than and tom, we have talked about ph s expertise and the knowledge and the years in the water, and how important and critical that could be to their survival if they are alive down there. that s right. ph has more submersible dives than just about anybody on the planet, and it is in a wide range of submersible, and he has been in a number of programs, and the experience is incredible. it is going to be far more ranging than anybody else down there at the point. tom, thank you for coming back in to speak with me today, and let s hope for some good news today. and we will check back in with you. absolutely, kate. thank you. sara. great conversation, kate. the missing submersible is cramped, and likely filled up with carbon dioxide and what the conditions would be inside of the sub likely four days after
the arctic is there to operate a remote operated vessel, and others are on the way, and oren liebermann is on the way now, and can you help us to understand the capabilities of these vessels that we are hearing about, and one that is now on the ocean floor. of course, sara. this is a massive upgrade to have an rov, and remotely operated vehicle on the floor right now. an instead of searching from above or surface of the ocean using sonar buoys trying to pick up on the audio coming from the submersible, and this a vessel on bottom there unman and remotely operated with capabilities that might include photo and video and put eyes on the bottom, and side scan sonar and depends what it is equipped with, and crucially, it is not alone for long, and these are some of the vessels there at the search sight deploying them, and
would be too dangerous without being certified? yes. tom, what do you think of these safety concerns? well, if you are looking at the submersible programs that have operated under the standard rules of certification, they have operated for decades without incident. i think that is saying something about what and how important it is to follow the certification requirements. the fact that this submarine didn t do that is a little disturbing. they may have felt that their technology, you know, using carbon fiber hull was so new that it would have been nearly impossible to get the certification in a time frame that they were looking for. so, you know, as long as there was good engineering and design behind it, and they felt it was safe, i can see why they might
