the first couple of nights. and then excited when i got a tour of the sub and i realised that it was designed with many redundant safety features. and then i got in and we began our dive, and we got 37 feet down and they had a mechanical problem and had to cancel. inside, the sub has about as much room as a minivan. so, this is not your grandfather s submersible. we only have one button that s it. it should be like an elevator. you know, it shouldn t take a lot of skill. i couldn t help noticing how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised. an experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death. where do i sign? this is a very dangerous enterprise. it is marketed to adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, people with a lot of money who want to live on the edge.

and searching as hard as we can and getting people out there as quickly as we can. there are three british people trapped inside. the billionaire explorer hamish harding, businessman shahzada dawood and his 19 year old son suleman. he had the enthusiastic outlook of a young child, really. he was so excited about this opportunity and he mentioned it with the biggest smile possible on his face in telling me about it. so we were all very excited for him and happy for him that he was able to have this extraordinary opportunity. also inside is french explorer paul henri nargeolet and stockton rush, the man who runs the company 0ceangate, which is in charge of this expedition to see the titanic remains. this is an experimental sub. people are informed it is very dangerous down there. last year, he showed cbs how the vessel was operated via a games console. the search and rescue teams
