Uncertainty, and hope has got a little more light in it today. i don't know what it means, but there is possible promise in what we've just heard. >> give us some insight on the challenges of going to navigate around that area and for deep sea expeditions in general. you talk about the trinity, fire, hull failure, entanglements, these are what you worry about. >> yeah, these are things that all folks who go into the deep ocean seriously worry about and prevent and have emergency and standard procedures to minimize those risks. i would like to say that friend of mine is on board the sub, p.h. i...

Understanding the p 3 heard some noises today as well. i want to take an opportunity to invite carl to the podium just to talk little bit -- he has more expertise in underwater acoustics, maybe just to speak to that in general. again, there are noises below the surface of the ocean, and so i'll just turn it to carl. >> carl, can you spell your name? yes, c-a-r-l,h-a-r-t-s-f-i-e-l-d. so the ocean is a very complex place. obviously human sounds, nature sounds, and it's very difficult to discern what the source of those noises are at times, but i can tell you that this team has multiple sensors t...
