Today is Day Seven of the massive search mission for the missing MH370 aircraft. Over 40 ships and 40 aircraft and 10 orbiting Chinese defense satellites have all yet to find any trace of the plane. And the longer it takes, the more difficult the task becomes. Especially when search and rescue efforts are in the vast spaces of the ocean.

He’s also the Director of the Robertson Aircraft Accident Investigation Laboratory.
