resolution. i ve not seen anything of that resolution. this will allow scientists, historians to reunderstand how the titanic came to be where it is. and it s also a snapshot in time. the titanic was scanned using submersibles. they travelled the length and breath of the wreck back and forth. they took 700,000 images from every angle to build up an exact 3d reconstruction. the wreck is in two parts. the bow is still instantly recognisable, more than 100 years after it sank. 800 metres away, the stern, though, is a chaotic mess of metal. it collapsed as it corkscrewed into the sea floor. and the surrounding debris items are scattered for the ornate metal work, unopened champagne bottles and personal possessions to. dozens of shoes resting on the sediment. despite how extensively the titanic
she told us what had been found. these were discovered by our nonprofit collaborators and citizen scientists in the great pacific garbage patch. they were small debris items, plastic fragments, up to large abandon fishing nets. all sorts of species crabs and barnacles, both native oceanic species and coastal species. which we did not expect to find. most of these species are attached to hard surfaces. it would be rocks or boats or dock pilings. so they essentially settle on plastic.
species living thousands of kilometres from their usual habitats, on a patch halfway between the coast of california and hawaii. it s estimated that 80,000 tonnes of debris are distributed over 1.6 million square kilometres. dr linsey haram is the lead researcher who carried out the work at the smithsonian environmental research centre. she told me what had been found. these were discovered by our collaborators and citizen scientists in the great pacific garbage patch. they were small debris items. up to large abandon fishing nets. all sorts of species crabs and barnacles, both native oceanic species in coastal species. fiend barnacles, both native oceanic species in coastal species. and how do they form- species in coastal species. and how do they form- ?
seen visual and aerial imagery, alone, will not suffice to determine whether or not these items are from the wreckage of the malaysian flight. i think to the extent possible that more vessels and more debris items can be recovered and then either identified or basically determined to not be part of the malaysian wreckage, i think will expedite this process and potentially narrow down the search area. mark? well, i guess, don, looking at the question of the investigation, itself, as it moves forward, irrespective and hopefully we re going to find the airplane and get the answers. but irrespective of whether the aircraft is located or not. the question i guess i would like answered is what is the malaysian government and the malaysian accident investigation authorities going to do to see to it that the mistakes that we have all seen out there are not repeated in terms of communication of information, in terms of the families?
