The international search and rescue operation continues to build in the efforts to locate the missing submersible Titan last heard from on Sunday, Jun.
Why have you reached that conclusion? two reasons, the first one is the depth of water, 4000 meters, i know they ve sent some remotely operated vehicles that can operate down to 6000 meters. but that means that they may be able to locate the submersible. but actual recovery from that depth as an ever been done before. and that s not to say that it cannot be done, it just means it takes time to be able to do it. humans are really resourceful about how they deal with incidents, how they deal with events, and they become ingenious about how to recover from it. but there is a collapsing timeframe. it s not so much the oxygen that everybody talk talks about that s running out, but actually the carbon dioxide that ends up being the killer. you re breathing out carbon darkside, five people in a small submersible, or breathing out carpet oxide with no ability to remove that carbon dioxide from this length of time becomes a problem. that is interesting, because
Passengers aboard that missing sub is narrowing. with us now is former royal navy commander ryan ramsey. ryan, thank you for being here. i know this is a tough question, but do you think rescue is still possible? in all honesty, i m a complete realist, i don t think rescue is possible. my thoughts go to the families the discussions i ve had with other mariners, we all feel the same way that this is an absolute tragedy. but this collapse in, timeframe with the window here, and they have not even located this submersible. so, to deploy rescue forces and find that submersible is going to be extremely difficult and along. so, if they were to find it in the next five minutes, you think that it s not possible to bring it up?
Time is totally the enemy here. or running out of time, and to deploy complex operational capabilities needed to recover the submersible is going to take significant time. yeah. well, former commander ryan ramsey, we appreciate your expertise. we pray that you re wrong, of course, but we really appreciate you coming on the show and sharing your perspective with us. thank you so much for welcome. , tomorrow, on cnn this morning, of course, we ll be continuing coverage of the search for these sub with incitement explorer who once got stuck in the titanic shipwreck. that starts at 6 am eastern. thank you so much for watching us tonight. our coverage continues now.
