there were questions about the box that was photo showed up i believe that box maybe a comcast battery back up unit i'll see in the sunset their nooems we recognition that they were up to 3 feet in width. and right now we believe in those kind of cases the health department made the approval based on the approval and there were certain requirements that at&t is required to a follow. during the public notification we did a public hearing and some of the issues related to the relocation of the facility was discussed at the public hearing and ultimately the director made a decision this was an appropriate request and we granted the approval and it was sent to the board. i'm here to answer any additional questions but i don't think there are any board questions >> the department holder states in their brief and we've heard argument the alternatives that were proposed by the appellant were not appropriate due to the views would you agree on the alternatives proposed for placement? if it is correct that the alternative locations put the facilities in a higher corridor i'll have to rely on th

a box from their cable provider. this provision was intended to do for the video device market what the card did for the telephone industry and also those with wireless devices. allowing consumer choice stands in opposition to what this committee has stood for purely because of lobbying group has asked for a provision to be asked for attach of a legislation. i am not here to defend the status quo. far from it. we share the cable industry's desire to move on to a new security standard and we want to work with the industry to find the next generation answer, but passing legislation eliminating cable operators' incentive to support boxes without putting a replacement in place is not a good approach given the heritage of this committee creating choice. my fellow witness, who is representing the industry here today, called tivo's god machine because of the choice and control it gave the consumer. it is ironic that he's now leading the charge to kill this type of consumer choice simply because he's wearing a different hat.

out of the little box into the big box. i hate the little box. >> like espinoza, daniel also aspires to be placed on the general population unit. >> because you get to mingle with the crowd. i've never been apart. only time i was there was in newman. i was in newman for like two weeks. >> what happened. >> fight? >> everybody fights, right? that's the only way you can handle situations in here. you've got to fight. if someone says something to you or if you've got problems you have to act on an issue. if you don't, they will. it's a jail thing. >> 16 months ago, esdale was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to two years at the house of correction. a separate suffolk county jail facility for convicted inmates serving two and a half years or less. due to multiple fights, he spent the first 13 months in segregation. but even under those restrictions, he was still a significant disciplinary problem. >> daniel has gotten into my m fights since he's been here. he's been involved in about ten fights. there's a lot

all hopes lie with the black box. is it a reasonable bet that a needle in a haystack is nothing compared to the indian ocean. the ocean is turbulent. the waves are high. it is getting cold. winter is coming on in that hemisphere. what are the hopes? >> this is a very daunting search. as far as the likelihood that they find this plane, this is a challenge. this is more like a needle in a hayfield. the story we wrote today made the pointt that although they have the corridor, the southern corridor where they think the plane flew depending on the speed of the plane you get very large differences in the outcomes of the calculations. hundreds of miles of difference. i heard today is that broad search area is really like the size of alaska. so you've got these autonomous vehicles down there that go under the water and can listen for the ping but they only can hear it a mile or two in either direction. so someone said it is like mowing the entire state of alaska with a tractor that is a mile wide but only goes about three mi

smaller planes don't usually carry black boxes. there's also black boxes in cars.have a small black box to record when airbags deploy and wrecks, things of that nature. >> interesting you bring it up, viewers tweeting back and forth, questions about this plane. that's question a lot, if our car has gps, technology that allows us to watch movies or online shop while we're on an airplane flying 35,000 feet, why is it this plane is so difficult to find. why black box technology is a key to that. >> could be done telemetriwise. since air france went down, there have been 1.56 million flights around the globe. that's an awful lot of data have you to store on the ground, terrestrial location. this way you don't need it, you just have what's on board a plane if there's an accident. if there's no accident, you don't need it. tremendous amount of expense and for a short period of time probably wouldn't be pragmatic. i always say carpe speak-um. politicians after the accident have good ideas. some have good ideas, some want face time. >> i'm curious, you're aviation crisis m

there is the yellow box.e told the australian parliament the task of the locating the objects will be difficult, and it may be they do not relate to the aircraft. however, he says, royal australian air force orion has been difficultered. it's expected to arrive in the area shortly. if and they have contacted the malaysia airlines authorities as well as malaysia authorities in malaysia to tell them about this. that's where we are with this search. sting, we don't know whether or not these two objects identified from a satellite has anything to do with the jet, but there's a possibility these objects do have something to do with it. >> when it comes to the n.c.a.a., nothing like a kinderela story, it's something no one saw coming. >> one or two, we know, are in the mix for cinderella much it's a story of someone who was an afterthought with the ultimate reward in the end. that's appropriate for the n.c.a.a. tournament. 68 teams, many from lesser known conference, seeded between 10-16. to dayton, tulsa, the shoo

so if that black box is down there and it's within range, it will hear it. point being there in range. these black boxes don't have a huge range. maybe a couple thousand meters. so you really have to have a good sense of where this thing is. otherwise if we're on the wrong spot we'll never hear it. just to give you an example to draw a picture of how huge a challenge this is, even if this debris was moving at half a knot an hour, so .5 nautical miles an hour, over the course of 16, 17 days we're still talking hundreds of miles. so that's what -- we need to get the first planes out there to get the best location we can. so then our toad pinger locater c can nnt can listen in the right spot. >> commander marks, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. thank you. >>> for more now on the hydrophones, essentially water microphones, stephanie elam joins us from a boat off the pacific coast off santa barbara, california. stephanie? >> reporter: aernderson, it is interesting technology and a difficult task. james coleman is a senior hydrographer and show us the dif

the so-called black box have two boxes and they are orange, not black.re. that data, there has been technology that existed for years to catch it in other ways. primarily air to ground system so we have it in realtime. as you just heard, that air france accident in the atlantic ocean in 2009, they were not found until 2011. in that case we were much clearer about where the general area of where the airplane went down. the boxes are either not recovered or when they are recovered, they are damaged or completely useless. the technology exists. >> why are they not being put in use. sorry for interrupting. >> not at all. the answer is simple. it's cost. this is an old issue in the airline industry. cost versus benefit. as i pointed out last week with the national transportation safety board several years ago, they recommended that there be cameras in all commercial airline cockpits in the united states. the federal aviation administration took that and said no, we are not going to require that. we have seen that time and again and the technology exists to do

it took two years to find the boxes, two and a half miles deep. they revealed pilot error as a factor in the crash. the black boxes are actually bright orange to make them easier to spot, located in the plane's tail and can only be disabled by pulling fuse-like circuit breakers in the cockpit. there are two, the flight data recorder logs about 25 hours of information, hundreds of details about the flight including time of day, directions and turns, air speed, if the plane is nose down or nose up. the cockpit voice recorder captures private conversations, for microphones on the pilot and co-pilot as well as a third mike that picks up sounds of anything unusual in the cockpit. noise of a struggle, an intruder or how the engines are running, and possibly even the sounds of the black boxes being disabled. that recording is on a two-hour loop so the fear is if it ran longer it could erase crucial conversations early in the flight when the plane first veered off course. the boxes emit an ultra sonic pulse or pinging sound once every 30 seconds, maybe lo

there's two different boxes entirely. one keeps track of just the voices and the other keeps track of the data. and yeah, there are two of them. but either of the pingers are 30-day pingers. they have 30-day batteries on them. >> okay. phaedra, we know that the pilot and the co-pilot, the pilot logged some 18,000 flying miles. so he was very, very experienced. this co-pilot, 27 years of age. pretty fresh out of flight school. and i'm just curious, as a pilot asking you in an emergency situation, if we don't know what kind of emergency happened onboard this particular plane, would you rather have someone who was a little more veteran, a little more experienced or younger and fresh out of school and fresh with procedure? >> this sounds like a trick question. >> not a trick question. >> i think everybody would go for the more experienced pilot. i think everybody would vote for the more experienced pilot. but actually, all airlines have safety procedure training. each aircraft has its own procedure for a crew, so this procedu

the black box batteries run out. so the waste is definitely on the us is now said specialized equipment to help find a black box. cctv correspondent jim stillman has been out to find out what the black boxes and about their secrets. the key to finding out what happened to legionnaires three seventy me like people in the indian ocean. how important is that investigators to find black box. it's absolutely critical to locate these boxes. roger owners of kylie aviation expert with the smithsonian institution's air and space museum. a black boxes and they're not black that they've always been one of their assigned report critical flight data as well as cockpit conversations and sounds and the data is then used to analyze aircraft accidents. the black boxes record details late information including altitude air speed rudder pedal position and record cockpit conversations but for me the last two hours of audio a lot of people are wondering how come everybody has a phone that can store hours of video. thousands of songs etc

and then you have black boxes. made by honeywell. boxes, they black are orange boxes. this plane would have been equipped with two recorders. one of them was the flight data recorder. things like wing movement, settings. then you have the cockpit voice recorder. that has the most recent audio, up to two hours of material. after a crash, these are supposed to send out signals for about a month. they could still be underwater somewhere, which does make that signal little bit weaker.

time is running out to find the so-called black boxes. the u.s. sent down a pinger locator to help find the flight and data recorders. you're going to see how it works. >>> and grieving and the furious. hundreds of the friends and passengers are demanding firm evidence that their loved ones are lost forever. so why is china now starting its own investigation? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." we begin with a race against time to find a trace of malaysia flight 370. here are the latest developments. as a new day begins in the south indian ocean, ships and planes are ready to head back into the search zone after violent seas and gale-force winds caused precious hours lost. due to arrive in australia shortly, a pinger will help searchers listen for signals. but the batteries powering those signals are running down and it will take days to get the device into the so-called search zone. our reporters and analysts are standing by around the world as well as here in washington with the kind of coverage that only cnn can deliver. let's beg

and the rest of it becomes a less important box.t if the opposite is true, if the fuel calculation is off so that it went as far as possible, and it glided as far as it can, a plane like this can glide well over 200 miles, now your primary search area moves much further away. that's why the box has to be so big to accommodate all these possibilities. and yet even as it has that size, they try to cut it down a step at a time to increase the probability they'll find this plane. >> testimoom, thank you very mu. that's why this news tonight is so significant, because it does help try to focus the area of the search if in fact the attempt at a hand shake is when one of the last engines went out, or perhaps when it went into the water. we want to look at the tools that search teams can use in the indian ocean and will use. sonars, hydrophones, waterproof microphones. stephanie elam is off a boat in the pacific ocean. >> reporter: it's really interesting technology and it's a difficult task. i'm joined by james coleman, and he's going to s

"all right, good night," for weeks now that's the last words that the world thought because malaysian officials told us and that's what they told the passengers' families. but now, on the 25th day of this investigation, the malaysians are once again raising concerns about what we can accept from them as fact. the malaysian ministry of transport now says the last words were not "all right, good night", spoken by the co-pilot, they were "good night malaysian 370" and they don't know whether the pilot or co-pilot said it. it's a change in the timeline that's occurred time and again. as our own jim sciutto reports, there is precious lit
