ocean, but that commercial radar only reaches about 250 miles into the sea, so that too has not found anything. we also learned that the chinese have deployed another ten satellites to look out over the seas so anybody -- that they can find someone or some evidence, some debris that will show where this plane may have gone, but right now it remains very much a mystery. bob woodruff, abc news, beijing. a private satellite company in colorado is launching a unique effort in the search for the missing malaysia airlines jet. >> digital globe is focusing cameras from five of its orbiting satellites on the gulf of thailand region producing ultra high-resolution images. anyone can examine those images if they want. they can go to the website. it's called tomnod.com, and you can tag anything that looks suspicious. >> and stay with abc news for the latest developments on malaysia lines flight 370. live team coverage coming up on "good morning america." well, another day of testimony under way at the murder trial of oscar pistorius. it follows his breakdown in court yesterday. the pathologist who conducted
