's been down deeper than where they think mh 370 is it but it will be some time before we get that. every step it gets slower. putting an rov down is even slower than an auv. you have to know what you're looking for. >> why aren't we using more than one bluefin? >> these are pretty rare capabilities. the u.s. navy has some vehicles, some private companies have some vehicles. this is very cutting-edge technology. it's very sophisticated and expensive. >> thanks for those images. it made it much easier to understand. thank you so much. >> thank you. as the strategy shifts in

the indian ocean it becomes even more important to find those black boxes. malaysia's transportation minister said until the flight recorders are located it's difficult to clear the passengers and crew of any wrongdoing. i know what you are saying, what? because it wasn't long ago that malaysia's inspector general, the police, cleared all the passengers. left hand. >> as we have said earlier, only the passengers have been cleared. the rest, no. >> fast forward to sunday when these comments were made from malaysia's acting transportation minister. >> there is an ongoing thing. i don't think that he would have meant that they've all been cleared. unless we find more information specifically on data in the black box, i don't think any chief of police would be in a position to say that they have been cleared. >> so we're in kuala lumpur with

more. >> reporter: there appears to be a disconnect between the agencies here. that's been a problem from the very beginning. the acting transport minister tried to explain that flip-flop saying he actually thinks the police chief was trying to say nobody on board had a suspicious background, not that they had been cleared from the investigation. of course he went on to say nobody can be cleared from the investigation until those key black boxes have been found. authorities have questioned about 205 people so far. mostly family members of those on board and the investigation continues. they're looking at four main angles here, carol. they're looking at hijacking, terrorism, personal problems, and psychological problems. but i must also add, carol, that it's not just the malaysian authorities who are here investigating. there are many other agencies involved, also representatives

from companies like boeing. you've also got the fbi, the ntsb. this is a massive operation, massive investigation and not much information is really coming out from anywhere because authorities say that could jeopardize the investigation. carol? >> thanks so much. still to come in the newsroom, a suspect accused of going on a deadly rampage at two jewish centers. why are investigators calling this a hate crime? we'll talk about that next.

a white supremacist has been identified as the suspect in a deadly shooting rampage outside of a kansas city jewish community center in a jewish retirement home. the suspect is 73-year-old glen frazier miller. police said he first killed his grandfather and grandson and drove a mile and killed a third victim. this morning president obama spoke about the attack at an easter breakfast. >> this morning are prayers are with the people of overland park. we're still learning the details but that much we know. a gunman opened fire at two jewish facilities, a community center and a retirement home. innocent people were killed. their families were devastated. this violence has struck at the heart of the jewish community in kansas city. two of the victims, a

grandfather and his teenage son attended the united methodist church of the resurrection which is led by our friend, reverend hamilton. during my inauguration reverend hamilton delivered the prayer and i was grateful for his words. he joined us at our breakfast last year and at the easter service for palm sunday last night he had to break this terrible news to his congregation. that this occurred now as jews were preparing to celebrate passover, as christians were observing palm sunday, makes this tragedy all the more painful and today as passover begins, we're seeing a number of synagogues and jewish community centers take added security precautions. nobody should have to worry about their security when

gathering with their fellow believers. no one should have to fear for their safety when they go to pray. as a government, we're going to provide whatever assistance is needed to support the investigation. as americans, we not only need to open our hearts to the families of the victims, we've got to stand united against this kind of terrible violence which has no place in our society. we have to keep coming together. >> that we do. with me evan bernstein with the anti-defamation league. welcome. >> hello. >> thank you for being here on a difficult day. the suspect, frazier glen miller, yelled heil hitler from the police car after his arrest. listen. >> heil hitler! >> after that is there any doubt in your mind that this is a hate crime? >> i think it's very hard not to start seeing this as a hate

crime. it's certainly an anti-symmetric incident when you have two jewish institutions that are targeted, you have the person that is a known white supremacist for over 30 years spouting off his views against jews and other minority groups and obviously what we just heard out of the back of the squad car, i think it's getting closer and closer, i'm sure, to law enforcement making that official claim. >> it makes you sick, doesn't it? >> it does, it does. we put out a report, the anti-defamation league last week, warning institutions about the potential like this. to actually see it happen is such a tragedy for the entire jewish community but specifically kansas city and that jewish community and the general community that's been effected by this. >> going back to the suspect for just a second and you mentioned some of his background. he's a founder and former leader

of the carolina knights of the ku klux klan. he was caught by the fbi with a stock pile of deadly weapons. in other words, he's long been involved in this business of hate. were you aware of him? >> we were aware of him. i know other organizations were but the anti-defamation league definitely knew about him. it's very hard. we track people and it's hard to know when specifically they're going to potentially do something like this. again, he is a suspect. he's not guilty until he's proven guilty. similar situations at the hall kaus museum in washington there was a similar incident. it shows that one person with the mind-set of that kind of hate can really damage a community in the deepest way. >> i know that your organization sent out a warning to jewish

organizations across the united states at this very sensitive time. has there been a significant spike in these kinds of attacks? >> unfortunately throughout history jews have been a target around the holidays. we always feel it's necessary for jewish organizations to try to ramp up security in the best way they possibly can to protect themselves. it's something we unfortunately have to do on an annual basis. now because of what happened we really hope that institutions across the united states really use this horrible tragedy as a learning experience and can look at their own systems they've in place, emergency evacuation systems and other security systems to make sure that god forbid this does happen that the least amount of casualties or harm can come to their people. >> evan bernstein, thanks so

much for being with me. i appreciate it. >> thank you. still to come, pro russia activists in ukraine dig in their heels as a key deadline passes. and voters may be forced to choose what kind of country they belong to. we'll be right back. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms.

a bit of developing news to tell you about right now. we were just talking about the tragedy in kansas where those three people were killed at two separate jewish community centers, allegedly by a white

supremacist. the u.s. attorney general has now ordered the shootings be investigated as a possible federal hate crime. we'll keep you posted. in other news this morning, prorussia demonstrators in ukraine show no sign of ending their standoff. protestors forced police out of a new building in eastern ukraine. they set fires in break out windows and one man who was severely beaten had to be taken away by ambulance. this comes as a deadline passes for those activists to lay down their arms and surrender from the two other building they occupy. senior international correspondent nick peyton walsh is in ukraine. >> reporter: a messy response from the ukraine government. they set a deadline for the protestors to put down their arms. the kiev threats was they would then send in the army. we've seen very little sign of that happening at all, in fact little sign of the ukrainian government or law enforcement at

all. now almost ten towns where these pro russia protestors have taken over. there's clearly division where some political leaders are saying there shouldn't be a military intervention and others saying it's time for the military to step up resistance. the question where is that singular leadership from the government in kiev? across eastern ukraine violence is the new language of protest. fir officials warning that the threat of civil war looms closer than ever. the russian ambassador is calling the situation very dangerous, placing the responsibility for avoiding war on the west. in ukraine's second largest city sunday prorussia activists show severe beatings.

militants are taking over government building. this was the scene where the police station was stormed on saturday. one policeman is pushed aside. shots in the air. the station is occupied now by militants, surrounded by barricades. a ukraine security officer was filled and another injured in a shoot-out apparently with militants. the pro-russian groups well armed and organized in uniform, ready to use their weapons. they say to disarm or face a full scale terrorist occupation. a curious other development, too, the interim president suggested perhaps a referendum

might be offered here to decide the fate of eastern ukraine. oddly enough it will be held on the same day as presidential elections to both choose a new president but also determine what that president will be president of. we're waiting to see what kiev's main move is here. do they use force, continue to negotiate? of course all eyes are across the border to moscow and the pro-russian protestors. still to come in the newsroom, as the search for flight 370 moves deeper under water we'll look at what kind of conditions the bluefin-21 will have to deal with. tom foreman is live in washington. good morning. >> good morning carol. the conditions will be very different than anything we've seen so far in this search and in every way more daunting. carol?

the search for missing flight 370 has now moved 13,000 feet under water. this bluefin-21 submarine will take nearly six times as long to search as the towed pinger locator did. each mission will take nearly 24 hours to complete. today the sub will cover an area of about the size of 7200

football fields which sounds like a lot but really it isn't. tom foreman is live in washington. good morning, tom. >> hi, carol. we've been saying that once this goes under water it's going to be a much slower and more meticulous and cover a lot less ground. we had the towed pinger which was airline to go at a fairly good speed. now we're looking at the bluefin. yeah, this thing has to crawl along here. it's operating at a depth, carol, that is much lower than what is typically used for this. it can reach down to two and a half miles and it's going to be right at that range here where it's operating. typically you would see these a lot more on coastal shelf areas, carol, where it would be down 1,000 feet, something like that. in that circumstance they may be able to work a fleet of them, several working at once together, although that's rarely attempted, but at this level they get it down to its limit of performance and see if they can

get this mapping under way to get a very clear picture of the ocean floor if it all goes properly, carol. >> if it all goes properly. just to reiterate it takes, what, two hours just to get down two and a half miles under water, right? >> yeah. >> then it will be down there for like 16 hours or something like that? >> right. >> two hours to go back up to the surface and then what happens? >> then like four hours to unload all the information from it. one of the things i really want to stress here because it's very important, this depends entirely on this, the surface of the water. i was talking to somebody who is very experienced with these and he was telling me, he said, look, if you do not have the right circumstances up here on top of the water, this is an inherently hazardous job. offloading it is difficult to make sure you don't damage the instrument, the ship, hurt anyone on board. these are notoriously rough seas

up here and this can pose a big challenge. >> we'll see if we have anything tomorrow. thanks. the bluefin-21 can travel two and a half miles below the ocean surface around the depths that those electronic signals were recorded nearly a week ago. to put this in perspective though, that's deeper than the location of the titanic wreckage. my next guest led an expedition to the titanic. he's an ocean search specialist, ron mccalum. he's joined us before. welcome back. >> good morning. >> you've done some fascinating stuff. you actually called your dive to the titanic the technical equivalent of a space walk. why? >> because we know so little about interspace, the deeper part of the world's oceans.

so it is the equivalent of exploring the interspace of our own planet. >> it seems to move along so slowly. is it frustratinfrustrating? >> it is frustrating. sonar is deployed in one of two ways, either an auv or a towed slid. auvs are very good in some applications for getting high resolution imagery of small areas but a towed away would produce perhaps 100 miles a day rather than the 15 we're expecting from the bluefin. >> you traveled down to see the titanic in something different than the bluefin-21. the director, james cameron, he made 12 trips to the wreckage in a different kind of submarine that was able to take pictures. so why aren't they using this kind of technology to search for flight 370? >> well, the first job in the underwater phase of this search

is to scan the ocean floor. to do that you use sonar or sound acoustics to provide imagery of the sea floor. then once you've gained imagery of the sea floor you can use that to actually locate the wreck. you would see it clearly outlined on the sea floor. then you can deploy either a robot or a manned vehicle to go down and take pictures and investigate. >> this kind of technology we're looking at right now can go to extraordinary depths. the bluefin, i'm not so sure. is it possible for that submirrorsable to go down three miles if need be? >> that's a question for the manufacturer and i know that he's looking at that because of course bluefin is operating at the very edge of her operating range, but there are some engineering factors in there and

they may be able to extend that. 4.5 thousand meters is the middle of the world that we typically operate. our average depth is anywhere between 4,000 and 6,000 meters so down to 20,000 feet. >> many thanks. >> thank you. still to come in the newsroom, imagine searching for a laptop computer in a place the size of manhattan. now imagine doing it in total darkness. that's the kind of challenge search crews are up against as they scour the deep sea for that plane. we'll talk more about that when i come back. me financial guidane so she could take her dream to the next level. so we talked about her options. her valuable assets were staying. and selling her car wouldn't fly. we helped sydney manage her debt and prioritize her goals, so she could really turn up the volume on her dreams today...and tomorrow. so let's see what we can do about that... remodel. motorcycle. [ female announcer ] some questions take more than a bank. they take a banker. make a my financial priorities appointment today.

because when people talk, great things happen.

the answer to what happened to malaysia airlines flight 370 could be miles under the water. officials believe those four

pings detected by search crews last week could be from one of the plane's black boxes more than 13 thousand feet deep. to put it into perspective, you would pass the statue of liberty, the eiffel tower and the tallest building on the way down, a journey well worth it though because the kind of information in those black boxes could give us all sorts of answers. let's bring in kevin bayless. welcome, kevin. >> thank you, carol. >> your company provides reports from the black boxes. how does that process work? >> we basically get the data from the flight data recorders with the equipment that we have through the aircraft side. then we download the data from the flight recorders and perform the reasonableness test. it's really the first step in this process. it's important because it's verifying that we have a good baseline that the aircraft is recording the -- the flight recorder is recording information from the aircraft properly. then in a case like this, we

know that we have a high degree of certainty that the data being recorded is reasonable. >> so there are two black boxes. tell us what information comes out of each. >> sure. there's two black boxes, the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. the cockpit voice recorder records the audio. there's four channels, one channel for each of the pilot's headset. then in this case a very important area mic. the area mic is crucial because it will allow investigators to hear what was being said in the cockpit when there was no communication going back and forth between the towers which we know there was a minimal amount of communication going back. the other recorder is a flight data recorder. that records the surface on the aircraft, engine parameters, altitude air speed, a host of warning systems. that gives us more technical

insight into what was happening on the aircraft and the condition of the aircraft while it was flying. >> so these black boxes could be miles underneath the water and they've been there for a month now. is it possible for them to become so damaged you can't recover any information? >> well, the recorders will not function again. they will never fly again, but the data on the recorders are stored on memory chips. those memory chips can be pulled off that recorder and put on a functioning system in the lab and then the data retrieved. i'm sure they're going to go through quite a bit of pretesting and drying out and there are precautionary measures so make sure they're not damaging anything when they apply power to the chips. >> so the information is just a tiny little chip in the back of the black box? >> the whole intent of the black box is to save the data. the box will not survive other than the data, the memory chips.

back when they first came out they were on tape. that's primarily the reason why you see when they pull recorders from oceans or water they keep them submerged in tape. that's back from the days when they needed to keep that tape moist before they got it to the lab and started the drying out process. now they're solid state chips. i've heard of cases where these chips have actually became so hot in a slow burn fire that the saweder melted off the chips. the chips fell to the bottom of the canister and the engineers and the manufacturers of the recorders were able to take those chips, put them back into a bread board and get that data without a problem. >> that's amazing. kevin bayless, thanks so much for your insight. i appreciate it. >> thank you, carol. still to come in the newsroom, new and improved patents for black boxes but the industry seems to be dragging its feet. zain asher is looking into that.

the dow ts doing a happy dance this morning but for how long? let's check in with allison kosik. good morning. >> it was red arrows most of last week. that losing streak that the dow

had five of the past seven sessions, we are seeing momentum today partly thanks to a better than expected report on retail sales in march. as the weather got warmer, people got out and spent money. that's good for business and the economy and partly thanks to solid earnings from citigroup reporting its first quarter earnings. it beat expectations on both profit and revenue on the first quarter. the dow is up 106 points. we'll see if those green arrows can last, certainly a better monday than we had all week last week. >> thanks so much. the search for flight 370 not the first one where investigators have spent significant time trying to locate black boxes. it took nearly two years after air france flight 447 crashed into the atlantic ocean before crews were able to bring up the plane's recorders. that 2009 crash sparked a surge of patents for finding lost

planes. what happened to all those patents? cnn's zain asher joins us with a look at some of these technology. >> reporter: since air france 447 crashed you're seeing hundreds of engineers coming from massive corporations like l3 and honey well, others quote unquote mom and pop inventors trying to create a way for black boxes to be retrieved faster. honey well has created a way of capturings the audio in the cockpit and converting it intex and if there was an merge or warning it would send the last let's say 15 or 20 minutes of transcript to computers on the ground. even though the cockpit voice recorder would take months or years to retrieve investigators would have something to work with in the meantime. given that air france 447 crashed partly because of pilot error, one inventor was actually motivated to create an app that

would allow pilots to review and monitor their performance after every single flight. you can see the video right there. the app would draw on different parameters like the speed, the altitude, the acceleration of the aircraft and outside factors like the weather, turbulence, wind speed and as soon as the pilot lands it would send a report straight to their phone. lastly, one that i did find particularly interesting was engineering at l3 who created a way to wirelessly monitor the health of the batteries located in the black box pingers. so, yes, again, a lot of inventors and engineers rushing to create, quote, unquote, the black box of the future, especially motivated after the crash of france 447. >> is any of this being used in the airline industry? >> reporter: cost is certainly a factor with this. two of them are patents. the all app has created but patents take a long time to be

approved. one of the inventors i spoke to last night told me that his patent took two and a half years to get approved and cost is certainly a factor as well. the airline industry is not going to be motivated to make changes unless it's mandated by the government. >> zain asher, thanks so much. i'll be right back. we strive for the moments where we can say, "i did it!" ♪ we are entrepreneurs who started it all... with a signature. legalzoom has helped start over 1 million businesses, turning dreamers into business owners. and we're here to help start yours.

>> this is the first masters weekend with no tiger woods or phil mickelson in 20 years. anyone who thought it was going to be boring didn't have to worry because they had bubba watson. he's a country kid who charms fans and he plays what he likes to call freak golf, long shots and crazy types of putts to get him to this position so he's entertaining on the course and, hey, he's a university of georgia guy so he's popular down in augusta, a very sweet moment at the end with his son kay lib. he's been open about the fact that he and his wife went through a four-year struggle to adopt caleb. the idea that he was able to toddle onto that course, this child that they wanted so badly was able to be there with them, what a sweet and special moment. >> what a cutie. another moment i especially loved was how bubba watson and his family celebrated after the

big win. >> come on, you are going to do something as fancy and official as the masters, you're going to have to go to the waffle house, right? bubba tweeted this amazing photo of himself and it is in keeping with who he is. i mentioned he's a country kid. he said he always loves that he's on these super fancy courses and a guy named bubba is walking around them. his mom had to work two jobs to pay for his golf lessons. he has not forgotten where he has come from and he celebrated with hash browns at waffle house. a couple years ago phil mickelson went to krispy kreme to celebrate his win. are you a waffle house person or a krispy kreme person? that's how you can decide who your favorite golfer is. >> is the tiger woods era over? >> i don't think we're going to see as dominant a tiger woods as we had but you just want him to

get through these injuries. you certainly hope he can win at least one more, maybe a couple. he would like four more to break jack nicklaus's record. we'll have to see, he's 38 years old. >> thank you for joining me. @this hour with berman and michaela starts right now. the listening ends, under water scanning begins, marking a new phase in the hunt for flight 370. also a suspect with a history of hate, this man accused of going on a deadly rampage, killing three people, two of them in kansas. pro-russian protestors refuse to abandon the government buildings that they've been occupying, in fact, they've taken over another one. >> hi there, i'm one
