MH-370 Search Weather Worsens as Cyclone Nears
BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR: When and if that hits, how would that kind of rough weather affect any kind of submersibles and the search in general?</s>DAVID JOURDAN, FORMER NAVY SUBMARINE OFFICER: Weather is always an issue. The submersible is really not affected. It goes down, way deep below. However, every day we need to launch and recover that drone. And launch and recovery in high seas and high winds is difficult if not impossible if the conditions deteriorate as much as suggested. And the ships can't see out there. So weather is a serious impediment. We always build a certain amount of weather time into our schedules because it's inevitable of nature. Deep down, the drones are fine and this weather won't disturb any wreckage on the sea floor. There is no concern about the weather causing the long term problem with the search.</s>BALDWIN: Just, finally, there is an interesting -- and that's a good thing. We're getting the first imagery of the region of the earth that Angus Houston has said, and I'm quoting him, "new to man." What could we learn from these Bluefin images?</s>JOURDAN: I'm really glad you brought that up. I've been wanting to say that myself. There are areas of the ocean in this part of the world, the size of Nebraska or Texas, pick a state, that have been completely unmapped. We don't have even a single data point. So this is an incredible advance in the science of ocean exploration to be able to actually have a reason to map these areas. Who knows what we will find.</s>BALDWIN: Mapping them, hoping though to find debris and find the black boxes along the way. David Jourdan --</s>JOURDAN: OK.</s>BALDWIN: -- Thank you so much for your expertise, and joining me. Really appreciate it. When we come back, one year later, tragedy replaced by joy and triumph as an American takes first place at the Boston Marathon. And a race to find survivors from the Korean sunken ferry nears its seventh day. But with no lights, awful conditions, how are these divers trying to find possible survivors and victims as well? That's next.
