An aircraft heard sounds at 30-minute intervals from the area where the sub disappeared, according to internal e-mails sent to DHS leadership obtained by Rolling Stone
This is pretty much how I feel. We don't send these kinds of assets after normal people. But we send the navy and scramble everything we can over a handful of billionaires.
It's hard to feel sorry for fabulously wealthy people who use their hoard for personal pleasure, while others die seeking basic needs that could easily be provided if everyone shared.
“A team out of the UK named Magellan has an ROV rated for 6,000 meters which is loaded on a plane and ready and waiting to help,” the email stated. “BUT THE US GOV and USCG have not yet given them permits to participate!”
Good ol bureaucracy.
For those who didn’t read the article - The Coast Guard does not have the equipment to even go deep enough. By now they’re tourists are probably dead, but there will be no rescue or retrieval of the submarine without outside help
As an emergency supply, yes. However, it is unclear how much of it is left. People/news quote hour estimations, but it is anyone's guess really. People in panic consume more oxygen. Additionally, it is still unclear what happened. For example, if they had a leak, they will probably have different problems than oxygen.
Let's just hope that they manage to find them, at least in those 96 hours.
