Titanic sub “in race against time”

Published

on

There is now only a slim chance of rescuing five people aboard the still missing submersible Titanic.

“More people been to outer space than this depth of the ocean,” Titanic expedition leader, G. Michael Harris told Fox News.

“The worst situation is something happened to the hull and our fear is it imploded at (a depth of) 3200m .’’

The sub, according to retired US submarine commander David Marquet, “might as well be on the dark side of the moon”. Even if it is found, it would need to be raised and brought back aboard the mother ship – an extraordinarily difficult operation.

“It needs us to rescue them,” he said.

Even if the sub is found intact near the Titanic wreck, Mr Harris warned, bringing the vehicle to the surface in time would be next to impossible.

Harris reiterated, “You have to make sure you cross every “t” and dot every “i” and follow every step to the letter.”. Throwing a bunch of tourists into a new sub created over the last couple of years, it’s not looking good.’’

Titan had about 40 hours of oxygen remaining for five people on board, Captain Jamie Frederick, of the First Coast Guard District, said at a press conference this morning.

The search is “complex” and requires the involvement of multiple agencies.

Only the most optimistic scenario is that Titan has floated to the surface after ditching ballast and is waiting to be found by the increasing number of C-130 Canadian and US coast guard aircraft that are sweeping the region.

Deep Energy, a deep sea cable boat, has been moving slowly over the wreck of the Titanic since Tuesday afternoon Australian time. Upon receiving the STD-C – a marine satellite service – emergency message on Sunday, the vessel was the first to respond. On Monday evening, the ship changed its bearings and headed to the Titanic wreck site.

On June 19, the STD-C alert was issued at 10.25 Zulu (GMT), more than 12 hours after the sub had been scheduled to surface after a 12 hour descent, observation of the Titanic, and ascent.

Biden urges calm after election upset

U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on Americans to “bring down the temperature” after Donald Trump’s stunning return to the presidency.

Speaking to Democrats shaken by Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat, Biden urged, “Setbacks are unavoidable. Giving up is unforgivable.”

He praised the election as proof of America’s strong and trustworthy electoral system, stressing that it remains “honest, fair, and transparent.”

Biden extended an invitation to President-elect Trump to meet at the White House—a gesture Trump himself had not extended in 2020.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team confirms he plans to meet with Biden soon, as he begins building his leadership team.

Some Democrats say Biden, now 81, may have hurt Harris’ chances by initially seeking re-election, only dropping his bid after a difficult TV debate in July.
