the scene. unified command is working through prioritizing what equipment we need and then how we get it there. and responding [inaudible] my understanding, correct. thank you. thank you, captain. appreciate you guys coming out. i can stay behind and get some information back to you later. can you clarify the question about [inaudible] in boston, are they not out there, are they working here, or right, so the rescue coordination center he s talking about specifically that s based in boston, so the personnel working in the command and control environment as far as building a lot of the search and rescue plans, sending out the information and coordinating those pieces are here. the people affecting the mission, so the pilots, the air crews, all of the ships, those are based out of different areas. so the pilots and air crews are out of elizabeth city, north carolina, and cutter out of
into trouble. does that hold if there were a catastrophic failure, if the hull were breached or something like that at extreme depth, would it come back up or stay down? i can t speculate on what type of damage this thing may have incurred or what type of emergency the vessel may have incurred. but that s why we have taken a comprehensive approach to search on the surface, search from the air, and also deploy capability to search underwater as well. sandra: obviously it s going to be a massive coordinated search, i mean, when you are talking about air and water, what is the next few hours look like and at what point do you have to start making assumptions? right, so our crews are really really hard again, we have air crews that are working this case, actually flying and
2049, and i would deliver a strong message to xi jinping about this and push back what they are doing. the chinese have been all over the map with regard to the response to us shooting down the balloon, began with denial, and then expressed regret, and then played victim, and then threatened us back, but look, we fly surveillance flights in international air space around china and they constantly come up and interfere with our flights, they threaten the safety of our air crews, and that should not be tolerated either. i think we need to address those issues and everything else in relationship that right now seems to be a problem. john: mr. secretary, thank you for your thoughts. thanks for hanging with us through the president s remarks as well. sandra: thank you, from secretary. john: back to peter doocy at the white house, what did you make of that awkward ending, the president seemed to want to answer a question but too many people shouting at him. it s something we have not
0 out because it was jammed. are we to believe that this didn t get any communications out back to beijing because it was effectively jammed all the way through by either the intelligence agencies or the military? yeah, well, dealing with the first thing, it s obvious, i think, given the action we took against these three unidentified objects, we did not act accordingly when air space was about to be violated by the spy balloon in alaska, did not shoot it down, that reacted in i think what may be an overreaction to the others. he has to be absolutely clear what we are going to do about it. i don t think he s going to fess up to the fact that they may have made a mistake in permitting it to go across the united states. i believe he did, he s going to get questions around that. in terms of what did we learn and did we shut them down, i m not a technology expert but my gut tells me we would never know for sure about that until we get ahold of the devices which we have in our hands now a
expected the boat to overturn and that wave to break the way in which it did. but the training we are receiving, the standardization of mixing our air crews and none of us had flown with branch and we go out there and do it and do it safely just goes to really foot stomp and emphasize what we re doing and how we can do it safely. it underlines the incredible brave work that the coast guard does each and every day. you guys put your lives on the line keeping our coasts safe and getting involved in rescues like this where you put your lives on the line. a trainee in the water like you were describing, talk about i hope he passed with flying colors. this was just textbook stuff what you pulled off there. a team photo we have here at the end showing you together. congratulations on a job well done. yeah, thank you very much. trust me, the first thing i did when i got out of the helicopter
