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.
True, but the graveyards are full of indispensable people.
Used to live by a cemetery.
They were never replaced.
They were the same ones there every time I walked by.................😜
"Authorities have not yet released a passenger list or any names as they search the ocean for the missing submersible, which disappeared on Sunday June 18, 2023, while diving to explore the Titanic shipwreck, according to the U.S. Coast Guard."
Anymore, when there is a lack of transparency, it seems one needs to ask: "who is on it, and to whom are they connected?"
Because nobody wants to be the a-hole that has to speak the harsh truth.
Too busy with transgender educatiin and planting bombs on natural gas pipelines I suppose.
There are ways this sub could fail that left the occupants alive, but the longer they are missing, the shorter the list gets.
Seems like many, many more ways for failure to cause instant or near term death.
We already know who was on it:
Hamish Harding, British Aviation Billionaire,
Paul-Henry Nargeolet, French Expert Diver and pilot
Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s CEO
Pakistani businessman, Shahzada Dawood, and his young son, Suleman.
WHEN has the Biden Administration EVER been up front and honest about ANYTHING????
Most likely the sub imploded and USN is keeping quiet so as to not tip off the Chinese about our underwater listening capabilities.
At least go through the motions like you don’t already know the sub’s fate. THAT action alone would help hide our capabilities. Dumbass Biden Administration.
Rear Admiral John Mauger, who is overseeing the search-and-rescue operation for the US Coast Guard, said rescuers “are doing everything we can do” to locate the five people aboard.
The other article indicated that they had another search and rescue plane coming from New York.
At some point, I guess there should be some coordination between rescuers.
Especially out in the North Atlantic.
It was quick and merciful.
Horse hockey.
Either the CG is there to take the blame if things go south, or it’s running cover for whatever Deep State is up to.
Possibly both.
Deep State, God help us, has proven it can multitask.
Note to the uber rich: First they came for Trump...
WOOF!!
Sadly, correct..................
Tip off the ChiComs?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeepers, OH, you really think they, and the rest of our nation’s enemies, aren’t already privy to anything they damn well demand to know?
You might fail, but it’s not cool to not even try. And in the process of failure, you might learn something useful. Plus, you can bill them for the costs.
Don’t want them to collide like the forest fire aircraft did last year.............
It imploded going down. Almost a certainty our fish-fart listening buoys in the Atlantic picked up on it, and probably satellite confirmation there is literally nothing bigger than a breadbox on the floor in a 50-mile radius around Titanic. This is some silly kabuki for the families, but that reckless CEO better grab his passport and head for a non-extradite.
Why would “US officials” be blocking the attempted rescue?
