A battery of heavy machinery and submarines dubbed the 'last chance' for the crew of the Titan tourist submarine arrived in Canada tonight - but it now faces a race against time to help rescuers in the desperate search.

The array of winches, cables and unmanned vehicles capable of going 19,000 feet underwater were delivered to St John's airport in Newfoundland by three US Air Force cargo planes.

It was taken with a police escort to the port where a waiting ship, the Horizon Arctic, was due to set sail at midnight.

We DON’T have the technology to reliably descend to 12,000 ft. but we DO have the technology to regulate planet Earths climate and atmosphere. Uh-huh.

Wow, the Pisces III rescue story would make a good thriller film.

Someone here mentioned a 10,000 square
mile search area.
Of course they knew where to “start” the
search. In the Titanics’ general vicinity.
Just so happens, they found debris from
the sub 1600 feet off the bow. And now
I just read that the Navy heard the
implosion days ago, and pinpointed the
sound which allowed discovery of the debris
field.
