field. so when i first heard this report this morning i was honestly confused. i was not sure if they were reporting that they had touched down in the debris field to indicate where they had landed in reference to the wreck site or actually found new debris from the titan sub. as your previous guest mentioned, if they can recover some items and look at them, very obvious whether it s from titanic or from titan, but they ll have to bring something to the surface or get it in a position where they can vich actually by camera identify when it might be. but i m confused as to why that was not distinguished. john: i guess, tom, they probably they put that, and i believe it was the 6 from the horizon arctic dispatched from st. john s, flown in by the u.s. air force to st. john s, i think they arrived on scene this morning, got it down to the bottom of the ocean and almost
Faith leaders shared thoughts and insights on the tragic loss of life after "debris fields" were discovered on the ocean floor and determined to be from the missing OceanGate submersible.
earlier conversation, the point of this one, though, is this immense rescue effort and the cost, and even the danger to those rescuers who are out there on-site. that s the point that s going to be argued or debated for a long time to come. john: and the potential for lawsuits after this might have a chilling effect on anybody who decided to pick up that torch and try to renew tourism to the titanic. after all, they say in a couple of decades, the wreckage might be gone. the window of opportunity to be shrinking quickly. tom, love to get back to you later if we could. sandra: thank you, tom. appreciate the information. thank you. john: bring back senior correspondent mike tobin at the staging area for the search in canada. what s the latest from there, mike, including the following, do we know that for sure that it was the rov from the horizon arctic that found this debris field? yeah, we did see it was
committed to this search to keep it going until something definitive comes up and hopefully you can hang on to some kind of a hope for a miracle. but we have to wait and see what happens at 3:00 with the presser and what happens after that. john: if they have found the sub, it sounds, tom, like they do have the technology between the 6k rov down there, it was brought to the site by the horizon arctic out of st. john s, newfoundland and also the french ship has a heavy lift rov in it. if they have found this submersible, they may be able to bring it back up to the surface. yeah, i mean they have the capability, it s a matter of time and of course so many factors like sea state. luckily they are in a good weather window. we had to pull up our expedition and leave in 2005 because a
capabilities were but the scrubber is your life support. without it you can t exist. in the operating situation, i believe we had about 72 hours. sandra: all right, we are going to put up on the screen the satellite images i just referenced, just coming into us now. extremely tiny images, as you would imagine, from satellite in space, but this shows the search area and search, tom, underway. what did we say, 11:24 this morning this was taken, and this is sort of one of the first looks we are getting, aerial view, at least, of the search, tom. yeah, it s a huge area. they are doing a fantastic job but it s it s a great challenge for them. i mean, you look at those tiny ships and the vast expanse of sea and the size of the submersible is minuscule.
