not only that..., but ELT will not transmit through water...

CNN reporter seem to think the ELT was transmitting from the wreckage on the ocean floor.

It's amazing that with all the coverage of AF 447 and MH 370.., reporters still don't understand even the most _basic_ aspects of the technology about which they report.

anyway, this info apparently originated from Egypt and something about it is wrong - ELT signals are not being received from the ocean floor
