Red tape? As opposed to 10,000 sq miles of ocean surface area and 12,500 ft of depth. Searching for a needle in a big stack of needles. Open water searches are notoriously difficult.
The US rejected help from another source
that has the means for rescue. Hell yes
red tape. This rescue was told to stand
down. A full 24 hours prior to current
efforts.
10,000 square miles? How would that
submersible have the capability to drift
5,000 miles in any direction given ocean
current speeds and available oxygen supplies
aboard. These people are still breathing,
Pray the current efforts are successful.
Search? Doesn’t that meshuggah U-boat have transponders and emergency beacons?
Bingo, NN.
This isn’t nearly as simple as many folks seem to think.
