With only hours of oxygen left in the submersible that was touring the Titanic, it has gone missing over the wreckage. By 12 pm on Thursday, the oxygen will be depleted. The sub, carrying five people, has been missing since Sunday when it lost all contact while exploring the wreckage of the famous ship 13,000 ft under the sea. GB News said the US is holding up a possible rescue. Rescuers say it’s not a rational decision.
Even if it is located, it would not be easy to rescue those on board, given the depths. It’s down about two miles. It is so deep even the U.S. Coastguard does not have the capabilities to reach it.
We don’t know if they are even alive.
British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, is among those missing as rescue crews search the Atlantic Ocean.
Harding, who runs an aviation company, was on the 21ft vessel when it set off on Sunday.
The father-of-two, who lives in the UAE, said he was “proud” to be joining OceanGate as a “mission specialist,” adding that the group included “a couple of legendary explorers.”
French diving expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet and submarine boss Stockton Rush are likely on the missing submarine.
A British rescue mission to locate it has been “blocked by US officials.” Yet, there are only hours left to locate and save them. The five passengers onboard are running out of oxygen.
A remotely operated vehicle capable of pulling the vessel has been waiting to leave an airport in the Channel Islands since 7 pm on Monday, says GB News. The vessel takes tourists to the Titanic shipwreck out of the Atlantic Ocean.
NOT RATIONAL
According to the Telegraph, the team from deepwater specialists Magellan Limited has not received approval for take-off.
He added Magellan’s remotely operated vehicle was unique in that it was likely the only asset available to have a winch capable of dragging submersibles from the depths of the ocean, while it can also detect signals and send them above the surface.
Mr Hunchak said the desperate situation was “painful” to him as he described Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a Frenchman reported to be among those on the submersible, as a “personal mentor”.
He told the Telegraph: “We have British, French and US citizens on board and every minute here counts. This is not a rational decision, this is the only asset we have with a winch, and the guys are experts in this area.
“Why not run both vessels? The more help we can get, the better, and denying us means you are giving up on every option you have to save lives.”
“These are irreplaceable human beings.”
There are a lot of not rational decisions being made by US officials in this administration.
Deep sea submersible madee out of of the shelf parts and game controllers. Seems legit.
“There are a lot of not rational decisions being made by US officials in this administration.”
Welcome to our club.
The shell was titanium and woven carbon fiber.
I’m betting that this being only the third payload dive plus testing dives, it developed stress fractures just like an aircraft, and then poof, it imploded..............
Branson is the founder and original CEO, Michael Colglazier now runs the show.
Same for Mr. Implosion.
Maybe the Biden Transportation Secretary found out that one of the passengers believes there are only two genders and doesn’t support gay marriage so he/she/it shut down any rescue attempts.
” the laptop contained evidence of Hunter Biden’s illegal drug use and prostitute orgies.”
Everyone is just haggling about who gets the money and who pays.
The current US government honest? You jest.
Sure.
That's what they want you to think!
I hated having to walk by that place in the dark. No street lights there.
But during the day it didn’t much bother me..............
Go find an Olympic sized pool that needs cleaning. One with green water.
Turn around and look the other way while you have a friend toss a bb into the pool.
Turn back around and find the bb.
That’s what’s going on here.
The ocean is big. The sub is tiny.
The Biden Crime Cartel is not making any money off this like they are in Ukraine. Else Biden would have his worshipers chanting in unison: “We must rescue the submarine!”
If Britney Griner had been on board any guess how the response would be?
> GB News said the US is holding up a possible rescue.
Translation: The US said that they won’t pay for it.
I’m of the mind that it no longer exists intact.
The hull was made from titanium and spun carbon fiber.
This was only it’s 3rd paying mission plus any test dives it may have had.
Stress fractures probably doomed the vessel and passengers.................
And yet, some people are saying our underwater listening devices would have picked up any implosion.
“Turn back around and find the bb.”
At night
“That’s what’s going on here.”
Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s CEO, was on board.
Adding a whole new dimension to the term passport, and he is definitely non-extraditable by any Earthly agency.
Thanks!
Still, why not let them use the drone to recover the lump of crushed metal?
