andrea stevens is joining us live. first question, andrew, how long before the search can resume? >> reporter: they are talking about resuming tomorrow. perhaps later in the afternoon. but this area of the planet is known for violent storms kicking up quickly. just look at the satellite images and the debris field identified by the french satellites on march 23rd is right in the middle of what looks like very heavy clouds. visibility down to virtually zero. severe turbulence. heavy winds. heavy winds could disperse the debris. the timing could not be worse. the field, 122 objects is described by a lot of aviation experts as a potential debris field. that's the first time anyone's equating objects with debris field. in previous satellite pictures, also from the planes that we know about, there have been handful of objects this is obviously more than that. but with the weather, big winds, big waves, it could be dispersed and making that search ever harder. at this stage, the authorities say they should be able to get planes in the air tomorrow. >> so andrew, if you look at what happ

andrea steve-- andrew stevens i there.e heard anything at all in malaysia itself to suggest that there's an investigation that instead of this plane crash landing somewhere may actually have landed? >> reporter: getting information out of the malaysian authorities, wolf, as we all know now is proving quite difficult. i mean, if this is true, even the point that the plane was flying for another four to five hours, this is an extraordinary development given the fact that less than 12 hours ago the malaysian authorities leading the search, leading all the information at its disposal basically put that theory down. they said it was an inaccurate report. there was no evidence they had to suggest certainly that the plane was still flying. the defense minister who is leading this investigation says. i would like to refer to news reports suggesting that the aircraft may have continued flying for some time after the last contact. as malaysian airlines will confirm shortly those reports are inaccurate. and they base this inaccuracy
