this is where the influence of antarctica, of the ice sheet of antarctica starts to be felt. and this is really where the winds pick up in strength, and these very strong winds, they sweep up the water and make these giant waves that can really be easily 30 feet. >> erik van sabille, so interesting, and it's why rescuers and rescue teams are being so careful about sending people out there. >> yeah. >> they don't want more loss of life in trying to find pieces. >> absolutely. >> erik, thank you so much. cargo ships sometimes seek out these channels because it's moving so quickly, they can save on their gas bill. >> really? wow. and they turned eight planes back today because they don't want to risk anyone's lives in trying to find the debris. and those are tough planes. to turn them back takes really bad weather. more news ahead. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> breaking news overnight. officials from thailand have new satellite images showing 300 potential objects floating right near the flight 370 search zone. as the air search for the jetliner is suspended, conditi

these are some pretty wild waters down near antarctica.ind is pushing the debris, the currents are pushing the debris. they need to do some oceanographic forensics and go back and see where the currents are, look at the weather, see where the wind might have pushed it in the past week. what the australians have done right now is drop some buoys into the water that have gps receivers on them and these buoys will track the motion of the current that's around the potential wreckage and they'll send that data back so they can begin to sort of reverse engineer where the impact might have occurred. >> and david, we're talking about water that could be as deep as 14,000 feet. i would assume that that could create challenges of its own. >> the good news is those pingers from black boxes work to a depth of 20,000 feet so you could still get a signal. you need to get over where that wreckage is which is why tracing the back the currents and finding out where it may have actually impacted the water, you can listen for those pingers. you're talking ab

you are on your way to antarctica at that point. >> we have the australians in charge of this investigation. hunters with powerful cameras are scanning the surface for floating specks of insulation, seat cushions, or clothing. if the plane was in trouble, he did not send a signal. >> there were a number of distress beacons on the aircraft. they have not been activated because we are the receiving authority for such alerts. outnvestigators cannot rule system failure, but all signs point to a deliberate act. call, the last radio someone used a cockpit computer to program a change in course. two malaysian tuna fishermen saw the plane after its left turn. a jumbo jetessed flying low above the water between malaysia and milan. they reported the sighting to police. the top priority is finding debris from the plane. a complete search will take a few weeks. thee want to get back to breaking news about the deadly helicopter crash in seattle. we are getting new video. firefighters say two people killed in the accident were on board the chopper. a third victim was critically injured but managed to pul

they have also scrambled as it were an ice breaker that was on its way to antarctica to do research, they're moving that, the snow dragon with a skeleton crew to the area to help other merchant vessels in the search in terms of having kind of human assets on the water to look. so china has been frustrated with the malaysian response because they can't go in there and run the show. there is a lot of suspicion of southeast asian countries capacity at times here in china. so they want to show very much in china to the domestic audience that they're doing everything they can to find this plane. >>> up next, disaster delays, we'll take a closer look at the problems that have plagued the search for flight 370 from the moment it disappeared. plus more on the new transcripts of the plane's final 5 4 minutes of communications with ground controls. pay my bill. phone: your account is already paid in full. oh, well in that case, back to vacation mode. ♪boots and pants and boots and pants♪ ♪and boots and pants and boots and pants♪ ♪and boots and pants... voice-enabled bill pay. just a tap away o

this is the juncture between the indian ocean and the south ocean, the one around antarctica.and curb lent. it is very conceivable if a plane went down, the currents could be moving it at pretty much a regular walking pace. over the time, since the day the plane disappeared until today, it could have moved 1,000, 1,100, maybe 1,200 miles. when you talk about the beneath the surface, it gets more complicated. the currents on the surface are not necessarily the same as the currents below the surface. so then you have another layer of if it is sinking or if is partially underthe water as these pieces are supposed to be, is it being subjected to different forces? yes. you can go down there with this technology, like side scan sonar and you can go over the ocean floor and you can look for things. that will create a 3-d picture of the ocean floor. with that 3-d picture, you can go in and square by square, mile by mile, inch by inch, you can look for anything that tells you something might be there. again, to get to this point, to use all those tools, you have to narrow it down. if t

temperatures out here in the search area, it's very close to the southern ocean, and it surrounds antarctica. so temperatures would drop very quickly. temperatures would be dropping off quickly at about 40 degrees latitude. so we're very close to some very cold water, but that said, the indian ocean is one of the warmest in the world. so very warm temperatures expected out there. this is also a very deep ocean with an average depth of 12,000 feet. so two miles. that makes it very difficult to find any debris that could have gone to the deep part of the water. the very deepest point of the indian ocean, 24,000 feet. it's covered by a length knowns a the plateau surrounded by water as deep as 16,400 feet deep, so this is going to make it very tough finding debris out here. of course this has not been confirmed. but that's what we know right now. >> a lot of planes out there or at least on the way to help in this search, including the u.s. navy. >> we hope that they're very careful. again, there's a disturbance moving through. that system should move out in the next few days. >> that would be g

you're like, we know -- going from one major city to another, not over antarctica or something like that, there's lots of reason for it to happen. that's how you get headline news booking psychics on air and asking them questions and hoping can you divine the path of all that stuff. >> on one hand you're saying, look, it's a fascinating story. we don't know what happens. but on the other hand, you're saying, give me your assessment. word has now moved to inside pages on newspapers, new debris cited, but how many times that happens is a huge breaking news banner. >> until, you know, there's actual news, we only need the once a day checking in. the problem is you can't run the headlines. nothing new today. turn to page a2. >> i know howie and i both grew up in a newsroom where if you didn't have a story, don't come over here. what are you talking to me about? when you have something, come and bring the story, tell me where you got it, how you got it and let's do it. >> no, no, when you didn't have a story, you would write the secondary story which would be questions remain unanswered. but

that is more than half way to antarctica, a big distance to be covering. still so many questions. we'll look for the answers from our experts and correspondence around the world. let's start with andrew stevens who is in perth, australia, covering this for us. andrew, is there any estimate how long it will be until we really do have eyes on the debris? >> it's going to be a very difficult question to answer. the weather conditions are changing and chafrging rnging r kate. we had a tweet from a surveillance plane saying that they couldn't see anything. there was no sign of debris. but they were being hampered, considerably hampered by bad weather, particularly rain and also low clouds. so that was the first of the big search planes which went out early this morning to come back. we've also heard that the u.s. p-8, very sophisticated plane is also returned to base. and also the spokesman for the seventh fleet is saying that there was no debris spotted in the p-8 either. a lot of this depends on a certain amount of light. this is a vast area to search, a vast

you look for a tiny effect, and it's done from antarctica, where the conditions for observing are right. we are looking for very, very tiny fluke tuitions in the background universe, superimposed on a background reading of temperature left over from the big bang. it's a difficult observation. more difficult to prove that what they saw is exactly what they expected to see and nothing introduced as an error from any part of the experiments or equipment or anything else. >> i think i understand why this is a difficult thing to detect. why is it hailed as the greatest discovery in the universe in the last 25 years. earth? >> what it does is provide the link, if you will, between the original state of the universe at the point of the big mapping - bang, and what we see. we have 14 divisions and 20 or 30 billion years of time on either side of that that make up the universe. how do we figure out how to get the universe so big and uniform. there needs to be a connection. inflation is the link, that proves the idea of a couple of things, that the universe expanded the way it did, and the univer

research and supply ship, xilong which we worked with in the, in an incident in january in the antarctica is on the way to the search area. china is very focused. on -- assisting with the search. >> would it be reasonable to expect that having more ships in there could help with the visual identification process or do the planes remain the best tool for that? >> actually you need both to do perfectly well. you've need aircraft to cover the large areas and get sightings. you need ships, helicopters. a long way for a helicopter. you need ships to get up close. and potentially recover -- material. and so that -- in fact they can be identified. mike spoke earlier about identifying the pallet. that means really recovering it on board. looking at the markings on it for example. we released -- the ship that had been there yesterday. in anticipation of -- of bad weather coming through. she was worried about cargo damage. and had done three days worth of work. so we released her. i think it will be -- probably tuesday that, that chinese ships will start to arrive. >> one last question. >> on satel

they'rthey arethey now believe d towards antarctica. >>> western powers of ukraine say they will not recognize the outcome of the vote there and say it sets up the result of potential democratic fall out. >>> in syria the fighting still continues with no end to the conflict in sight. >>> a scathing report is out blasting the safety record of one of the country's busiest train systems. the report directly blames metro north for derailment right here in new york city. four passengers died and several others were injured. reports are that metro north valued safety over a tight schedule. this is al jazeera. airlines plane vanished, new reports say the investigation is focuses on sabotage and the plane's erratic flying. >>> colorado's new marijuana laws are seeing early success but other states plans may get burnt before they catch fire. >>> and the words on your resume that could cost you your next job. hello, i'm antonio mora, welcome to "consider this." here is more on what's ahead. >> there are new signs that foul play may have played a role in the plane's disappearance. >> the aircra

because antarctica is covered in ice, you have nothing but water. they keep on going. we have a tropical cyclone towards the north. that looks like it will gradually die away and become less of an issue in the coming day. the weather is very unsettled. lots of symptomy weather to come, i'm afraid. >> thank you for that, richard. forgive me. we're looking at the breaking news again out of turkey to do with the syrian war plane being shot down. the turkish prime minister has confirmed this himself. his armed forces shot down a syrian jet after it strayed into turkish air space. these pictures say that cloud and smoke was the result of that plane being shot down on the line. a columnist with the newspaper today examines on the line from istanbul. we thank you for your time. any more information you can give us that's been released. >> reporter: the information is very sparse. nothing at the moment. it will be half an hour to go down it's the beginning of a series of perhaps escalations in the beginning. we will see if they're following. >> explain for our fews how this ca

. >> somebody took the plane to antarctica or somewhere crazy. >> i think the government covered it upvered it up? >> obama and whoever was behind them. >> have you been watching a lot of cnn recently? >> no, i see it all the time. >> i think in respect to the families it is better that everybody stop speculating. >> all right, the woman, finally, she is brilliant. here is watters, now, did people watch the tv or hear the coverage? >> everybody watching the news think the media has been irresponsible, but the people who are not hard-core news consumers they were susceptible to this. they were the ones pontificating about it. one said it was a drug shipment. the other hijacked it to take a payoff. >> how did he know that. >> i said well if the plane landed with the terrorists, why didn't radar pick it up? he said obama sold the terrorists radar-jamming technology. >> is that right? >> that is right. >> i think cnn wanted -- may want to talk to them. oh, that is a cheap shot, can i take it back? oh, too late. now when you were out there, you talked to somebody -- with fox news. >> it cra
