effective resources available to the response operation. with careful consideration to timeliness of equipment arriving on scene, usefulness and ability to deliver assets to the search area. over the past 48 hours, we have through incredibly unity of effort, mobilized and implemented a tremendous amount of expertise. in addition to the ships and aircraft previously mentioned, we ve dispatched two subject matter experts from u.s. navy, sub salve who will serve as search coordinators on scene for underwater search operations. so i ve been stressing an effort a lot in this statement, and that s because it is absolutely critical to this complex operation. again, our thoughts and prayers are with the crew of the titan and their loved ones. we will continue to work as hard and as quickly as possible in an effort to locate them. i will take a few questions, but before i do that, i do want to i m going to have each of the members, the team here introduce themselves and i ll go ahead and take
both on the surface and beneath the surface, chris. kristen dahlgren in boston, larry daly, obviously we are sending all good thoughts to your friend and all the other four people on board the titan. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. we do appreciate it. still ahead, the dilate effect. new polling that shows that former president trump s support is starting to slip. we re back in 60 seconds. we re back in 60 seconds cold water, on those stains? cold water can t clean tough stains? i d say that myth is busted. turn to cold, with tide. i won t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis symptoms define me. emerge as you. with tremfya®,
and so they wouldn t put a number on it, they wouldn t talk about when they might stop this search. they are continuing to bring assets and will continue and eventually may have to have those conversations with family certainly before they would tell us about it. they are not going there yet, and the one other thing i wanted to mention because you were asking about the safety mechanisms onboard, we learned from previous passengers on board the titan that there are a few things. so they do have a way to manually cast off some of the ballast that would bring the ship to the surface. they also have what s called a necklace system, which is in theory supposed to corrode after about 24 hours in the water, and so that also would drop the weight, and then it would be able to bring the vessel to the surface. and so, you know, the conclusion there if these things were working as they were designed that it is in some way trapped or something else happened, but again, that s speculation. they are
continue air and search assets as well as additional rov capability to search below the surface. we currently have five service assets searching for the titan. we expect ten total surface assets to surface in the next 24 to 48 hours. there are two rovs actively searching and several more are en route and will arrive by tomorrow morning. we received incredible support with aviation assets from our coast guard, air station, and elizabeth city. the air national guard, and canadian armed forces. today there are two back-to-back p3 flights. one is ongoing, 14 hours of continuous on scene coverage and two c 31 flights ongoing throughout the day and into the evening. yesterday the canadian p 3 detected underwater noises in the search area. as a result, rov operations were re-located in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. although the rov searches have
to the unified team, and they re making decisions. so wood sol is here in an advisory role. by our expertise what we see is a tight operational loop that s making decisions based on data and nothing is ruled out. you said you heard there have been multiple reports of noises and every one of those noises is being analyzed, tracked, looked for patterns and reported upon. describe what the noise can you describe what the noise sounds like that they re hearing. well, you know, the noise is, again, very complex in the ocean. you have to be an acoustic analysis, and you have to have context. they re trying to put all the pieces together. the noises have been described as banging noises, but again, they have to put the whole picture together in context and they have to eliminate potential man made sources other than the titan. is it possible is it possible that a ship in the ocean is it possible a ship
