acoustic device that sends out a signal that might help the searchers locate it among the debris. but that means the searchers have to get some vehicles down there that can listen because the water is so deep, it may be difficult for acoustic signals to reach the surface. >> brian: i wonder how many times and how often they have a rescue plan. when you have a submersible like this, we read the russians always go down with two. is there rescue plan in place? all we have to do is break it out. they've already been through it? >> as far as i can tell, not with this submersible. so what submarines have are a common hatch configuration that aligns with the hatch configuration that's on our deep rescue vehicles and those are internationally common. there's an international standard for that. so if a submarine goes down, a deep vehicle can be sent to pull people off that submarine. that submersible doesn't have that. it's unclear they have a rescue plan in place and that they're in a position to be rescued even if there was a plan.

under way for the missing titanic sub with five people aboard. >> ainsley: the oceangate vessel lost contact with its support ship an hour and 45 minutes into what is normally a 2 1/2 hour dive down to the bottom. >> will: and time is of the essence with the occupants having just 96 hours of oxygen supply. our next guest is a retired navy submariner who is an expert in undersea warfare. brian clark joins us now. thanks for being with us this morning. so many details in this story. so many different potentialities. what's your top line takeaway as you look at where we are right now? what would your focus be? >> time is running out right now. i mean, they have a limited period of oxygen on board which is going to run out on thursday morning, it seems like, at the latest. and clearly, they've had multiple failures on board. so it's incumbent upon the rescuers to quickly locate the submarine or the submersible and try to provide some kind of aid to it because at this point, oxygen and carbon dioxide
a result of people that had political bias. >> you tube under fire after removing an interview with r.f.k. jr. claiming it violates their vaccine information policy. >> if we were editing this, joe biden videos would be taken down because he said vaccinated people couldn't get covid. >> will: fox news alert. clock is ticking to rescue five people aboard a submersible like this one that went missing during a dive to view the titanic wreckage site. >> brian: officials say the vessel has less than 70 hours before it runs out of air. >> ainsley: submarine can leave from a port. submersible cannot. that's why it's called a sub but not a submarine. todd joins us now with more. hey, todd. >> massive search and rescue operation under way right now for that submersible missing in the north atlantic. it was transporting a crew of five people some 12,000 feet underwater to tour the famous shipwreck. costs passengers about $250,000
per person. now, the crew launched around 4:00 a.m. on sunday. lost communication roughly two hours later. officials now fear it sank too far down for a manned rescue. u.k. billionaire harding believed to be on board the vessel along with veteran french diver and crew member paul henry nargala one of pakistan's richest men, and his teenaged son also on board, according to a statement from his company. coast guard officials say they are exhausting every search effort possible. >> this particular sib mea -- submersible is advertised as 96 hours of survival time. we'll continue searching for all means to try to locate the crew members. >> will: oceangate releasing its own statement saying "we are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely." we spoke with a navy veteran on the rescue mission at hand. >> i think you have to keep the
are going to happen with the submarine are happening acoustically. so you use an acoustic radio, if you will, to talk with them. and it could just be that system has failed. the problem, though, is that system had failed, they should have come to the surface right away and the system -- or it has systems to be able to quickly surface. without that happening, it would suggest not only did they have a communication failure, other systems on the submersible are failing as well. >> will: you addressed the likelihood of being able to spot the submersible had it floated to the surface. what about if it is still intact but at the bottom of the sea somewhere? it was described a little earlier as, i believe, not exactly as a needle in a haystack but that's also very difficult to identify them somewhere on the bottom of the ocean. >> right. exactly. if they are on the bottom, there's a lot of clutter, obviously, the titanic wreckage is there. there's a large debris field. it may be very difficult to differentiate the submersible from all the other debris on the bottom. the submersible should have a pinger on it which is an
optimism and you have to focus in on the mission. the potential for the folks on board to survive is at least until thursday midday. just based on nominal oxygen on this vessel. now, if the folks on board, you know, they took active measures to slow down their activity level and try to conserve their breathing, they might be able to thin that out a little bit. >> will: as of now, experts say the vessel has less than 70 hours before it runs out of air. back to you. >> thank you, todd. >> will: there's a chance that the power is out. people are surmising that could be the case. that's why they lost communication. we keep putting a time limit on how much oxygen they have. as i understand it, there's also a machine in the submersible that scrubs your c02 so every time you breathe out, you're in essence poisoning the air and limiting your time further. but they have a machine that scrubs that c02. there's no power, is that machine working? do they truly have all that time with oxygen? >> ainsley: i wonder if weather was a factor.
