from the coast guard at a briefing set for 3:00 eastern time. meanwhile, we are learning that canada is stepping up its rescue efforts sending in a ship, the hmcs glace bay, equipped with a hyperbaric recompression, and we will be joined in just moments. sandra: molly line outside the u.s. headquarters in boston. first get to mike tobin, live at the staging area for the search in st. john s, canada. mike, exactly what we know, officials are reporting the remote operated robot discovered this debris field near the titanic and they are saying it could be linked to the missing titan but cannot confirm that to be the case. what else are we learning? well, we have learned that certainly very discouraging news for the people who are holding out hope for a miracle in this case. i spoke with larry david who is larry daily, i should say, logistics specialist for titanic expeditions, he was down to the wreckage in 2003, and 1 of the things he points out is when you go down to the
future, the near term, and i don t think it has had any real consequence. and what was your second question? as you raise these broader issues of human rights and democracy, what is your message to those, including some members of your own party who believe that your administration is overlooking the targeting of religious minorities and a crackdown on descent in india. look, the prime minister and i had a good discussion on democratic values and there is a that s the nature of our relationship, we are straightforward with each other and we respect each other. one of the fundamental reasons that i believe u.s.-china relationship is not in the space as the u.s.-india relationship is that there is an overwhelming respect for each other because we are both democracies, and it s a common democratic character both our countries that, and our people, our diversity, our culture, our open tolerant robust debate and we believe the dignity of every citizen and it is in america s
oceangate, says we now believe that our ceo stockton rush, shahzada dawood, his son, hamish harding and paul-henry nargeolet are sadly lost. a deep passion for exploring and protect the world s oceans. our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their family during the tragic time. we grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew. so i guess what we are going to hear at 3:00 from the coast guard, tom, is that the debris field is that of the titan, that it s in pieces, that would suggest a catastrophic implotion back on sunday morning as they were descending so the titanic. your thought as we get this news. well, it s it s a gut punch, it s probably what was in the back of minds of most experts but we don t want to
keep the water out of the people tank, we called the inner hull the people tank, you don t want water in the people tank. water is the enemy and when john was talking about the potential for a slow leak versus a catastrophic implotion, either one, a slow leak at 6, 7, 8, 10,000 feet, a pin hole leak is like a fire hose, in credibly difficult to stop that. so touching story but the sea is an unforgiving place and goes without saying these days. john: brad mcdonald, great to get your take on all of this, as we await word from the coast guard as to what it is they have found on the ocean floor. joining us now is brent sadler, naval warfare senior research if fellow at the heritage foundation, we don t want to make assumptions, but given the amount of debris related to the titanic, the u.s. coast guard
back a piece of this titan, if that s what it is, it s easily distinguishable from a piece of titanic. that assumes you get it on board a ship and somebody can look at it closely. john: so brad we talked about the possibility that the reason why communication was so abruptly lost back during the dive on sunday, five days ago now, was because there might have been some sort of catastrophic failure in the integrity of the hull. if something like that happened and i guess you could use u.s.s. thresher as an example a moment ago, based on the condition that that submarine was found on, what do you expect if this submersible had been subjected to some sort of catastrophic implotion? well, one thing that robert ballard himself talked about thresher after he saw the remains, he said that the only positive in the whole thing was the death was merciful, and the ship imploded, everybody died
