20,000 feet and then create maps to guide searchers, but they're slow. they go eight square mile as day and the searches can take months or years. the crews do not have that kind of time. the signals coming from the black boxes are only expected to last 15 more days. >> there's a need. a haystack and obviously it becomes substantially more difficult to find obviously once the pingers have gone silent. >> even worse, there may be no information on the voice recorder at all. it records on a two-hour loochlt if it flew for seven more hours, we may never know. they could have both been shut off due to being shut off or a catastrophic power failure. michelle obama says they're offering as many resources as possible to search for the missing plane. the first lady made those remarks in front of students at
