fahrenheit. and they have layers, but they re definitely going to be in the dark and layered up and huddled together to try and maintain warmth. this is a crew that would be smart enough to know ow to the do that kind of thing. when you look at p.h., he s been in some rings for 60 years, so nobody has the level of experience this guy does. so if there s any way they can manage, this is a team that can do it. let s keep our hopes alive. thanks for being with us, aaron, i appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. i want to talk to brian, a senior fellow for defense concepts and technology and also an expert in naval operation. mr. clark, thank you for being with us. i appreciate your time. you tell us a bit about what this type of search looks like, whether they can determine sort of where the last known location was of this submersible? is that likely where we start the search? absolutely, ali.
there was a massive implosion. these are the things that run through our minds and we really work hard to prevent in our systems and procedures. one of your friends is onboard that sub, p.h. nargeolet, and i want your reaction to the ceo, stockton rush, said in the past about innovation and breaking rules. i d like to be remembered as an innovator. i think it was general mcarthur said you re remembered for the rules you break. i ve broken some rules to make this. i think i ve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. specifically combining carbon fiber and titanium on a vessel like this that hasn t been done. what s your reaction knowing all of your experience?
if there s anyone you want to be down there this team, like p.h., paul-henry nargeolet, in subs for 60 years, and called mr., you know, mr. titanic, and stockton, his vision of ocean exploration was pushing, you know, was pushing this effort forward and even the mission specialist, the tourists, these are people that were experienced explorers that knew what they were doing, would have been calm, collected, everything they could. so an amazing it s not an average set of people off the street. these are real people that were changing the world. ainsley: and you know, when you talk to, at least stockton, i ve heard him in interviews and he was interviewed by cbs and said it s all risky but in order to learn more and as an explorer part of my job and what i enjoy doing. he said at some point safety is pure waste, i think i can do it just as safely by breaking the rules. was that his personality, and
whether they pinged back. they heard the ping over two days. did they signal back to the sub? they would hear it. that we acknowledge the sound you made. that would lift the spirits of the people in the sub as well. and i don t know if that happened. also, you would change the tapping to make you understand that it is in fact him. or them. yeah. when the coast guard was asked earlier, they seemed to have a lot of questions. they about what the noises were. when it comes to the conditions and the time line that we re looking at. if you re operating off what we ve heard from officials, less than a day s worth of oxygen that is left. are there measures of the crew that your friend they can take that would stretch out what little supply they do have left? yes, p.h. is extremely experienced as a diver, just diving and scuba and also in many submarines.
impossible, we need a miracle, but miracles do happen, and that is what i am holding up for. i know you are holding out, because as we have said, this is personal to you. your front p. h. is on there. you and i were talking about this after you were on the show last night. i know it s a difficult question for you, but do you still believe and i have hope that this is a search and rescue mission? yeah, and very much so. i am very happy to know that the friendship is out there. that s an extremely capable group, and they are motivated because they know and love p. h. as well. and vice versa, he loves them to. i think about that all that all the time.
