tv   Justice With Judge Jeanine  FOX News  April 5, 2014 6:00pm-7:01pm PDT

6:00 pm
while a lot more victims no longer can. that's it for now. this is mike huckabee from new york. good night. and god bless. stay tuned for "justice with judge jeanine." developments tonight in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. could this be it? hello and welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. thanks for being with us. tonight, china's government-run news agency is reporting one of their ships detected a poll signal in the southern waters of the indian ocean. reporter roger maynar joins us from sydney. what is the latest on this reported signal? >> reporter: the latest is the signal has a frequency of 37.5 kilohertz per second, which is significantly the same as that emitted by a black box flight recorder.
6:01 pm
now, the chinese ship picked up the signal about 25 degrees south latitude, 101 degrees east longitude, which is a little bit north of the current search area. three people on board that ship heard the signal. but they came so rapidly that they weren't able to record them. so there's a little bit of a question mark over those signals. but the xinhua news agency, the chinese news agency, emphasized that it's yet to be established whether it's relating to the missing jet. however, it's clearly an interesting development and just could conceivably help to pinpoint the location of mh-370. >> and how seriously are people taking this report? >> reporter: well, i think it's fair to say that the authorities here in australia are erring on the side of caution. the orchestrator of the search
6:02 pm
said the pulse couldn't be verified at this stage but added the characteristics of the pulse were consistent with an aircraft black box. now, significantly the company that makes these black boxes, which makes the detection system of black boxes, says it will be very unusual for a signal like this to be picked up in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a large ocean like this unless, the spokesman says, it's another vehicle or another beacon in the same vicinity, which was doubtful, he said. but at the same time would be a really positive sign. so the black box flight people are treating it fairly seriously. but no one is confirming either way. >> and at the same time, the search continues to find any sign of debris, roger, from the plane. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: well, interestingly, the ship -- rather one of the aircraft reported a number of white objects being sighted on the ocean's surface 50 miles from the current detection area.
6:03 pm
however, like a pinging noise, there's no confirmation that the signals or the wreckage are related to the missing aircraft. meanwhile, the search continues here today. it's sunday here in australia and we've got as many as 12 aircraft flying over the search area. 13 ships have also joined the mission. so among the ships are two vessels, on australian ocean vessel and a british ocean vessel which are trailing the u.s. navy detector device which is able to -- or has the capability to pick up the pings from the flight recorder if they are out there. now, this is a very long piece of -- it's being towed along -- >> roger, thanks so much. and joining me now, the director of duquesne sea calm, the
6:04 pm
company that makes the pingers attached to the black boxes. let's start with a ping itself, how does this thing work? >> i'm holding the pinger here. and basically once this area of the switch gets wet, it starts to emit a pulse and it emits a pulse every second at the 37.5 kilohertz frequency. >> that's supposedly what they heard at that frequency, is that correct, chris? >> yes, that's what they're reporting. though how they've reported they heard it is really not consistent in what the unit should be doing. you should hear a consistent ping every second. >> well, i think what they did say was that they heard the ping for 90 seconds and then it stopped. what does that tell you? >> well, the unit, as the battery life goes on, it will degrade. it won't cut off. so you'd hear almost as you get closer to the unit, it gets louder. as you move away from it, it
6:05 pm
would get loefr. same thing, as the battery gets weaker and weaker, the signal degrades. it wouldn't necessarily be a cut-off. it would just get less audible by the listening devices. >> so you're saying that it constantly pings, that it wouldn't stop? >> it pings every sing until the battery is depleted. >> so the statement that it was pinging for 90 seconds and then stopped is not consistent, in your mind, manufacturing these things as a ping from a black box, is that correct? >> that's correct. it is on the correct frequency. but listening to the ping is subject to the seawater and the hydrophones and where they're actually looking. if their hydrophone moved out of position quickly, they could lose the signal and that would sound like an abrupt stop. >> let's assume it is a ping from a black box.
6:06 pm
is there any way to confirm that a particular ping is from a boeing 777 let alone from flight 370 that we're looking for? >> no. the pings are universal and they're on the specific frequency so that all units can look for it or all rescuers can look for it. so it won't pinpoint what plane it is. but if you look at the area that's in there, there shouldn't be any other noise on that frequency. >> the final question, why are these pings built to last for just 30 days, give or take a few days? >> well, back when the original tso, the faa standards, 30 days was deemed enough time to locate an aircraft. unfortunately in the past five, seven years, we've seen that searches in deep water or difficult area have taken significantly longer. there is a new regulation that goes into effect in 2015 that
6:07 pm
the pingers must last for 90 days. >> i can't imagine that they wouldn't want that. and it's not as if the oceans are getting deeper. chris, thanks for being with us tonight. >> thank you, judge. >> with me now, fox news military analyst and retired navy pilot, captain chuck nash. captain, what's your take on reports coming out of china about the pulse signal? >> well, judge, it's very unique that the significant has been identified as being on the right frequency. and the word that gets my attention is pulse because it is a ping, it is as your previous guest just discussed. and it is constant. it is a constant ping every one second. so if they did hear that -- and i say if, because there could be some confusion and quite frankly the chinese have not been either very forthcoming or very accurate in what they've said to this date. but if they did in fact hear
6:08 pm
something on 37.5 and it was 90 seconds worth of consistent ping, maybe what happened is their sensor did move out of the area or maybe moved in a different part of the water where the signal was blocked. and it can be blocked because of various water conditions. so it is possible. but by this point, we should have had airplanes on scene dropping sona buoys, listening for it. if they don't find it with that kind of effort after original detection, i'm going to become more skeptical. >> captain, the way you answered the question in the beginning suggests the answer to my next question, which is, can we trust what we're hearing from the chinese? >> i think everybody wants to be helpful. the chinese have the most number of citizens of any country aboard the aircraft. they would dearly love to find it as a matter of national pride. they're looking in an area that's interesting because it's where no one else is looking. >> yes, it's about 100 miles
6:09 pm
from where they were scheduled to search on april 5th. >> right. so maybe it was an area where they were in transit to the proper area or maybe they just decided to go off on their own and look in this particular area. but it's just interesting that they alone were there and happened to find this 90 seconds worth of pulse signal. >> captain, assuming that there was no interference, sit possible that these signals might be something other than from a ping in a black box? >> no. i would go with your previous guest who's the real expert on this. when the batteries start to wear out, it just gets to be a weaker and weaker signal but it still pings every second. it's just that the signal is not as strong. it's like when your garage door opener battery starts going, you keep pushing it. it's sending a signal, it just can't penetrate the door to get to the sensor. >> assuming they find the black box, it will have what inside of it, captain? >> well, there's a cockpit voice
6:10 pm
recorder and a flight data recorder. the cockpit voice recorder is going to have two hours of the -- the last two hours that were recorded. then unfortunately it records over itself every two hours. >> so if it records over itself, it's quite possible that the plane continued for seven hours -- that maybe there's nothing if it were on autopilot -- that we would be able to capture, is that correct? >> absolutely. but if anyone had been alive in that cabin and that person is flipping switches or adjusting themselves in their seat, these are incredibly sensitive microphones. they're going to pick it up and we'll know that in fact someone was alive in the cockpit. and based on the switches and everything, they can listen to that and actually diagnose what switches were flipped and which levers were being moved. it's pretty interesting sound analysis. >> and there's nothing about being under water for long periods of time that will affect
6:11 pm
the contents of flight data recorder or the voicebox -- whatever it's called, in the black box? >> no, i don't think so, especially the period of time that we're talking about now. you should be able to leave it down there for several years at least because these are all sealed systems and the flight data recorder especially, it's got -- it's sucking all the information off the aircraft data buses. so it has what that airplane had been doing for probably the previous 24, 25 hours. >> and finally, captain, do you believe that this might be the black box or ping to a black box on flight 370? >> if, big if. if the chinese are correct that they in fact heard something on 37.5 for 90 seconds and it was pulsed, then that is the biggest tipper that we've received so far in this whole investigation other than the satellite company saying they definitely went south. >> all right. captain nash, thanks so much for being with us tonight. >> my pleasure, judge.

6:15 pm
weeks of searching, first here, then there, then way over there. and all we've actually found is junk floating in the ocean. why is it so hard to track down this plane? and how do they come up with these search areas? with me now, former commercial airline pilot j.p. christiani. good evening. >> good evening. >> they report a pulse was found about -- they say 1,000 miles from perth. 932 miles, i should say, from perth. what is the significance of the pulse? >> it's no big deal about the distance. the significance is we don't have debris. we have a ping. we have an actual device that is
6:16 pm
transmitting from a part of the aircraft. that's better than debris. debris, that doesn't mean there's a wreck. the wreck could be 1,000 miles away. >> the fact that it's a ping. everybody's talking about 37.5 kilohertz. >> kilohertz. >> does that mean something special to you? >> yes, it does because there's only one device that i know that emits that frequency and that's this emergency locater. now, if someone wants to mix that up with oceanographics and the song of the whale's call or the tortoise's mating call, they could give you thousands of them. but i'm hopeful this is the sound coming out of that flight data recorder. >> my previous guest told me with this ping from a black box -- and they manufacture the pinger -- that it continuously pings and that it gets a little weaker in frequency as time goes on. they only heard this for 90
6:17 pm
seconds. what does that tell you? >> well, it could have been obscure. they could have ocean currents down there that are moving it. in other words, say the flight data recorder was free of the aircraft. it might be rolling along with the currents. so that might be affecting its being able to send up a signal. it might be obscured, dirt, silt, the aircraft itself, the fuselage could be rolling. >> once you're at the ping location, assuming that we -- can we confirm it is a ping at some point? >> at some point in time, a voice imprint is going to say, that is the frequency and the likelihood of it being anything coming out of that ocean is 90% against. >> 90% against if it's -- >> that is, it is the ping, it is that defined ping. >> let's assume that it is there. what happens? who ends up coming here searching for that ping and -- or the black box and how do they do it? >> i don't care whose ship it is -- >> i'm curious.
6:18 pm
is it a team? >> of course it is. this is a closely held international theme. by law, it is malaysia in international waters. you as an attorney know that -- >> we have to tell our viewers. >> who has jurisdiction. they're not going to worry about who has the jurisdiction. we want to get a ship out there with that torpedoike device that trows along the bottom of the ocean. there it is, the bluefin 21. this is a deep submersible. >> they say this indian ocean is like two miles deep. how deep could this -- how deep does that go? >> this goes 20,000 feet. the indian ocean varies between 13,000. if it's in a trempnch, it coulde as deep as 20,000. you want to be hopeful, optimistic about it. this can go down there.
6:19 pm
this is the type of device that found 447 in the atlantic ocean at 13,000 feet. so hopefully -- this is what we have to bring out and fortunately america has this in place, in position, put it on whatever ship can get out there the fastest, if you have a definitive ping coming up from that ocean. and then you start trawling the bottom and see the image come up. >> j.p., thanks for sharing your expertise with us. >> my pleasure. coming up, if wreckage is found in international waters, who's in charge of the investigation? become very popular. because when you buy the new samsung galaxy s5 on verizon, you get a second samsung galaxy s5 for free. so, who ya gonna give it to? maybe your brother could use it to finally meet a girl. your mom, but isn't your love reward enough? its not. maybe your roommate, i mean you pretty much share everything else. hey. your girlfriend. just do not tell her it was free. whoever you choose, you'll both get the best devices

6:22 pm
reports of a chinese ship possibly locating a ping from the black box brings new hope of finally finding that missing
6:23 pm
flight 370. with me, commercial pilot and fox news aviation analyst robert mark. robert, what do you make of today's news about this pulse and the ping? >> i'm riding the line right in the middle there, judge, because on the one hand, i'm so excited that we've heard something that gives us something definite that we've needed for over a month. and as your earlier guest said, the chances are slim that it's something else that we're hearing. now, of course, we don't know for certain that it's this airplane. but i'm hopeful on that. the downside, though, to me is if this has actually been identified as the location -- potential location, i'm just surprised there aren't some other aircraft or something already dropping buoys or circling the area. >> it's very interesting. one of my other guests mentioned the same thing. and right now, we know that it's daylight over there in australia. they're 12 hours ahead of us, eastern time anyway.
6:24 pm
and everyone is pretty much saying the same thing. could it be, robert, that they're trying to figure out who's going to bring what or who's going to be in charge? what country is actually in charge of the recovery and the investigation? >> well, of course, the international civil aviation organization, the u.n. arm of our aviation industry dictate that is it is the malaysians who are in charge. but they can easily give up that particular direction to any country that wants to help. but again, at this point, i just don't understand why we're not seeing a little more action in that area. >> well, you say the malaysians will in charge. i imagine the chinese governm t government, since its vessel first heard the ping, would be anxious to get there themselves, given the fumbling -- and no one would disagree that it has happened by the malaysian investigation. >> oh, i don't think there's any doubt about that.
6:25 pm
this last month of investigation has been a bit of a circus. and i'm probably being nice. >> you don't have to be nice. >> but seriously, i think at this point whoever gets there first and identifies this, yes or no, is going to be who's going to pull it up -- i'm sorry, pinpoint it. >> but what i've heard so far is that the yellow -- whatever it's called -- >> the submersible? >> yeah, the submersible, there's one that's owned by the united states. i suspect that we, because we have the most advanced technology, are going to be bringing that out? we probably have carriers out there. how long do you think it would take to get that particular search vehicle there? >> well, i'm not sure which ship has the -- this probe for the pinger on it. but even at full speed, even a destroyer probably isn't going to do much more than about 15
6:26 pm
knots. so depending on how far away it is, it could take until tomorrow until it gets there. >> all right. but if the pulse, robert, is not detected again, then what happens? >> you know what, this is the strongest signal of anything that we have had, let's face it, over the last month, we have found more junk in the water that has turned out to be useless. and i think we'd have to be crazy not to say that this area deserves a little more attention even if perhaps in a week or ten days we find out that we can't locate anything. >> all right. but this part of the ocean, robert, is over two miles deep. you've got ridges and valleys. how can that affect the search and the recovery? can the ocean floor swallow up the evidence? >> i think that's absolutely possible. we got lucky with the air france aircraft. and, again, all we needed was that one clue to give us the
6:27 pm
essential location of the crash. and then it took them two years to raise those black boxes. >> wow. >> they basically combed the bottom of the ocean. but at least they knew they were in the right place. this could be just the break we need. >> all right. let's all hope so. thanks so much for being with us. >> you're most welcome. coming up, the search has been marred by mistakes from day one. did international politics get in the way? it's red lobster's lobsterfest! all promotions! the year's largest selection of lobster entrees, like lobster lover's dream. hurry in and sea food differently. go to red lobster.com for ten dollars off with purchase of two lobsterfest entrees. why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york?

live from america's news headquarters, i'm harris faulkner. in washington state the unreal task of picking through mounds of mud for 13 people still missing tonight. it's been two weeks since a landslide took out homes and changed lives forever in an area north of seattle. the medical examiner's office has now identified 29 of 30 people who died. rain is expected to now interfere with search efforts again tomorrow and unseasonably warm weather is moving in as well.
6:31 pm
memorial services being held all weekend for the victims. army investigators say we may never know the exact reason why a man opened fire at the army post fort hood, texas, earlier this week. three soldiers were killed, 16 others wounded before specialist ivan lopez took his own life. the army say an escalating argument could have been at the root of it all. investigators say they believe lopez did not specifically target any one soldier. i'm harris faulkner. now back to "justice." china's state-run media reporting that one of the country's search ships had detected a pulse in the hunt for missing flight 370. after all the distrust and accusations, can we believe any of this information here wearing from anybody, chinese, malaysian? with me now, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor, john bolton. reports? >> we can certainly hope they're
6:32 pm
true. but based on the record today, especially from china, i think you have to take this with a grain of salt. remember, china's got big incentives here to its own people to look like it's trying to do something, like it's finding leads, like it's trying to solve the problem. the plane was bound for beijing originally. the overwhelming number of passengers now missing were chinese. so they have a lot of domestic political reasons to look like they're leading the search. and you'll recall, though, that two or three days after the plane first went missing, the chinese claim they had satellite imagery of debris in the water. >> i remember that, yes. >> very fuzzy, turned out to be a red herring. >> yes. >> so i think the chinese have a disincentive here to be transparent. they're obviously using military assets. they don't want to reveal too much about them. so these conflicting motives from china to look like they're doing something but not to tell us too much about what it is exactly, i think has to lead you
6:33 pm
to be very cautious about this latest revelation. >> are you saying, ambassador, that international politics slowed things down and could it have cost us a chance to actually find this plane? >> well, yes to both those questions. look, i think the malaysians were embarrassed from the start. they knew they were over their heads. they kept hoping something would turn up. they didn't want to admit their own incompetence. that cost us precious days. i think the chinese motivations we've just discussed and all this back and forth -- the unwillingness to ask for help, which the malaysians should have done from the get-go, particularly the reluctance to ask america, given the anti-american biases in the malaysian government in particular -- cost uncounted days and maybe even weeks. we don't know now whether we'll ever find this airplane. >> and you know, ambassador, i think there may even be another piece to it. and that is that the malaysians almost have a conflict of
6:34 pm
interest here, that the airlines are owned by the malaysian government? >> well, and not untypically for many third world countries. they're flag carriers, state-owned or controlled by the state. so when a tragedy like this happens, this is a massive failure by the state itself. that leads to embarrassment. that leads to cover-up. and an unwillingness to ask for help because that's another sign of lack of capacity. so when you add all this together, i think it's marred the search from the beginning. but it's also a reason why the chinese keep coming up with helpful leads, quote, unquote, that ultimately don't play out. >> and so i assume that you still -- you believe they could still be holding back information? >> look, we've got conflicting reports even on this information. first we heard they listened to the pings for ten minutes. then they listened for 90 seconds. in neither case did they record the pings. was the record button not
6:35 pm
working? what possible explanation is there for that? i hope this is the first lead. but i wouldn't count on it. >> given the waters, there are some reports that the chinese first relayed this information to the australian government. isn't there an international team that's involved in the search that was a plan for march 5th to be searching in an area well over 100 miles from where this vessel heard the ping? >> yes, there is international cooperation. and i suspect among some of the parties, it's very good. among britain, the united states, australia, new zealand, i'm willing to bet it's first rate. coordination with china, malaysian, thailand, i wouldn't be so sure of that. i think that's part of the problem that even today this is not a seamless operation, unfortunately. >> with families in the mix here, ambassador bolton, thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you, judge. >> with us now, retired pilot
6:36 pm
and boeing 777 training captain, ross aymer. what are pilots supposed to do in an emergency? >> good evening, judge. we are trained -- pilots are trained from day one obviously to handle an emergency. every six months we go back to the training centers into the simulators and they throw anything they can find at us, try to get us to remember all the procedures, all the emergency things that we are taught. so they're trained -- every airline pilot is trained and trained and trained to handle every possible emergency that they could get in their way. >> well, if there is an emergency, we should have heard about it, if they were trained properly, correct? >> that's correct. yes.
6:37 pm
>> all right. the fbi is not giving us any detailed information on what they accessed from that simulator. but it appears that the captain had practiced emergency landings and emergency situations. what do you make of that? >> i don't really think too much into that because obviously you have a simulator -- if he set that up -- to practice certain maneuvers, perhaps to get better. and if i had a simulator in my garage, i would do the same thing and prepare for my test, so-called. but most of us don't do that. that really doesn't open any doors on this. if they come up with something really, really tangible that he was doing -- and as far as i know, fbi hasn't really found any smoking guns. >> yeah, or they're not telling us. but, captain, assuming that they do find the black box, what do you think it's going to tell us?
6:38 pm
>> it will tell us basically everything. that black box is the most -- both of them -- the most valuable thing that we could possibly find from this airplane because the data that is almost 370 various datas are recorded constantly in that flight data recorder. so it will tell us where the positions of just about every surface of the aircraft, flying surfaces, what was happening to certain parts of the aircraft, the -- some of the electronic equipment, for example. it will give us just about every possible thing that you could get your hands on. and it will help the investigators immensely. >> and based on what you've been hearing, captain, do you believe that the pings -- that this chinese vessel heard are consistent with pings from a black box, although some of my previous guests have suggested
6:39 pm
that if it stops, that doesn't -- it may have gotten lost or the sound may have been blocked. but that normally it would just ping and ping and ping and ping and not stop. >> that is correct. that particular ping that comes from an emergency locater, transmitter or black box is a continuous ping. and it doesn't stop. unless if you go far away from the source. and there are times that most of us, we always monitor the emergency frequency as we fly along over water, occasionally we do hear some ping. and sometimes it's another aircraft testing their device or another -- maybe a small airplane being down. so i approach that with a lot of caution. >> all right. captain aimer, thanks so much for being with us. >> my pleasure. coming up, much more on the search for missing malaysian flight 370.

new leads today in the search for missing flight 370. here's molly heninberg with the latest. >> china's state-run mission says the chinese ship deployed a black box detector into the southern indian ocean and picked up a pulse signal, a ping at 37.5 kilohertz, the same
6:44 pm
frequency that pings are emitted from the flight data recorder. the chinese also say one of their air force plane spotted some white floating objects in that search area. malaysian authorities say they're trying to verify this report. but there's a healthy dose of skepticism out there about this ping in part because it came from chinese media reports and not from the international coordinator of the search. houston said today that he had been advised of the chinese report but so far, there's no confirmation that the ping and the floating objects are related to the missing malaysian jet. one fox military analyst says the chinese should have gone through the proper channels with this new information. >> it should have been reported to air chief marshal houston. he should have send out people to look at -- see if they got the ping again. they should have done more due diligence. now they have enthused the whole world and the parents, sisters, the relatives' survivors.
6:45 pm
and we're in a position where if it doesn't, it is going to have a great impact, i believe, on the credibility of the search. >> the batteries on the flight data recorders or black boxes are supposed to last for about a month. the plane disappeared march 8th. and today is april 5th. time is of the essence for those searching for malaysian flight 370. judge? >> molly, thanks so much. with me now is pilot kyle bailey. kyle, there's a lot of talk about who should have reported what to whom. we do know that a chinese vessel said they heard a ping for 90 seconds and that this information is released through a chinese-run news agency. who should have been informed of this? >> australia should have been informed because they're basically running the operation, the search and the recovery efforts. and the international civil aviation authority basically also has jurisdiction. but australia should have been
6:46 pm
notified. >> let's assume that australia is notified. what do we need now to actually find out if that ping belongs to the black box that was on 370? >> that ping actually has to be analyzed with specific equipment for the signal. and there's a lot of other things in the ocean that could interfere with that signal, such as mammals, caves -- >> there's a lot of talk about mammals and whales, everybody singing underneath there. but people are saying you can tell the difference between a mammal and a ping from a black box -- >> they're very similar. the high frequency and the percussi percussion, very similar to like a mammal or possibly other equipment on the ocean floor. but there is a very distinct signal that it puts out. so the answer to that question is if the operator of the equipment wasn't on the game, they could have misinterpreted that signal for something else. >> and unfortunately they didn't record it.
6:47 pm
let's talk about the equipment to locate these pings. >> sure. >> is this equipment something that the chinese government has? >> the chinese government should have it. they do have naval assets. i would assume that they would have it, based on the fact that they do have an avn significant assets. >> we know we have this particular -- what is it called? >> the hydrophone submersible. >> the hydrophone submersible. but if they confirm that there is a ping -- and they're in a part of the world where they have a relatively unknown or unmapped ocean floor. how can they navigate the recovery under water? >> conditions are very difficult. like i said, it could be up to 20,000 feet deep, the ocean, basically pitch black down there. just to give you an example, how much of the ocean is unmapped, it would actually take over 500 years for a single ship to map
6:48 pm
the ocean floor. so around continents, that area is mapped. but when you get way out in the middle of nowhere, that's uncharted territories. there's caves, everything you could imagine going through there. >> if the beacon stops working, how much harder will this make the search? >> it could last, i would say, a couple of years, ten years, 15 years, god only knows. >> and do we know whether or not -- if they identify the ping as coming from a boeing 777, how is it -- is it a group investigation that goes down or how does it work? >> basically once it's identified and they find the black box and it's identified, it would go back to honeywell, the manufacturer of the black box -- >> which is in the united states? >> yes. and they would interpret all that information. it's basically it's own specific
6:49 pm
data that has to be interpreted. >> irrespective of who brings up the black box, assuming this ping is from the black box and assuming that that black box is from 370, it comes back to the united states for interpretation? >> yes. very interesting. >> or their experts would go to where the black box is, i would assume. >> kyle, thanks so much for that information. >> thank you. coming up, if wreckage is found, it could be miles under the surface of the ocean. how is it brought up? those details are next. and right after "justice" tonight at 10:00 p.m., a special, fox news reporting "enemies of the state." we'll be right back. become very popular. because when you buy the new samsung galaxy s5 on verizon, you get a second samsung galaxy s5 for free. so, who ya gonna give it to? maybe your brother could use it to finally meet a girl. your mom, but isn't your love reward enough? its not. maybe your roommate, i mean you pretty much share everything else. hey.

we know there's at least one british nuclear sub. they can do very deep, have good passive sonar. if he's anywhere near that long, he should be on station listening also. but if this turns out to be a false lead like so many other things in this investigation today, we're in for, i suspect, a long search. >> we're at month open we don't know how much time we have left with the ping. >> exactly. i talked to the guy that tests them at the factory and he basically said he tests them at the factory when they're new and they run 34, 35 days full power, then they diminish for five or six more days. we may have until april 15th if my back of the envelope calculations are right. but after that we better settle in for a very long search. we may luck up and find some
