i think there s a real sense of sadness and a somberness here obviously. i mean, this is a maritime community. people have been very closely following this obviously all week. this is where the ship these explorers left from you know, it s just a really somber, sad feeling. and i think, you know i think there was hope. people held on to hope. and to hear that extinguished, you know, late this afternoon, it s a difficult day. yeah. even as they had realized, you know, as the days went on that it had become more unlikely. but when it comes to what we heard about those five pieces of massive debris, are there any chances, experts believe they will be able to recover that from the ocean floor? yeah, i think it really depends on kind of who is involved in that and who would actually fund that. you know, i was talking to somebody earlier, a maritime expert in this. and you know, it s not like with the faa, who, you know, are routinely investigate plane crashes. somebody w

Product of at least a 12-year, maybe more, technology development program, went through several different phases. there were a lot of people involved in the design and build of the submersible, including folks at nasa, university of washington s applied physics lab, boeing. a lot of people had a hand in this, all providing their expertise in every aspect of the sub, including the rigorous testing program that it went through. and of course keeping in mind that it s been operating these science expeditions to the titanic for a few years now. so, i wasn t involved in the development of this sub because i left the company since then, but i can t imagine what more they could have done in the development of the sub. i should note boeing has said, you know, they weren t part of the development. the university of washington has also said they had this grant initially, but only a small portion of it actually happened
