and good evening from st. john s newfoundland. with a sad and somber evening here. this is where five explorers and would-be explorers were set off on friday, out into the open ocean, traveling so 460 miles from here towards the wreck of the artemis titanic. then, on sunday morning, they were sealed inside the submersible titan, and lowered into the ocean into their descend into the seabed some 13,000 feet below, about two miles. less than two hours later, communication as you know, was lost with the submersible. and we just learned it was about that time that a senior navy official tells cnn, that a navy network of underwater sensors picked up sound consistent they said, with an implosion. but it was determined to be quote, not definitive, unquote. and this afternoon, we learned the worst we this morning, an rov, a remote operated vehicle from the vessel horizon our tech, discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1600 feet from the battle of the tita
community. and around the world, it was amazing to see how this story struck such a nerve. but sadly, i think most people that i was talking to didn t believe that there could be that miracle, and we re afraid that it could be a catastrophic event like this. and today, it was confirmed. and the newest information that we just got from the defense official was that, some sort of sonar equipment did hear some sort of a sound, that could be the implosion around the time they began listening a soon as they learned that there was a problem. well presumably, this technology picks it up automatically. it is meant to be a defense system. it is very unclear what exactly that defense system is. but it is amazing that they picked up. so one hour 45 into the nine hour drive or so, they were very deep by that time. they, the defense department picks up this. they were closer to the titanic than they were to the service. much closer so it implodes at this point it. burst into pieces essentia
james was just saying. a safe way to experience the deep. we ll be right back. back now (vo) when someone is diagnosed with cancer, they need support. subaru and our retailers are there to help. by providing blankets for comfort and warmth and encouraging messages of hope to help support nearly three hundred thousand patients facing cancer nationwide. we call it “the subaru love promise.” and we re proud to be the largest automotive donor to the leukemia and lymphoma society. subaru. more than a car company.
exploded, so. that extraordinary. it happens that quickly. i heard you say, i forgot the figure about how fast something implodes. the miles per hour that it includes. that s right. about 1500 miles per hour. that s the rate. that s just incredible, when you talk about something something to talk about something a small is that. yes. little, 1500 elsewhere. yes. that s what you re saying it so fast that the human brain can t even respond that quickly. feeling of fear or pain, i mean, it would be instantaneous. would not happen. these people they died. and that s horrible. they died in a way that they didn t even realize that they were about to die. so, ultimately, among the many ways in which we can pass, that s
low bandwidth. very slow. you type in a shorthand, there s constant communication back and forth. the mothership is trying to guide you and tell you what you are on the way. back it strangling your position, try to figure how close you are. is there so no on board. the sonar on, rain to 1500 meters we are back for two and having meters, hit the bottom. our pilot, who i think is incredibly skilled, had been studying the currents in the wind and everything at the surface. we were very lucky, we flipped the sonar on. there was the bow of the titanic, 50 meters away. so, we 50 meters away. so, we inched up up to it. out of the gloom with the lights of the submersible on. there s the bow of the titanic. it blows your mind. that s incredible. how long did you spend on the titanic?
