[0:00] However, slowly, CBS is Lake Helen

[0:02] reports.

[0:04] With more high-tech underwater

[0:06] reinforcements deployed out of the crash

[0:08] site, investigators hope the search for

[0:10] the elusive black boxes can now be more

[0:12] aggressive. After combing the ocean

[0:14] floor for more than 10 hours over the

[0:16] weekend, the Navy's underwater robot was

[0:18] unable to locate either of the 767's

[0:21] voice or data recorders. Its ship, the

[0:23] USS Grapple, was finally forced to

[0:25] return to land to refuel and stock up on

[0:28] supplies. But, this second submersible

[0:31] is smaller, more maneuverable than the

[0:33] drone used by the US Navy, and is

[0:35] designed to work specifically in deep,

[0:37] strong currents. Its three cameras are

[0:39] housed inside a steel cage, providing

[0:42] added protection from the tangled metal

[0:51] in that debris, or buried under layers

[0:53] of silt. Either way, it's all more than

[0:55] 250 ft below the surface, where

[0:57] visibility is less than 5 ft.

[1:00] Our mission here is to uh bring this to

[1:02] closure as quickly as possible, uh but

[1:04] not to hazard any of the civilian

[1:06] mariners or sailors who are on station

[1:08] conducting this operation.

[1:10] The Grapple, along with a host of other

[1:11] ships, will soon be rejoining the search

[1:13] effort, and the hope is to have both

[1:15] underwater robots in operation by

[1:17] Tuesday afternoon, doubling the chances

[1:19] of finding the recorders, still the best

[1:21] clue as to what may have happened more

[1:23] than a week ago.

[1:25] Both recorders may lie only abo
