A search and rescue mission into a recovery mission. i can tell you anecdotally i've been in contact with well over 100 former ship mates and the thought process is almost universal, incredible empathy and grief for any mariner stranded underwater, and whatever their condition is, and followed by not a lot of hope for the recovery. that's a sentiment of the marine force. i remember when thresher was lost, my father was a submarine captain in the early 1960s and i remember the black dark cloud over the submariners and the wives, it was a sad time. >> john: we were talking about this over the di...

Back a piece of this titan, if that's what it is, it's easily distinguishable from a piece of titanic. that assumes you get it on board a ship and somebody can look at it closely. >> john: so brad we talked about the possibility that the reason why communication was so abruptly lost back during the dive on sunday, five days ago now, was because there might have been some sort of catastrophic failure in the integrity of the hull. if something like that happened and i guess you could use u.s.s. thresher as an example a moment ago, based on the condition that that submarine was found on, what do ...

Five people in a tiny submersible last known whereabouts, 13,000 feet under the sea. some 33 hours of air left. also tonight, hunter biden's plea deal on -- we look at the effects. and the plot to assassinate a russian defector on american soil. good evening, we begin now with a desperate search for the oceangate titan. a miniature submarine with five people inside. they hoped to visit the right of the titanic on the ocean floor in the north atlantic but now they face a disaster of their own. they're slowly running out of air. that is, if they are still alive. we simply do not know. all commun...
