you about stress fractures and carbon fiber hulls. that s not what i do. i m sure it was very quick. i hope it was very quick for all of those passengers. neil: tom, they re trying working backwards to put a tick tok on this. what we have learned looking at the time line, that last sunday, june 18, when they departed, it was an hour and 45 minutes before all communications ceased from the submersible. so i m going to work backwards on not the not that you have to tell me the exact depth that they were at. if you re an hour and 45 minutes in to what some describe as slow free-fall descent, an hour and 45 minutes, you d still be substantially above the titanic. so as much of the earlier
they can get that information will help give them what they need, but i think we all know, particularly p.h. and stockton, they re explorers and they all of those people on board knew the risks that they were taking. i don t know the other three people, but i know that they wanted to be there. so there s no better way to die than doing something you love. neil: tom, the director, james cameron of titanic fame, he was herely of some of these submersibles, not this company in particular but even his own. they re configured very differently. i don t believe there s any windows on those at all. but that it s dangerous. he would keep reminding people, this is not like a disney ride. i m probably misquoting and i apologize. alerting people to the dangers
the surface. that was the reason we went back to st. johns. we could not make another descent without getting a new thruster. he had to tow it back, repaired the thruster and went back to sea. that is the only incident that i know that they returned to st. john and i was on that mission. neil: amazing. fred, thanks for taking the time. my deepest sympathies for henry-paul nargeolet, a big loss for you, his family and the world. among the others also killed, stockton rush, the 61-year-old ceo of this oceangate. again, they never had something like this. the company boss was on this very submersible. tom zoller joins us and also
titanic expert, the guy that they called mr. titanic, paul henry nargeolet, 77 years old and stockton rush, the founder and ceo of oceangate who apparently was piloting the submersible. again, we don t know what happened an hour and 45 minutes in to this. that is the point at which communication was lost. as tom pointed out and others have told me, who had been oceangate passengers, it s unusual for communication to go in and out so when this first happened we re told last sunday, they didn t make a huge deal of it. they thought after a couple minutes it would be back. it never came back. that s why you hear increasingly that they re talking about that moment of this catastrophic event, this implosion. molly line has more right now from boston. molly? neil, the coast guard offering their deepest condolences to the family
