>> reverend al, i would never under estimate the united states navy. i think it is a daunting task.n the next couple of weeks while the batteries are alive will be the best chance. you have to remember from all of the experts on the show we know that the voice recorder will be lost because the flight has been going on for so long which could have been some of the most valuable evidence of what was going on in the cockpit, a voice tape. the data will be valuable, too. there is also a lot of other data that could be gleaned in the case investigatively. you are starting to see authorities get that from the computers. the answers are still there. it takes the investigative team, they have to ask questions and we have done it on so many other cases. it can be done here, as well. >> thank you for being here. >>> coming up, forget the conspiracy theory as, we'll get into what investigators are actually looking at as they try to find this missing plane. >>> also, a republican lawmaker spills the beans about scott walker's efforts to suppress the vote. stay with us. [ woman #1 ] why do i coo

they've been outfittng it for this equipment that came in from the united states navy. the pinger locater, which will basically serve as a giant underwater microphone listening for the pings from the data recorders. and also what's called the blue pin, an underwater drone that will scan the ocean floor for debris. both pieces of equipment need an a-frame, welded together properly. the sea conditions are lovely, we have about 100 feet deep, that's the depth of the water here. but in the search area, it's 14,000 feet deep, sometimes waves can be several stories high. so they need to make sure everything is held together correctly here. because you don't want it falling apart in the high seas. >> will ripley standing by there, ready to shadow the ocean shield, which has the black box locaters on board. we have to reduce that search zone before it can each get started. many thanks to you, will. >> if and when those so-called black boxes are recovered, the investigation will shift to washington, d.c. and some of the top aviation experts in the world. athena jones has that pa

>> well, you know, the search now stretches over an area six times the united states. navy sonar hopes to hear pings from the flight data recorder. it's a signal that lasts about 30 days over a distance under watt we are of about two miles. the last known contact was somewhere over the indian ocean, well outside the original night path. no debris has been found. no emergency locator transmitters have been activated. so this is a great mystery, and it could be a long time before it's solved. back to you. >> all right. william, thank you so much. so one u.s. navy commander says this is like trying to findpers new york. just think about that for a minute in terms of the scope of this search. as the "uss kidd" expands its search today, malaysia requesting radar and satellite information from any country that flight 370 may have passed over from the north where kazakhstan joins the search in central asia, to the south where central australia has taken the lead off of its coast in the southern indian ocean, which is really one of the areas that people are very focused on right no

the objects were located approximately 2,557 kill onomet from perth. >> reporter: the united states navy p 8 poseidon patrol craft arrived in the region. jon donnison has more from perth. >> reporter: this is free mantle port just outside perth. it's here that some of the recovery operation is likely to be based. we have the "hma success" set up from here. that's at the search scene as well as several chinese ships. perth, already one of the most remote cities in the world, and the search area is some 2,500 from where we are now. we have a key bit of kit being flown in by the americans. something known as a towed ping locater. essentially that will be used to try to find the plane's missing black box flight recorder. what happens is a ship tows this through the water and it's able to pick up any pings or signals sent out by the black box. there are a few problems with that. one, the black box flight recorder is only able to send these pings out for about 30 days. that's the amount of battery life. we're already on day 18. there's a bit of time pressure. secondly, the black box may have b

united states military right now in trying to find this? >> we're being very active and doing it in consultation with the malaysian government and australian partners. right now the focus for us in the united states navy, particularly is fixed wing search aircraft. we now have two. the second p-8 poseidon will be arriving in perth today. you'll fly one aircraft and then it takes a break. >> even though it's 700 miles closer to perth than the old search zone, you still can only do one a day. >> with this particular aircraft. the aircraft can stay aloft for eight to ten hours. the fact that it's closer to perth will help keep it on station a little longer. we've also sent some underwater surveillance equipment to be boarded on a ship but that's only valuable if you have a much more defined area than we have right now. >> you would think given the poseidon, the most advanced airplane that the u.s. navy has, could determine if something floating out there is wreckage or do they actually need a ship to go out there and pick it up? can do you that from the air? >> most likely you'd need the ship. the poseidon can search a wider swath of water. but you're most likely going to have to have somebody go out the

these are two tools that were supplied by the united states navy.chnology available when it comes to a search operation like this. but again, the problem is, if you don't have a narrow search area, this is a ship that, at best, could cover about 50 square miles a day. we're looking at an area of about 100,000 square miles. we haven't had any confirmed evidence of where it might be yet. >> will ripley, thank you so much. >>> so even with the high-tech gadgets being moved to the search site, could it be too little too late? joining me is david soucie and author of the book "why planes crash." do you think we'll find the flight data recorders here in time? >> you know, i hope -- i'm trying to be optimistic but if you look at that towed pin gger the fastest you can go is about five knots. they mentioned 50 square miles a day and that's about the extent of it. you're towing it ten miles behind the ship in order to get it to the depth necessary. the ship has got to go ten miles past the search area, come back and go past it ten miles the other way and com

the united states navy sent the ship dispatched from the south china sea to the southern coast to vietnamhe meantime, investigators are trying to figure out why the plane vanished. they say radar signals show the plane may have tried to turn back before disappearing. the crew reportedly did not notify ground control of any change of course. authorities are looking at two passenger whose boarded the plane with stolen passports trying to figure out who they are. >> we will bring you more information on this developing story as it comes back. now, back to "media buzz." passports. keep it right here on fox. >>> moreowofmy conrsatn >> now, we move to subjects as gun control in my interview. >> this goes beyond the olympics, the controversy over the redskins. you said it is an insult, and slur no matter how benign the intent. why insert yourself in that politically sensitive controversy? >> it is, it overlaps politics but it is a football issue. washington was playing dallas on our air that night. i was asked by nbc, i didn't just walk in and say i would do this, it doesn't work that way, many

a united states navy poseidon aircraft and one australian civil jet acting as a communications relay.of the ten aircraft are overhead in the search area as we speak, with the further six planes to fly over the area today. a further royal air force p-3 orion has been placed on standby at the royal air force base in pierce to relay any new sightings, six air ships are sent to the area, including hms ships and five chinese ships and success is expected to arrive late tomorrow night. additionally, the maritime safety ship is in the search area. and i might add that we know her quite well, she visited sidney last year in order to support regional maritime safety conference and we had the opportunity to do a search and rescue exercise with that ship. the united states towed pinger locater, and a blue 21 vehicle have arrived in perth to assist with the location and recovery of the black box. these will be fitted to the australian defense vessel ocean shield which will arrive in western australia in the coming days. and the depth of the water in the search area is between 2,000 meters and 4,0

the united states navy has made it clear we want to move them as close to the zone, but we don't want to actually take them out there until we get a positive i.d. on an object that is directly linked to 370. the problem is when they get that positive i.d., they are still perhaps four or five days sailing away, if it's in that zone that they're focusing on in the moment. they're four or five days away from that zone by sailing, so it is all time-critical that they've made that decision. they're not going to be send them until they have a better understanding of where the main part of the wreckage could be. >> andrew stevens in perth for us this morning. thanks. let us know if you get any word from officials if they found anything from that first full day of searching since that bad weather. >> it makes it difficult, it's a three or four-hour flight for the search planes just to get to that area. >> the spotters when the weather isn't ideal. you got white caps, you think you saw something, did you see something. which is why the colors of what they thought she spotted is so important. w

australian warship, the ocean shield equipped with a high tech black box locater provided by the united states navy. australia's prime minister says the search will continue indefinitely. all right, next up on "rfd" chris christie is gambling that a trip to vegas will rescues his presidential campaign. but is money on a bush. after the break. vo: once upon a time there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where castles were houses and valiant knights stood watch for the kingdom was vast and monsters lurked in the deep and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real avo: all of great britain, all in one place book on expedia before april 30th and save up to thirty percent. olet's say you pay your tguy around 2 percent to manage your money. that's not much, you think except it's 2 percent every year. does that make a difference? search "cost of financial advisors" ouch! over time it really adds up. then go to e*trade and find out how much our advice costs. spoiler alert. it's low. really? yes, really. e*trade offers investment advice and guidance from dedicated professional financial cons

a united states navy p-8 poseidon aircraft, and one australian civil jet acting as a communications relayf the ten aircraft are overhead in the search area as we speak. with a further six planes to fly over the area today. a further p-3 orion has been placed on stand by at the royal air force base in western australia to investigate any reported sightings. six ships are relocating to the new search area, including five chinese ships, and is expected to arrive in the search area tomorrow night. the chinese patrol ship is in the search area. the united states towed pinger locater and a bluefin 21 autonomous underwater vehicle have arrived in perth to assist in the location and recovery of the black box. these will be fitted to an australian defense vessel, which will arrive in the coming days. and the depth of the water in the search area is between 2,000 meters and 4,000 meters. thank you. the atsb, as australia's transportation safety investigation, is working with a range of other national expert organizations to analyze available data relating to the flight of mh-370 and to determine th

the united states navy is helping to search.n authorities are putting the most weight on the scenario that the plane crashed into the ocean outside of the reach of radar, somewhere south of india. we have bill savage with me now. he has a lot of hours behind the controls. 35 years flying one aircraft or another. he helped investigate some of the most mysterious air disasters during those years. bill, i understand you're not convinced that this plane crashed into the ocean which is the leading theory i should mention of u.s. officials. why is that? >> well, i'm not discounting it totally. there's no absolutes here because until you find that aircraft, we're not going to know. but a highly experienced 777 captain could land that airplane in the shorter distance than the gentleman just talked about. somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 feet is plausible. where you would hide it and what would you do with 239 people is the next question. so you would have to have a lot of help in wherever you did put that airplane. but it's not implaus

airlines aircraft with assistance from australian defense force, royal new zealand air force and united states navyuch rescue coordinations received satellite imagery of objects possibly related to the search for missing aircraft flight mh 370. rcc australia received an expert assessment this morning 20th of march. the images were captured by satellite. they may not be related to the aircraft. the assessment of the images was provided by the australian gearo spacial intelligence organization as a possible indication of debris south of the search area that has been the focus of the southern search operation since monday, 17th of march. the image is in the area defineed and searched in the past two days further images are expected after commercial satellites were redirected to take high resolution images of the areas of interest. these will be provided in due course. four aircraft have been reoriented to locate the objects, approximately 2500 kalo meters southwest of perth as a result of the information. a royal australian aircraft arrived in the area about 1:50 p.m this afternoon. further three airc

so what kind of role will the united states navy in this kind of crisis? >> he let me take the last question off the table. i don't think it's pair to ask the secretary that -- fair to ask the secretary that question. the president of the united states will talk about that, okay? >> the exercises that we do with allies, friends, around the world but particularly an ally like south korea, they are scheduled, they are announced, and we are very transparent about it. and it's part of thing i talked about presence, and it's part of the thing i talk about the engagement. we're going to be there. we're going to be there all the time. so this is not a provocation, because we do it all the time. this is, we're not escalating a crisis because we're there all the time. and i think particularly in a volatile region -- and north korea has shown that it is that -- that these sorts of exercises, these sorts of making sure that we are interoperable, making sure that we know what, how we and our allies work together -- >> we'll leave the last few seconds of this discussio

united states to deploy even more military assets to this search zone. right now, australia's high-tech "ocean shield" vessel is steaming toward this search area. and on board with the united states navytor, the tow pinger locater. the search crews have less than a week before the batteries on those pingers likely run out. and that amazing piece of equipment, the tow pinger locater, becomes somewhat useless. the search for this flight, flight 370, is a daunting task, that is taking a massive international effort. i want to draw your attention to an incredible graphic. and before your eyes cross, this is just a stellar amount of information that is using information the "washington post" was able to compile. and it shows just how many international resources have been hurled at this missing airliner and the effort to find it. five countries have employed satellites. singapore is the one country that has employed a submarine, in the middle of your screen, the red and white flag, effectively just to the left of center. that's the one sub. way over on the right-hand side of your screen, that column is chock-full. that's malaysia. and it has perhaps given the biggest contribution, understa

you would need the united states navy and government facilities to get down that deep. we're headed there for a reason, that we don't know what the reason is makes a lot more sense to me than the rest of it. they don't tell us information until they feel like they've got everything covered. usually, like what dana said, when they put it out, it's usually right. >> i have a question about the new information that's coming out that you said was just released from the "new york times." is this new information to the malaysians or is it new information to us, which my question is, did the malaysians either not know about this, are they just learning about it, or did they not tell us about it in the first place? >> they just shared it with the united states, is our understanding. why they haven't shared from the beginning is beyond me. i know their military and their civilian authorities work sort of on counterplains, if you will. radar signals recorded by the malaysian military appear to show the aircraft climbing, i said 40,000 earlier. i thought it was a typo. they're rep
