discouraging news for the people that have been hoping for a miracle as you mentioned, the oxygen supply had run out, got release from the coast guard this morning that a remote operated vehicle, rov off the canadian ship horizon atlantic had located a debris field. that was the ship that we got the announcement early this morning that put the rov down to the depth of the atlantic, and it had been searching around, as well as the rov off the french ship. so we are waiting on more details. we know indeed it was from the horizon atlantic ship. all of this in spite of optimism people close to horizon maritime who are close to families, the joint rescue command center and halifax announced a ship arrived with medical professionals who specialized in diving injuries. they were carrying on board decompression change bet chambers for people that would have decompression sickness for the amount of time down there. the search to the south of where i am now has indeed been very activ

company, but they ran the submersible and this was their ceo who chose to be, you know, the captain on this particular trip. real quickly, from where your vantage point is, what is the search like now? sometimes on a scene you and i as reporters look around, can read the urgency or not. yeah. we re standing just outside of the base here in boston, this is the coast guard base where they ve been holding the briefings and they have consistently brought the information to us when they could, scheduled the briefings. today s briefing at 3:00 instead of 1:00 and 1:30 on prior days. right now, we think they re gathering information from the rov, with plans to clarify what they re gathered from the rov aboard the arctic horizon, a massive research vessel that powered out there to get to that location just very recently, get this rov in the ground down to the site of the titanic which
there s no gps on these things, so you don t know where on the bottom. they have sonar and ship sonar should be able to follow the rov, so they should know where it is, it can get down fairly quickly. i imagine it could get down in less than two hours. bobby, kevin walling, you brought up an excellent point in terms of weather conditions we are experiencing above the sea and under the ocean. i want, if you could take a moment, describe some of the constraints. i know there was a short time window for the titan to go down there without concerns about weather and currents on that travel. can you talk about how that impedes this recovery effort and potentially an investigation effort as well? sure because not only do you have the rov on the bottom but the ship on the top side going up and down with the weather, with tides and with currents and with weather conditions, so you re operating from an unstable
clearly can reach these. we don t know if they have video or pictures from the rov, that stands for remotely operate vehicle, we don t know if it has been able to grab anything, touch anything, what precise data has been gathered. those are the questions we look for clarity on when the 3:00 press conference gets under way. molly, i have a question for you here. mike tobin, we heard him say at this point we need a miracle to find these five souls alive. we know that oxygen timeline, but i also know that there s some pretty impressive people aboard the titan, hamish harding, set air speed records, dived to the lowest part of the sea bed. impressive guy. any chance lowering the metabolic rate they could have preserved enough oxygen for a miracle here? you know, you are talking about some amazing adven
