60, more sounds from under the seat, as the race to find the titan submersible grows more urgent by the hour. we ll show you what it s like inside the tighten, and talk to someone who raised doubts about its safety. an exclusive cnn reporting from the front lines of, ukraine showing just how difficult the counter offensive underway has been. good evening, we begin tonight with the most urgent deadline there is, for the five people you see here aboard the ocean gate titan somersville, cussing somewhere in the north atlantic on the way to the wreck of the titanic. british businessmen hamish harding, british pakistani businessman shahzada dawood, and his teenage son, suleman, french maritime explore paul-henri nargeolet, and ocean gate founder stockton rush, they are now the subject of a multinational search involving military and civilian ships, aircraft, an expertise, which grew larger in size, capability today. the question is, is it enough, and do they have time? this is new
lot of unknowns. so, i assume that is is a business decision that this company made, because they wanted to be able to bring paying passengers who are paying a lot of money to come down, so you need an interior space that allows for, you know, several passengers. yeah. look, i think that s true. i also think it s true though that if you ve ever been in any of these smaller submersible s, they are extremely claustrophobic. and you are really pinned in. and a trip down to the titanic as a fairly long expedition. i think one of the things that titan was also offering was the ability to just have a little more room, and not be in such a claustrophobic environment. so, i m sure it was a business trip, but i also think that stockton really sought as an innovation in terms of the design of the south, and how roomy they could be. i understand, you are on titan because you want to perhaps do an episode of your show highlighting oceangate s technology, ultimately decide not to go forward w

floor where there is no light. secondly, what would you do if you didn t find it? these are submersible s. they re not submarines. these are low powered things that need a ship to carry them from place to place. they could not tow the thing up to the surface. so, supposedly fighting on the sea floor in five minutes, than what? i just don t understand what technology could get them back up. and the new york times is reporting industry leaders, they have questioned the safety concerns about the submersible. now we re seeing a lot of the components, the approach was experimental. do you see what they are talking about here? yes, and, this was a big focus of my conversations. the ceo and designer. it is true that the stuff he did is not how people do it. nobody has used carbon fiber to make a submersible like this before. nobody has built a submersible
