6:04 am
course, changed and more difficult because of the fact that the ship has tilted over quite radically on to one side. we were witnessing an i mprompt news conference given by families and a news official and including a couple of volunteer maritime experts who have traveled here a lot of the families were pretty upset and disappointed by what they were hearing at tthe maritime police official was saying they were struggling really to break through windows to try to get access to any of the bodies that they have seen. he was asked if they find survivors when he break through the windows. he said yes, of course, but there are difficultbies air pressure and water pressure and the shear physical act of trying to get through this thick glass at that kind of depth. so maritime experts, the volunteers who have come, were accusing the authorities of not having a plan b of really being able to get through to any
6:05 am
survivors that might have been in air pockets. the real problem, though, is that with this tilting of the ship, we spoke to one rescue diver, a special forces veteran. he was saying that now that the ship is totally submerged and tilted over, any air pockets will have gone and this really, in his estimation, is now from now on a recovery of bodies operation. >> a lot of anger, certainly, harry from the families the way the crisis has been handled. i understand some of them are offering dna swabs to help identify the dead. >> that's something that the authorities have instituted. they are asking families if they are happy -- not happy but if they are willing to come down here and give dna samples so that the bodies, over what could be a weeks-long operation if not a longer could be identified already. we are told the bodies being
6:06 am
brought out are in pretty bad shape. and so again, we were talking to this dive leader. he was saying if they are able to stabilize the wreck by using airbags or lifted slightly to make sure it stays in one place, that will allow them to get more regular access and prevent, what would happen if they just lifted the wreck entirely. the chances of the body simply being swept away and not recovered. he said that was something that would take potentially months. so, it could well be that bodies come out very slowly over a long period, and that will require dna analysis to identify them when they do. >> harry, thank you very much for that update. >> that's harry fawcett. many awaiting news of their loved ones. for many, their suffering has been made worse by the authorities' handling of the disaster. adrienne brown >> reporter: it is of the saddest places on earth. the jimnizeyium that is now a
