[0:00] And recovering and locating small
[0:03] objects like recorders is a daunting
[0:06] effort.
[0:08] We estimate that counting the state
[0:10] authorities,
[0:12] we have between 500 and 1,000 people
[0:16] dedicated to this investigation right
[0:19] now.
[0:20] This will be a long investigation.
[0:23] We will continue to cooperate closely
[0:27] with the government of Egypt
[0:29] and with all of the appropriate
[0:31] authorities

[1:23] criminal activity or incident that did
[1:25] take place, that we would be following
[1:28] the proper procedure so that it would
[1:30] not hamper or be counterproductive to
[1:33] any criminal prosecution.
[1:35] >> Meanwhile, hundreds of relatives of
[1:37] passengers are coming to the staging
[1:39] area in Rhode Island from all over the
[1:41] world to await recovery efforts.
[1:45] >> And to Margaret Warner.
[1:47] >> For more, we're joined by Michael
[1:49] Goldfarb, a former chief of staff of the
